Something Delicious

Ursy · 02-03-2013, 12:57 AM

House is not on the market yet, hon. Kris is just not well enough to do anything, and I can't do it all. This is why I'm freaking out! Hopefully one of Kris' friends is coming over next weekend to help with the garden.

Tonight, Bek and I are making pizza. We've just put the dough in the fridge because I don't want it to rise too fast - I have some gardening to take care of first.

She seems to be enjoying time in the kitchen - last night, she asked Kris if she could help and he showed her how to mash the potatoes.

Your crepe and your bff's ice cream both sound amazing! I just looked at my ice cream maker today, pondered whether to pack it now or not... still pondering that one.

I think I'll pack it. I have enough to do for now.

Okies, off to plant a couple of things! Trying to make the front garden look presentable at the moment

I just thought about this, while having breakfast this morning, and I'd love to do a poll on it, sometime. How many people tend to have leftovers for breakfast, instead of fixing something else?

I do that for breakfast about twice a week. The rest of the time the leftovers are used for lunch, if there are leftovers OR I will transform the leftovers into something else. For example, thin steak strips will become the meat in my breakfast wrap with egg, cheese, salsa, veggies etc

I'm doing that right now - mashed potatoes in the microwave as we speak!

That all depends on what the leftovers are.

If I have polenta I will likely grill it off and top it with something.

Grilled artichokes or cooked spinach can become a part of a poached egg dish, think Benedict with vegetables instead of ham. I do a egg white scrambles frequently and will incorporate leftover vegetables. Hmm...I see a theme here.

If you mean straight up leftovers that are not deconstructed and re-worked, not usually the norm for me. Though not opposed to the idea. Its a mood thing.

The one caveat is that if I have been drinking the night before, or have otherwise put my body through some physical exertion all bets are off and I may just eat something out of the ordinary for breakfast or make a big breakfast. That can be an "anything goes" situation.

MMM all this food talk.

Yesterday, my wife and I went to a super bowl party, though I probably only watched 15 minutes of the game and just talked and ate the rest of the time.

I made this -- it was a hit, who knew.

1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
4 oz cream cheese (softened, room temp)
1/4 lb (1 stick) butter (softened, room temp)
1 TBS vanilla extract
1.5-2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Place peanut butter, cream cheese, butter and cream (with hand mixer), add vanilla and powdered sugar (increments of 1/2 cup) add till you feel its a good consistency. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Serve either in a bowl or shape into something. I did a football and coated with rest of mini chips.

Serve with pretzels and/or popcorn. It's good. I promise.

SOooooo...

What is everyone eating???

I'm in a salad mood right now--

Herb Salad (mixed greens w/ cilantro, parsley, dill), feta cheese, walnuts, and pear vinaigrette.

It was a long day today! I am in a "don't want to" mood. I stopped into a little local place to get a grilled chicken burger piled with fresh veggies, pineapple, and this really tasty island type hp sauce. Then I treated myself to their handmade sweet potato fries and salt reduced gravy.

Knowing someone who works there helps so I can be given an honest opinion about the nutritional value. It's still not as great as if I made it all myself, but tonight I don't mind.

That salad sounds pretty amazing. It's good salad weather here now. I've planted some radishes and am waiting for them to come up. They are apparently one of the quickest veges from germination to harvest - 30 to 40 days. I also learned that you can eat the greens, and if you let it go to seed it produces pods that you can also eat.

I'm kind of lucky - now that Kris is not working, if I'm in a "don't want to" mood, he's got it covered. Your chicken burger sounds pretty darn good though!

I've been playing around with baking. I'm a great chef but for some reason just never messed with baking. I made some slamming pizza's using a stand mixer, baking stone- then I tried all kinds of toppings- fresh mozzarella (the real kind), fresh herbs, spinach, sausage, mushrooms, roasted peppers, all types.
I made the crust kinda thick and small pizza's. I'm going to make room in my freezer, make some more and freeze them, although I'm thinking fresh is best.

I also made some biscuits and although they came out good, I'm trying various recipes until I get the right one for me. I just love a good biscuit!

I bought all kinds of organic flours and such to start making breads and cookies.
