98 left to go
BTW last nights lasagna was an A+ by Lee's parents!
tonight on the menu
Klumpkies...or stuffed cabbage rolls....
i really had no idea what it took to pull this off, I wasted an entire head of cabbage because if you dont soften the leaves just right...they are a gooys mess of ick!
So head number 2....properly softened and rolls tight with a mix of hamburger carmalized onions and garlic and jasmine rice...called for white rice but it gets so mushy in the oven...ick!
rolled tight and layered on a bed of tomatoe sauce in a 9x13...baked in the oven...
I really wanted to go a lil further but I kinda feel like I have to start with the basic recipe before I can go all dramatic with it and also sometimes less is more...
They really are simple, and ohh so irish! My hunny loves irish pub food and I am not experienced with either...! But if I don't say it came out exactly how I thought they would.
I coupled it with Irish soda bread...
I have had this stuff before and its so simple and nice!
OMFG! I will go ahead and say that if you dont have the ability to just go with it then don't atempt this...
I have made bread before its not really that hard, but this dough looks NOTHING like any bread dough I have ever seen
I had to stop and look at the reciept and make sure I had it all...ohh and also you really do have to use a wooden spoon, an electric mixer puts to much air in the dough.
It's hard to stir and dense...but I went with it...ohhh that heavenly aroma that stirred about in my kitchen!
I was starving by the time dinner was done cooking.
It is an Irish feast to be had and I pulled it off...
I'm tired and my arms are killing me...BUT! nothing comes easy right!
I found myself in the zone in the kitchen...all the stress of the day just kinda diddnt matter. the fact that I was creating something was just more important. Music cranked up high and a hand towel over my shoulder I felt like I belonged there...someone suggested to me that I do it for a living...HELL NO, I don't wanna play with anyone else...I find it erotic to cook with Lee...but some smelly sweaty gross...nope no way...not happenin!
Tomarrows dish...Pulled pork baked beans and coleslaw....
I also wanted to comment on what a few of you asked...Will I share a reciept..sure if you want it...Ill send it to ya...am I bold...honey in ways you will never dream of....and please if you have a tip share with me!
