Slaving over a hot stove all day...

[madbaker]

I tried to take off a finger yesterday (fortunately I failed) so I had to put off a few things until today. This made for a long, but productive, day.

Starting at 8:30 AM, I cooked:
-2 loaves of bread (which went into lunch: BLTs with tomatoes fresh off the vine and lettuce from our Victory Garden. Yum)
-a beet/chocolate cake
-a batch of onion jam, which also had to get canned
-a gigantic batch of red sauce, still burbling away.

Dawn was sweet enough to massage my aching feet. Without prompting. Love you!

Onion jam? What would you use it with, a meat thing? Like mint jam and lamb, but more like beef with onion jam? Sorry, I eat onions only rarely and thus the concept is confusing my brain.

Beet/chocolate cake? Beets for the sugar aspect, or for low-fat, or what?

And have you checked out the food porn group on LJ?

Onion jam makes a good cheese substitute in sandwiches and tacos. It also is a nice thing to cook chicken in. It's 3 lbs. of onions, with a bit of olive oil, oregano, and wine, simmered for hours until it's a vaguely jammy texture.

Beets both for the sugar and low-fat. Also because we had beets from the CSA and we were tired of roasting them. Something different to do...

Don't forget, I will give your unwanted tomatoes a good home. ;)

D'oh! Well, at least I remembered to bring the Soma TJ newsletter.
