Traditional Norse cream pudding. Quart of cream boiled till fish eyes stage, add 4tbs flour, reduce heat and cook till butter comes to the top. Pull off butter, add a tbs sugar, 2 more flour, good pics of salt, and quart of scalded milk. Stir and out I. A glass bowl. Tradition is to leave a bowl for Nissa in the barn loft. We will all have a bit tonight, and then I have the breakfast of the long oarsmen this week
Let's see! :geek:

I did a riff on "Bigos" - Polish Hunter's Stew. Instead of pork stew meat I used ham, and the traditional smoked kielbasa. The rest was close to recipe with the exception of the ham and ham stock in place of beef stock and dry vermouth in place of red wine. The rest of the line up are: onion, carrot, garlic, cabbage, sauerkraut, mushrooms, tomato paste, diced tomatoes and seasoning. It's a rich and hardy dish that needs a hot, crusty bread for sopping up the goodness that is Bigos.

Brought some kusshi oysters home from work. Enjoying being a fish monger. Much more peaceful than the last gig.

Thanks man, I agree! It is one of my two favorite patinas in my journey so far. Well, a bit of both, ha. I should say, it's all natural as in it was only produced with food, but I made sure to only cut hot proteins (primarily chicken) with it for awhile. So, in theory it is natural, but I did use specific foods that tend to produce a lot of colors on purpose.

Happy New Year everyone!!! I made a proper New Years dinner - Michael Ruhlman's "Hoppin John", collard and mustard greens with ham and my sausage, "smutty" rice (sausage, no livers) and my first ever scratch made biscuits. (It's painfully obvious I need fresh baking powder.) Had it with some venison/goose sausage I made this week.

@Ut_ron - I gave up relying on hosting services and embedding software. I just use BBE code these days. It's like a step backwards, but it works.

I made creamy mushroom soup yesterday and it was very satisfying.

Not quite cooked, but . . . . I made Ukrainian style Kovbosa (kielbasa) pork, beef, fat, seasoning ground last night and souped up with hard cider this morning before putting into the casings. Oh the test patty was delicious!!

I did a riff on Ramen with some clam stock, onion, garlic and lots of parsley and white wine. I didn't want a sauce I wanted a Brodo as a vehicle for A: steaming mussels and B: put the finished product over pasta. It worked quite well -
