What did you cook or eat today (January 2025)

[Barriehie]

Started out with an onion on the cutting board and ended up with this orzo, onion, carrot, leek, sausage bowl...

If you *ever* overcook pasta again we will make sure the whole planet knows you're a fail...

Looks right good!!!

The planets already well aware of my shortcomings and overcooking pasta doesn’t make it into the first volume let alone top of any list

Yes, that’s sweet potato (or is it yam? ) stuffed with mushrooms and spinach - three things I do not like. There’s also cheese, onion, and garlic in there.

I ate all of it…and I’m more stalwart than ever in my dislike.

I'll eat spinach and mushrooms gladly but you lost me at sweet potatoes and yams. Eww.

My take on Legal Seafood's clam chowder.

Sweet potato vs yam
Wow, that was brave of you; eating three things I love all at the same time!
Are you doing a New Year's penance or something?

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Salad, pickled mushroom (which are really good) and potato salad.

 

[Herbaceous]

Bacon and maple syrup. Breakfast of champions.

I sure felt like it after that. Now where’s my hair shirt?

I'm in town
I had chicken shoarma for lunch and a coke
Mind you, that was around 13 and I had beenon the road since 06

Power was back on earlier than expected, so I made tagliatelle aglio, olio e peperoncino

Last night we had copycat chicken Chipotle bowls: brown Basmati rice, pinto beans, grilled adobo marinated chicken chunks, fresh tomato salsa, sour cream, and shredded Monterey jack cheese with lime cilantro tortilla chips for dipping. It tasted pretty close to the restaurant's version. I didn't take a photo.

Oh, those sourdough baguettes I baked last night that I thought were so horrible? I cut into one and although it was a little dense and chewy, it had the airy holes and the sourdough flavor I was looking for. I will try it again and see if I can get it to come out lighter, but they weren't as bad as I thought they were!

Did you use parchment paper and did they stick?

I did use parchment paper and they did not stick. But that wasn't the issue, it was more about them being heavier and denser than I'd like. And it could be that my dough was too wet. I am going to try a different person's recipe tomorrow and see if I have better results. I will still use parchment paper next time as well, though.
