What's for dinner?

Home made Alfredo? I am not the biggest fan of it and the one time I made it I did something I knew that you weren't supposed to do. I used pregrated cheese. For those of you not in the know grated cheese that you buy in the grocery store has been treated with cellulose (think very fine saw dust) to keep it from sticking together. Unfortunately if you cook with it it has the exact opposite reaction. There will be clumps.
Of course. A white sauce base is one of the easiest things to whip together in a matter of moments. I bought my Parmesan fresh that morning. :) Add couple a sprigs of parsley and welcome to Nirvana.

Yep, just reviewed some recipes. I will have to try it again. I have had a good homemade Alfredo, I just have to avoid my earlier error. When I made my French Onion Soup last night the Parmesan grated very easily. In the next couple of days I will have to do so. Tonight rib steak, asparagus, and baked potatoes loom in the future.

When should I be there?

The other night since it is asparagus season and it is plentiful and relatively cheap I made a pot of cream of asparagus soup. I was impressed and this recipe is now from memor:

One pound of asparagus cut up into roughly one inch pieces. half a large onion (recipe said half a cup) chopped. 14.5 oz can of chicken broth, I used a box that was larger but I can do math!. one cup of milk Half cup of source cream. Two tablespoons butter, two tablespoons flour. Teaspoon of salt, Dash of pepper, and a teaspoon of lemon juice.

Put the chopped asparagus and chopped onion in a pot with half a cup of the chicken broth. Heat to boiling covered, take the cover off and simmer for 12 minutes until vegetables are soft. Pour vegetable into a blender and puree. A few small chunks are fine. Meanwhile take the pot, don't wash it out, add the butter and flour and cook on medium low for about 2 minutes to form a roux. Add salt, add the rest of the chicken broth, milk, and pepper. I did it in stages to avoid clumping of the roux. The first bit of liquid always seems to make the roux even thicker add the liquid and stir until liquid and then you can add the rest more quickly. Heat to boiling, add the still hot pureed asparagus, heat to almost boiling, put the sour cream and lemon juice in a bowl and add a ladle full of the hot soup form the post, slowly blend together in the bowl and then re-add to the pot. Heat if necessary and serve immediately.

Pasta with a sauce of broth, cream, mushrooms, chicken, butter, and flavoring. Salad (if I make it in time). And, asparagus.

The missis and I have collected about 40 candy bar wrappers that we'll be melting the old chocolate off of. That plus a mix of all the pop left over in the pop cans we've accumulated, we'll be dining quite well by candle lite . . . as long as it lasts---birthday candles are so darn small these days.

From our refrigerator box to yours

Cheers
