RhaenysBee Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I’m making a leek&potato soup. I can’t wait. I also have some leftover makowy to go with it, and a G&T while I wait for it to cook. It’s actually the third today… I will need quite the holiday season detox in January I also have a tiny amount of cubed beef in freezer and I’m going to make beef and barley soup next week. I was going to try borscht but I chickened out and didn’t order beetroots. I really want to make borscht but it seems rather complicated and intimidating. And I’m expecting one particular flavor which I obviously won’t be able to replicate, especially on the first try so it’s bound to be a letdown.

RhaenysBee Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Oh god, people, I just made the worst chicken ever, it was disgusting. I’m certain I screwed up cooking it too, but the recipe itself is repulsive as well. I don’t know, my tastebuds just don’t agree with Dijon mustard. Ugh yuck, I threw the whole thing out and I highly regret even eating the vegetable stew. I had to drink two shots of pálinka to clear the taste from my mouth and disinfect my stomach. Ah yuck, I’m throwing the whole jar of mustard out too. What a fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Been doing the vegitarian thing but fell off the wagon last night, had some friends over and made up about 5 lbs of chicken wings. Pretty stoked with the wings, I have the dry rub and bake dialed in right where I want it. I've gone through phases of smoking them, grilling. I think my fave are slow roasted in the oven. Did buffalo, garlic herb, and naked wings last night. Served with celery and carrot sticks and made up a blue cheese dip that came out great. Bunch of fresh parsley and a little lemon juice in the dip. Also made a bean dip and napa / mix greens salad for before hand. Now I'm back on the veggie train and doing roast potatoes (red and sweet), fennel, and cabbage for dinner tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently all it is: you take a recipe for chicken chowder, and add beans and chili powder to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 Tried my hands on some veggie oven dish. Didn't expect too much of it, since the receipe has an eggplant in it (not a fan). But fair enough, it's edible enough for me not to throw away the receipe.

RhaenysBee Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I have no idea what’s for dinner, but for once I managed to buy lunch at the office that was neither fried, nor made of potatoes. I actually had vegetables and grilled cheese for lunch. The joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. There should be absolutely no milk or cream in a white chili. My white chicken chili consists of chicken, chicken broth, whole white beans, mashed white beans (this is what thickens it), green chiles, jalepeno, onion, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Scoop that into a bowl, add some mozzarella to melt over and some tortilla chips for some crunch. Super easy and absolutely delicious. Much prefer it to regular chili.

I didn't find any, but some did call for sour cream - which is one of the only foods I truly dislike. Even those, though, were in very small quantities compared to the entire pot and a far cry from a "chowder". I'd definitely recommend trying one w/out milk products. This is the one I like, though I do add more mashed beans since I like it thick. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/228650/easy-white-chicken-chili/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I made a very tasty dessert for dinner with friends on Friday, Mango carpaccio with ginger sugar syrup and ginger ice cream. I was looking at the “skip the line” featured books at the Toronto Public Library website last Christmas and found a book of desserts by some fancy, five star chef, and borrowed it for a hoot. Most of the recipes were just too complex to bother with (steps and ingredients). I bought stuff for the recipe but we had way too much food at Christmas so I never made it. Two weeks ago I made a stripped down version with very thinly sliced mango and ginger ice cream, since my 3 friends wanted a lower calorie dessert. Then on Friday I made it for 8 of us, adding the ginger syrup, and boy, that kicked up the dessert very nicely. You take 2.6 oz of ginger root that you’ve peeled and grated into a cheesecloth, squeeze it, get about 1/4 cup of juice. Dissolve 1 1/2 cups of sugar in 1 cup of water in a heavy saucepan, and when done add the strained ginger juice. I hadn’t noticed it said make a day ahead, making it the same day was just fine. I poured a mere tablespoon of the syrup over each serving of the mango carpaccio and added the ice cream on top. The fancy recipe also called for sugared ginger slices and sugar lime peel, but I passed on that, although my friends suggested grating some lime peel over the ice cream would work nicely as well. The recipe also calls for making your own ginger ice cream, but the stuff I found at the organic grocery store is so lovely I couldn’t be bothered. And I don’t have an ice cream maker anyway. eta: the secret is ripe mangoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Oatmeal is for dinner I suppose. Every time I try to not waste food and use up that last carrot/potato/whatever that’s looking a bit wrinkly and aged, I end up dumping the completed meal. I got so caught up checking if the potato was okay that I didn’t even taste or squeeze the carrot. It cooked rubbery and slimy so I guess it was not good to use in the first place. So instead of dumping two carrots, I’m dumping a full saucepan of soup. Every damn time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A True Kaniggit Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Well I was going to eat my leftover chicken fried steak. But the baby sister ate them during her lunch break (Damn the fates that let her new job be only a 8 minute drive from my refrigerator) Ramen noodles it is I suppose.

Fragile Bird Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Mother’s Day. My best friend’s son made ravioli stuffed with butternut squash, with a sauce of butter and sage. Amazing. I made the salad, romaine lettuce with fennel, orange segments, red pepper and green onions, dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette. And a mango cream for dessert, mango blended with a tablespoon of lemon juice, lime juice and orange juice, then with beaten mascarpone added and then whipped cream (whipped with a bit of icing sugar) folded in. Yummy! A glass of rose cooler, a glass of rose sparkling wine for the toast, and a glass of a beautiful Cotes de Rhône and I am so drunk I’m lying in bed at 9:19 pm because my head is spinning. Maybe 2 glasses of the Cote de Rhône…maybe 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Dal with some rice. Was actually timed perfectly for the lentils and the rice to be ready at the same time. Or rather would've been timed, had I turned on the hotplate for the rice, too. Ok, now waiting for the rice, letting the lentils cool (rather that than cooking out the flavour). Then just 5 more mins for the spices and stuff to get fried. Worked out fine in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
