Fun Stuff > CHATTER
A Cooking Thread?
Metope:
... And my other flatmate randomly brought me apple tart just now. Is it my birthday today or something? This is great!
LTK:
The frozen banana mix posted earlier prompted me to try a banana and peanut butter sandwich.
That was pretty fuckin' delicious.
But now I've completely spoiled my appetite and I don't want to eat the spaghetti with oyster mushrooms, cream sauce and cheese that I made yesterday.
LTK:
Hey! Hey! Isn't anybody eating anything around here?
I found a recipe for an oven dish with gnocchi di patate, spinach, bell pepper, pasta sauce and mozzarella. The supermarket didn't have any gnocchi so I used pre-cooked potato slices, since I figured another potato-based product would be a good substitute. It doesn't fit very well though, so next time I'll just use macaroni.
Has anyone else ever made anything with gnocchi? What's it like?
pwhodges:
I just eat gnocchi with sauce, like pasta.
We had visitors last weekend, so there was a lot of cooking. However, there was no real opportunity to take photos. Here is the remains of a (home-grown) Rhubarb Upside-down Cake after we'd eaten the rest; it's a really delicate recipe, with lemon:
Tonight I did Chicken Sate; marinaded chicken kebabbed with pepper, and a peanut samba with soy and chilli, served with rice (sorry for crappy deblurred phone picture):
Aimless:
So it turns out it's possible to make mayonnaise using milk and oil (and salt, lemon, pepper etc of course) and an immersion blender. Really nice. However it also turns out that extra virgin olive oil turns into a ridiculously bitter and utterly vile substance when blended in such a way. Something about polyphenols becoming exposed? I don't know, but whatever the reason I strongly recommend against blending olive oil for more than a little while.
