I made a thing!

A thread for that thing you made that you want to tell us about.

Gn2Dlnd · 10-23-2011, 02:40 PM

I made a thing:

1/2 cup granola, an egg (or a 1/4 cup liquid egg product, use the kind with no seasoning), 1/4 cup milk (or almond milk, or apple juice, or, I suppose, bourbon), cinnamon to taste. Mix together in a microwave safe cereal bowl, pop into the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Top with butter and syrup. Yum.

I'm calling it Granola Bread Pudding. Today I added a bit of chopped apple, and, instead of my usual fat-free Smart-Squeeze margarine and sugar-free Mrs. Butterworth's, I used fat-free Redi-Whip whipped cream for extra bread puddingness. The other day day I added a 1/2 a mushy banana. So far, I haven't made a bad version.

Bacon may only be served as a side. The addition of bacon to the pudding itself would result in mushy bacon. Which would be unfortunate.

I made a thing, but I flushed it.

Actually, I tried my hand at drying hot peppers. I want to get a food dehydrator, but for now I needed to preserve my crop. I just made a mash by grinding them up in a food processor with vinegar and salt. I use them for my hot sauces, which a blazing hot BTW!

So now I'll be grinding them up into a powder. I have red habenero, orange habenaro, tepin, arbol, serano, and jalapenio- all of which I let ripen to red. The worst part of the drying process was the toxic air which burns the eyes!!

My cousin dries them by cutting off the bottom tip and hanging them by the stem over the edge of something. If you have a bunch, you'd have to tie them up or something.

Yeah, I thought about doing that. But I'm in too much of a hurry, worried about mold, and couldn't find a good place to hang them that the cats wouldn't get to them.

I'm going to get a food hyrator.

Yes but that won't do any good. You're going to need a DEhydrator

OMG! Hyrator? That sounds like Scooby Do!

Today I made Ravioli. Cheese and spinach filled with tomato sauce. From scratch.

And I mean scratch! I grew the tomatos to make the sauce. I used flour and eggs to make the pasta, put the filling in, and cut them with a round ravioli press.

Oh, and I made sourdough bread from scratch and used it to make the garlic bread.

About the only thing I didn't do was grow the wheat and mill it myself, and milk the cows to make the cheese.
