Maddie says: let’s get this class started!!
In all fairness – the teacher has been better
about starting on time!
|
|
|
|
stopped off at Wegmans before heading home
|
|
|
|
got a Truffle fix – butter, cheese & spread. mmmm
to be used later in Quesadilla making.

I had LOTS of cooking to do today
|
|
|
|
|
first task at hand was making roasted peppers
|
|
|
|
I did my peppers on the stove top =
I didn’t feel like using the outdoor grill.
|
|
|
|
this batch of roasted peppers was REALLY good.
I don’t use a recipe so they come out different
each time I make them. The “secret” is a splash
of white balsamic vinegar.
|
|
|
|
oh yeah – Shitake mushroom “bacon” –
this stuff is addicting!!
|
|
|
|
I made a batch of Canine Casserole for the dogs.
It’s a lot of work bc it involves cooking
Rice, Chicken, Carrots, Green Beans,
and this time I used Sweet Potatoes –
the dogs LOVE this!
|
|
|
|
next was my famous guacamole –
particularly tasty this time —
I don’t use a “recipe” I just go by what’s in my head
(& refrigerator!)
|
|
|
|
whipped up a batch of Sangria with wine that was awful.
Made 5 different kinds of Quesadillas:
Fresh Mozzarella with Prosciutto
Shredded Mozzarella with Roasted Peppers
Truffled Cheese with truffle spread
Truffled Cheese with shitake “bacon”
Plain shredded Mexican cheese blend
|
|
|
|
AND….. I got EVERYTHING done & crossed off
my list that I hoped to accomplish today.
YAY – I LOVE when this happens bc it is RARE!

“The true essence of humankind is kindness. There are other qualities which come from education or knowledge, but it is essential, if one wishes to be a genuine human being and impart satisfying meaning to one’s existence, to have a good heart.”
