I still had some tart pastry left over from the apple turnovers from last night, and it was actually better today than it was yesterday. I rolled this out thin and lined a couple of ramikins, cut some circles for the top, and stuck it in the fridge to keep the dough from melting anymore.
I started by caramelizing onions, and soaking some porcini mushrooms in hot water. Added a small amount of dry white wine once the onions were done caramelizing. Then I added some basic soup veggies, carrots cut into sticks, potatoes, celery sliced, mushrooms sliced and some dinosaur kale. Sliced up the re-hydrated porcinis and put the mushroom water in with some thyme and a bay leaf. Salt and Pepper.
I finally covered and sealed up the ramikins with the top circles that I made. Brushed the tops with a egg/cream mixture and baked the pies at 350 for 1 hour.
I guess I didn't seal them good enough because they started leaking about 20 minutes in. I had to stick a pan underneath them to catch the soup. really not so good at this baking stuff.
Mac and Cheese.
This was sort of a make shift side dish. I wanted to make a side of something, and its been about a week since I last made mac and cheese so I thought I'd make use of those apples my parents gave me. The only issue was that all I had was cream and no milk. I ended up busting out the dry non fat milk I use for white bread along with the heavy cream... I probably should've used more butter and flour in retrospect but it came out okay. I used some sharp cheddar and parmesan.
On another note, my roommate just came back from Napa and said she had Mac and Cheese with Gorgonzola and Truffles. Not fair.
Angel Food Cake
I finally saved up enough egg whites. I laced it with some orange-blossom water. My cake came out too cakey, maybe I needed to get more air into it when whisking. It still tasted great.
