2023 - Week 18 Cooking Results

The market started up again, and I got up and went and I was a bit, tired, but after I got a bit of cold brew in me, I was much happier to be there. There is a whole not of new people with a chance this year, some struggling to get things picked up. I got some ramps, some fresh salad greens, Bangers and some cheese. Certainly less than I would’ve normally done, but I was still generally happy by the end. I was reminded by my watch I had forgotten to take my medication, so I came home, took my medication and napped off and on for the next two hours.

Sausage

The rest of those Lucky George brats. Still good.

Grilled Blackened-Fish Sandwiches

I made this in the oven, there was a little smoke, but not too much. It generally worked out.

Teriyaki Chicken Burger

Normally I would make adaptations to make a larger burger, as that is what we are generally used to, however in this case I followed closer to the whole thing. It was challenging as we had someone in the house doing a bit of a repair, and they ran a bit behind. It was really nice with the sauce, cabbage and all that. Good things.

Shrimp and Red Pepper Quesadillas

I used a bit more shrimp, the spicy old bay (I could get a giant thing of old bay as they were all out of all other volumes, and was not interested in that much). This worked out pretty well, I finished up one jar of roasted red peppers and started the next one. I skipped the lime zest but added a bit more lime juice. Good things.

Baked Mac and Cheese

I few weeks ago I had started having that craving of mac and cheese and peas and tuna. I thought it might go away, but it did not. I also was thinking of using the sodium citrate that I bought a bit ago for the splendid table partnership with Sierra Nevada that caught my fancy. So there we were, using a bit of the sodium citrate. Would it have been better with a bit of milk or cream instead of the water, even so, it fixed that need. I used about a pound of peas and a bit of tuna. Should I have used the powdered cheese in a normal mac and cheese box? Maybe, but if I can use wonderful cheese, I’ll do that. We both ate leftovers for days.
