What I've made:
Well I Guess We Can Try To Make Fried Rice
Opps I don't have 7 cups of flour (WTF?) rolls
I wonder what happens if soup...
Croutons
The "Well I Guess We Can try To Make Fried Rice" was made with Luke. We didn't want to leave the apartment (I wonder why...) and this is what I had in my apartment:
1/2 cup Jasmine Rice
Red Lentils
Onion
Garlic
Potato
Frank's Red Hot Sauce
Apple Cider Vinegar
Ground meats
Eggs
We cooked the rice and lentils together. Sauteed the potato, garlic and onions together in olive oil with salt and pepper. Mixed in the lentils and rice. Combined the hot sauce and vinegar. Added two eggs one at a time to the rice and veggies. Mixed in the hot sauce. And this might now be one of Luke's favorite dishes. Best part? Fried rice that is sauce free!
The "Opps I don't have 7 cups of flour (WTF?) rolls" started with me going I want bread. Now I can't just buy bread because of the soy (not that I've been at all good with that lately...) but I try to keep yeast and flour in my apartment. So I pulled out my old Betty Crocker (the one from lovely Gwen which my mom says is the same one Grandma had) and decided to make some. I got most of the way through it, you know the point where you don't want to leave to go to the store? That's when I released the recipe called for SEVEN AND A HALF FREAKIN CUPS OF FLOUR! I had about 3. So I decided to substitute old fashion oats. I end up with very dense (the yeast didn't rise), tasty oatmeal bread rolls. So dense I couldn't eat them.
The "I wonder what happens if soup..." was me going well I don't want to go grocery shopping and I watching this
I had to cook. I also had two jars from banana peppers with juices I refused to throw out combining with a strong desire for soup. I put all my veggies (a bulb of garlic, and onion and a hand full of greens) in with the juices and equal parts water and set it to boil. After adding some sugar to cover up the vinegar I gave up and put it in jars and in the jars in the fridge. Thinking well it'll make a great marinade.
The next day, I took some to use as broth added some more brown sugar, 2 times the amount of "broth" in water, coriander and spice rum, fresh veggies, lentils and random left over chicken. Yum and really filling could only eat a cup, but have about 1.5 gallons of it.
The croutons? The rolls went stale. I cut them into small pieces coated them with basil, salt, pepper and olive oil and baked in the oven until crispy through. Very tasty.
Sorry I ate them before I could take a picture of the croutons. And yes that is the "Opps I don't have 7 cups of flour (WTF?) rolls" floating in the soup and in the background.
Let's hope March gets here quickly! I could use some warmth and some good ole Texas!
