    That looks delicious ^^^

    Horseradish is a bonus and I do put cocktail on some. 

    I tease, I tease, I am guilty of the same ;)

    The trick is a dash of white vinegar in the pot of boiling water and don’t take your eye off it, and excuse me but I just had oysters this weekend and cocktail sauce that I make myself is a must lots of horseradish black pepper and hot sauce

    The whites still end up in the pan when I do it.  And I was joking a bit about the cocktail sauce. I prefer the vinegar but enjoy! Blue points are as good as any others!

    I have a new health issue (boohoo) which results in my having a new lifestyle/diet (not so bad). I've been focusing on Whole Foods Plant Based, and I cooked some pretty good dishes. Yesterday I made a tofu scramble. It included nutritional yeast, tahini, black beans, quinoa, onion power, garlic powder, salt, pepper, roasted red peppers, cumin, tumeric, paprika and it was the closest to a egg scramble in texture. It was yummy :)

    I have to say that this new lifestyle transition has not been easy. Are any of you on a forever-diet? Have you found a buddy to talk recipes? My twin and I talk recipes, but I wished I had more people to talk recipes. I guess I could come here :)

    I’m not sure Ms Haiku I’m sure there’s folks here who eat foods like that but I’m not one of them! My wife likes to cook lots of vegetables & beans and once in a while she will use tofu I do like tofu! Your dish sounds like a good one to try out..

    I am lucky to be on a sodium rich Japanese diet. Hope to live to 94!

    I cooked a corn chowder. Dairy is out of my new diet. In place of sour cream or any dairy-type cream I decided to use soaked cashews. I soak cashews and then blended them with green chilies before I added them to the soup. Also, I added lentils. Good soup.

    I cooked a lentil chili with vegetables. I added red quinoa to increase the protein percentage. The recipe had chili powder and cumin, and I added coriander, tumeric, and ginger. I was going to add 1/8 tsp of red pepper flakes, and I should have done that. It didn't have enough heat. Somewhat rich, but it needed more heat.

    I cooked a tomato soup last night. In place of cream I used white beans. I never had a strong opinion about bean flavor, but due to my new diet I looked into heirloom beans. These beans are from Zursun. They had a mellow umami flavor which was surprisingly good. I brined them in salted water before I instant pot-d them before I added them to the soup. Anyway, I also added quinoa to increase the protein. The recipe listed red pepper flakes, which is a good idea, and I added garlic powder and Italian seasoning. It also had onion, garlic, carrot. It was awesome tasting; like pasta fazool. If I switched out the quinoa for pasta, I guess that would be it.

    Inspiring Mr F Me.
  • The local farm had their first cut of corn and batch of tomatoes.   Mmm, Jersey has some of the best of both.  They also had giant shiitake mushrooms out.
    Just sliced them up and sautéed- them put over another helping of that salad.

    Tough to top well prepared shrooms.

    Kate’s been making red raspberry jam for two weeks now! We’re also going to soak a big jar of them with vodka to infuse them for mixing drinks! And offcourse I’m making some THC tinctures

    I'm thinking of joining a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). Sounds like that farm to table idea.

    I made a creamy potato soup last night. Instead of cream I blended white beans with green chilies and cashews. The recipe didn't have a lot of spices so I added garlic powder, tumeric, ground mustard, nutritional yeast. On first bite the green chilies didn't come through but by the end the heat was there. It was more of a stew as I also added quinoa. I have to up my protein, so I add beans and quinoa to any soup that doesn't have it. Good comfort food.
