Changed my mind.
-Fish, potatoes lyonnaise, peas.

The potatoes are a Williams Sonoma recipe. I peeled mine tho.
Love 'em!

Homemade tartar sauce too.

You're welcome, Lucky.

Ha! I don't know when I'll ever get to the spaghetti.
We've been at Sophie's helping take down the tree, lights from outside, etc..
She made us a wonderful ham and bean soup with corn cakes.
:readytoeat:

Q: . . . the vodka sauce thing . . .
some time back I tripped over an article with the headline (approx, as I can recall it...) Seven Vodkas You Should Have on the Shelf."
and I thought who and why does who needs seven different vodkas on the shelf?
which lead me to research/read up on vodkas.
basically vodka is grain alcohol and water....which would be highly tasteless.
now, the distilling process does not get all the stuff that makes for flavor / aroma out, so they do have a taste / smell.... but the good ones, not a lot.


so the Q: is what does the vodka bring to the party in a tomato cream sauce?


btw, Tito's is currently leading my research for 'really some good stuff'.....
hmmm, wonder if I can get a government grant to continue my research?

From my recent trip to Idaho- Here is two vodka's that are a must to be on the shelf. 1st of all- 44 North is Gluten Free & Made from Potato's. Both the Huckleberry & Vanilla Vodka's are fantastic. http://44northvodka.com/vodkas/gluten-free-mountain-huckleberry-flavored-vodka/

veddy interestink . . .
makes sense - many of the "extracts" are alcohol based . . .



I see "Vodka Sauce" on the shelf - wonder if it's made with artificial alcohol....


I'm in PA - we have state liquor stores only.... brands like 44North never get here...

that I can try . . .


I think I'll save the serious experimenting for garden fresh tomatoes. using a good vodka on wooden tomatoes would be a real waste!

Thanks! :heart:
I had a banana and then some cottage cheese yesterday.
Feeling much better today!
Not sure what that was, but dayum!

I'll go easy on the foodstuffs today and see how my appetite progresses.

OK all- Lucky and I both love our Pinto Beans, but we differ on the preparation.
To soak or not to soak overnight. I haven't soaked overnight in over ten years. Here is my backup. https://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-dd-dont-soak-dried-beans-20140911-story.html
