2015 - Week 21 Cooking Results

 

Ham & Chevre or Quark & Peas & Spring Onions over whole grain pasta (per conversation with Story City locker)

So I picked up some plain Love Ewe (Reichert's Dairy) to go in here.  So i started off with the spring onions, sautéed it up and gave it them a bit of color, then the ham and some peas.  Combined in the pasta then the Love Ewe and sprinkled some Parmigiano Reggiano.  I could've used a little less stuff or a little more Love Ewe, so I'll have to remember that for the next time around.  The leftovers the you could definitely taste the sheep cheese, but even so, it should've stood out a bit more on the initial serving.

Ham Loaf with Chive Blossom Mashed Potatoes

Took several hunks of ham, got to that purred and added to the mixture.   Good combination of ingredients.  So for the salad, we had a bed of young spinach from Grade A Gardens, topped with some chive blossoms (side yard), Chive Blossom 50/50 Feta (Reichert's Dairy).  Then the mashed potatoes it was a combination of Chive Blossom Love Ewe (Reichert's Dairy), butter, cream and chive blossoms, and potatoes.  Then the ham loaf.  All parts were good apart (should've added a bit more fat to the mashed potatoes...and salt) and it really came together to be a meal.  So this was my Friday:  Lawn Mowing, bill paying, a couple of errands, then making dinner (not saying there wasn't a bunch of downtime in there).

Ham and Gruyere Breakfast Sandwiches (Wild Yeast Bakery DSM, sourdough)

Simple, good.

Rhode Island Dynamites (Wild Yeast Bakery DSM, experimental Hot Dog buns)

For these, I should've halved the recipe.  Also I should've added more of the spicy elements to bring it up in heat a bit.  Still pretty good, but could've been better.

Thuringian Sausage (Lucky George Farm) Sandwiches

I uh...forgot to even take these out of the freezer, so, next week!
