December recipes
I posted on my resolutions a while ago, but didn't list the completed recipes as I had forgotten my list at work. It was a busy month on the cooking front, so herewith the results:
8 - General Tsao's chicken (randomly chosen recipe off the internet. The girl liked it so I'll probably make it again, even though it is messy and time-consuming - not to mention fried!)
14 - cranberry and chocolate chip scones (another random recipe from the internet, inspired by similar scones I got served at a meeting that week. I will probably make them again, when I happen to have dried cranberries and chocolate chips in the house. I was very glad to overcome my fear of making scones).
15 - rice oriental (Vegetarian Gourmet Cookery, a book I inherited from Adric, a friend who passed away more than 25 years ago. This is the first time I have used this particular cookbook. Quite a nice, spicy recipe).
16 - Bali Hai steak kew (I think I spotted this on some vintage recipe site, or maybe in one of my old cookbooks. I liked it, but the girl wasn't crazy about it)
17 - Oriental Pork (Chatelaine Quickies - this remains one of my go-to cookbooks, for good reason).
21 - potato latkes (a Jewish cookbook that came as part of a set, also from Adric, I think. Not nearly as much work as I had feared, since I broke out the food processor to grate the potatoes. I had far too many for my little family, though).
23 - onion dip from scratch (Alton Brown, foodnetwork.com), roasted chicken with preserved lemons (New York Times Cooking website). I had run out of cheap onion soup mix, and this was pretty good (especially with the latkes), but S wasn't crazy about the onion chunks. The roasted chicken was dead easy, since it was essentially "stuff the chicken with the preserved lemons your sister made as a Christmas gift last year, then bake".
24 - horse treats (from a website full of recipes for horse treats - a winner as all the horses at the barn were happy with treats made of molasses and oats), Pam Laviolette's butterscotch/peanut butter no-bake cookies (yum!), Chipits Tiger Bars (from the Chipits bag).
26 - Asian Turkey Salad (Company's Coming Recipes for Leftovers - G loved this so much he stole the container to take to Toronto, and lost the container of course)
