you are again correct as usual.

 

this is one of my very favorite ' toppings '  for  pasta in the shape of bowties  or

 

Campanelle  .

 

I also like the idea that you didnt crips up the bacon , and its texture more matches the peas.

 

try this on your favorite pasta shape some time.

 

and WoW !

Still cooking just for ME.   (Last night I had a soup-plate of oatmeal liberally doused with heavy cream, salt and cracked pepper, and a mug of chicken bouillon.  Divine!)  

 

Garlicky green scramble with La Tur cheese chunks.    Blistered shishitos.     Happy  ME.

Perfectly decent Pork & Beef Bolognese Sauce, made somewhat crap with an emersion blender treatment for he with worn out jaw. 

Son's dinner pictured - Captain Clicks just had the meat sauce.

Repurposed by request 24 hours later because someone (who I would NEVER accuse of not being committed to recovery) 'Misses Crunch' ... after maybe 36 hours 😅🤦‍♀️

I keep seeing these things called Burger Bombs on blogs etc. lately so I decided to finally look at the recipes and see what it is.  Turns out it's like a bierock only the dough isn't sweet and it's like a bacon cheeseburger inside.  I felt the need to make these although I did tinker with the recipe a bit.

 

First I made a batch of @cyalexa's hamburger/hotdog dough (discovered my digital scale bit the dust and I have no back up--I like to weigh my bread ingredients and I couldn't)  and got that rising.  The recipes that I saw used refrigerated biscuit dough.  That would be good, too, I just didn't have any.

 

Then, I chopped up some onion and bacon and cooked that for a bit.  Then added a pound of venison burger, Lawry's salt, pepper and garlic and let that cook up.  Then a good dollop of cream cheese got plopped in and stirred until melted.  Next a few squirts of mustard, ketchup, a bit of worcestershire sauce and a TB or so of BBQ sauce were stirred in. Last I added some chopped up pickles.  Thought that would be good.   Let that all cool off.

 

Next roll out the dough into a rectangle and cut squares out.  Place some meat and sharp cheddar slices on and wrap it it up.

I brushed with egg white and sprinkled Everything Bagel seasoning on top.  Baked in the CSO on the bread setting at 375F for 22-25 mins.

We think more onions and an addition of mushrooms would be good.  Also more cheese.  But it was a fun new recipe to try :)

Looks good. I sometimes wrap cooked and cold burgers and cheese in puff pastry.

I used a plain cooking onion. I don’t see any reason to try to tame onions that will be cooked. The heat will sweeten them up.

I agree. Using a red onion for example adds zero if cooked and it is generally more expensive.

It is late for lunch yet early for dinner.  But whatever I call it it will be my main meal for the day.

"" Using a red onion for example adds zero "

 

it adds ' redness '  a natural pigment.

 

which might be Zero

 

or not. vegetable pigments are something to 

 

consider.  not so much , of course 

 

the Green in unripened Bell Peppers

 

such as GBP's.

 

no onion ever broke anyones bank

 

that being said 

 

i don't use a lot of onion

 

and keep the " Reds "  in the refrigerator

 

after partial use.

 

I think they are not Amused

 

and become  a bit Stong.

 

those I then use after a Fresh Cold Water bath

 

and it tames them

 

for me.

Last night was sous vide bison sirloin steaks. Done perfectly; unfortunately, the meat was tough.Bought these on sale at Safeway.  I seared the meat on the Starfrite grill pan, along with mushrooms and tofu.

Tonight, I made a Weight Watcher's recipe: Duck in Plum and Red Wine Sauce.I really wanted the seared duck breast that AnnaN posted, but...
This was a whole duck I had in the freezer and needed to be used. Cut off the breasts, the fat, and seared them in a hot pan with  sprayed with Pam. Then they were roasted in a 400F oven for 10 minutes. The sauce was sauteed shallots, red wine, chicken stock, star anise,  and thinly sliced plums. We really enjoyed the duck, with crispy potatoes from the air fryer, and steam vegetables. Total meal was 8 Smartpoints per serving. The rest of the duck I roasted and drained the fat into a jar.

@liamsaunt, delicious looking! I had you in mind when I made my Catfish coconut soup a few weeks ago (and you are a much better photographer 🙃). I put the coconut milk into the soup more than an hour before the soup was done; it was rich, and creamy. By the time the soup was done, the intense creaminess was gone. I've read plenty of recipes which call for putting in the coconut milk at the beginning of the long cooking time. Are these recipe writers all wrong, or is it not the creaminess which the recipe-writer is after?
