This is an extraordinary pot roast.  I was thinking about our trip to Portugal and remembering some of the fabulous meals we enjoyed, hence the Port, the oranges and the cherries.  This seemed like just the thing to use for our Zoom dinner with friends to celebrate getting the vaccine.  Everything is relative and one has to find joy in the little things.

I was flying around the InterWebs and ran across a reference to Apple Fritter Bread, and I thought it sounded wonderful…but that one was a quick bread.  I wanted a yeast bread and then I found one.  So I took to my handy-dandy roll recipe and made a change here and there, so here we are!  This dough is pillowy soft and somewhat sticky, but a dream to work with.  I takes a bit longer for it to raise, because it’s both rich and sweet.  You know, good things!

Sweet Corn-Zucchini-Red Pepper Relish

06 Sunday Sep 2020

≈ 7 Comments

Tags

arrowroot, bell pepper, cider vinegar, Corn, onion, plum tomatoes, Spices, tomato paste, white sugar, zucchini

“The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye”, so the song goes.  It’s the perfect time to make a little corn relish.  The zucchini are still bearing, the peppers are starting to bear and the corn…oh God, the corn!  It’s so delicious fresh, but it’s nice to have a few jars of corn relish tucked away for later.  Continue reading →

Spiced Peach-Nectarine Pie

arrowroot, butter, heavy cream coarse sugar, lemon juice, nectarine, peach schnapps, Peaches, Spices, sugar

Fresh peach pie tends to disappoint me.  It never seems to do justice to the flavor of a fresh, fabulous peach.  It’s a bias I have, but I’m working on it.  And that’s when I decided that maybe if I used part nectarines, I might be happier with the end result.  Yes! Continue reading →

arrowroot, bay leaves, beef base paste, beef broth, browned ground beef, celery leaves, dried mushrooms, onion, pearled barley, sun-dried tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce

It’s chilly here in North Carolina.  I think chillier than last year at this time.  And that makes it perfect soup weather.  And there’s something so comforting, and well, soul-warming about beef-barley soup.  Get out the soup spoons and the good bread.  Continue reading →

Sunday Dinner Rump Roast with Onion GravyNothing says Sunday dinner like a nice hunk of roast beef, right?  Some good gravy, roasted or mashed potatoes, maybe some green beans, asparagus, carrots or rutabaga…these, however will only be bit players.  It’s all about the meat.  Now, doesn’t that just scream “Sunday dinner, call the kids”?    Continue reading →

Salisbury Steak with Mushroom, Onion and Caper SauceSalisbury Steak is just a lovely way of saying that we’re looking at a thick hamburger “steak” with gravy.  And I’m all over that.  I hate those thick burgers, that in order to eat them you have to unhinge your jaw, like a python.  I always eat those types of burgers with a knife and fork anyway, so why not add some terrific gravy?  Continue reading →

Stone Fruit Pie with Streusel Topping It’s stone fruit season…you know the fruits that have a single pit (seed) in the center of the fruit?  All the various, and there are quite a number, of varieties of apricots, peaches, plums, and nectarines, are stone fruits.  And this time of year, there’s nothing better than biting into a perfectly ripe peach or nectarine, except maybe biting into a nice piece of pie!   Continue reading →
