What a wonderful show of hospitality!! It was warmer than usual here too & we had "ginormous" yeast rolls also, as my son said. He kept laughing as they got larger & larger. Nice and light, though. haha!Happy Holidays, everyone! I provided dinner for those who remained on the dock. I was expecting 6, but 11 people showed. That was great!!!
I enjoyed the cooking and entertaining for such a crowd, which is a pretty big one for our space. I can only seat six at the table, so we had a packed house. Dining table was full; salon was full. It was a great feeling to have plenty of food and beverage to make everyone happy and feel like they were at home. My oven ran non-stop from 11AM to 7PM. I was having trouble getting my yeast bread dough to take off since I had to turn the AC back on (it got hot in Miami, again), so I closed off the pilothouse, moved the dough into the pilothouse, and peeled back the windshield cover to bring in a little bit of sunlight which created a greenhouse effect. The dough took off in mere minutes and my bread become a monster - like a science project gone bad - it rose so big like I had never seen it before. Well, that's my new "proofing room.".
