I made mulled wine from my own wine. Tasty and alcohol free. I had no clue what to do with it, if I can't possibly cook that much, nor want to drink more than occasionally. So yeah, mulled wine can use a lot of wine, when boiling the alcohol away.

Also, I saw somebody mention spaghetti, and wanted to praise his excellent taste; then I saw it was me... x D Nevermind. : )

hello,

i've never made wine before
but i do make kombucha (different batches / ferment times)
one batch has fermented into vinegar that i use for salad dressings

i also make tepache (fermented pineapple)
that i use to make a 'jerk seasoning' with a bunch of other peppers

here is matty and michelle chaos
beef stroganoff

caution: curse words and sexy jokes





today's meal is cold shrimp with cocktail sauce
a reheated steamed potato (resistant starch)
and steamed mixed vegetables

a very clean meal

cheers and eat well,

Hi!

I haven't made vinegar yet, but yeah, it's good to keep in mind that making a drink (or drinking) isn't the only option when it comes to fermenting/alcohol making.

And whether the result is alcohol or vinegar, absolute YES!!!, it's brilliant for cooking or salads. : )

I eat 'Chilli con Carne' almost every day. Why? Because it's cheap to fill my 6ltr slow cooker once every 2 weeks then just feast on the spoils of GAS... and it tastes great, which is a plus.

Just made that today! I boiled it though, so you don't have to "count the beans up to 39 and throw away the 40 ones". x D

I made and baked hotdog buns. The buns were excellent, but the whole hotdog was a bit disappointing for some reason.

The next day, home made breads are usually becoming like saw dust. Luckily, I tried putting one in the microwave, and honestly, it was much better than freshly baked! I loved the slight rubbery outer layer of the bun, the inside was nice and moist, but not soggy.

Is that sogginess just with store-bought buns??

Either way, I'm definitely gonna make more buns in future, knowing that thanks to the microwave, they can be brought back to life the next day. : )

I cooked pork patties, baked simple round buns, and made a sandwich and added ketchup, mayo, and mustard. So more or less a hamburger.

Throwing the fresh buns in the microwave for a minute, softens them up perfectly.

A large pot of cabbage soup was just recently bubbling away on the stove. One sweet onion, one red onion, two carrots, half a head of white cabbage, and potatoes (Finnish variety called Annabelle)... it might be my mind just tripping me but it is funny how sweet it actually tastes... and clean.

Bog standard (but good) ingredients, might be the fact that I cut all of them with a recently sharpened Japanese nakiri (knife designed for cutting vegetables, etc.), it just flew through produce. Clean cuts, better taste, or so I've heard from a number of celebrated chefs (so yeah, there might actually be something to it).

Anyway, this was a really fun start for a week, prepped the potatoes yesterday already. This morning it took me like max. 30 lazy minutes total to do the rest, prep the rest of the ingredients, sweat the onions, and then, put the rest of the soup together... garlic, parsley, marjoram, tarragon, black pepper, salt, and some white balsamico and naga jolokia sauce for added bite and clarity.

It turned out super yummy, esp. with a side of Finnish rye bread. Humble, yes, but super tasty.

Interesting! Could be tasty, even if white cabbage and onions' sweetness isn't really my thing.

I would have still thrown in some stock cubes. x D

I made bolognese sauce, and fresh pasta to go with it. It is a NIGHTMARE to cut every single "spaghetti" from rolled up pasta. Should have just made lasagna. This way I literally worked, for every single piece of pasta... About time to get a pasta machine!

Note, cheese has got really expensive. Nz$18 for a kilo block - thats abt 12 euros. This time last year it was$10. Its crazy, half a dozen eggs are $12, a packet of chips is $5.59! The cost of living is out of control. Plus the supermarket down my street runs out of food all the time, even before the massive floods recently.

Dude, do it. Mine is my most treasured kitchen item. Fresh fettuccine for two in the time it takes to boil the water
