Baked Ziti with Sausage

I added red pepper flakes, and a bit more Parmesan than called for. Easy to do, but came together well.

Jambalaya

With the recent events that mad me think of New Orleans, and this looked pretty good, and I also bought a few packages of andouille sausage from Crooked Gap. The instructions were pretty clear, but as I was using basmati rice, I let it simmer for a bit more time then called for, since I didn’t want to have a an experience like a bit before where the rice ended up being crunchy. So with that adjustment it came out pretty good. Should it have tomatoes? or Be more spicy? all of these things are worth a debate, but this was sure a good base recipe.

Ground Beef Stroganoff

I am not quite sure I was in the mood for it, but I was, so I made it. It was pretty good.

Bangers, mash and onion gravy

I appear to be out of bangers, much to my dismay. I did end up using apple bratwurst. I am sad I messed up the onion gravy, more specifically, I messed up the onions. I either let them go for too long, or had them a bit to hot and the gravy didn’t recover the flavor. I was disappointed in myself, the rest was fine though.

Brats

Good as always.
