Chicken: best turkey I ever ate.

 

[Orchidea73]

Frittata di maccheroni.
This weekend I'm going to prepare a boeuf bourguignon. It takes a lot but it has been a long time and this is the perfect period for it.

Our nurse manager used to bring in a complete feast for us when we had to work Thanksgiving. The whole thing. We just brought pies.

That’s nice!
When I was at university I worked extra at a nursing home. When working Christmas and Easter for example, we were allowed to eat the holiday food the patients were getting.

Tonight we had sandwiches made with Christmas ham https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_ham, Swedish vörtbröd https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limpa and salad made with red cabbage, green apples and roasted hazelnuts and a dressing made with mayonnaise and dijion mustard.

Chili, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, guacamole and corn tortillas.

Marguaritas while cooking and MissBehave IPA with the food.

I have lemon meringue. Sweet and tangy, with a bit of cream.

You two ladies know the way to my heart, red cabbage and lemon meringue pie but not on the same plate please.

*Swoon*

We had gingerbread, oranges and saffron buns and later we will have Swedish Christmas sausage http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fläskkorv, horseradish sauce, potatoes and shredded carrots.

Working on dairy free choc chip cookies this morning. And getting creative with the last of our Thanksgiving leftovers for lunch.

I used leftovers to make soup with the turkey and some vegetables. I dressed a salad with the olive oil used to marinate mozzarella balls and finished off the bread rolls. It was delicious and I am really happy with the soup stock as it turned out incredibly rich and flavorful. I think I get better every year at making turkey soup.

 

[ToPleaseHim]

Soup is on my agenda, but I did cheat and buy my favorite chicken broth from Core Life Eatery. I haven’t made my own stock before…maybe at Christmastime I will give it a try.

 

[MeekMe]

It intimidates me. How long do you simmer?

Usually stove top 2-3 hours but this time I used the Instant Pot on the Soup/broth setting. I made the stock and then turned that into soup the next day with fresh veggies and bowtie pasta. The stock came out so good I’ve been enjoying on its own without much in it.

First real baking attempt after the move, ie. with a new oven.

I was inspired by a sweet St Lucia saffron bun video Iris sent me a while back and I made stuffed bread rolls filled with onion, garlic, tomato, mozzarella and some had prosciutto as well. There’s a connection there… ish.

I was worried because it’s still an unfamiliar oven to me, but they turned out great.

Those are beautiful buns, Seela!

I meant the ones in the photo but I'm going to assume yours aren't bad either.

They look great, well done, the oven is working well.

My buns wish they looked as good as my buns!

 

[Wonderer67]

Navy bean and chicken soup.

Soaked the beans overnight. Working from home today so will make chicken stock. Have plenty of older veggies that will use in the stock.

Should be a nice hearty meal when my wife gets home from work.

Words fail me...

Happy Independence Day!

Thanks! It was one of the best Independence Days in recent years.


Today I’m starting the Christmas candy prep. I’m making the first batch of marmalade jelly candies, bilberry-red currant-rosemary. I’ll also make lingonberry-vanilla and rhubarb-apple.

I’ll also dehydrate the leftover erm… berry matter? and turn it into powder to eat with yogurt and oat meal and such later.
