Food and Recipes while under Coronavirus quarantine #3

[killarney rose]

There are indeed many ways to make them. The different ways seem to vary by region. Here in LA(lower AL) we just have deboned chicken and super thin dumplin’s in a thick liquid stock . I have joked that the older the cook is, the thinner her dumplin’s will be.

the recipe from Southern Bite is very similar to what I’m talking about.

It’s in the oven. I didn’t have 2 cans of blueberry pie filling so I washed up frozen blueberries. Maybe 1 1/2 cups and tossed them on top. I only used half a stick of butter instead of 2/3 cup. Hoping it won’t be dry and taste ok. Stay tuned.

Thank you. I already have chicken and veggies prepped, but next time I want to make a chicken dish, I will try to replicate the Southern Bite recipe. I'm not good with dough, so I will probably opt for Bisquick Dumplings that I drop onto the bubbling stew by tablespoonsful. They come out light and airy. I'm afraid if I tried to make the dainty dumplings in that recipe, they'd come out like lead

Next time you have a box cake mix, you could make this: Better than Sex Cake - Tastes Better From Scratch

Truth be told, I got the recipe from someone at church

it’s a good thing I’m not a fan of them, they are a lot of trouble to make.

Well. I’m thinking dump cake should not be on my skill set. It looks awful, smells ok. It must not have had enough fluid. The cake mix was still powder. So I added more butter and drizzled milk on top. That didn’t do much. So I mixed it up thinking it may be salvageable. Probably not.

Too bad!

I haven't made this cake in years, but I remember it being very rich and delicious

I read earlier today that January 27 - my birthday - is National Chocolate Cake Day. I will be searching for a decadent chocolate cake recipe to bake for my birthday later this month. Maybe I can find a cake recipe that is made with those chocolate marzipan candies named for Mozart with whom I share my birthday

I make this because it comes out great with gluten free flour. My youngest couldn't eat any dairy for a few years and I would get the special whipped topping in a can or the nondairy ice cream for her. It was one of the few desserts she could eat. It's very rich and is best warm.

you need to take the steamed vegetable, sit at a table with a "scrap bowl" and peel each leaf off- you dip it in "dip" and scrape the fat inner end of the leaf off in your mouth... it is not exactly pretty and would not work in a fine dining establishment. by the time you get to that "ring part" in the middle, it seems like so much compared to the little bits that have come off the base of each leaf. the stem part might also be soft enough to eat if it is not too woody.

I love artichokes - they're a member of the thistle family - I usually get them when they are on sale at Publix

My "throwbacks" are Chicken Divan, Beef Stroganoff, and Chicken Paprikash. Our favorite throwback is a can of Hormel Chili with a bag of Minute Rice. We enjoyed this sumptuous dinner many times when we were first married. I was teaching and taking classes while DH worked full time and finished his Master's. We didn't have time or energy to cook.

How cool that I stumbled across this post tonight.
We made Chicken Paprikash yesterday and had left overs tonight. I looked for Sweet Hungarian Paprika in the local super market early in the week to find they only carried smoked paprika. Thankfully, we had enough for this weekends recipe still on hand. I will need to place an Amazon order to restock the Sweet Hungarian Paprika.

Or a Sacher torte, Bette? That would be beyond me but I'm sure you could do it.

I use a combination of sweet, spicy, and smoked paprika in my paprikash. The Szeged brand is the best.

Thank you for suggesting this! I will look at recipes and see if I am up to the task of making this world-famous chocolate cake. I also like the German Chocolate Cake with coconut-pecan topping or Black Forest Torte with cherries and whipped cream. Flourless chocolate cake is nice, too. So many decadent and delicious choices

My husband and I generally cooked at home before COVID but we are almost 100% eating at home now.

I made what I call 'French Onion Chicken' last night and it was so good.

I sweat down onions with butter and caramelized them for quite a while, add a little worcestershire (sp?) sauce, beef stock, minced garlic, sherry and a little fresh thyme. Sear chicken breast in olive oil. Transfer to baking dish, top with grated Swiss or Gruyere cheese and then the onion mixture over that. Bake at 350 for about 10-15 until the cheese is bubbly.

We're having brined, grilled pork chops with asparagus and scalloped potatoes tonight.

Thinking I might make some cheese enchiladas tomorrow if I can get myself motivated for that.

Gruyere cheese can still be called gruyere even if not from Switzerland, judge rules (nbcnews.com)

The U.S. Dairy Export Council and other groups opposed the trademark protection claim filed by a consortium of Swiss and French cheesemakers.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Gruyere cheese does not have to come from the Gruyere region of Europe to be sold under the gruyere name, a federal judge has ruled.

A consortium of Swiss and French cheesemakers from the region around the town of Gruyeres, Switzerland, sued in U.S. District Court in Virginia after the federal Trademark Trials and Appeals Board denied an application for trademark protections.

The consortium said gruyere — often a mild, smooth-melting cheese that’s a favorite for fondues — has been made to exacting standards in the region since the early 12th century and cheese made outside the region can’t truly be called gruyere, similar to the argument that champagne can be only be applied to sparkling wines from the Champagne region of France...

Really? Taking cheese to court? Gruyere pairs nicely with an indicted ham sandwich
