Well, it turns out that Coulio the ice cream maker

Well, it turns out that Coulio the ice cream maker really DOES make some serious professional-level ice cream! It's all about getting the ice cream base chilled super-quickly, making the right base, and treating ice cream making as seriously as baking.

Again, a huge thanks again to Hud Benson down at the @porthousegrill (The Porthouse Grill) down in northeast #Maryland, who helped get this up to me and enable my ice cream habit!

From my final road trip with Étienne. Stopped at @HowardsDriveInInc in West Brookfield, MA. Although I tried the burger and a frappe, now I really want to return and try their fried fish/chicken!

As I mentioned last week, a chapter of auto/moto life is closing, as I'm finally putting my 1968 VW Convertible "Lil'Car" on the market. Again, like Étienne who just sold, -- if you know anyone who is seriously interested in buying her - contact me through the Food Biker website and I'll get back to you.

Clock works finally after lots of fiddling with a "PPPP" error. Thank goodness for the online forums -- eventually I got it working. Next tasks are to work on likely the trunk wiring harness (motorized antenna and one of the reverse lights went out). Bring a flashlight!

The last set of #quarantinebaking for a while. Back to a standard white bread it and I'm super-happy with the process. Again, just pull the one in the heavy stockpot (enameled cast-iron) sooner than the standard stainless steel one if you want the color to match.

It's very bittersweet, but here's a photo of Étienne my customized 1976 R75/6 - as I've sold her and she's gone to a wonderful home! It was time and she needs new adventures. I took this shot in the middle of MA on her way home back to Boston. I took almost a full day of backroads and had a blast.

What a mess! The clock in the BMW E30 325iC melted (the screen), and not in a trippy Salvador Dalí kind of way. Time for a cleaning and careful labeling to install the replacement clock. Take your time and use the right tools for the job!

Meet the newest member of our culinary family! His name is Coulio, and he makes some serious professional-level ice cream.

I purchased this from Hud Benson down at the @porthousegrill (The Porthouse Grill) down in northeast #Maryland, and he couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating to help me get it up here to Boston during this pandemic! Can't wait to ride down to those guys and try some of their crab cakes - which are apparently legendary. A huge thanks, Hud!

Crumb was beautiful, and more like a standard loaf. This was screaming for paté and cornichons, and less so for pastrami. Again, I wasn't really shooting for deli-style but I'm pretty happy with it.

Pandemic or not, it's time for more fresh #bread for the week. Decided to mess around and try a partial #ryebread. Went shorter on the open-lid time in the oven, and I got the color I liked. Same hydration too - not sure what I'd adjust exactly yet. Wait until you see the #crumb!

Man, this pandemic is all about the #carbs -- and I'm not talking #carburetors -- When you go king-size with the AP flour, then you gotta' make it happen. Here's some super-fast #fettuccine noodles waiting for some alfredo to go with it. Time for a veggie run for more salad stuff; it's all about balance.

Well, the #pizza from the other half of the bread dough came out just great. However, given the amount of work involved, I've decided that there are recipes out there that do a better job of a NY-style pizza dough crust and take less effort. However, it was pretty excellent and good to know that it's useful in a pinch.

I hope they'd be proud of me in the south of France, as I went a little bit longer on the baking time and got a nice, darker crispy crust. (Seriously - the baking results - even croissants - they like it darker there.) Again, I'm really happy with the crumb. Just watch things like a hawk in the last 15 minutes of baking, as things get dark really fast!

Now, I'm thinking of attempting an Italian Scali bread - which is local to Boston and goes with pretty much everything. Stay tuned.

Riding around with my mini scooter posse (my friend and I both ride red #2-stroke #Vespa #ET2 scooters), what are the odds that we ran into a third ET2, just blocks from where we both live?
Sure enough, the owner is the co-owner of restaurant @cafedupays - and they've converted their restaurant to a take-out grocery called Vincent's during the pandemic! How awesome is this?

I'll have to investigate further. Support your local restaurant that is doing stuff like this!

You know that @foodbiker is all about cool vehicle

You know that @foodbiker is all about cool vehicles. However, this is one kind of vehicle that you never want to see in your own town.
Look closely at the uniformed soldiers.

FYI - I snapped this photo late last Thursday (6/4) afternoon at the corner of Newbury Street and Mass Ave here in Boston.

Don't let this moment in history be a flash in the pan, people. Actually DO something about it.

Pandemic or not, you (YES, YOU!) too can help fight systemic racism. How? A good first step is getting everyone you know to vote EVERY racist out of office this year. If you want to cause change per police departments, this means also paying attention to down-ballot and local elections -- as many police departments are funded at the local level.

Evil triumphs when good people sit back silently and do nothing. #justiceforgeorgefloyd #restinpower #stopracism

Another round of artisan bread. Again, look at that crust and crumb. Be careful when dealing with the rocket hot Dutch oven; you want to live to bake another day.

More artisan bread. This is the kind of crumb that you want to shoot for. The steam trapped in the Dutch oven (in the first baking segment) gives you that rise and crispy crust - that's impossible to get in a home oven as they're vented. Many commercial ovens are steam-injected, so it's otherwise difficult to replicate these kinds of results at home in just a standard oven alone. No, a baking stone won't help here. Save that for pizza night.

Short on beef and pork? Think outside the box. Grab a boneless leg of lamb and break it down. Grill some lamb tips and make some homemade #souvlaki bread and #tzatziki, and serve it over a Greek-style salad. A great dinner for warmer evenings.

Again, a tale of two artisan breads. As I said, if you check out the left one, that was baked in a standard Dutch oven. The right one was baked in a stainless steel and cladded stockpot. Both were baked side-by-side, and pulled at the same time. Note the extra browning on the one on the left. Both work just great, but right now I'm favoring the Dutch oven results.
