I have been working on Sourdough Bread for about 2 months now. I just found a different yeast that is remarkable. SAF -Instant Yeast from King Arthur Flour is incredible. The results speak for themselves. Before I was using the little packets that you find in the grocery store. Those were good but this is ten times better. Often you get some yeast that is slow or even dead. The SAF yeast came in a one pound bag and I also ordered the container and measuring spoon. I found that it made a huge difference in my bread. I cannot wait to try in on my Cinnamon Rolls and other recipes.
So check it out at King Arthur Flour.. The cost seems high until you figure the yield you get. Compared to the little packets it is about 1/3 of the cost with much better results.

Cincinnatti Chili
Cincinnati Chili is different from most chili recipes in that it does not use chili powder. Instead it uses Cinnamon, cloves and other spices we normally think of for sweet dishes. Originally started by immigrants in Cincinnati it also served over spaghetti and topped with Cheddar Cheese on other toppings. I will be featuring this and some white Chili in the class on Sunday. Come by and taste the difference.

Sorry for not posting sooner!!
Computers - can't live without them and some days we want to shoot em!! My apologies for not posting sooner. I had a computer issue that is now resolved.
So How is your weather? Are you ready for the big game? If it is cold where you are try some Chili - that will warm you up! it is also good for a Super Bowl party. I always have some ready to go to watch a game. I use it as is and I also put it over some home made chips for Nachos. Making homemade corn chips is very easy. All you need is some corn Tortillas and some hot oil. Just cut the tortillas in 8 pieces and fry until they are crisp. Drain on some paper towels and make sure you salt them while they are hot. Easy!!
I am teaching a class on Chili this Sunday at WS. Drop by and have a taste!
