I've been on Mastodon a little over two years, but I've never done an Introduction, so in keeping with the tone of driveinsaturday.org, an intro:

Recipe Review:

Wild Rice Soup: While I messed this up by not cooking the rice before I added it, it did cook in the soup and soften up nicely. This came out GREAT and I would totally do it again. The soup is nice and creamy, and the wild rice (wether it was how I made it or nice) give a nice chewy bite. Absolutely would make again. :)

Fettucine with Cream Sauce: Eh, it's good. The cream sauce is very thin, but tasty, and oddly contains no cream (cottage cheese and ricotta only). If I could thicken up the sauce it'd be fantastic, but otherwise, pretty decent. Good, would make again.

Mushrooms Italiano: I freaking messed that up big, and therefore it is disqualified from reviewing. Note to self: CAREFULLY read the recipe instead of skimming it for what you need to cook.

Nanos (Sponge Bread): This bread came out so much better than I thought it would. A good chewy, yet very slightly crunchy crust, the crumb is fairly dence but tasty and the cheese gives it a salt so that you don't even need butter on it. Cheddar Cheese may not be Roman, but it works in this bread.

Looking like next week won't get over freezing very often. TIME FOR THE YETO'S SUPREME SOUP.

Note to self: When "JK Rowling" is trending, don't read it if you want to keep up your spirits.

This Week's Meals (3/3): Some Kind of Stir Fry Thing.

I literally didn't have pan big enough for everything, realized this was a recipe for stuffed mushrooms not sliced mushrooms and it all went sideways.

But it is now a nice, if thick, mushroom vegetable stir fry. Now I have 2.5 pounds of mushrooms to figure out what to do with.

I may have miscalculated the portion size for these meals.

That's the problem with kids today. No one makes videos from the Office of the Secretary of Defence like this anymore.

I. I.

What?

Seeing as I haven't cooked meal #3 for this week, I guess I'm gonna try that Squareat cube thing early....
