Dont forget the corn bread There V !!

BigV · 01-01-2012, 08:59 PM

cornbread. comin' up.

BigV · 01-01-2012, 11:11 PM

this is done, and it was delicious.

My Mom used to make corned beef and cabbage on the New Year "for luck", this was good too. The only interesting part was when I caught the oven on fire a couple times. I'm getting a new oven, goddammit. I'm tired of burning shit in it because it uses the broiler element all the time. There are pictures, but by the time I retreated to get the camera, the flames were unimpressive.

Dinner was delicious however.

We're having fish and mudcrab and salad. I'm not cooking, so it's going to taste great no matter what.

Today's kitchen experiment is ...

Carrot and Ginger soup, as a consequence of the recent carrot sale at my stupidmarket.

Onions and garlic sweated in oil, add in some ginger, dump in the carrots, add some pepper, and then a load of chicken stock (three cans for two pounds of carrots, I probably could have gone with two just fine) then bring to a boil, back off to simmer for 15 minutes (or until the carrots are nicely soft).

Then it got whizzed through the Very Dangerous Blender to make it more soupy.

I ran out of ladles and serving spoons because I kept dipping out a cup, putting the used ladle in the sink, and then I realized I wanted more and I had to get out a new ladle, and then I'd put it in the sink and realize I wanted more, and then ... well, you get it.

It is really good.

I'll probably back off on the pepper, and come up on the ginger next time.

I started feeling sick at work today, so my very understanding wife went out and got fixings for matzoh ball soup and made a large pot of it that I will be eating all weekend.

BTW, any of you Brits need to immediately cross the channel and try one of these Darth Vader Burgers on a black bun and get back to me with a report.

BBTW Wolf, when are you coming over for dinner?

ooooh. Light or heavy balls? My friend's grandmom made the heavy kind, and I dutifully ate them for many years, but I have a great fondness for the light, fluffy ones ...

Pork ribs, zucchini, and potatoes. Very tasty.

Somewhere on here I posted that I was making a ham pie from Christmas leftovers.
Given that we only have small pie dishes and the recipe served 6-8 I split it in two.

I thought it was yummy, and it certainly seemed to go down with the 'rents, but Mum seemed a bit keen to put the second pie in the freezer. That'll be discreetly disposed of, I thouhgt.
Nope, we had it again this week, and it was as good as I remembered.
I can't pat my back majorly - it was from a recipe after all, and in fact I didn't really put enough pastry on it. But it was my idea to use the ham this way (after carbonara was rejected) as all Mum could think of was cold ham with jacket pots and pickles or cold ham with aggs - both of which she did.

We have a turkey crown as our roast tonight.
Yummy.
I might even suggest a turkey pie along the same lines as long as enough is left (unlikely - Mum loves turkey sandwiches the next day).

Trilby · 01-08-2012, 06:55 AM

oh, lord. Don't talk to me about pies. Imma doin' atkins again. I did in 2003 and lost a lot of weight and felt really, really good; so now that I am at my absolute nadir of exisistence, I've decided I"m NOT going to die anytime soon (not soon enough, anyway) and my plan to just lie on the couch until I decomposed wasn't working so I'd better do something different.

wish I knew how to post pics. truth is, I've no camera or pic taking instrument in the house. Im doing this for a solid year and then I'll re=evaluate if Imma gonna live.

In the meantine, enjoy that crust!!
