Cheese Brats, Crooked Gap, Good things.

Pizza with Crooked Gap Pepperoni

My house is not warm enough. To get a proper rise, the house needs to be warmer. Since I keep the house around 67°, this makes it a bit of a problem. The rise on the dough wasn’t enough.

I liked the pepperoni, though.

Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken

The grocery store that I go to has been re-arranging their store. It took me extra time to find the cream that I like. I get, at some point, that this is the point overall, but I like knowing where things are and being able to just find the brands I like for the staples. I still will walk through the store, most visits.

I followed the recipe pretty closely, I started off with the chicken and cut it precisely, and while I am ok with knives, I slowed down to make the breasts, which I don’t generally use, cut evenly. Seared these off, and let them finish. The sauce came together well and then had the water boiling by the time it was ready to go. We ate, watched the oscars. It was a good evening.

Tangy Chili Pork Noodles

I had to use a pack of another noodle as the spicy soy only had 2 left. I had to make some adaptations as the pork I took out of the freezer had not thawed yet. so I didn’t get as much of a sear that I wanted on the pork. Even so, easy to bring together, good to eat.

Shepherds Pie

This isn’t the first, second or third time I’ve made this. It’s always nice. I thought about making it yesterday, but when it comes down to it, it takes a bit more time then I would normally like for a dinner where we’ve worked all day. Today, I cleaned the kitchen, re-organized my spice drawer, caught up on bills, menu planned. Then after all that I made dinner. The grocery store didn’t have ground lamb, I ran out of ground lamb from local farmers and wouldn’t have a chance to get more by then. They did have hunks of lamb, so I got those and divided them up into similar sized pieces. It was a nice way to listen to podcasts and make food. Good dinner, nice way to close out the week.
