Sounds good to me. I hope they taste good.
Cookies of Two Dimensions
One recipe, two methods. Cookie Left: chilled dough, convection oven. Cookie Right: dough done then cooked normally.
Convection cookies presented perky with some chewiness while normal cookies were flat but crispy.
It’s a preference really.
My sample size of m ( ‘m’ for men ) were split.
Comments for convection-
M1: meh. Chewy. I’m not into chewy
M2: mgrats mgrood. ( translated by wife as “that is good, Honey, how lovely of you to make cookies. Is it possible that I could clean up and then sweep the floor after?” )
Dinner: Grassfed Beef Braise
It feels so good to prepare grassfed beef and stick it in a pot after a quick brown then pop it in the oven for some hot lovin. I know this beef is tasty. I know where it came from. This is the way food should be.
Have you hugged your local farmer today?
It’s Alive!
My first attempt at fudgsicles was a complete success. Husband was thrown back Ratatoullie style with fond fudgsicle memories of childhood.
Too bad I only made one. Recipe to follow.
When Life Gives You Leftover Roast Chicken
Make chicken enchEEladas.
Don’t buy the store sauce. You have all you need in your kitchen. Onions, garlic, tin toms. If you’re missing cilantro, add a dash of cumin and say, “chinga tu madre.”.
Dinner: Porkchop Surprise with Zuch Pancakes
Surprise! Pork again!
A quick brown. Then onions, flour,wine to loosen the brown. Add stock and love it until it tastes so fine.
Pop the pork in the sauce, stick in the oven. Work on your pancakes.
Zuch pans from Fannie Farmer. Fried in lard. Don’t forget some potato and sweet potato mash.
Super yum fit for six.
Friday Night Chili
Friday Night Chili is brought to you this week with an abundance of duck fat.
Keep it simple:
Love thy onions with a star anise and lots of animal fat until they’re smoogie
Add some crushed garlic
Meanwhile, in a different pan, brown that beef then add wine and reduce
Add tomato paste to your onion mush
When it’s brick red, add some tin toms
When your onion-tomato goob has fallen into a rough sauce, add the beef
Then add a few cups of stock and let that baby simmer.
You can add beans, but I don’t because beans, beans they’re a musical fruit.
Powdered Sugar Made at Home
Don’t you go buying powdered sugar. Stick it to the man and make it yourself.
Here is how:
1cup and a half of plain granulated sugah
1tablespoon of corn starch
Stick that mix in a blender until it looks like powdered sugar. For me and my big-arse blender, that was under a minute. Let the dust settle and you will be well on your way to freedom. Freedom from people charging crazy prices for something so simple ( see vanilla extract ) makes me feel alive.
Sausage, It’s What’s for Lunch
A little pre-boil, then browned served with some apples of the earth.
