Just for the record, in sauces or similar, I always peel the tomatoes. Even cherry tomatoes.

I remember a summer years ago that the big tomato plants just up and died and I was left with only cherry tomatoes.  I peeled sinkfulls of them and canned them.  Ronnie thought I was nuts lol.  I don't think I'd go that far again.  But I'm with you!!  I don't like cherry tomato skins either.

I don't mind cherry tomato skins per se. I just don't want them in sauces. If I'm eating them raw or fried with breakfast, as I often do, I'm happy with the skins.

What to do with a mountain of leftover brown rice?

 

As suggested, freezing would work.

My mom would make fried rice with rice leftovers...use the protein of your choice (my mom would dice up a ham steak...chopped shrimp would be good, as well). She used small-diced celery and diced water chestnuts (canned) to add some crunch to contrast against the soft rice (with chopped green onion, too).

Plus, you could make a rice pudding. With raisins. None of my brothers liked raisins so I always knew when my mom made rice pudding, I would be the only kid eating it so I pretended she made it just for me.:)

Sous vide tri-tip (or in German Bürgermeisterstück), cooked 7h@55 oC and seared in clarified butter. Served with cheesy mashed cauliflower and caramelized courgette with garlic.

@Dante – “chopped cheese sandwich”?  I’m intrigued.  Can you elaborate, please?

 

 

 

 

Chopped Cheese sandwich:  Saute some onions, add a slab of ground meat, let cook on each side until a bit of a crust forms, then chop the meat up and keep it cooking until thoroughly done. Add melty cheese on top (American is acceptable, as is muenster) and let the cheese melt, serve on a sub roll with ketchup and mayo, topped with lettuce and tomato.  Quick, easy, and completely delicious.

Last night was chicken pot pie. Nice gravy from the stock I made Tuesday. (I thought I posted this) apologies if a double post.

Odd in a food pic, 😜. It is oven pliers. I have a side door wall oven and use them mostly for iron and aluminum bakeware. I use my oven broiler as my toaster so they make it easy to pull out the rack and hot pans, plates, soufflé' dish...LINK

I just use tongs for manipulating pans, but I can certainly see how those would give a better grip. Fortunately my drawers could not accommodate even one more kitchen gadget, so I'm safe from temptation (even at that modest price).

Imteresting … what makes the mushrooms sticky ?

If it's the variety of mushrooms - then perhaps they are Slippery Jacks's (just picked a bunch - delish!)

 

Or - more likely; the caramelizing of them with sugars, etc.

@shain  We were also in a pasta mood last night.  Quick and easy; angel hair with hot Italian sausage, onions and peppers, goat cheese and basil.  "Sauce" was white wine and chicken broth reduced with the sausage.

Hmmm...

 

Our first dinner cooked back at home after a short vacay, with everything already in inventory. Started off by browning a couple of hot Italian sausages...

because who doesn't want that fond? Removed the sausage and added a pint of Marcella's tomato sauce from the freezer, scraping up the fond. Sausages added back after the sauce reduced a bit, and the pasta had just started cooking. The vegetable side had already been on the stove for an hour +...

Got about 500g SV tri-tip left over from last night. Thought I broaden the culinary horizon of my family and make a french dip sandwich …

Just the beef & some really good Provolone from the Italian supermarket …

Briefly heated and served with SV stock (augmented by some homemade beef broth, sofregit and fresh herbs) and (commercial) french fries. No complaints 🤗
