It feels like I’ve been without a kitchen for years, not months (just rolled into our second month on this balogna), but thank goodness for air fryers and gas grills! In a fun turn of events, we also tore our back deck off the house this weekend because it wasn’t safe. The grill is now on the ground below the sliding door that is just off the kitchen. I’ve been handing things down to Mr Gremlin and he’s been handing them back up to me, miraculously cooked.
Tonight’s dinner: grilled pork tenderloin and potato foil packets (potatoes, spices, onion, butter) with some of last night’s salad and a big old glass of wine.
Counting down the days until we have a functional kitchen again and living vicariously through my foodie mutant tribe until then.
I hear you. I’m on an extended (2 month +) stay in a different city (and country) where I rent a furnished apartment. It comes with a kitchenette that has two burners, a tiny hotel sized mini fridge and no oven, only a microwave. Oh, it also doesn’t have a pan, only two narrow pots.
Oh man!
Yes a lovely fish indeed.
Besides salmon fishing on a charter boats out of San Francisco ( got sea sick once ) I caught a Steelhead off the shore of Port Costa on the Sacramento River many years ago.
A wonderful eating fish too.
Congratulations and Cheers!
Holy Horseradish, Batman!
I got some dried horseradish root on the sale shelf at our local health food store. I’ve never used that stuff before.
I was making wraps for lunch, so hydrated some in a jar and let it sit while I did some other prep.
After about 15 minutes I grabbed the jar and wafted it under my nose for a big sniff to see if it was working.
These are OK for asparagus (the labeled use), but mine gets the most use as a water bath canner for (very) small batch jam. It fits one mason jar, and the basket makes it easy to get out at the end.
Not granny’s summer canning session, but sometimes it’s use it or lose it on fruits or berries.
