Chaos in the Kitchen - what to eat and drink

[sallysparrow23]

And you're sharing the recipe as is the intention here, right?

I'm happy to! I will confess though that I cheat with my soup purees and use a soup cooking blender that heats and purees at once.

Ingredients are:

2.5 cups (1 medium zucchini), chopped into 3/4 inch pieces
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 celery chopped into 3/4 inch pieces (I just chopped 2 medium size stalks)
3 cups vegetable broth
1 tsp oregano

I really want to try making sourdough bread from scratch but haven't attempted making a starter for the dough. I found a website that gives instructions for the starter and think this is going to be a project for the next few weeks. I love baking bread.

I made this broccoli soup recipe tonight and it was so tasty!

I finally got my sourdough starter started today. I have to "feed" it every day for about a week until it activates, which I believe that means it's ready to use then. I'm still learning.

I've never made sourdough. It kind of intimidates me. I'm excited to hear how it goes!!!

Same! I've been following a Facebook group for sourdough to figure things out. I'm learning the lingo. We'll see how it goes!

Sourdough update: I'm on day 5 of my starter and I'm following a YouTube video day by day with this lady:

It's been easy so far and mine is coming along as it should! I'm hoping it will be active soon so I can start baking bread.

Sourdough update!

My starter is active and really to use to bake. I decided to feed it today and used the discard to make these delicious sourdough crackers.

Never made sourdough but I like making Sour beers. Same bacteria so theres that you know.

I tried making beer a few years ago. It tasted okay but was flat, no carbonation at all. Can’t remember how much the kit and space at the you-brew cost but it was the most expensive case of beer I ever had.

I was just thinking the same last night! Making a big pot of cream of chicken and wild rice might be on the weekend agenda.

My go to is kielbasa and kale, but for Saturday I’m thinking either Cuban black bean or a hearty chicken with dumplings.

Here’s a chowder I did for a competition last month. Came in 4th place. I neglected to include bacon, which would have elevated me into the top three, I believe View attachment 2292909

I made my usual holiday chili last weekend. I forgot I didn't have any of the chili mix I prefer, so I rigged up a spice blend quickly: Southwestern Dust, Mexican seasoning, and a mildly hot Ethiopian spice blend I had on hand. Plus the usual tablespoon of salt. Turned out very well. I was surprised.

@sallysparrow23 did you tweak the recipes at all or make them straight as described? I want to make sure I record them appropriately.

This was far too delicious not to share, and was my first attempt at making a cheesecake.

Squash soup topped with roasted peanuts and a pinch of lime zest. Contrasts nicely with the pinch of cayenne in the soup!
