Everyone should post pictures of what they talk about eating itt, it's funny if you're too afraid to even do that though.

The smoked deviled eggs (smoke hard boiled eggs that are short cooked, where the yolk is still a bit soft in the middle, so bright and slightly undercooked) for twenty minutes on the lowest setting possible or in my case just dry enough to cause smoke, and the filling has brown mustard, super hot horseradish from the butcher, a bit of mayo and MW, and candied bacon as a garnish, of course s/p tt) are selling really well. And the cherry and dark chocolate bread pudding is gone in two days. Have no creativity for home, though. Fake strogganoff for dinner.

We've got a big nasty storm rolling through so it's good soup weather. I made creamy tomato soup and toasted ham and cheese sandwiches on mini brioche buns.
I also bought a new slow cooker today to replace my broken one, so I'm looking forward to using that.

Remind me to make a nice stew or something; chicken or beef would be nice, and it'd be a change from chili... though I've not had that in a while either.

Hmm... what to have on the coldest day of the year?

Oh, now you're making me really want to make kjötsúpa(lamb soup). Going to have to look for cheap cuts of lamb meat though.

I've been doing this too but my favored oats are McCann's. I love them. I love them with buttermilk and salt.

Making a Hamburger Helper (Double Cheeseburger, who knows what that means.) because I am very, very tired. Let's see if good local beef and milk make it better.
E- Apparently Double Cheeseburger means twice as much sauce. Use half the liquid told on the back of the box. (Halve the milk and water proportionally) Also, never know why HH wants blown out pasta, but seven minutes is fine for cook time.

E2- Apperently I'm also making breakfast sausage for egg sandwiches again tomorrow, because the morning cook can't make sandwiches to order, and dropped a bag of patties on the floor. I'm really tempted to make her prep the sausage, for once. Maybe she won't be so wasteful after her endeavor. 5lb ground pork
4t- 1.5T Salt
1T BP
2t Ground Sage
Mix the meat and spices and let sit for at least 24 hours before portioning and pressing.
You should get around 35 2.3oz pressed sausages for a 5lb batch.

I tried making pad see ew a second time, and this time it turned out a lot better as I was able to get the noodles to the right texture this time. I still need work on getting the sauce right, though. Maybe the third time, everything will turn out right.

I've been doing the same. I like rolled oats with milk, cinnamon and a little brown sugar, drizzle of honey and when it's done I top with a tablespoon of chia seeds. Sometimes if I feel like it I'll put 1/2 tablespoon of butter on top and let it melt into the oats.

As for this evening, I made potato gnocchi for the first time. It was surprisingly easy, but tedious when forming them all. Turned them into a mushroom alfredo dish.

Funny that oatmeal should come up in this thread, I just made a huge batch to test out my new slow cooker! My usual oatmeal method is to mix instant rolled oats with milk and other things (lately it's been dates and peanut butter) in a mason jar and put it in the fridge overnight. I'm not usually patient enough to make steel cut oats. These turned out beautifully- so beautifully in fact that my oatmeal-hating mom (she compares oatmeal to if you take the paper-circles from a hole punch and added milk) enjoyed it and requested I set some jars aside for her breakfasts.

The main problem with steel cut oats is waiting for them and if you set them on a timer you don't have to wait for them. They're ready when you get up. This is why I love a rice cooker. It cooks oats better than it does rice.

Made baked salmon last night with a garlic butter sauce. I'm not a seafood person and have never had salmon before but I wanted to try it for something different. Unfortunately I wasn't a fan. I'm willing to try it again though, maybe it was the sauce that threw me off.

 

[A borscht-on]

Thawed out some homemade turkey broth (have a few batches in the freezer from Christmas) and made a tasty Southwestern -ish soup: Heated up the broth, added half a cup of rice, a tin of diced tomatoes, cilantro, minced jalapeno, and loads of lime zest and juice. Delicious. If I'd had turkey or chicken breast to add, it would have been nice, but I didn't really miss it.

Guten aund everyone! As a special treat this evening I have made a German delicacy sauerkraut and sausage with potatoes

With a tall glass of beer to go with it all I can say is prost mien Freuds!

 

[Syaoran Li]

I made dinner tonight for me and my uncle. Angel Hair pasta with a mix of traditional and Garlic & Herb tomato sauce and for drinks, I made sweet tea.

It was simple, really.

Some basic fajitas. All it had was stripes of chicken, pimento and onions, plus some homemade merquén (smoked ground chili peppers), but me and my younger brother feasted like kings on them.

Last week I also cooked a thick beef stew. Sadly, I used some store-bought veggies, and I didn't check on their due date. It tasted rather bad, and my brother refused to eat anything other than the meat.
