2014 - Week 28 Cooking Results

Cream Sauce with Sausage and Peas

So, funny thing.  I bought a bottle of wine (which has been more and more of a rare thing for me, since I've gone down the beer rabbit hole).  I opened the wine for the making of the dish, and didn't notice that this small piece from the lip of the bottle had fallen to the floor.

Quite a bit later, I stepped on this tiny piece of glass with my right foot.  The skin on the bottom of my feet have a very tough skin, so I just thought ti was maybe something like a piece of a gnawed off cat claw or something.  So take my right foot to brush off on the top of my left foot and proceed to cut the hell out of my big toe on my left foot.

I start bleeding quite a bit, so much so I that I had to call Shannon up to help (I didn't want to track blood all over the house).  There were spills and droplets all over the kitchen.  After a bit of cleanup and some wound care (who knew that first aid kit my parents gave me would come in handy?) the blood was no longer coming out rapidly.  And after a little bandage tape to keep the bandage on, the problem was reduced.  I then had quick clean the floor in the kitchen and bathroom, as not to let the cats get the taste for human blood (Loki was curious, Freyja was no where to be found).  After all that, I could finish cooking dinner.

That being said, this may or may not have come out quite right, but it was good.  Nothing like the mixture that I made in the dark the previous week.  Good things.  Admittedly we didn't find out exactly where the glass came from until much later, so we hopefully didn't eat any glass (I ended up pouring out most of the bottle of wine).

Pasta with Chorizo and Chickpeas

This, was fantastic.  This was the favorite thing that I've made with the Crooked Gap + Story City Locker Chorizo.  It really brings out the flavors of the chorizo.  Quite quite good.

Moroccan Chicken Burgers with feta and Carrot Slaw

Delayed!

Grobe Bratwurst (Strudl Haus)

So I've been slowly working down the list of these, and I like the Grobe (so much I brought some home for a dinner).  So yeah, good things.  Though it does look like the cut off part of one so that it came out as exactly a pound.  A bit silly.

Slaughterhouse Burgers

These were pretty good.  A differing formulation of the standard Gateway burger.  I'd have it again, but I really like forming my own for the most part.
