What did you Bake/Cook Today?!?!?! :)

[Starry]

I'm always so jealous of the cookers/bakers in this thread. But I am right now...currently probably burning...some chocolate chip cookies!

Okay...the reason I am posting...
I've got some really good/fresh Garam Masala stinking up my pantry...that I'd like to use on a 'tried and true' recipe. Any recommendations?

^^Thanks nobody for helping me create this...

Masoor Dal. So proud of myself *sniff* so proud.
(Oh...and I get the idea of the thread now. People just post. No reading...no questions Just my style!! LOL!!)

Lentil soup-needed less liquid and more spices was the consensus on it otherwise -a

Tuna salad! And it was yummy.

Well, I had heated up a can of Thai coconut soup, but I got distracted by the package of salami I found in the fridge. I bought it around 6 weeks ago on a whim, and now I couldn't resist. So I ate the entire package just now. Basically it's the first time I've eaten pork in nearly 10 years. And I scarfed down the whole thing.

Why did I do that.

 

[Thalassa]

I tossed cold white kidney beans with albacore tuna, chopped onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and salt and pepper.

Needs olive oil.

EDIT: works quite well as a cold bean salad with a bit of balsamic vinagrette rather than the olive oil, yum

I took a baking with bacon class, and it was awesome. First we learned to cure our own bacon. I used salt, brown sugar, ancho chile, honey and black pepper:

And then we made bacon chocolate chip cookies, bacon gruyere muffins, bacon date scones, and pig candy:

Yea, its an austrian / bohemian recipe, my grandfather had a hotel down in Bohemia (nowdays Czech Republic) before the war. He was a learnt cook and hotelier and he knew everything about dumplings .

Bohemian dumplings are very tasty as well and bring every nice sauce to excellence.
Recipe is easy: 14 ounces ( 400 g ) flour + .5 cups of milk ( 125 ml ) + 2 eggs + yeast and a sprinkle of salt

Very tasty, if you add butter you get the dumplings above. You can experiment a lot with dumplings put all kind of stuff in the mixture

Another nice recipe from down there is crude Bratwurst with white wine, where the wine is inside the sausage and makes for a nice sauce when roasted. You can combine that with mashed potatoes and Sauerkraut, perfect german meal hehe . To make Sauerkraut tasty you have to add sugar, salt and pepper and caraway, very tasty .

Oh god, made myself hungry now

Thank you so much for the recipe!!! (and for the family history just because I love that kind of stuff).
I'm honestly going to give this a shot LOL! When I get around to it I'll come back and post a picture though I might end up embarrassing myself!! haha.

PS. I love Sauerkraut

Yea do that . One thing: I confused yeast with backing powder. If you use yeast it will become a pizza dough. You have to try a bit with the dumplings, everytime you make them they are different. And dont be too easy on the salt or they'll lack taste ( but dont be too hard on it as well ). I always mess up the salt.

My grandfather sure would be honored, if his recipe would make it over the Ocean. He was always a big fan of cowboy movies so I bet he would have liked that. I tell him when I visit him next time

Oh okay...I got it and made the changes. I'm excited to make this. Your grandfather sounds like a wonderful person!

Yea he was, he had lost a leg in Russia and was one of the last to be let out of imprisonment by the Russians. His borther was not so nice, we suspect him to have been in the SS and later after the war he worked for german intelligence tho officialy he was a colonel in the army. My grandpa died at age 72 because he smoked to much, his brother still lives at age 91.

it always hits the wrong people :/ my grandpa was entp imo, the only one in my family

Going on a fritter kick this week. Apple fritters, corn fritters, fritter fritters...all gluten free.

I made some chocolate chip cookies (again), sticky chicken wings, and fried rice the other night. Last night was ultimate nachos but a real lazy version of it. No salsa or refried beans on the side. Too tired.

Radish salad that I use for my wraps.

1) Peel and chop daikon radish into bite sized cubes
2) Boil on medium-high heat for 15 minutes and drain (I save the boiling water and drink it as a tea for a good blood cleanser)
3) Combine in a bowl raw almond butter, pinch of sweetener of your choice, lemon juice, crushed garlic, quality olive oil, celtic sea salt, and fresh cracked black pepper - add daikon

It'll last three days in the fridge. I like to make collard wraps with this as the base adding mung bean sprouts, avocado, tomato, and thai basil.

Adorable! Did you draw this yourself?
