Elle, forgive my ignorance but I have no idea what I'm looking at Pumpkin and cheese? and... raisins?

My girlfriend's dad has been grumbling lately... Can't buy good cornbread! Nobody has good cornbread! That cornbread was terrible!
Ok! Alright already! I'm making two pepper cornbread Sweet red peppers and Serranos. Smells so good, I won't want to hand it over!

The early lunch was chicken noodle soup. Yummy.

The cake I made yesterday is good too. Very sweet, so a small slice is enough, but the whisky adds a nice flavor to it.

 

[Collar_N_Cuffs]

Lol, pumpkin. Lentils, goats cheese

Oooohhhh... Well now that you say it, it's obvious

Early lunch, seela? Does that mean you are having a late one as well?

It means I'm gonna have dinner too instead of only having lunch today.

I'm actually a little annoyed by this. I agreed to provide cucumber sandwiches for a party tomorrow. I offered to make variations for some variety. I get a text saying someone else is making the cucumber sandwiches and that we'll talk later.

I already purchased the ingredients.

So now I'm thinking of different tea/finger sandwiches that I can make without buying too much more. So far I have curried chicken salad, egg salad, and smoked salmon/cucumber sandwiches. Maybe I should just throw in some plain ham/cheese and turkey/cheese sandwiches for the picky eaters. Hm... Maybe a vegetarian friendly something?

(>_<)

I'm not sure why this happens, but people tend to involve me in planning things last minute and then changing plans on me. I've gotten quite good at meal/party planning on the fly.

Here's the Irish Coffee Cake.

In the original recipe the icing was very thick, not really even icing but like a fluffy cake on top of the regular cake. I made mine thinner, because I didn't want it as sweet. To make sure the cake doesn't turn out dry, because a dry cake is a sad cake, I poured a little bit of the icing mixture on top of the warm cake so that it seeped into the cake. My version might not be as festive as the original version with the high, fluffy icing, but I'm pretty sure mine was at least as tasty.

Moist and yummy, it was well received even among the ones who don't drink whisky.

Spinach and cheese omelette will be my breaky this morning.

That looks delicious!

Yesterday I ate both a burger and chips out ( yum) but also a taste of G's yuzu tart and a piece of candied yuzu. I had never eaten yuzu before and its SO good.

I, too, had a burger and chips (fries!) yesterday from the same stable as Elle's. On second thoughts, I hope that it wasn't from a stable. I almost (but not quite) had a coffee with it as well!

This lunchtime, I've made myself sandwiches from wholemeal seeded bread, with chicken tikka pieces and a dash of mayonnaise. Nom nom nom.

Reheated venison stew, with a few fresh bits added

I made pan fried moose/elk (is there a difference?) liver with caramelized onions, carrot&parsnip puree, rosemary cream sauce and steamed snow peas.

It was the first time I cooked elk liver and I nailed it. It was oh, so good.

Thank you Elle!!
The only kind of marmalade I know it's orange. Is that what I'm supposed to use?

Ages ago I promised endless and collar a plain ginger cake recipe my mother makes.

Here it is, finally!

And I'm still trying to imagine how big a moose liver is. It must be enormous I can handle a bit of foi gras every note and then, but that's about the extent of my liver consumption. I tried chicken livers about a month ago. They were breaded and fried. I even like okra (which I hate) breaded and fried. I thought.. Surely these will be tasty!
Nope. Did NOT care for them.

They were probably over breaded and fried in old oil. Fried chicken livers are one of my favorite foods, but they have to be made like my mom taught me. And you can only have them once a year since they're so bad for you

No, not overly breaded, and not fried in old oil. It was at someones home, not a restaurant Everyone in the family raves over these chicken livers, I'm sure they are good. I just don't like them. I find the flavour too... sharp.

 

[Collar_N_Cuffs]

That was my last restaurant experience--so disappointing. But at least you gave them a try. New things can be fun

I try liver again every few years. It just hasn't happened yet...

Ours wasn't enormous, so I think it must have been from a moose calf. There were huge ones available as well, but since we're just two people and you shouldn't eat moose liver in huge quantities, I took the smallest I could find.

It has a stronger flavor than chicken or cow liver, definitely more gamey. You probably wouldn't like it. I like reindeer liver a lot, but it's difficult to come by this far south.

I also have a heart waiting in the fridge. I've never cooked that either, nor eaten it. I've had cow's heart and that's good, so I'm hoping this will be too. Chicken hearts are good, too.

From the leftover liver I'll make sandwiches for lunch. I'm gonna see how moose works with my go-to, fast food chicken liver recipe.
