2021 - Week 25 Cooking Results

I did not feel that inspired to cook anything this week, at least planning wise, so a bunch of easy things on the docket, completed without much effort or thought. I have still be beating myself and dwelling on Freyja. I am not spiraling, like I sometimes do. But it it is not great. Today, Saturday, I still talked about her in the present tense, but I also talked about her in the past tense.

I started a new batch of elderflower syrup, though it’ll be much weaker in the floral notes as I’m using 30 grams of flowers, as opposed to last year where I used ~90 grams.

~30 grams of elderflowers

Ham, egg and English muffin

Fried ham (gift from work), eggs (I kind of messed these up, didn’t use enough oil in the regular pan), cheese and a toasted English muffin. Good things.

Salad with chicken

Baked off some chicken thighs, put them in the fridge to cool them down a bit then chopped them up for some local greens, topped with some not so local things.

Brats

Good to eat.

Tuna with soy sauce

Yellowfin tuna, marinated for about 5 minutes in some soy sauce, seared, and served with salad.

Veggie Pot Pies

These are from Domestic Bones, they were quite good. It looks like they have some other things, both at the coop and apparently for end of the month delivery at Peace Tree, with some other flavors of hand pies. I do still love me some hand pies form Tami’s tarts, though.
