Strider Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 A big bowl of split pea soup and a glass of California Zinfandel. Cakebread Cellars 2010. With October and the cooler crisp weather of autumn at last arriving at Southern California's doorstep (although it can never be mistaken for a New England autumn), it is prime time for conjuring up soups. Bring out the beans, lentils, veggies, soup stocks and bones. I like to make a big pot to last me through the week. I had a bag of split peas laying around and whipped up a pot earlier today. Threw in a nice big ham hock and a pinch of curry powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why Strider's post showed up twice. My notebook is extremely sensitive. Anyway, what do you put in your tuna salad, Strider?. It is probably something very exotic. I just use the tuna in the bag and dump Hellman's mayo on it, a little sea salt, and chopped onion. Quite yummy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 ^^^ Nothing exotic. Either Hellman's or Best Foods is my mainstay mayonnaise for tuna salad. On occasion I will use Miracle Whip, especially when I'm feeling nostalgic...loved Miracle Whip as a kid. Some relish, chopped onion, sea salt or Himalayan salt, and lemon pepper, mix it all up and I'm good to go. For the tuna, I use strictly white albacore packed in water, no oil.

Whoopie Cat Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Black rice pudding. Which is not really a pudding, but more like a plate of blackish purple mush. I love this stuff though .... and it's even good for me. I simmer it in water with a couple of kaffir lime leaves, a star anise, 2 cardimon pods, scraped vanilla bean seeds and a little brown sugar, then add coconut milk after it's reduced and cooked.

Oh Joy C. A fusion between Thai and Indonesian. Sounds yummy. Kaffir lime is one of my all time fav herbs. Last evening was a re heat of the Lamb Rogan Josh we had at the weekend. I added a sweet Potato to bulk it out and had a couple of Chapattis. It was still hot and well spicy. I recommend Rick Steins India book which I am ploughing through with gusto. I have already used 2 packets of Kashmiri chilli powder. SPICY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillumpuffer Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 A slice of Mrs CP's fruit loaf with a smearage of butter and a very tall mug of PG . Deelish. Dinner this evening: Cumberland snag "Toad in the Hole" coupled with Savoy Cabbage and red onion gravy. As it is Wednesday a glass or 3 of Rioja and a smoke.
