What was the last thing you cooked?

[Mary Terry]

Baked apples, stuffed with dates and dried cherries, cooked in a dark brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and water "sauce" to keep them moist.

I threw out horrible yellow telma chicken stock, triggering allergies. So I made what I call magooga soup, it's spinach stems, potatoes, red azuki beans with anti-oxidants like garlic, loads fresh tumeric, onions, bit of chicken. Put it in food processor for children's......
I think should open gates Jericho and serve this to asylum seekers, with Palestinian flags flying high.

I have never liked to make desserts. I like to cook savory food. I don't eat much sugar and rarely eat sweets anyway.

Well, yesterday I tried to make sugar cookies with a pound of softened butter, sugar and flour, etc. It was a disaster. The butter kept melting, the dough kept sticking to the rolling pin and the cutting board, and after I cut out the pumpkin shapes in the melty dough, I couldn't get the cookies off the cutting board. I finally wadded up all the dough into a flattened ball, wrapped it in plastic, stuck it back in the 'frig and drove to town to buy Halloween candy for the trunk or treat party.

Husband can do whatever he wants with the dough today. I'm done!

Just be sure to have some decent rocks if Charlie Brown shows up at your door Halloween night.

Last night made 2 big pots of bone broth and once the pots cooled, I strained off the bones and chunks of fat and meat, and strained off any bits through paper towel lined colanders. I then refrigerated the broth, so the grease would separate from the broth.

This afternoon, after skimming off the grease and saving it in a small tub for cooking, I am canning 4 pints of broth. And there are 4 more pint jars of dry beans with a mixture of broth and water waiting to be canned as round 2.

There are also 2 yogurt tubs full of broth for use immediately.

I'm tired.

Just reading that made me tired. That's a lot of work and time on your feet. The humid kitchen, and the fact I'm really sensitive to meat-smell, just adds to the exhaustion.

The rest of my family are pretty rabid carnivores. I somehow missed out on that gene. But I've got to keep the supplies up!

What do you cook in the beef fat? I've often thought about saving the chicken fat when I make broth or stock and use it to make Jewish recipes. A couple of weeks ago I made 8 quarts of chicken stock for the freezer and really hated throwing away all that good fat. The only fat I routinely save is bacon fat which I pour into a small jar in the frig and use to season beans, peas and pulses when I cook them.

I’ve always been good at baking. Because of my stomach problems, I hardly do it these days.
