What did you cook or Bake today? (2018)

[silva]

I wish olive bars weren't so expensive! My treat is to fill a container with almost every kind of olives, a couple of the different peppers, a marinated artichoke, and those de-licious gigande beans! When they're finished I add crumbled tofu to marinate in all the delicious garlicky, olivey, herby, oils and brine

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Well, I did what I set out to do today... stuffed jumbo shells with that dip I made yesterday, made some sauce (crushed tomatoes, evoo, chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped baby kale), I had every herb/spice I needed except oregano. Those shells don't get covered until the sauce is fixed!

Made a quick trip to the local produce place for fruit. Got some good buys. A pineapple for .99, cherries were $1.99, cantalope .99, grapes.
I dislike that place. It's a brand new building, the aisles are so tight you can't get around anyone. The shelf for discounted produce is completely in the sun , and often close to rotten. Too much devoted to deli. My grocery where I was getting mocha no longer has it, so I looked at the bulk coffee bins. They had 'coco-mocha-nut'. now, silly me, read 'coco-mocha' thinking it would be cocoa-mocha. I filled about a cup worth in the bag, smelled it and realized it was coco-nut . Yuck! I discretely put the bag down and moved on....

That should be a thread! A playful "Love it or hate it?" kinda thing... regarding stuff like olives, cilantro, mayo, etc....

So, maybe you should start a thing like that? - I've noticed that you're very good at starting threads.....!

YOU do it! Sauerkraut is another one that could go there! Have you ever started a thread? Now's your chance! All the pickled things! LOL

And, from what I've noticed ^^ coconut would fall into that much-loved or much-hated slot as well....

My mom's friend is actually allergic to it, so....

Oh, no... I won't implicate myself in this kind of escapade... I'll be feeling really embarassed. Moreover, the existing threads suit me quite well.

Even though I hate olives, I like olive oil. Sorta like how I dislike peanuts but love peanut butter.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

The latkes turned out nice & tasty! The two I tried pan-frying started falling apart (small skillet, huge spatula, major issues), but I ate 'em both anyway. LOL Decided to make minis in my kick-*** muffin tin (nothing sticks!) & a few free-form in a baking pan of the same kick-assedness.

So... mix, minis, regs, and then the sh*t I prepared for Jerry (totally vegan & he gobbled 'em up )....

Cool! What are the ingredients of your latkes? (If you don't mind...)

Oy... I'll get back to you... took me a while to upload pics (from cam & phone), I'm reheating pasta, & I need a beer & to enjoy the cool outdoors.


ETA:


OK, very quickly.... A 30 oz. bag of frozen shredded potatoes (thawed in a colander), half a sweet onion (finely chopped)... um... I wanna say three green onions/scallions (snipped with kitchen shears), two flax eggs (two tablespoons of ground flax meal + six tablespoons of water... let it sit, stirring occasionally, until viscous & "goopy")... herbs & spices (garlic powder, Mrs. Dash, a little smoked paprika, dill weed, always nooch, I think I ground up some rosemary just because)... three small scoops (less than TBSPs) of tapioca flour, the last of my oat flour (about a TBSP)....

I'm sure I'll think of something else... I usually only use recipes for a basic outline, you see... I don't care much for too many "rules"....

I didn't wanna interrupt you... Go ahead...
G'night, and have a nice meal.

Look above ^^^^ Edited just for you. my friend.

Now, **** off, I need to cook & drink.... LOL, kidding of course.... but, seriously, I may have food scorching right now.... LMAO

 

[MadamSarcastra]

I baked six more mini-latkes in my muffin tin and I made a small batch of chickpea salad (a can of garbanzos, a quarter of a sweet onion, one large green onion, some Just Ranch, a little Just Mayo, nooch, Mrs. Dash, garlic powder, dill weed, parsley, & a tiny sprinkle of smoked paprika)....

Making an Ethiopian inspired dish in my Instant Pot. Red lentils, onions, loads of garlic, potatoes, carrots and cabbage with berbere spice. A coworker gave me just enough berbere for me to try, if this goes well I'll go to Penzeys' again!

 

[silva]

I really want those potato pancakes! Haven't made them in so long. I really like them fried so much better
Craving fries so badly

I also made a dish with lentils yesterday but it was based on a Cypriot recipe. It includes rice,onions, a daphne's leave, olive oil, salt and pepper. It's a great dish both for the winter and the summer cos you can eat it either warm or cold.

Mexican-inspired vegan stuffed peppers! Red, yellow & orange bell peppers filled with: Sautéed garlic, onion & baby spinach; brown rice cooked in veggie broth, black beans, corn with peppers, diced tomatoes, fire-roasted crushed tomatoes; nooch, a little pink salt, Mrs. Dash, cumin, cilantro, chipotle powder, & smoked paprika; topped with Daiya pepper-jack shreds....

(from last to first)

I made Greek salad. Then I made three jars of veggies with brine so they can ferment. 2 jars have zucchini, 1 jar has carrots. I added grape leaves this time, since they're supposed to keep the veggies crisp. And of course there's fresh dill and garlic in there too.

A potato, spinach, mushroom and tofu casserole.

I love casseroles and soups. My ex husband disliked both. In retrospect, it was a character flaw that I should have recognized immediately.
