What's cookin', good lookin'?

[seela]

Beet soup with Österkron cheese
Roasted moose shoulder with carrot puree and sauteed kale and penny buns, gravy
Bilberry kissel with home made vanilla ice cream


Ok, the vegetarian thing only lasted for 6 days instead of a whole week, but I just didn't come up with anything festive, vegetarian and Finnish for main and we have to eat the moose.

This morning? Fried egg, toast and garnished with parsley and peppercorns. Delicious.

Turkey, cornbread dressing from scratch, mashed potatoes with roasted garlic, sweet potato pecan casserole, green bean casserole, fresh cranberry jam, gravy, peas, freshly baked whole wheat bread and chocolate pecan pie. And champagne

We cooked a small turkey, only 11 pounds. The flavour wasn't as I am accustomed to. It was very mild. Nothing wrong with it - beautifully tender, juicy and delicious, it just wasn't... turkey punchy. Next year we have agreed to get a larger turkey for the stronger flavour.

Yes, it's Thanksgiving and a half for me

That's just it. It's not complicated in the least! As a matter is fact, it takes a lot of hassle out of cooking. Set the temp where you want it, and the steak can really stay in there kind of indefinitely. I left it in there about an hour, but if it stayed in an hour and a half that would be fine as well. And you would still end up with a perfectly cooked, medium rare steak. Try that, cooking by any other method!

I admit that I rolled my eyes when my husband got his sous vide and thought that it would be one of those rarely used appliances that ultimately have to leave after not having been used for over a year.
We use it a lot though, for everyday things like chicken breasts that don't get dry, ready to end up in a salad or with grill stripes on toast with guacamole etc.

It's fricken cold today. So, baking a butternut squash dusted with some ground cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and brown sugar, some carrots in habanero honey, ghost pepper salt, and smoked paprika, and a few sweet potatoes to blend together later with some heavy cream for a sweet and spicy harvest soup to put into bread bowls.

Here is the sous vide I have and love:

Today I made phô for lunch with left over steak, jalapeno slices, noodles, broth, sprouts, Thai basil and fresh lemon wedges. So nom!

 

[Primalex]

Hm.

The concept of cooking something in a plastic bag just irks me.

Collar.

You are a GENIUS.

I have been testing little batches of dog cookie dough, and the true brilliance is that girl dog, who has tumeric in her ration but is not that keen on it on her food, LOVES it in a cookie dough!

So i've made batch for her and my friends dog, that has some extra stuff in it for joints and stuff. Dog herbal cookies in the shape of christmas angels! And the other dogs, who are all smaller, have littler snowflakes, unadulterated with nutraceuticals etc.

All because of a christmass cookie idea! Thank you!

Awwww..
Hooray! I'm glad it worked out!!

I happened to come across fresh undried garlic, a real rarity here. I love garlic.

So it's sopa de ajo time this weekend (can't be bothered to cook today, I'm exhausted).

 

[Ahlam]

Oh mercy...that sounds wonderful.

 

[Collar_N_Cuffs]

Wow, I can't imagine fresh garlic being scarce.. It's a supermarket staple here all year long. I keep a lot on hand, because every time I use the grill I roast a head of garlic with the residual heat.

Tonight I am cutting up a chicken and oven "frying" it.

 

[La damnee elle la licorne]

 

[jezzilee]

I need to make lunch. I have no idea what I want...probably go with eggs. Again.

 

[Ahlam]

I grow garlic in my garden, stuff the bulbs into clean panty hose, and hang them in my cellar. No shortage all winter long. It stores well.

 

[Penuche]

Keema korma soup

They only stock the dried papery version regularly here. This kind of garlic is rare.

That's unfortunate. Garlic is so very yummy. Is there no way to order it? Do you have paste available? I'm a fan of garlic paste. It could never replace fresh garlic, but it's very convenient.

 

[Collar_N_Cuffs]

I go all in for the paste stuff now as well. I used to be a snob about it, but now I have garlic, tomato and cilantro paste at all times. As Meeks says, it can't replace the real thing, but it's good in soups and stuff.

I use it for curries, spread it on toast, add it to pasta, and all kinds of dishes. It's so good. (=￣ ρ￣=)

i'm not sure if you've seen them, but the little frozen cubes are amazing as well. 1 cube = 1 clove, which is delightful. they can be hard to find, so when i see them i stock up!

I have never seen these, will keep my eyes open. Thanks!

This is what happens when I'm restless. I start taking in calories instead of burning them.

I prefer burning them...
