COOKING!! While we all hate the pandemic and long to be outside in the mountains, or in a nice hotel somewhere, one positive thing is the amount of new things i have learned to cook and bake. They include: Spanish style garlic shrimp Homemade Sourdough bread Vinegar from Apple peels and cores (yes! and its tasty) canned pickled onions from the garden he-man relish (also from the garden) pepper relish (same) old fashioned chow chow relish, regular and spicy (sense a theme here?) Pear jam (freezer jam which i have made before but never with pears!), Pear Ginger Jam Pear Sauce (sense another theme) Fried Green Tomatoes Recipes Refined: Home made bacon Home made smoked salmon strawberry rhubarb freezer jam peach freezer jam I will probably do some individual posts on these.
