Made a few things over the weekend, and took ZERO photos. Oh well....
1. A dozen truffles (belatedly) for a friend's baby shower. Mom needs treats, too!
2. A quart of Irish steel-cut oatmeal, for breakfast Sunday and 3 days of work breakfasts this week. Used Alton's recipe, which treats the oatmeal almost like risotto (in the beginning - by toasting/frying it), then like rice (while its cooking - don't touch!). Always comes out great: slightly chewy and nutty.
3. Cream of beet w/ ginger marmalade soup. Pretty much how it sounds. Roasted the beets first, then pureed and added mushroom stock & water, and then the milk & cream and marmalade (which came from Cost Plus, of course). This is also a "take to work" item.
4. Green Chile Chicken stew. With potatos and everything. No cream, but thickened up nicely by reduction and flour/water paste. Not so hot that you can't eat a huge bowl at once. Had this for dinner Sunday night.
Oh, and I tried to make mayonnaise just because I'd never tried it before, but I was in the middle when I realized I didn't have lemons. So I'm not sure what I made, but it smells very much like strong olive oil. Probably will give that another go, eventually....
