herbed sandwich buns / sausage patties

So I know the title gives it away but what the heck is this conglomerate of ingredients




For those following at home, there is onion, cottage cheese, and 11 herbs and spices included in this motley assortment along with the more traditional bread making igredients.

Well here is the final product



Definitely not sandwich buns,

There are 101 things that could have gone wrong, or this is the actually final product.  But I have issues.

1.  Pale white color while completely baked through and bottom is beginning to blacken.

2.  Rise.  I blame this on the 130 year old house.  Random and varying heat, draft and humdity levels depending on time, location, and location of the family ghosts.  I decided I need a proofing oven.  Come on internet give me your best.

3.  British bake off time.  I think I understand the word stodgy now.  That is the only thing I can use to describe these.  I do not have the experience of adding random groceries to bread so I am blaming on the onion and cottage cheese.  (I is probably all me, but I am blaming where I can... Remember I have no idea what these are supposed to be like).

4.  Taste.  Actually not bad.  The family actually polished off over half of these with supper.  And the rest will be gone with breakfast tomorrow if I get my act together. It amazes me that people actually are together enough before noon to regularly eat a meal.  A talent wasted on me most days.  Definitely not a sandwich bun though.  More of a stand alone dinner roll.  Not many sandwich fillings will complete with it's bold taste.


Day 2.  No picture (I went to bed last night vs. blatting out random thoughts that eventually kept me up til 3.  My fault.  Not sure this helps but is an excuse I can use.

Recipe of the day.  Sausage.

That is it.  No more.  Sausage.

Ingredients:  Sausage patties.  period  Simple I guess.

Directions:  Place sausage patties in a cold skillet and fry 15-20 minutes, turning once,

Got to love the 1930's cookbook writers.  They treat everyone either like idiots or master chefs.  There is no in between

Who knew I was doing it right all the time?

Nope I cannot say that for certain, I have no clue how long I cooked them before.  Did it this time on blind faith.

They were cooked.

Had them with eggs and last nights bread-ish thing.

Going to have to stick with Jimmy Dean... the bread overpowered these sausages.

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

Image
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 ...
