Good folks on Kettle Club. Nuf said.

If you need help to translate let me know. I'll be glad to help.

Thanks. But I've got google here: right-click, translate to English.

I was hoping my Prime membership would reduce the shipping. 50+ EU is hard to stomach. I'm going to call around tomorrow to see if I can find it local. Not looking promising.
 
Like 2-3 months ago, I got a pressure cooker to sterilize plates, slants, and wort, and I have used it for those things with great success.

It occurred to me the other day that I could use the pressure cooker to make - you know, food. So tonight (partly because it's mid-30s, windy and raining) I used it to make a tasty Irish-style beef stew. Man, was it tasty. It made cheap-ass stew beef melt-in-your-mouth tender, AND the pressure cooker did in 40 minutes what used to take 10-12 hours in the slow cooker. Who'da thunk.
 
No pics, but I did a chicken/smoked turkey soup last night. I had a roasted chicken carcass and a smoked turkey bone simmering all day to make stock. Smokiness of the turkey bone definitely made it into the final product.
 
Made this saucy pilaf yesterday for dinner. Didn't have any meat for it, but collards would've been perfect in it. We got a restaurant-size can of Angela Mi crushed tomatoes from the food bank that was more like a coarse puree with small chunks of tomato in it. Added 2TBSP of red pepper, 1tsp black pepper, sea salt & garlic butter paste from those small jars to simmer a bit. Then added about 2-3lbs of potatoes in a small dice with onions & a 1lb bag of brown rice. Then added cumin, two cans of blue lake green beans & two cans of corn. Stirred/simmered till done. It came out with this bright, tangy flavor. It would've matched perfectly with some burly cut collard greens if I had any. I gotta make this one again to go with bbq!

I'm wondering if that brand of crushed tomatoes had anything to do with that bright, slightly tangy flavor combining with the added ingredients? I could taste the flavor of the red pepper with just a little heat at the back of the throat. Kinda like adding a bit of vinegar without using any.
 
No more cooking coming out of my kitchen for a while because yesterday I tore out the functional part of my kitchen. Here we go to a kitchen overhaul.
May God have mercy on my soul.

We gutted our kitchen about 9 years ago, right down to the studs and joists. Said yes to every possible trim and knob and feature. $$$! But it was worth it, we spend a lot of time in that kitchen.

We handed the keys to 3 different contractors and took the family on a vacation to San Francisco during the construction, so we missed a lot of it. What a surprise when we returned :)

Yep, good luck.
