What's For Dinner?

[John53]

Yes, stilton is good. As an ingredient I do not mind feta, I am not sure if I would like straight. And the odds are good that neither you or I have had real feta. In both the US and Australia anyone can make "feta cheese". It is like the parmesan I used last night. It was definitely not Italian, but then neither was the pasta that I made. I also have some Parmigiana Reggiano in the house for more serious ventures.

Oops, almost forgot. It is not a blue cheese:

Feta - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Genuine Greek feta is imported here, there's a lot of Greek immigrants that call Australia home. It tastes as bad as the fake stuff.

I also have problems halloumi. Not sure if we can blame the Greeks for something from Cyprus? It tastes ok but it makes my teeth squeak and I don't like that.

Got a loaf of bread rising.

Not sure what I'll do with it yet, but there's plenty of options in the fridge.

Spent the afternoon doing yard work, shower behind me, and not long before bedtime, so I'm thinking strawberry microwave cake with sugar-free chocolate frosting and sliced strawberries. That's healthy enough, right? LOL

Sugar free is a sin.

What's microwave cake?

If you mix a box of regular cake mix with a box of Angel Food cake mix you have what it takes to make single servings of cake. I use the little Pyrex bowls and 3 tablespoons of mix, 2 tablespoons water, 1 minute in microwave on high.

They're good. I used to do them and we'd eat them with ice cream on top. Had to stop when my belt started to become more stressed than normal.

Sorry, but that's a lot of work for a single serving. I'll best stick with 3,2,1 cake.

That looks good too. Could you make it a chocolate cake by adding cocoa powder? The coffee mug cake does have that advantage.

Although, it’s not what’s for dinner, it’s at least what I had for dinner. I had some cherry tomatoes and a bowl of brown rice drizzled with olive oil. For dessert, I had a small bowl of walnuts drizzled with honey and some cinnamon powder sprinkled on them. I had a glass of milk mixed with cacao powder with the dessert.

I had a small sandwich for breakfast.

You can make it whatever flavor you want by choosing that flavor of cake mix. The Angelfood Cake mix adds the eggs and makes it microwavable. I'm thinking of spice cake for the fall.

I may have. But if people had to watch what it takes to make foie gras how many of them would have enjoyed that meal. The price for the meal is more than I want to pay morally. Some day we are likely to perfect growing various meats in vitro. A that point we can leave morals behind. This year I cooked some Copper River Sockeye Salmon a few times. When fresh it is incredibly amazing. And I think that almost the entire catch is sold fresh. There is a short window of availability for it. There are some high quality sources that ship it nationwide that freeze but they also have a highly premium price on it.

My first site I hit on has "Premium slices" at $38 a pound. A bit more than the $15 a pound that I paid locally. Though I am buying a whole filet. This by the way, is over done. You should not see that much of the fat turning white:

And looking at other sources it appear that a $40 buck a pound price is pretty standard for that fish. I am lucky that I live where I live.

For my lover's 40th birthday, I crafted an appetizer of foie gras terrine with ice-wine soaked raisins, elegantly wrapped in leeks with white and green stripes, and served atop a wheat-berry salad dressed in apple cider vinaigrette, finished with a homemade apple chip. It was fantastic! The main course was chateaubriand with sauce béarnaise, roasted potatoes, and asparagus, accompanied by a 1970 Chateau Margaux. For dessert, I served port-caramelized pears with Stilton cream. You would have loved it!

Haven't had them in aaaaages!
