2015 - Week 7 Cooking Results
Going a little bit early, because we may be doing something tomorrow (depending on the weather).
Pork Burgers
I looked for the pork, I really did, but I couldn't find it. And there was some local ground beef, sitting right there in the front of the freezer. So I spiced it a bit, made little patties to go with the mini-ciabatta buns I bought and we had burgers.
I had a nice combination of Pleasant Ridge Reserve (yes seriously), some local sour kraut and some spicy mustard on mine. Good stuffs.
Pizza (tonight, delayed from last week)
Good as always. I used a combination of cheeses including Cabra Blanca (goats milk based). This is the cheese I was trying to remember for the longest time cause I forgot what I was using to make a non-cow based pizza (Friends' children issue). That at least gets me partially back to the point I need.
Because of the coolness that day, and the lateness that I took out the pizza dough I put it on the barely warm oven to do it's final growth stage. It still had troubles getting out to the edges of the pan, but even so.
Chicken Tikka Masala
Wasn't feeling up to making this or eating it, so I used some of the same ingredients to make a vegetarian pasta. Little bit of diced tomatoes, tomato puree, some paste, a mixture of dried spices on hand, over some sautéed onion. A bit of rigatoni and to top it off with some parmigiano reggiano. Turned out very well.
Tex-Mex Chicken and Rice
This did not seem as salty as the last time I made it. Maybe last time I crushed the fritos first, before I measured it, and this time I did it after. Anyways, quick, easy, pretty good.
Farmhouse Chicken Chowder
This was quite good. Easy to make, and tasted quite good. I only wish we had more leftovers.
