Re: What's for Lunch - Chapter 12

Last night's stew. Damn I was so annoyed last night. I had just gotten the thickness of my stew to the perfect consistancy for "Hawaiian Style" stew or a bit on the watery side so it goes deep in that double scoop of rice.

So my wife comes home and while the stew is finalizing it's thickness (with cornstarch) and I'm relaxing in the living room drinking a Bud, my wife adds a quarter cup of flour to the stew!!!!

I come back to the kitchen and see the flour out on the counter and my heart drops. She says it was too watery. I told her I had just added a thickening agent before relaxing...AND SHE ADDED MORE in the form of pasty flour.

So the stew is a pasty thick substance with the consistancy of thin set mortar compound. I imagine for lunch today I'll have to use a knife to cut up the chunks of stew after an overnight refrigeration.

Re: What's for Lunch - Chapter 12

i took a hint from sandra lee and went semi-homemade:

i sauteed some chopped hot capicolla (procured at the monster safeway) in a pot before dumping in classico's four cheese alfredo sauce. once that was heated through, i added some thai basil and american parsley, which i chiffonade-d. i poured that over some whole wheat macaroni, added some fresh ground pepper...and voila--mac & cheese, earned through a little more effort than using the stuff in the blue box, but scads tastier.

Re: What's for Lunch - Chapter 12

I made a Spanish-style omlette.

I fried cubed potatoes in some of the oil from a canned chorizo (I can them in peanut oil...it makes the oil a beautiful red colour, with a delicious taste of chorzo to it), with an added sliced onion and garlic. I then mixed home-dehydrated powdered green peppers with milk and a dozen eggs and poured it over the cooked potatoes, put a lid on the pan and cooked it til just done, then turned the omlette out onto the pan's lid and slipped it back into the pan to finish off the bottom part.


I would have put chorizo into the omlette, but I used it all up in a paella the other day....but there still is plenty of oil to flavour things with.

We had fresh home-made wholegrain bread and butter, milk to drink, and leftover chocolate easter eggs for after.

(canned chorizo: put a chorizo into a canning jar and top it with olive or peanut oil or melted lard. Put on the lid and give it a boiling water bath for three hours or in a pressure canner for an hour and a half at ten pounds pressure.)

(dehydrated peppers: Dice seeded peppers and spread them out to dry in a dehydrator or in a slow oven with the door ajar. Dry til crisp. Store airtight in pieces, or whir in an electric coffee grinder til powdered. Todd or sprinkle into recipes as is, or rehydrate for a time in cold water.)

Bread ingredients:

One cup of bran, one of oatmeal, one of cooked wheatberries (I use cooked and then dehydrated, then soaked wheatberries). A cup and a half of hot water, half a cup of melted butter, two eggs (or two tablespoons of dried egg powder), four heaping tablespoons of powdered milk, a handful of sugarcubes, a teaspoon of salt. A pound of wholegrain flour, a pound of white flour, two packets of instant yeast.

Dump everything into the bread machine and come back in a few hours.
