An egg shell isn't poisonous but I can't consider it edible. I know chickens are often fed egg shells as a calcium source, but does this do people any good?
I did cottage pie for last night's supper and today's lunch. The filling was the ground beef and onions and carrots and potato mixture I used for the Cornish Meat Pie last week. Yesterday's topping was mashed celeric, and today's was mash potatoes. The celeric mashed up okay and had a mild slightly turnipy taste, but mashed potatoes made a much better topping. It was softer and richer and smoother. Both toppings benefited from butter and pepper.
Individual cottage pies are easier than individual pot pies and possibly have less fat -- I wouldn't know as I didn't actually measure the butter that went into the mash potatoes.BakerAunt;
Is there any place warm that you can start seedlings and move them to your porch after they start to grow. I never thought that energy efficient windows would actually block heat from entering the house -- I know that they were designed to do it, but I didn't think that it could work that well.Missed this completely.
I wasn't thinking of summer at all. I am trying to eat more beans too, but I mainly cycle through soups, and baked beans. I don't like cold bean salads at all but some bean salad ideas are fine when hot. I do like falafels so if I think of this as a baked falafel I might be more intrigued.
Interesting, but I don't feel any overwhelming urge to make it. You could make a nice carrot and ginger and bean soup with those ingredients and serve with toasted hamburger bun. 🙂
I did cheese pizza.
Correct guess. The trouble with true and false questions is that even the people who know nothing about it like me, can be occasionally correct.
BakerAunt, your pizza sounds wonderful, as does your blood orange cake, as does the Sourdough cheese crackers. I wish you lived close enough to visit.
I hope to do another batch of Hot Cross buns this weekend but I need to clean up at least part of the house so that might not happen. I will be doing a pizza but mine are normally very simple cheese pizza without fennel or Tuscan seasoning or cherry tomatoes or other nice things.
I got it.
I did my three bean, gabanzo, Great Northern white, navy bean, soup yesterday. It was a take on a vegetable and fennel bean soup, with celeric instead of the fennel. There was a disproportionate amount of celeric in there. I had bought a really big celeric root, and while I only use half of it, it still was more celeric than onions and carrots and celery combined. The soup was also far too boring in color with the white beans, and white celeric predominating over tomatoes and carrots and parsley. It was solved from total blandness by a little harissa ( Mediterranean hot pepper sauce ) and a sharp Vermont cheddar cheese sandwich. The good news is that celeric is a perfectly acceptable soup vegetable keeping its shape nicely.
I'm going to be eating this soup for ages. Luckily the jar of Harissa sauce is nearly full.I wish someone would make a bread bucket. I had an antique one with a hook and a crank. It was designed to clamp on a table. I used to do 3 or 4 loaves of bread at once. However it was so old that it was made in the days of lead solder, so I gave it away.
I had a more modern one, but it didn't have a clamp and did have a tendency to move when you tried to use it.If you had lots of money, the Anxstrum ( sp ) mixer would make a nice bread kneading machine. That is however more expensive than a bread machine.
I got it!. BakerAunt, I think it would make a good scone.
I just baked 4 chicken thighs, won't eat them tonight its to warm up for tomorrow's lunch and supper.
I wanted to make garbanzo beans into soup, but found I didn't have 2 cups of garbanzo beans. I looked into my cupboard and managed to get find two cups of dried beans by combining garbanzo, Great Northern and navy beans. This is now soaking and I'll make tomato/vegetable/3 bean soup tomorrow.Chocomouse; How is the weather? I read about the spring NorthEaster in the New England area.
BakerAunt; congratulations on the chickpeas.
