    Remembering Anna N

    It is so sad to hear. Anna was truly an amazing person, clever, funny, talented. It was a pleasure knowing her, joking about our opposite food opinions, and admiring the delicious food she made. I will forever remember her fondly.

    Dinner 2023

    Lupini beans in a slightly sweet curry with plenty of coriander seeds and tamarind, cashew. Okra in yogurt sauce with turmeric, garlic and hing. Black pepper rice. Not pictured - home made mango chutney.
  4. I would say that for me, mac and cheese indeed implies a shape of pasta, but much more, it implies a specific kind of cheese sauce - one made of a somewhat sharp cheese such as cheddar, is on the rich side, and often made with a roux base. It is likely so because "mac and cheese" is a term I'll use untranslated to Hebrew, and so is distinct to me from just any pasta with cheese. Think of "shrimp scampi" which makes little sense to an Italian speaker, but perfect sense to Americans.
  5. The nuts are toasted. I chopped everything medium fine. You could also do a rough chop. I liked how they are all shiny off white outside and marbled brown inside. Do try, nuts are great in meringue. I also added a touch of almond extract. There are also cookies combining meringue and shortbread popular in Israel. E.g. https://www.onesarcasticbaker.com/butter-meringue-cookies/ (haven't tried this recipe).
  6. Ugly but tasty meringue cookies with hazelnuts, almonds and dark chocolate.
  7. Mac and cheese with Gochujang and peanuts.

    That's a treasure there. Never waste beans or chickpea cooking water, they are like a good stock.

    I love pasta with ricotta, and I love ricotta with roasted peppers. So I love your dish twice.

    I love cooked kombu. But it's really expensive here
  19. As far as I understand, the resting allows the gluten to relax and form stronger bonds. It's as if the kneading puta the gluten chains in place and resting allows them to strengthen. This dough is overall pretty forgiving. One important things are overnight refrigeration (between kneading and proofing), which also substitute for the initial rise. Can you get the container out of the machine to be placed in the fridge? Another is that you need the kneading process to be slow enough for the starch to absorb water while it's going - I think the 23 minute rest at the beginning of your "regular" mode should work, assuming the dough is first mixed well. You could also try and run the quick mode kneading cycle twice.

    It's a silicone cake mold, just not filled to the top. I no longer to make frittatas in a frying pan, they too often get stuck. I mix everything directly inside the silicone mold. I then bake in a medium oven, until it seems set. Sometimes I use a silicone muffin pan, it's also quite fun.

    Dinner 2023

    Roasted potatoes inspired by poutine with mushroom gravy and squeaky Tzfat cheese. Beets and goat cheese from a double batch which I froze last week and baked now. Alla puttanesca. The pecorino in the freezer called to me, so for some reason I added to against my usual best judgment, so it was a bit salty... I'll stick to olive oil next time. Still tasty. Frittata with smoked motz, spinach and mushrooms. A very good combo. Yorkies with above mentioned gravy.
  22. Cinnamon rolls. One half of the pan are cinnamon and brown sugar and a bit of nutmeg. The other half is cardamom and cinnamon. Sour cream dressing on the side.
