So you'll all laugh
May. 18th, 2020 08:52 pmDespite having 36 34 pounds of butter in the deep freezer, when I saw butter was on sale at $1.50 per pound via PeaPod I decided to order another four pounds. We will eat it.
Also, two weeks ago after my grocery delivery I went to walk the dogs and saw that the house around the corner was having their delivery just after mine, and today it was the same thing, and even though I don't know those people and have never even seen them I feel so connected because we're apparently on the same schedule when it comes to grocery shopping.
I also managed to snag lox, so yay. Next time though I'm getting lox AND fresh salmon and trying to make my own, which has got to be more economical if I have room in my fridge.
Jenn's kombucha making has taken over the entire downstairs kitchen*, which I now refer to as "the stillroom" unless the dogs are dirty in which case it reverts to being "the dog washing station". Ana is trying to make rice milk. I just shoved a jar of soon-to-be half sours down there, and in frustration with this enormous head of cabbage taking up space in my fridge I'm either making kimchi or sauerkraut tonight. Also, the bread experiments continue, more or less. And Jenn grew mushrooms from a kit. They sprouted up like mushrooms, it was so cool even though I wouldn't eat them if I was starving. (She also has sprouts.)
What other mad gastronomy should we consider? I am open to any suggestions! Recipes appreciated.
Also also also if anybody has any idea how we can replace the oven element in our attic oven (yes, we have one of those too) that's great - we tried, but it didn't stay in place, which is an obvious hazard so the oven element is now on top of the stove and we really want that oven to work. It's definitely the right part.
* Remember, this is technically a two family house. Thank goodness, too, it means we have an extra sink and an overflow fridge. But not an extra bathroom. That's on the list.
