It’s my Quote.
Yes, I thought we weren’t supposed to talk about it because one of our members didn’t want to hear about it, and so I didn’t spell it out ……
P e e ? e d.
“Truthfully, I don’t think I have ever
P e ? I e d a potato.”
Ever, in my life.
I have taken the out.
Roasted red peppers, noodles with homemade pesto, eggplant, organic lemon rinds, capers, tomatoes, pork loin, healthy chocolate, raspberries. Wagon Wheel plates from the 1930’s. At a 1900 farmhouse…
My big project this week is to process these cherry tomatoes I harvested from the two plants who volunteered themselves from my compost. They pumped out WAY more than I ever expected and I didn’t even pick them all, and many had split on the vine because I waited too long to harvest. The green ones are starting to ripen inside but I plan to pickle some of them. The ripe ones will become a sauce.
Dairy free chowder (I blitzed the starting veg of mirepoix and potatoes in the stock after tender as the base) with chicken, poblano chiles, sweet corn (from last year’s batch that I had frozen) and black beans. I added some additional chunks of potato also, as well as a handful of red-ripe serrano chiles from my garden and squeezed juice of two limes in. I cooked the chicken stock for this a few days ago from a rotisserie chicken and veg/aromatics, simmered for a few hours - delicious. This has got a kick! But mostly a sweet, smoky flavor from the roasted poblanos and some cumin. So tasty and comforting on this rainy grey autumn day. I have avocado, cilantro, queso fresco and limes for garnish tonight. It feels good to legit be back in the kitchen.
A friend made chili with Hidatsu Red Beans…
A chili with meat and beans
A vegetarian chili which I should have stirred before taking the pic, with a shallot dressing to put on top
I brought spinach and apple salad…
Brownies, I had a very small one
It was all good…
Tonight’s triumph is a freezer sauce heated up and put through fresh Pappardelle pasta as the tagliatelle was missing .
I make this sauce in huge batches to freeze, it’s pork, mushrooms, mirepoix, black truffle, truffle cream and sometimes lentils. Freezes and reheats amazingly well.
