A local breakfast restaurant has re-purposed itself s a grocer for food-service supplies. So we were able to score some yeast. A one pound vacuum block of instant dry yeast. So DW made a couple loaves of bread yesterday. This may have created a monster. If there is anything better than home baked bread, I am not sure what it is. Maybe I can help nudge it over to sourdough? Ahh, A foodie's work is never done.

Time to revive this fun thread

After a long day of hunting the elusive boneless chicken this was dinner. Grilled chicken and strawberries over a bed of spring mix, carrots, and celery topped off with lemon dressing.

Pasta dishes and fondue have become staples for us. If meat becomes in short supply I expect that they will become even more important.

Blueberries and lemon are my favorite combination.

The salad I showed had strawberries because no blueberries and it did work very well too.

Goulash... and been using the Thermomix for cooking... it's been very handy with lots of recipes.

My go-to salad for maybe the past 6 months: Romaine, some kind of berry (raspberry, strawberry or blackberry), cubes of Swiss cheese, walnuts (sometimes pistachios). With a little salt and pepper, tossed with olive oil and peach white balsamic. Sometimes a YUGE salad with chicken. Sometimes a more normal sized side salad.

I'm also cooking pandemic pancakes ! :)

(but no four hour bike ride)

A local restaurant sells some grocery items and I’ve been buying half gallons of buttermilk from them.

Which means pancakes (our new Love is 100% Whole Wheat pancakes)
Biscuits
Cinnamon rolls
Corn bread
Ranch dressing
Bleu cheese dressing
Chocolate cupcakes
Mashed potatoes

And my new favorite thing: buttermilk panna cotta

next carton might could results in some waffles, fried chicken and perhaps strawberry buttermilk ice cream

Last night I made Mongolian Beef Ramen Bowl in the Instant Pot w/lots of veggies. It was a hit:


I forgot to take a picture, but here's one from the website. I used 4 cups of veggies, so ours had more veggies than the one pictured:

We are thinking the same thing and have stocked up on rice, pasta and dried beans.

I learned as a 15 year old, even though buttermilk smells "weird" (to a family who were not buttermilk drinkers) when it's fresh, you sure as heck don't want to bake with it when it's not! Had a cornbread recipe that called for buttermilk, so Mom bought it but I let it sit for several weeks. Even at that age I could tell it was "off" when I finally got around to using it, but still forged ahead. Bread was fine the first night, warm from the oven and slathered with butter and honey. But peeeeyewwww the next day! Smelled like spoiled milk. I came into the kitchen to find Mom sniffing the refrigerator to find out what had turned. Took us a few minutes to realize it was the cornbread sitting on the counter that was causing the stench.
