Sea salt...is this really a good thing? I mean, the oceans are polluted...the things I think about at 2am...go back to sleep, Twister.

Ok brought a sous vide machine ( cooking food in a plastic bag in water) and trying to cook a roast, not sure if I'm doing right! I'll update the results, good or bad!...

You do know when you crunch on salt while eating, it's actually all those plastic beads that are polluting the ocean right?

Fishy things and broccoli.

BLTs!

Pot roast and parsnip puree. Home made yogurt, blueberries, honey and toasted almonds for dessert.

 

[gracie920101]

Onions and peppers in marinara over linguine with chicken meatballs followed by homemade oatmeal cookies.

Trying to use up old fashioned oats I bought by mistake. Thinking about putting them in the food processor to try making flour for some pecan and oat bread or muffins.

The cookies are easier (and delish) though.

Sounds great but I never think of parsnips.

I made peanut lime stir fry with rice noodles tonight

Hmmm, I can't say I would like that but love rice noodles.

Unfortunately this house is now a peanut-free zone so I can't relate although I really do miss peanut butter.

I get weird root vegetable phases. Currently it's parsnip everything for me.

Today's lunch is peasoup with mint and basil. Dinner is leftovers from yesterday.

Black bean soup.

 

[seela]

Ok, I didn't have enough parsnip puree left over from yesterday, so I had to make something else to go with the pot roast. So something else from parsnip it was, because I just can't have enough it.

Bit under a tablespoon or so of melted butter, zest of one mandarin, juice of half a mandarin, around 1-2 teaspoons of honey, salt. Mix everything. Coat parsnips with it. Roast.

Omg, it was so good. I want more!

 

[twister947]

I have never knowingly eaten parsnips. Just not part of the regional palette.

Ribeye. Taters. Mushrooms. Red wine.

Homemade pimento cheese and ham sandwich.

Ooh, tell me more about the cheese! What is it, how do you make it?

It's a southern thing!

Shredded cheese (I used a mild cheddar and swiss in this but my fav is smoked gouda and/or gruyere )
Diced pimentos
Mayonnaise
Cream cheese
Small amount of stone ground mustard
(I also added a heaping tablespoon of sour cream this time)
Garlic (I don't use it)
Onion powder
ground Pepper if desired (I don't use it much)
It's all mixed together and let the flavors meld an hour or two before serving.

One can get really crazy and add in anything you like, jalepenos, green olives, capers, etc. You have to be careful because of the saltiness of the cheese. That's why I added the sour cream. I needed the mixture more moist but didn't want to add more mayo due to the salt content.

You can use this on bread, crackers, chips, fresh veggies....

It also makes a great grilled cheese sammich!

Have fun with it!

Lit is really so good! It's been my one-stop-shop for most everything from kink to recipes, grammar checks, beer recommendations, book talk and museum tips.

I've learned and experienced so much as a direct result of Lit. Most excellent!

I don't think I would have learned about pimento cheese or the greatness of okonomiyaki without this thread.

I’ve been reading about pimento cheese sandwiches for years because they are served at The Masters golf tournament and every year several sportswriters rave about the sandwiches. A couple of weeks ago, I spotted so,e pimento cheese available in the deli at my supermarket for the very first time. I bought some and it was delicious. No s that Gracie has posted her recipe, I might just try to make my own when Masters Week comes around next month.

Litpedia?

That sums up my Lit experience pretty well.

Grilled pimento cheese. Nom.

I spread something similar on a black bean burger recently and it was, if I may say so myself, quite spectacular.
