Me too, never ironed anything either, except some dollars before going to cambodia,  Mrs was too busy doing my  packing, obviously,.and then she had the washing up to take care of.   So I selflessly broke the habit of a lifetime to help her out No big deal it was a one off emergency, 

Too soft...thin edge of the wedge.....get a grip.

Went to Makro yesterday and got some of those pastry puffs. 

Today Taco ground beef with grated cheddar cheese and home made Hot Sauce  

Not the prettiest but taste good

Tomorrow pizzaroles or are they called Pizzaronis?   (Tomato sauce cheese and pepperoni)

We do calzone / stromboli once in a while, but use pizza dough.

I make hummus all the time too. Thai eggplant is great for making baba ganoush as well. Absolutely delicious with carrot sticks. I broil the olive oil brushed eggplant at maybe 160-170 C until caramelized. 

 

 

LOL, think this is baba ganoush, but might be hummus. Travel snack.

 

 

Dude, buy you a roll of baking paper...

That is not a bad idea!! 

I have not made them for a long time. It is funny how we make things we like and then we forget about them for a long time until we are reminded.

Especially if you've ever tried to make PP, as that's a work out.   Saw the other version, and almost got, but not individually wrapped.

The eggplant is broiled  - not baked - at relatively low temperature, and coated with olive oil which prevents sticking. Google tells me: "some parchment papers are treated with toxic PFAS or bleached with chlorine..." and "...is coated with a thin layer of silicone." I'm gonna take a pass, but thanks for the suggestion.

So keep scubbing that tray, makes me no nevermind. 

A bit chilly today here in Khon Kaen and fighting a bit of the flu, with sore throat and stuffed up nose. 

So what better time to make chicken soup.

Celery , and onions sauteed  water and a bunch of chicken parts , boiled for over an hour until the meat was falling off the bone, 

Removed the bones and skin , and return the meat in the pan

added a cup of rice, , not too much or you will make it too thick, just enough to give it a bit of body and texture. 

Thickened the broth with an egg and lemon mix.

This part is critical to follow instructions otherwise you will make egg drop soup .It is not difficult. 

Whisk two eggs, then whisk the juice  two lemons in the with the eggs, 

While the soup is simmering, With a ladle spoon take a little bit of the soup liquid and whisk it with the lemon egg mix while whisking. continue adding soup liquid slowly into the lemon/egg mix while whisking slowly bringing the temperature of the lemon/egg mix up closer to the soup you are going to pour it in.

It takes about 10 min.  (you don't want to pure the mix in the soup while it is cold, otherwise you will cook the egg and make egg-drop soup. LOL 

In explaining it it sounds a lot more complicated than it is  Just take your time and slowly bring up the temperature of the lemon.egg mix up by whisking in soup liquid You be glad you did , 

It is the ultimate comfort food. Every time I make it I always overeat

Wife makes a great pumpkin curry dish, How does your wife make it?

Tomatoes from the garden are coming in hot and heavy, not sure what to do with all of them. Gave many to the neighbors and been eating tomato salads every day, 

With some of the bigger ones I  made stuffed Tomatoes, 

  Hollow the inside of the tomatoes with a spoon.  and a few bell peppers because you will end up with more stuffing than tomatoes. 

 Place the meat of the tomatoes in a food process, with a large onion and fill. Process to the consistency of salsa  

  Place contents of processor in large bowl mix 500 grams of ground beef  or pork (preference)  and mix well until you don't have large chunks of meat. 1.5 cup of rice , olive oil , salt pepper to taste and mix with a spoon well. 

Fill tomatoes , and Peppers  . remaining filling if ant in the spaces between tomatoes and peppers, 

Cover with tinfoil. Bake 350 for 40 min

then remove tin foil and bake for another 15 min until it starts to get a bit brown on top. 

 

Also had a bunch of bananas that were starting to get ripe and brown spots. 

So I made banana bread with walnuts and raisins, 

The neighbors will eat well today LOL.

Tomato soup, and you can always make tomato puree and freeze it. 

 

Tuna stuffed raw tomato are nice, and nothing wrong with tomato-onion salads or sandwiches.

I did not see your respond that time sorry. By the way I love cooking.

Ended up going out for the day, so we did not have pumpkin soup, but I got enough pumpkin in the freezer for five batches. 

 

I'd get some of those pastry-doughs from Makro and make pumpkin tarts but with the kid off at school, I'd just eat them all.

How many doughs in a pack?

At the Makro in Khon Kaen they had two kind the one mentioned in this thread and butter dough pastry ,

They were inexpensive enough so I got one of each, 

They both contained 12 pieces each. 

I have already used all of the butter dough  pastry  

It was very good, with the last four pieces, as suggested by someone in this thread (Might had been you)  I made chicken  quesadillas, They were very good!!
