2018 - Week 7 Cooking Results

Spanish Bake Rice with Chorizo and Chickpeas

Shannon had a stressful day so she wanted B-Bops, so this is delayed.

Sausage, Peppers and Onions Subs

Made this with the other half of the ingredients for it.  It was all right, I could've used better bread.  I used the peppers and onions on several lunch sandwiches this week (on meatloaf, on leftover chicken, etc).

Italian Sausage Pizza

Mozzarella from Lost Lake, Hot Italian Sausage Pizza from Remnant Hills and I used a flour I don't normally use for the pizza.  So the dough had to be adjusted a bit.  it wasn't coming together in the ball like it should, so I added a bit more flour, then more water, then more flour.  Eventually I think I got it about right, but I may have needed to add more yeast.

I used the proofing setting on my new(ish) stove for the first time and it created a nice warm environment for the dough to finish its rise on Saturday.

That being said, it still wasn't quite as elastic as I was expecting, so I wasn't able to stretch it out to the full half sheet pan, but it was still a tasty crust.

Hummus (for Shannon's Work)

So, I ordered an item for my food processor from Cuisinart.  Over a month ago.  Only to have to call to get the indicator that it's back ordered.  There's nothing on the website that states it's back ordered, nothing in my status that says it's back ordered.  I had to call and ask.

When I complained I got a generic apology and told to buy from another website.

So I am able to use my food processor by holding a knife to hold the trigger that allows the blades to spin.

I used smoked paprika in this hummus.  I think it turned out pretty good, after settling a bit.
