snowing like crazy!!
Comments (19)Hi Michelle, I'm waving at you from Boulder. We had less snow than you did, just 22 inches but I'm still willing to send some to Alexa. My 76 pound dog does not like the snow so in addition to shoveling the driveway and walks, Max had to shovel and tamp down a small area in the back yard so Oliver would go out. But it's sunny here and warmed up to about 30F so I am seeing some melting and evaporation now. Lindac - thank you! I had just about given up on the mixed bean blends. I have never been able to cook them so that some types wouldn't be hard when the others were cooked. It never occurred to me to soak them; I don't think any of the mixes I have bought have said to soak. I'm cooking beans here today also. Peruano beans - never cooked them before. I did a quick pressure cooker two minute soak then a rinse and 10 minutes under high pressure. They are just a little softer than I would have liked so I put a note in with the rest of the jar to cook for 8 minutes the next time. I'm adding smoked sausage, thyme, garlic, onion, some sort of hot pepper or chiles, and a few chopped tomatoes. I think I'll cook the rest of the ingredients together and then add the beans and just let them blend for a couple of hours since I don't want the beans to cook any more. They're not falling apart just a little softer than I would have liked. It's a good weekend for comfort foods. Lee...See MoreAre You Baking and Cooking Today?
Comments (8)Just a bit of baking here then out to the garden. I bought bananas last week and forgot them so, I made three dozen banana nut muffins. I'll share some with my neighbor and toss the rest in the freezer. There is a pot of gravy on the stove, I'll make meatballs tomorrow night. We will have spaghetti and meatballs on Wednesday. As much as I love to bake and cook I'd rather be out in the garden fussing with something. LOL...See MoreWhat Are You Cooking Today?
Comments (14)I think I might just pull some homemade chili out of the freezer tonight. I did pork pot roast last night, and fried chicken thighs (and gravy) with brussel sprouts and smashed potato, rutabaga, parsnips and onions the night before. Both after putting in 10 hour work days. It feels like time for a little rest today. Maybe I'll feel like cooking again tomorrow... and definitely on the weekend!...See MoreWhat's Cooking In Your Kitchen Today?
Comments (49)For the post-post-Thanksgiving dinner, I’m making clam chowder. Basic recipe, potatoes diced and parcooked in duck stock, then shallots, garlic, scallions, slivered brussel sprouts sautéed in butter, add drained potatoes, add flour and herbs/spices/S/P, add a bagful of clam meat (frozen from Asian store), a bunch of T’giving ham diced, then milk, heavy cream, some stale bread buzzed in mini-Cuisinart, and a can of sardines mashed up (since there’s no actual clam juice, I wanted something seafood-y). I can’t find Old Bay but used enough other herbs/spices to approximate it. Simmering now and will add a bunch of minced parsley for color and before serving. It tastes okay, not the best clam chowder I’ve had by some distance, but will be acceptable comfort soup....See More- 8 years ago
