2022 - Week 25 Cooking Results

Baked Blackened Fish Sandwich

So it wasn’t blackened, really, but it was nice a pretty good. I added some Momofuku savory salt int he mix and baked them. We proceeded to eat them on ciabatta buns and it was pretty good. I vaguely followed the recipe.

Chilled Sesame Noodles

I was waiting on a work thing to get finished, but had to consider the timing of being ready for AMS. So I was racing to get this done so we could be ready for a 7 start time. This was quick. Very Quick. I added the sauce together, got the toppings prepped all while the water came to a boil and the noodles, cooked and cooled. We ate, and we then watched The Fifth Element.

Beef & Three-Cheese Noodle Casserole

I added a teaspoon of red pepper flakes, used Mozzarella and added some ricotta, that I had leftover. I may have added more cheese, since my brain conversion failed me, but it still worked.

I really liked the sun-dried tomatoes, after cooking and baking. They added a burst of tomato flavor.

Brats

Good Things.

Chicken Salad

I pulled the chicken off a rotisserie chicken, and then proceeded to make a pretty good chicken salad. A good quick meal as the weather was being hot.

Taco Salad

I had almost forgotten about the Wabi Sabi first CSA pickup, so I ran out right quick to get it and chat with Farmer Ben for a bit. I then when back home and used the mushrooms and arugula immediately. In the taco salad. I don’t normally use mushrooms, so this was a bit different, but not too much.

Elderflower Syrup

It is that time of year again, and I know that my wife loves this, so I make it again. On a note of the, its a bit odd, after I got my haircut, I stopped by the new Fareway Meat Market, to just see what was there. It certainly seems focused around the meat. Like sides, preparation things, but it had a nice variety of things. While I had not actually planned to buy anything, there was some Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic water. So I had to get that, then I got a couple of other things that I wanted to try. and finally got to use a gift card that I had in my wallet for quite a while (I used part of it to buy ice, when we lost power during the 2020 Derecho). So I ended up spending just over 3 dollars past the gift card and came home to make the syrup.
