I had 8 ounces of sirloin steak to use up, so I made a beef stroganoff and we had that on toast.

A big high on the carbs (especially the croutons), but so good.

I've tried topping brownies with chocolate chips, I prefer making some kind of frosting, chocolate chips by themself are just kind of boring.

That's why many people name them, and it's not just anthropomorphism.

September 22, 2025 at 10:11 am in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of September 21, 2025? #47376I made and canned 5 quarts of tomato relish yesterday (3 quart jars, 4 pint jars).
September 21, 2025 at 6:31 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of September 21, 2025? #47370We had BLT's for supper, tomatoes from the garden and the semolina bread I made last night.
Are the malted wheat flakes that the brewer supply sites sell the same thing?
September 21, 2025 at 1:05 am in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of September 14, 2025? #47362We had burgers on the grill.

September 17, 2025 at 7:31 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of September 14, 2025? #47342Today was our 53rd wedding anniversary, we had steaks (filet for Diane, ribeye for me), some potato salad and I made a lychee panna cotta with a lychee/strawberry topping. I wasn't sure what lychee taste likes (online sources say pear, strawberry, roses, citrus and watermelon, which covers a lot of ground), but the lychee panna cotta was good and the lychee/strawberry topping was even better.
Panna cotta is one of those things I see on TV cooking competitions all the time, and they usually fail to get it to set in the 30 minutes they have for the dessert round. After having made it last night, I can see why. It took close to an hour to cool down to room temperature and was still very runny at the time, but by this morning it had set up just fine in the refrigerator. Trying to do that in 30 minutes, even with a blast chiller, is next to impossible.
I may have to try making a lower carb panna cotta using Splenda or allulose, but a caramel or Lyle's Golden Syrup flavored panna cotta sounds interesting, and maybe worth the carbs. 🙂
