  1. For the first time that I can remember Corned Beef is still available after the holiday.  In the past, when the day was over all the CB was gone until the next year.  I wanted a flat cut but that was sold out before the 17th so had to to do with a point cut.  Now they have more of the flat.  (No longer on sale though.)

  2. Last night's dinner was Ham and Bean Soup made in the crockpot, along with some homemade bread.

    Perfect meal for a chilly and wet spring evening.

    Happy to oblige 🤗

     

    So, 14d home-cured corned beef (with curing salt, sugar, quatre epice, garlic and pepper), braised in wheat beer for 6h at 120 oC in the oven …

    Wow!  That's some beautiful corned beef (and everything else).

    I was another who had a mother who didn't like help in the kitchen, so if I ever learned anything about cooking from her, it was merely by observing from afar. I married at 18 and my poor ex-husband suffered through a few horrid meals (Hamburger Helper!!!) before someone gifted me a BH&G cookbook. And thankfully, we lived near enough to both families to go home for plenty of meals often. 

    The BHG cookbooks were a godsend for me, basically teaching me how to cook as a beginner.

  5. I wanted nothing to do with anything happening in the kitchen as I grew up and my mother allowed it, only making me set the table or peel potatoes and, of course, wash the dishes.

    As a result, I knew nothing when I moved into my first apartment.

    I remember calling my friend's mom to ask how to make mashed potatoes.

    That was for the first meal I ever made to go with a meatloaf.  I'm sure it was dreadful but it made me proud.  After that I ready to learn.

    I'm really far behind posting--not that anyone is dying to see what I eat every night 🤣.  My MacBook is SO old and I'm having keyboard problems along with other stuff.  I have a brand new one sitting beside me.  In it's box.  I'm not looking forward to setting up a new one after all of these years.  UGH.  Anyway, on to the food:

     

    Venison cheeseburger pizza and salad

    Ronnie came home with another cheap rotiss. chicken so I was looking for something new and exciting to do lol.  Came across buffalo chicken "pizza".  Base of blue cheese dressing.  Topped with chicken mixed with melted butter and Frank's Hot Wing Sauce, crumbled blue cheese, mozz. cheese and green onions.  I told Ronnie not to think of it as pizza.....he seemed to like it.  I bet he doesn't ask for it again though lol.

    I have an unreasonable dislike of the word "smoothie". I'm fine with a "shake" or "blended drink" but for some reason "smoothie" sounds ridiculous, demeaning, childish and loathsome. Would I refuse one if offered? No, but I'd never ask for one. 

     

    And yes, I know it's ridiculous of me but the very word turns me right off. Is that the sort of thing you mean?

    Seems like it would be more appropriate to call it a 'roughie' since it translates into roughage.

  8. I made Calrose rice yesterday for a Mexican style casserole.

    This morning I had some of the rice for breakfast with just the addition of Melinda's Peri Peri sauce.  Good.

    I have the Taskmasters, the Tojiro shears, and the MAC shears and snips. They're all a bit different. I like the Taskmasters as general use packaging scissors and use the others on (mostly) food. Not that the Taskmasters aren't well suited toward cutting food, but just that they've become the everyday scissors in my kitchen and so often have tape goop or other household dirt on them. 

     

    There are two or three other kinds of shears that I'd like to try but I already have too many.

    Visitors to my kitchen have noticed that I have a pair of shears in every drawer.

    You just can't have too many these days when every products requires slashing to open.

  10. Last night's dinner waws Vegetable Beef Soup, a winter time favorite.

    Packed with every vegetable I could think of.  Potato, carrot, fennel, cabbage, celery, tomato, beef broth, onion and, of course, the beer; I used a small chuck eye steak.

    Lots of herbs.

    Speaking of herbs, lately I've been using these.

    Fresh herbs are so fragile and short lived.

    These Lighthouse herbs are great.
