I successfully made a custard, but there wasn’t much to tell. I got the recipe off the Argo website and I didn’t have any problem getting it to come out the right consistency. The problem was that the taste was just sweet, not much real flavor to speak of. Next time, I’ll try either adding more vanilla or some other flavoring to get it to come out better.
As for the 15 bean soup I had a similar problem. It was good, but a little bland. I added salt as I dished up, and that helped, but there wasn’t any spice…no real flavor. It was just average.
I repeated a couple of recipes this last week, so I haven’t had anything new to share. Last night, I tried a spicy rub on steak, but there wasn’t really much to say. Tonight though, is tortilla-crusted pork tenderloin, so I’ll share the outcome of that in the next post.
Daniel has decided to try out a low-carb diet, and while he’d be perfectly happy to fix himself simple stuff each night and let me cook whatever, it’s no fun cooking for one. I found a couple of low carb recipes on the internet that I’m looking forward to, but trying to avoid pasta, potatoes and most vegetables takes a lot of recipes off the table. I do have a new cookbook on the way from Amazon though, so stay tuned for more!
On a final note, I was going to try a recipe for Pumpkin Chili, but I couldn’t find any pumpkin puree! I checked at 4 different stores and no one has it. Apparently there is full fledged pumpkin shortage right now, but I think everyone is trying to keep it on the DL to avoid widespread panic.
