What's cookin', good lookin'? Part II

[midwestyankee]

No commas missing. I use the soup as the liquid instead of water. I do this with all sorts of vegetable soups and purées, turn the leftovers into bread.

Brilliant!

Yesterday:
Jerusalem artichoke soup with toasted sunflower seeds and ground black chanterelle.
Roast beef, carrots, candy cane beets, green beans, pepper sauce.
Yogurt with honey and cloudberries for dessert.

Today:
Leftover beef and veggies.
Bread rolls made with the leftover soup.

Mm, sounds heavenly! I love Jerusalem artichokes.

We put flowers and candles on the graves yesterday. As there are some rather fresh and raw feelings about it this year, we followed it with roadtrip and a wonderful restaurant in an attempt to balance the day with something positive.
We ended up having truly great pizza and I had baked Alaska for the first time in way too long.

Today kids are out and about doing their own things and we are getting to have all the pasta aglio e olio to ourselves.

I stumbled on this Thursday evening. She makes several recipes I would like to try but will have to pick and choose my time since they are all so carbohydrate heavy. (just what I constantly crave!

Yup, stomachfiller food, we call it here. We ate a lot of that kind of food when I was at university. I remember once waking up in tears because I had dreamt about steak. Husband took me to the steak house that night claming that I must be having deficiency symptoms.

Looking at the clip I yelled ”Don’t break the pasta!”, seconds before the text appeared. Scared both kid and cat.
Also, I get soo nervous watching these little old ladies cut vegetables! My aunt cuts the towards her own stomach and I just can’t watch it. How do they manage to get to that age and with all their fingers?

I commented to J about that and he said his grandmother refused to use cutting boards. She proved she was faster at dicing in her hands than his mom using a cutting board. I was brought up the same way til I moved away from home and discovered how to use one.

It cracked me up that she would throw everything in the pot and THEN add the oil. Those potatoes must have died soaking it all up.

I cringed over breaking the pasta, too but no animals were harmed!

Life is good sometimes.

I'm craving amatriciana today. But I'm preparing some broccoli balls too.

I’ve got to try this!!

The previous thread went over 5,000 posts, so here's a new thread for our culinary explorations.

We're having salmon and lemon risotto today.

Tonight for dinner, I will make chicken and tuna Sushi

I’ve got to try this!!

I’m very surprised this soup bread thing caught people’s attention now, because I’ve mentioned this so many times before, too.

But yes, do try, I think it makes for some really tasty bread. Usually I make bread rolls instead of a loaf, because the dough rarely turns out as easy to handle as a regular bread dough, so rolls are easier to make. Super tasty, though.

Leftovers of mashed potatoes are regularly turned into flat bread in Finland. Add barley flour, egg, milk/water and salt (depending on how well seasoned your mashed potatoes are). Stir everything together quickly, don’t stir too much or it’ll go gloopy. The dough can be quite sticky. Flatten it in circles on a baking tray with floured hands and prick with a fork. Bake in pretty high heat, like 225-250C/435-480F. So good!

The red wine version was pretty darn tasty too, though!

Yeah, it worked.

I made a Mexican-inspired chicken casserole with brown rice on the side. I had made this once last week and it was delicious, so I decided to make it again.

That sounds wonderful!

I think I started baking bread six to seven months before the pandemic started so I guess I didn’t notice earlier because I didn’t really make bread. I need to branch out and try some different techniques. This will definitely help with that.

Made home made split pea soup Sunday. Turned out excellent. Made homemade croutons.

We farted a lot but it’s a cooler weather favorite in our house.

Had White Castle tonight. Love it, no shame, but definitely glad we don’t have any close to us.

I’m making dinner rolls for tomorrow’s feast. I know everyone seems to complain about school lunch, but I actually enjoyed warm meals and one of my favorite parts was this particular bread roll they always served. I would save it for last because it was the best part. I found a copycat recipe and I’m making them tonight. I’m really excited about these rolls and surprisingly don’t really care about the roasting turkey, mashed potatoes or other sides. Even the pumpkin mousse dessert isn’t that exciting. I need these comforting rolls in my life.

This is the first year I'm not cooking a thing.

It feels weird.
