Split peas need no soaking but need to be picked over for dirt and stones and do need washing, a strainer works well. Whole dried peas do need soaking over night, and have a better pea flavor than split peas but are not so easy to find... perhaps because they work so well for pea shooters. |

The shops, the politicians and doctors, the food rationing, the post boxes, the dangerous foreiners with brooms, the cat kidnappers, house maintenance, dance classes, gardeners,fake hair-analysts, Julie's multiple illnesses, sensitivities and overflowing garbage bins.

I've been cooking since I was 8. Have had very few complaints. I can recall a Soba Noodle salad that was horrid. Also, Company's Coming Beef and Peaches was not a hit. And twice, for different reasons, I screwed up the mashed potatoes that went into pierogies and a cottage pie. Also had two pecan fudge pies that would not set, and caramels that would not set. The pie was still edible. I added walnuts to the caramels and used it as sauce over ice cream. In NY, I made chicken stew with dried corn, not realizing that the corn needed to be soaked for a long time. I had to pick it out, kernel by kernel. I was feeding the neighborhood kids. They loved it! Minus the corn of course. Then the recent rice weirdness. Happened again last night. At 20 min. there was a lot of water on top. I did manage to get edible rice but it's slightly sticky. I did notice in looking at the raw, some grains are opaque and some are translucent. So I think that's the problem. Then there was the Spam Loaf Hawaiian that boasted that Dad would love it. He did not. He also asked me never to make the rather phallic looking fruit salad, both from the same cookbook. I may have forgotten a few things, but those stand out in my mind. I am well known for my baking and candy making and have people place orders with me over the years. I never went into this as a business because for as much as I love cooking, I think I would burn out on it if I had to do it all day, every day. But... People always remember me for my cooking. One of my ex's relatives asked Angela if I still cooked all the time. The relatives in PA thought I did nothing but cook. And when I was there, I did. He has a lot of relatives there and they were always stopping by to try my food. One of his mom's caretakers asked if her sister could come over to try my pot roast. It was an unusual recipe in tomato sauce with lots of vegetables, including mushrooms, celery and bell peppers. I also try to cook specifically for those I am serving. I am good at remembering people's dislikes or intolerances and will always have something different for them. For instance, a former SIL likes all forms of potatoes but mashed. So when I knew she was coming, I'd put put a bowl of baked potatoes as well. If was fine if there were leftovers as they could be used for something else. And if feeding a crowd, I'll do a salad bar rather than a tossed salad. I love making challenging recipes if I have someone to eat them. I've made a lot of Thai food, even though I won't touch it myself. I've been told it's better than what you can get in a restaurant. At least the ones around here. ==== Yes, I wish you would share more recipes:)) Please would you share your pot roast one?:)) |

Oh dear ... I would hate that, but I suppose you make the best of what you have! the next best water i had was up north where the local municipality sourced their water from an old abandoned copper mine. after some years they switched over to wells sited in a rather rotten place and the water was much worse. progress... heh, nope, not that time... Oh dear:( songbird |
