Grilled Cheese and Pepper Jelly based on this
So the cheese they wanted to use wasn't really available, so I I ended up using some Red Hawk from Cowgirl Creamery. May not be as funky as the author wanted, but should be good enough. I also supplemented with another cheese that I can't remember right now. Anyways, it ended up being pretty good and if you see that bread? Amazing on the color and taste. Pretty happy with out this turned out and will do it again. Since I have the cheese, probably next week.
Armenian Beef Flatbreads with Garlicky Yogurt
I had my doubts. Basically a tiny amount of beef and a bunch of spices and etc. But this was really good. On the extra benefit, I found the first sighting of Templeton Red from Peace Tree (since I happened to run out to whole foods to get the sour dough / flat breads (flat bread selection sucks), this is because GWM is in this grey territory for me). Anyways the flatbread combined with the yogurt and some pickled vegetables (ok, just hot yellow peppers) made for a quite good meal.
BA's Best Mac & Cheese
I've made a lot of mac and cheese, and use a lot of combinations of cheeses. Was this the best? No, not really, but it was pretty good. I got a nice combination out of the Cheese Mix (Prairie Breeze, Kinsman Ridge, and Emmentaler) and it pretty much follows what I've been doing for a while, baked and etc. I think the real key, which I haven't done, but could, is to put the cheese pasta mixture into a heat cast iron pan. Anyways, pretty good, not that much different then what I do normally (Based on the Alton Brown recipe)
Garlic Roasted Cod with Mashed Potato Crust
I have cod, need to use the cod, but don't particularly want to do fish and chips. Not that I don't like fish and chips, it's that I don't particularly like dealing leftover oil. Anyways this was pretty easy to do. Make mashed potatoes, put garlic and salt and fish under mashed potatoes, bake. Pretty good.
Ham and Bean Soup
Started on Friday (Soaking beans), started in earnest around 2:PM, then was ready around 5. Pretty good soup. Simple, good flavors. Combined with some good bread (La Mie), a salad (Holly) and pineapple (Holly). Good date night dinner w/ the Hettingers.
Skillet Sausage and Peppers
Quick Sunday dinner. Good stuffs.
