I'm about to cook up some baked ziti for tonight's midnight meal.
Neighbors upstairs are having a party...hope they have plenty of their own food! I know what sautéed onions and peppers and baking cheese does to drunk people, and I'm not feeding any of them if they come down and bang on my door. :lol: |

How'd your potato soup turn out, bbro?
That sounds so good! |

I am trying to figure out how to salvage it since I made about 10 servings. Also, it didn't thicken like I thought it would with the flour and half and half. Sometimes I don't see the thickening until after a day in the fridge though....trying to pawn some off on a guy friend of mine :cool: I will be adding corn to it tonight and tomorrow. Then, I am going to add some cheese and bacon bits to try and get some of the Baked Potato feel. Then, some turkey sausage slices. Gotta change it up for a single person who has to eat 10 servings!! :D I am hoping some of this will balance out the pepper. Other than that - it's not bad. Nice and chunky. I would probably add garlic to it next time, too. |
Did you use the fat free half and half? Seems to me that things would be different in a fat-free version of something used for thickening. I wonder if it makes a difference?
I would forgo the bread bowl. They're cute and all but I'd rather enjoy the soup, not eat a loaf of bread. |
I definitely did not use the bread bowl - it is way too many calories and seems like such a waste! I did use the fat free half and half. I have never used half and half period, so I just went with it. I usually use skim milk for everything, so never thought twice. This also might be the reason that my soups don't thicken until after a night in the fridge :)

most soups thicken with time. but fat-free half-and-half? what were you thinking? if it can't be named in 2-3 syllables, it shouldn't be cooked with. WTF is fat-free half-and-half anyway? Look at how many calories/how much fat is in the real stuff. Not a whole shitload more. It's not worth the sacrifice.

Anyway - I added some cheddar cheese, corn and bacon bits to make a very tasty, filling soup. It cut down on the pepper taste, too. I suspect the cheese :) I will definitely be having this again for dinner tonight |
I pretty much follow recipes word for word, I'm no chef.
The cheese will always make things better. :) Sometimes it stands alone. I made spaghetti and meatballs and garlic bread last night. It sounded good but didn't taste so great. Frozen meatballs, way too many. Garlic bread always hits the spot, though. |
I do not follow recipes. I don't like anyone telling me what to do :lol:

monkey - that sounds good to me :) I just opened a jar of sauce. I have to doctor it up and do something with it. I might freeze it though. |
Baked pork chops

Last night we had butter chicken and spicy chickpea and lentil curry with rice. It was good!
|
Chops not nice.
Overcooked. I forgot American chops are a much larger cut of meat. Never mind. Worth a try. I love Butter Chicken! It sounds so innocent... Someone would always make it for Diwali or Eid when I lived in Leicester. |
Tonight will be shrimp stir fry - from a frozen package - and rice.
