2014 - Week 18 Cooking Results

Spaghetti and Italian Sausage (from last week)

Some stuff from the cupboard (tomato sauce, paste), some stuff from the box (onions), some from the drawers (dried herbs, spices) and boom, pasta!

Smoked Lamb

We had a second hunk of lamb that Joseph smoked for us last week and had smoked lamb sandwiches.  Nothing is like lamb.  And these were pretty good.

Egg Salad

So one of the things around that around this time of year, seems like something that should happen.  So I boiled up some eggs and a couple of days later, made a nice simple egg salad.  It was eggs, onions, mayo, deli mustard and a touch of sambal oelek.  Good stuffs.

Ham & Peas & Mac & Cheese

So I added so much ham and peas that it loaded up into another pan.  This was kind of sort of based on Alton Brown's Baked Mac and Cheese.  I did end up using Andeer Traum, a bit of Vella Dry Jack, some Vacherin Fribourgeois Crepi and some Parmigiano Reggiano.  Does that sound excessive?  Well it was a bit, but still quite a fine combination, savory and delicious.  Also my cheese selection is mostly gone, so we're better off and not being wasteful. 

Ham, Scrambled Eggs and Onion

This turned into ham and eggs on a ciabatta bun.  I still kind of want to do this, but you know sometimes you get requests.

Ham (Steaked) and Mashed Potatoes (with Chives)
