2014 - Week 42 Cooking Results

Bangers (Lucky George Farm) and Mash

So in eating this I thought about making some of the oft suggested red onion gravy, but it turned out that I didn't really want to put that much more time into it.  However I did ad some dijon and spicy mustard as some of the recipes called for in the mashed potatoes.  To give it some of the tartness I used some of my bit over yogurt (just starting to sour).  All and all, really good mashed potatoes topped with sausages.

Now I have no idea if these were appropriately spiced bangers, but since they're also done by Story City Locker, I assume so, since they do good things there.

Good stuffs, and I bought some more.

Pumpkin Pancakes

I only vaguely followed this recipe, I added a bit more pumpkin then it called for.  They made for some pretty good pancakes.

Pumpkin Mac & Cheese (bechamel + pumpkin puree + Prairie Breeze)

Turned out great.  I used the rest of the quart bag of pumpkin Puree.  Stirred in the pasta to the bechamel and the pumpkin into that.  I put it into the oven for a bit to warm anything back up and maybe caramelize the top a bit.  Good stuffs.

Chickpea, Pumpkin and Sage Stew

So this was pretty good the first time around.  Nice and warming on a chilly fall day.  But the more it sat around (for leftovers) the more the noodles absorbed the soup liquid and the more it turned into a casserole.  It was pretty much all casserole by the time I had the last batch of leftovers.

Bacon and Scallion Farrotto

Tasty, the first Sunday dinner in a while with Joseph attending.  He has a bit more free time now.  I'm still not sure how I feel about this whole thing.  Anyways, good stuff.

Brats (La Ventosa)

Good stuffs!
