I was taking stock of my goals and see which ones still look reasonable. The one that I am thinking (obsessing?) about right now is my goal to try 100 new recipes. This is one that I would be most proud of if I could accomplish it. But I am a wee bit behind. So, I decided to take matters into my own time and have sort of a marathon cooking session. That said, it’s not like I am just cooking things just for the heck of it, which was never the intention of the goal. The goal is intended to keep me trying new things.
But what is a marathon cooking? 7 recipes this weekend. Well, maybe that’s more like a 10k.
1 . Banana Bread Yeasted Waffles 2. Bloody Mary 3. Liver and Onions 4. Buffalo Chicken Dip 5. A Tasty Fritatta 6. Rhubarb Buttermilk Cake 7. Onion Marmalade.
If you think that the Bloody Mary recipe is stretching it, take a look at it. It involved a lot of chopping, some boiling, some pureeing, etc. This was not a case of mixing and mixing alone.
I would NOT make the Buffalo Chicken Dip again. I would definitely make the Rhubarb Buttermilk Cake again, only I would make sure I baked it long enough. I would make the onion marmalade over and over and over again.
But, now I’m back on schedule. I just have to try 2 new recipes a week to meet my goal!
