  • I cooked the most amazing things today !!

    So, i went a little crazy with the cooking today... some people might call it procrastination, but I honestly think that thesis can go ahead and write itself...

    I hadnt really cooked in about 3 week, mostly reheated...

    I went to the farmer's market, and made a million things. I cooked some spinach, roasted a few heads of garlic, sliced and marinated some beef.

    I tried a bunch of new recipes...
    I made 2 bacon-cheeseburger-tomato-basil quiches. what a mouthful! oh, and i threw in some spinach for extra veggies. it was great, i couldnt even taste the spinach..

    I made the most amazing cheesecake I've ever baked... creeeeeeeeeeeeeamy! and the taste was perfect!

    i wanted to try to make a custard, and it was also incredible. the only problem was, that i ended up with 2 incredible desserts, so i gotta see about portion control... you can see from my pictures, that they've both already suffered from some corner-nibbling... soooooooo good!

    and I roasted some yummy popcorn caulifower and eggplant slices. excelent!

    oh, and a nice batch of curry chicken....

    let it never be said that I don't exxagerate! Im gonna have to freeze most of this, or i'll never make it!

    since I'm feeling so accomplished and proud, I went ahead and took pictures... here's a peek for you!

        yeah, I was really busy!
        kept myself entertained for a long while!
        perfect excuse for ignoring that annoying thesis

        i used this recipe http://users3.ev1.net/~fontlady/moms_cheese_pie.html and it tastes very different from the other ones I've made... so creamy! oh, and i added a little lemon juice, came out perfect
        oh, and now that i think about it, i baked it differently, inside a container with water, maybe that made it creamier...

          Did you use the powdered splenda in that or the liquid? That does look like a good recipe. Thanks for the link.

          And stop avoiding that thesis. LOL!

                I printed off the cheesecake recipe so I can try it too. It all looks good!!! I should do stuff like that on Sunday so I have stuff to eat all week long and don't have to worry about and could save eating out money too.

                    I like your pic barb!

                    yeah, i like make-ahead stuff..... since it's just me in the house right now, i get too lazy to cook for just myself... If i dont have something to nuke quickly i dont eat well!

                    you just inspired me... maybe i'll start a post about freeze-ahead meals...

                            I was amazed at how easy it is to make custard... it took me less than 5 minutes to mix it!!
                            eggs, cream, splenda, go!

                            I think i baked it for about 45 min in a casserole dish. i put it inside another one w water. it was so easy!
