In which there’s not really a recipe so as much as an assembly idea. I have leftover chili and it needs to be eaten, but another bowl of chili does not sound appealing. So I’ve mashed up a few recipes and here’s chili cheese enchiladas. Ingredients: leftover chili corn tortillas cottage cheese grated cheddar, divided […]
In which it’s the #breadin5 recipe! Okay. So. There are cheeses that need to be enjoyed with good bread. Not the crap from the Safeway bakery, but good bread. What they call artisan bread now, what used to be rustic peasant bread. Bread you can only get from fancy bakeries now. I got too spoiled […]
In which I think I’ve successfully copied my favorite canned chili beans, which I can’t find in my local grocery. 1 c. dry pinto beans, picked over 3 c. water 1-2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1/4 tsp. onion powder a glug of vegetable oil Cook in an Instant Pot under high pressure for […]
In which his mom freaked out and sent us a ton of stuff! Four gifts each, eight total, more than doubling what we had under our little tree for each other! Before: And after: I got an electric hand mixer! And a bath caddy! And other fun stuff! And he got clothes and toys! And […]
In which there are leftovers. I made aloo matar, carrot raita, and naan for dinner. Even though I halved the naan recipe I still have four or five leftover, so have been surfing for ways to use them. Behold these fancy pizza ideas: – Naan, olives, pesto, red pepper flakes, grilled artichokes, walnuts, chopped parsley, […]
In which Christmas is in two weeks and I finally put up the tree! How is it Christmas in two weeks?! What the fuck, time. Of course, in Minnesota we’d have already lived through two blizzards and weeks of sub-zero temperatures, so the lack of brutal weather makes it sorta feel like it’s earlier in […]
In which I’m already planning next year’s tomatoes! While there is a back yard on the west side of the house so enormous it could support an absolutely giant garden, there’s also a huge shade tree back there, and tall fences, so I’m not really sure about sunlight. Plus, to put a garden in the […]
In which there’s sodium citrate, aka melting salt, in American cheese, so it makes great nacho cheese sauce. You may be a human being who, from time to time, thinks to yourself, “I want some freakin’ nacho cheese sauce.” But when you look up nacho cheese sauce recipes online, they’re all roux-based, which is basically […]
In which I served soup and salad for dinner this evening! The soup is this one, more or less. (I added a carrot and red pepper flakes, used bouillon and water rather than broth, used tomato paste rather than sauce, and winged all the amounts, BUT OTHERWISE, it’s basically that recipe! Yum!) Salads were of […]
In which LEFTOVERS. So I decided to go out for coffee or something. Got dressed, organized my backpack with all my stationery crap and devices, put on shoes… and then couldn’t decide where to go. Realized I was hungry. Sat down at my computer and looked at food delivery and recipes. Finally got so hungry […]
