Firstly, I threw together some Coconut Green Curry Noodles, like the ones I had in Seattle. They were vegan... I wanted to make sure my peeps were taken care of.
- half can of green curry paste,
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 carrot sliced
- 1 orange bell sliced
- half a can of pineapples
- fermented black beans mashed with a little brown sugar
- oil infused with some red chilis and garlic
- toasted peanuts, chopped
- green onion
- 1 package of chow fun sized noodles
Second, I wanted to make a house favorite. Mac and Cheese. It was penne, a nice gorg cut with parm and oregon white truffles.
Last, Mint Chip Ice Cream. Its my roommate Mike's machine. So attempt number 2 was successful, I learned that putting in a teaspoon of alcohol (i went with macallan) will keep the ice cream from getting too hard.
Quick Instructions:
De-leaf 3 bunches of mint and soak in 2 cups half and half heated to before boiling,
let stand 30 mins, then bring back to just before boiling and steep another 15 minutes. strain the infused cream, mix 2/3 cup of sugar and 1 cup of cream until it all comes together. slowly mix cream into 6 beaten egg yolks, then heat and whisk until the cream coats the back of a spoon. let cool. stick it in an ice cream maker as directed. add chocolate chips. tsp. whiskey.
There was a lot of great food at our house tonight, we some how managed to fit like 10 cooks in the kitchen. Fun.
Not the most interesting blog... pot luck menus are so pot luck you know.
I'm going to whip up something floral soon, it's going to be hit or miss i'm sure. we are approaching the dead of winter and of course i want some flowers... i'm weird. but i gotta cut back on all this heavy food.
