2016 - Week 8 Cooking Results

Shepherd's Pie (Cooking for Chris & Holly & Heath)

It was kind of funny.  We're sitting there eating dinner having a quiet conversation.  I start talking about dessert and the bar of chocolate that I brought.  Instantly Heath is up and in the conversation.  So how do you wake up a 3 year old?  Chocolate apparently.  We did give him a sample or two, and he didn't like it (completely understandable).  It was still quite funny.  Anyways The pie turned out really well and was a nice time to catch up with Chirs & Holly before they are in the wading through the needs of baby #2.

The Pie itself, I may have added a bit to much thyme, which I counteracted a bit with pepper, which seemed to work.  I did diverge from the recipe by using dried instead of fresh and didn't have rosemary.  Good stuffs overall.

Chorizo and Black Beans Tacos (have shells left)

Good as always.  Starting off the week of pork goodness.

Pork Burgers

Om nom nom nom.

Sichuanese Chopped Celery With Beef (p138 Lucky Peach Presents 101 Easy Asian Recipes)

That's a lot of celery.  But since celery can be quite good, it made for a delicious meal.  I did have problems finding one of the ingredients, but ended up using something that had that ingredient in it.

Com Tam Breakfast (p68 Lucky Peach Presents 101 Easy Asian Recipes)

Simple to put together and make.  Quick and good.  This cookbook is proving to be quite good.

One-Pot Baked Ziti with Sausage and Spinach

Quicker then I thought.  I did miss the step to chop the spinach, but it still worked.  I was only sad that Shannon grabbed the last leftover dish before I did.

Spicy Carrot Sandwiches

Good as always.
