What are you Cooking the Week of February 14, 2021?

[Italiancook]

Thanks, cwcdesign & Mike for the caramelized onions information. I'm going to try the crockpot next time, cwc, because I don't think I use my crockpot enough. Now that Mike has explained I don't need to break all the onion slices into half-rings, I won't think caramelized onions a a big chore.

[Mike Nolan]

For onion soup I like pieces that are no more than about 2 inches long, otherwise they can fall off the spoon. I usually cut the onion in two through the poles, so everything is half moon or less.

For burgers and hot dogs, size isn't as important.

[cwcdesign]

I agree with Mike about cutting the onions in half too. I hate the long strings you can get if you leave them in whole rings - they twist around spoons and such

Leftovers here tonight last of pimento cheese sandwich and vegetable soup.

I made another batch of yogurt on Saturday.

I also roasted potato wedges again to go with leftover salmon patties for dinner, along with microwaved frozen mixed vegetables.

We had salad (picked 2 bowls of it today) plus assorted leftovers and apple pie for dessert.

It makes me smile to hear of you picking bowls of salad lettuce in the middle of winter. I've given up on my husband researching an Aerogarden for us. All his attention is on nursing a Magnolia bush someone gave us for Christmas. He wants to plant it outside in the spring. I have tentatively decided on the Farm 12. Based on an article I read, I have a small open bookcase to house it. BUt I haven't yet measured to make sure the bookcase will fit in the spot I have in mind.

Years ago the Nebraska public TV auction (remember those?) had 120 pounds of NY Strip Steak as an item, and I got it. Turned out it was ten UNCUT 12 pound strips. So I spent the better part of an afternoon cutting, wrapping and freezing 9 of them, saving the 10th one, which we roasted whole and served as a Christmas dinner for my employees.

Anyway, we wound up with something like 90 NY Strip Steaks in the freezer. So all summer it was:

What are we having for dinner?

NY Strip Steak.

What AGAIN?

Some days it seems like we're at that point for salad, we went 2-3 days without picking or having any, which is why there were 2 bowls of it today.

I'm letting my Aerogarden stop producing lettuce now. The lettuce and spinach and scallions I have under the gro-lights are producing more than enough for our salads. I just can't keep up with so much. And I could live on green salads. I had to cut back on how much I was eating because I was getting an excess of Vitamin K, and since I'm on a blood thinner, I was getting huge bruise spots on my arms. By the time I finish up with the gro-light lettuce, I'll have some to eat from the planters on my deck!

[Mike Nolan]

My son's aerogardens (he has 2 of the 24 pod farms now) got a nasty aphid infestation, so they've shut them both down and are cleaning everything.

Some of our dill has grown above the grow lights and went into bloom, so today there was a dusting of pollen all over the aerogarden. Wonder if it'll set seed?

We're wondering how much longer our initial gardens will continue to be productive, I'm guessing at least another month or two.

I also found two links for Kringle for FN. 2nd and 3rd links below. One of the recipes is from the Racine bakery. There is a 4th link to that Racine bakery Hopefully this is what you are looking for!

rottiedogs, Yes! that's the caramelized onions process I couldn't find. Thank you for looking and posting. I wasn't the one looking for the kringle recipe, so I don't know if that's it. I don't understand -- what's the wayback machine?

[kimbob]

Easy dinner--clam strips and stuffed clams. Ran out of lettuce and not going out. Right now it's snowing hard and we have 2 inches already.

[Joan Simpson]

Tonight we had cubed pork,broccoli and cheese sauce and a baked sweet potato.
