If I like it, next time I will make it with Beyond Meat. Or maybe we'll be let out of our cages onto the pickleball court, and I'll never make it again.
What have you made while stuck inside (my golf buddies flew the coop back to Canada). Something new? Something you made up (looking at you, Tomwed!)? Something you've made before but didn't have the time till now...?
I'd enjoy hearing about it.  |
my wife and I both enjoy cooking and it's been a hobby of ours for years (there was a time that we'd take cooking classes at culinary colleges on the weekends)....
we routinely create a two week menu...which makes shopping easier....so here's what we've been up do:
a week ago my home made Limoncello matured after 80 days...that's now bottled
last Friday we made Choppino (Italian fish stew...8 types of fish)
Saturday we made Chicken Fajitas
Sunday we made Pasta e Fagioli
Today we made Tiramisu...and we're having Pasta Puttanesca for dinner
Tuesday is Porchetta (Italian roast pork with fennel) and baked carrots in ricotta
on Thursday we'll cut up about 20 lbs of pork butt add our ingredients, let is sit 24 hours in the fridge and make sausages on Friday
sometime this week I'm going to make Welsh Rarebit for the first time
next week we're actually making Chateaubriand for the first time...we'll cheat on how we make the demi-glace though and save about 8 hours by using ready made beef stock in the demi-glace recipe
later next week we're making a lamb and okra stew, another night Vongole Bianco (clams and pasta), and bourbon short ribs on another
we don't make an involved meal every day and often there's enough left over for a second meal....and some days it's just one of our many home made soups and a grilled cheese sandwich.
