Amaretto Sour

OK.

First I want every one to know, I have been experimenting.  I have been cooking, I have been blogging.  I just haven't been linking to the book of faces.

Why?

The recipes have been soooooooo boring.

 That is going to be the death of me, not some fuju spam gelatin covered noodle mold with eggplant, but a run of recipes where the word "blah" is too descriptive.

So that brings me to tonight's russian bullet.  An Amaretto Sour.



I know this recipe.  I have made multiple versions of this, but this one seems kind of excessive on the sour.

There are usually 3 ways to "sour" a drink.
                       1.  Add Lemon-Lime soda (LAAAAAAAZZZZZZZY)
                       2. Buy actual sour mix - just as lazy but better tasting
                     3. Mix lemon and lime juice with the sugar amount of choice and make your own sour (preferred)

This recipe calls for all 3.

All 3???  Am I going to even taste the amaretto?  I am even breaking out the homemade stuff for this

This has so much potential to go wrong, I am dreading the first sip.

Ummm, this is amazing.  Best amaretto sour yet.  I will probably not be throwing away the remainder of the purchased sour liquid.  This will be my night cap until the next comes around.  Or I am out of homemade amaretto.

It is the start of cheesy monster movie month.  My nights are booked until All Saint's

Double Chip Cookies and StarWars

I just realized I will never get rid of all of my recipes unless I ratchet things up a bit.  My budget is $140 a week (Hey most of it doubles as supper/food/medication, can you say that about your hobbies/distractions)  so I figure I will try to see if I can get up to 12 a week done instead of just 7 as long as they stay in budget after 7. Today worked for a 2-fer Starting with Double Chip Cookies Got to love these community made cookbooks.  This (according to recipe) was ripped off of the Robin Hood flour bag.  It is a basic chocolate chipper with a handful of pb chips to make it a DOUBLE CHIP.  But the instructions. No vanilla or chocolate chips in the ingredients, but listed in the instructions along with dates. Who puts dates in chocolate chip cookies?  nope.  Will improvise on the vanilla but the dates are out. Created something even the daughter might eat.  (She didn't, boyfriends mom made cookies too) Second Recipe STAR W...

Garden Chowder

It is October, and the farmer's markets are beginning to be limited to gourds and cabbages.  Which isn't a problem per se, but this recipe is about 3 weeks too late.  Thankfully all are available and not overly expensive at HyVee. Had to be careful this time as the spouse is skeletonizing leaves in bicarb in my prep space.  Not sure how alkaline maple leaves would taste in a chowder, but from what I've been able to evade so far in the recipe roulette, it would not be surprising.  From smell alone, maybe pair with a runny cheese. So back to the chowder.  If I follow the advise from the last 5 dietitians that consult with me, it is a little pale.  But it is cream based so, stick it ladies, it is going to be pale. Dished up it looks a bit better (strategically ground pepper to contrast...) and yes in our house we each get a mini-loaf of bread with any soup...  Dr. Atkins can rot in his grave. I didn't mention much as we ate (first time at...

scalloped ham and corn casserole

I finally get some food. Don't get me wrong, I always appreciate a good nightcap, but I was running low on leftovers. This one could be interesting.  It is too simple.  So simple of course I get myself in trouble not reading directions.  Want to get the food done by 730, cooks for an hour.  So brain says start at 6:15. Except reading more closely once I started, it called for 3 cups of "cooked" potatoes.  Well looks like we will be eating DURING the Godzilla marathons tonight.  (Cheesy movies take priority).  I can live with that. Well other than that there was no complications.  And you end up with this trust me there is ham and corn in there somewhere. This is a completely edible concoction, actually quite good, except both Brandy and I were torn. We couldn't help thinking we should pan fry and add a poached egg on top of this hash. Too bad the whole thing was consumed before we could try it tomorrow. So a success ...
