Have I been missing cooking or what?<\/p>\n
As you may or may not know…I cook A LOT and for the past 5 weeks while we were in Asia I only had a chance to cook a couple times in Thailand and that was at the beginning of the trip. So now I am back home. <\/p>\n
I just realized today, and we have been back for a little over a day, that I must have missed cooking. We walked in the door from the airport and before I unpacked I checked my Sourdough Starter and started a fresh batch. For those that don’t know my starter had it’s 100th birthday sometime this year. Yes it is 100 years old. I have been cooking with it for…gosh…longer than I hate to think. Ok, I have had it since the mid 70’s. As a result of making the fresh starter, I have 6 loaves of bread going. I just put in the oven the Sourdough and have four more loaves of some Italian style bread to bake yet.<\/p>\n
While I was letting the bread rise I made chicken stock and have reduced it and it is cooling before I package it for the freezer. I am making Stroganoff tonight for dinner and also made some fresh Beef Stock to use tonight. Not lots just enough for this dish.<\/p>\n
The way I make Stroganoff is very slow. I prepare \/ cook things separately and then combine them and let them get happy and know the flavors.<\/p>\n
Oh and there won’t be any rice with this dish tonight. Pasta will be underneath the Stroganoff. Nothing against rice, I really like rice, but, we have had rice with almost every meal for 5 weeks now. It is time for a change.
\nThe food in Asia was fantastic, this was the best we had tasted everywhere we went. We even picked up some tricks too.<\/p>\n
Time to start the Stroganoff…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
