Day 30 April 14th 2020 Home cooking in the age of Coronavirus
I enjoy cooking and baking so I don't mind being forced to eat my own food and no one else minds either as they have enjoyed my signature brand of "use it up so it doesn't go bad first" cooking. My presentation may not be great but the taste is more important anyway.
So clockwise we have...
1- me using up sugar packets I've been hoarding for years. I used all my Wendy's sugar up finally. haha.
2,3, & 4 - me filling puffed pastry shells with the last of the honey crisp apples I stewed down and made into apple puffs complete with a brown butter glaze.
5- veal breast riblet (only meat left at the store when we got it) slow cooked in white wine (last bottle) and garlic cloves (last bunch)
6&7- Bead pudding using the slightly stale challah raisin bread with a bananas foster rum glaze using the last two ripe bananas from this week.
8- carrot cupcakes (using the last of the fresh carrots) with a brown butter cream cheese frosting. Some with pecans some without.
9- Baked pasta using up the last of the sausage, fontina cheese and mozzarella cheese.
10- Lemon pancakes using up the last fresh lemon.
11-egg omelet using the last bit of salsa and cheddar cheese.
12 - beer battered shrimp using some more of the leftover corona beer.
13- banana bread using up two ripe bananas from two weeks ago.
14- and in the center. What I ate for my birthday which was a bacon chili cheese burger using up all the bacon .
P.S. We restocked the fridge this week for the next few weeks and we start all over again by making sure nothing goes to waste.
