2015 in Reivew (Part 2)

So what happened the second half of the year?

July:
Kitchen Inspector
In July we finally got our Christmas puppy (well not exactly a puppy and not exactly for Christmas). She's coming along with training but it's been a lot of work (hence, my slacking off on the cooking front). There was a brief entry about Strawberries, a how-to about fruit flies (ugh I hate those buggers), and then there were cocktails on the veranda.

August was ice cream month:

There was - Anise, Cinnamon, and Double Chocolate. To counteract the ice cream intake, there were some salads too - Bulgur and Cranberry, Irish Oatmeal Salad, and Barley Salad.

September brought us some company:

There wasn't much action in the kitchen for the month of September bceause Mickey (AKA Einstein) came for a visit. I couldn't bear to even walk into the kitchen for fear of encountering him, let alone cook in there. However, I did get to do a test run of pumpkin ice cream, which was a nice addition to Thanksgiving dessert. There was also chocolate coconut pound cake.

October:

There was the Blue Chair discovery. Sauerkraut, and Lemon Tassies. While I have been able to purchase the coconut Blue Chair rum, but I haven't been able to find the banana rum cream :-(

November:

This month brought my best Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie and Cottage Pie. I think this month was about comfort food.


December:

More recently,  I worked on getting a few old stand-bys up on the blog - finally the Worcestershire Sauce, a version of my Pot Roast but with cranberries, and then something new -  Cinnamon Star Bread

And that about sums up 2015. Here's looking at 2016 CHEERS!

Waffled Hash Browns

I'm not that much of a fan of one-trick ponies taking up real estate in my kitchen. I know that a waffle iron can be classified as that, but now I can rationalize that it's not. Who knew you could make hash browns in it? Waffled Hash Browns (Adapted from Cooking Light ) 1 1/2 lb russet potato (shredded) salt/pepper to taste 1/4 t garlic powder 1 1/2T butter, melted Preheat waffle iron. Squeeze liquid out of potatoes by blotting between two paper towels. Toss potatoes, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Brush both sides of the waffle iron with butter. Spread potatoes evenly on waffle iron. Close and cook 2 minutes. Press iron closed completely and cook about 12 minutes or until golden brown. I did not feel that they browned as nicely as in the picture on the original recipe, but then again I don't have a food stylist do I? The drawback of this recipe is that you have to share this. Since they take about 15 minutes, it's a little difficult to make a second one...

Citrus Shortcake

In my mind, this cake is sort of a blank slate. The cornmeal gives it a little crunch but it is quite versatile. I drizzled a citrus icing on it this time around. I think there are many other things that you could do. You could macerate some berries in sugar and top the cake with them. I think some heated jam (orange, strawberry, or raspberry) drizzled over would be nice. I scoop of ice cream never hurt anyone. A dollop of whip cream never did either. I think you get the idea. Citrus Shortcake (Adapted from Cooking Light circa 2010) 3/4 c sugar 1/4 cup butter 2 eggs 1 T orange rind, grated 2T fresh OJ 1/2 t vanilla 1 c flour 2T cornmeal 3/4 t baking powder 1/2 t baking soda 1/4 t salt 2/3 c buttermilk Grease a 9" square pan set aside. Cream butter and sugar for 5 minutes in a mixer.  Meanwhile, combine dry ingredients (flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl). Set aside. Add eggs one a time to butter mixture; beating well after ...

New Kid on the Block

So here's a picture of the new kid on the block. Ain't she a beauty? It's a Blomberg . They are fairly new to the US. They have been around in Europe for quite a while. I really liked the design. I've been dying to have a freezer on the bottom. With the old refrigerator I would constantly lose brain cells by hitting my head on the freezer will poking around in the refrigerator. It really makes sense to have the refrigerator on top - that is where you spend most of your time. When we bought the old one, it was an emergency situation. The prior one was leaking on the floor and was no longer cooling. Fifteen years ago the freezer on the bottom was just starting to get popular but we were in no situation to wait for delivery. We had to take what they had on hand. Now the freezer on the bottom is by no means unique. What is - is this freezer's design. There are 3 compartments in the freezer. I used to have a chest freezer in the basement and everything would get los...
