Gifting this article from The Washington Post - you won't need an account to read it
https://wapo.st/3OESSGAI am amused by this article with such a fancy name. We used to call it "leftovers," "Icebox Revue," and "Train Wreck" when it happened several days later and you just had to use up the bits and bobs. This is what I did for the last two nights!
Tonight, I'm going to make a vegetarian version of Will's Arroz con Pollo using Portobello mushrooms in place of the chicken. I'll through it on a half sheet pan with peppers and onion and some taco seasoning. Going to make the queso sauce to go with it. We found a great recipe that uses evaporated milk which keeps it from separating.
For the last 2 nights Iâve had open faced cheese sandwiches made with my Irish oatmeal bread - last night with cherry tomatoes and tonight with avocado - both in the broiler to Nell the cheese.
Work has been crazy busy and itâs been too hot!
So I just tried to search again on my laptop this time. Found it - I also discovered that there is actually a place where you can choose which forum - on my computer it's in dark purple, so it was hard to read - I'm also having trouble seeing fine print right now - I had searched from my iPad before, but it may have had a forum selected that I didn't know - I thought I was searching everything. Thanks for everyone's input.
BA, you and I are on the same track regarding the recipe. I will definitely back off on the yeast again - I might do 1 ½ teaspoons (I had written 2) go down further on the honey to 2 tablespoons (I used 3 this time) and perhaps add another ¼ cup flour. I will try the yeast and honey first and then see where I am. The bread I have should last for a couple of weeks.
Thanks BA - I tried the search for Irish Oatmeal Bread with quotes and Mrs Cindy and it said there wasnât anything by those names
On Sunday I made my crockpot Caesar chicken which Iâve been eating on salad greens, cherry tomatoes and avocado for the last 3 nights and I still have more - easy for hot weather
On Sunday I made Mrs. Cindyâs Irish Oatmeal Bread which I havenât made in a couple of years. I had made some notes, but I couldnât remember why so I followed the recipe a little more closely. First off, you make a mixture by heating ½ cup Steel cut oats with 2 cups of milk. When it comes to a boil, take it off the heat, add salt, butter, 2/3 cup harvest grains and ¼ cup honey. Let cool. Put it in the bread machine. Add 1 1/2cups WWW, 1 3/4cups AP (I used bread), 1 egg and 3 teaspoons yeast. It also called for whole grain bread improver which I didnât have, so I used the full amount of yeast.
Granted it was hot here, but when the dough cycle stopped it was to the top of the bucket. When I took it out, it was really sticky so I needed to add flour so the I could shape it. It was still pretty soft. I put it I. The Pullman as recommended to let it rise. It doubled in 15 minutes - I erred in letting it go another 5. I know I overproofed as it fell in the oven. It tastes good, but . . .I had forgotten that Cindy liked her breads softer than I do.
I had made a note to use 2 tsps yeast and I should have done that. I also used 3 tbls honey, but could probably reduce that. Iâm trying to figure out if I need to add more flour in the beginning - any thoughts on the proportions? I had forgotten the impact of heat and high humidity even with AC.
Aaron - I didn't know Bickford's still existed.
I had a good friend who introduced me to Dutch Babies, but she always called it "David Air" My recipe always said "Eyre" Since she was a teacher she might have written it that way - it was simple just lemon juice and powdered sugar for the topping.
I had planned to grill some chicken tenders,but it turns out Iâm out of propane. Now I have to figure how to get some more without Will around to carry it.
Anyway, I made a marinade of olive oil and Penzeyâs Mitchell Street seasoning which I got as a sample - I baked them in the oven. Then I made tabbouleh with BRM bulgur, herbs from my box, tomatoes from a neighbor and feta. I had bought a cucumber (organic) at Harris Teeter but when I cut it open, it was bad on the inside. I ended up chopping some celery for the crunch - it actually worked pretty well.
At the end of last year, Will had done a lot of research on grow lights. The one we had used was a simple grow light bulb from the garden center or HD - I think the garden center was out. We got a light from Mars Hydro and of course everyone thought he was growing cannabis, not vegetables. It worked really well initially, but then our plants never took off.
I finally harvested what little I had left outdoors - in 2 months nothing grew - the carrots were less than an inch! But they made a tasty salad. The box now has shade tolerant herbs.So, I guess what I'm saying is that even grow lights are trial and error.
Happy Birthday, Cass! I hope you have some cheesecakeð
Then itâs not an olive oil cookieð itâs an olive oil âflavoredâ cookie. I didnât bother to read it because Iâve never seen an olive oil sweet baked item recipe that had butter.
BakerAunt, I saw this in KABC's Sunday round up and I thought of you - didn't know if you get the weekly email or have seen or tried this recipe for Olive Oil Orange Sugar Cookies
Joan, I am so sorry for your loss. I, too, am glad you were able to be with her so much and to take her treats. Hold dear your wonderful memories.
Aaron, I used my ChefAlarm from Thermoworks to check my oven - they have the instructions on their website. It really helped as my oven ran 14 degrees too high and now we just set it lower - one of the nice things about digital dials. If it calls for 350, we set it for 336 and until we know the recipes, we always check 5 minutes before the end time.
Iâm late too - I hope you had a great day Sara - I miss you.
