welcome to a semi-occasional addtion:
Perdita's Food Talk (come up with a better name, anyone?)
I just found my recipe for marshmallows! I win! I've made them before, it's pretty easy and better than the stuff you buy at the store. I'm planning on splitting the batch between 2 friends and myself, 15, 15 and 10. I don't want 40 marshmallows sitting around taunting me, that's for sure.
I wish I could find a recipe for home made hot chocolate mix, because, what a cute present is that?
I had a really good idea for a roasted garlic/pepper sauce (for sandwiches or some such) One head of roasted garlic, 2 (or should it be 3?) roasted peppers (red or yellow and orange, yum!), a bit of lemon juice, salt, pepper and olive oil. Throw it all in the food processor and let it go. I'm going to try it on thursday when I will have company for lunch. Mmmm turkey sandwiches with that and then a prework nap. Sounds fantastic.
I have made chocolate chip cookies so much in my life I have the recipe memorized. ^_^
3/4cup of white and brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 sticks of butter
1 tsp (but I never measure) of vanilla
2 1/4cups flour
1 teaspon of baking soda
pinch of salt (it's actually 1 tsp, but that's all I ever do)
12 oz bag of choc chips
special secret ingredients:
1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
pinch of ground clove
for something different: 1/3 cup of cocoa powder
preheat the oven to 375
Mix the dry inngredients, and start mixing the sugar and butter together. When blended add each egg, one at a time, and then the vanilla. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients. Finally add the chocolate chips and portion them out in rounded teaspoons on a cookie/baking sheet and bake for 7-11 minutes. It might be 8 instead of 7. I usually do 8. You want them to be golden brown, but don't overcook them, they just get crsipy, not soft.
I was going to make french bread pizza but that's for another day I guess. I mix cut up veggies [ tomatoes, peppers { usually yellow and orange }, red onions, and broccoli] with garlic, olive oil, dried oregano [or fresh] salt and pepper. I spread it on french bread that's been cut in half, put shredded mozz on top and put it in the oven until the cheese is melted. Next time, I think I'm going to hollow out the bread and toast it first.
Also the obligatory: I love pineapple! I had fresh fruit salad for breakfast today and I saved all my (huge chunks) of pineapple for last.
