Potato pottage

Here comes something simple. A lot of people don't like pottage... they'll like it whe time beats out their teeth :P

Ingredients:

• Broth
• Potatoes
• Onions
• Fat/Cooking oil
• Flour
• Sour cream
• Salt, pepper, paprika spice

Directions:

Peel the potatoes and slice them up. Cook them in the broth - that can be some leftovers from yesterday, or made from bouillon cubes. If they softened up, clean the onions, cut them up, then fry them on a bit of fat or cooking oil. Take it off the fireplace, and mix it with flour, and if we want to add a bit of colour to the pottage, some paprika spice. Stir it until it's free of batches, then add it to the potatoes. Mix in some sour cream (pour a bit of the pottage on it first to have it warm up), add salt and pepper according to your taste.

The picture... has been forgotten. Aside from that, have a nice meal, and see you next time!

Eszterházy style... stew

I have been returned xD! And I brought something with a fancy name and a surprisingly easy making method. I know, originally this should be with sirloin slices, but it's easier to make this way, and the family loves the small stripes better than the full slices.

Ingredients:

• Meat! Beef sirloin, or whatever you have in the freezer...
• Carrots
• Parsley
• Celery
• Parsley leaves
• Bay leaf
• Onion
• Cooking oil
• White wine
• Water
• Sour Cream
• Flour
• Mustard
• Lemon juice
• Sugar
• Salt, pepper
• Pasta

Directions:

Thaw the meat (this time you can use the microwave), and cut it up to stripes or dices. Salt them and roast them on a bit of oil. They don't need to become soft, just until the pink colour disappears. While you're doing (or before, or after) peel and cut up the onions. Fry them on a bit of oil. Then add in the meat, and pour water and white wine into the pot, just enough to cover the meat (if you add more, the stew will be thinner). Put in a bay leaf, and let it cook.
Peel the carrots, the pasley and the celery (how much of each is up to your taste) then cut them to small pieces or toothpicks. Fry them on a bit of oil, and sprinke them with salt, pepper, and chopped parsley leaves.
If the meat is softened up, mix the sour cream with a bit of flour. Pour some of the stew on it, to have it warm up, then mix it into the stew. Mix in the vegetables, and add a bit (tiny bit) of sugar, mustard and lemon juice. You can adjust the salt and pepper levels if you need to, then boil it to complete.
Cook some pasta for the side dish. Officially it's macaroni, and as it turns out, I have some at home XD

Well, it is pasta, so... cheese?
(Looks around if Mom's watching in angry way. Yup, she does.)

Ok, no cheese this time either... for me :(

You can eat it the way you want, and see you next time!

Forced rest

You must have noticed (seriously, is there anyone who actually read what I put up here or you just randomly wander in?) that there aren't any new post since a week. The reason is simple: I was preparing for the Brave Souls Warhammer 40000 tournament (got an ugly beating there) and in the meantime I exhausted all my HP. I'll be in the drydock for a while, but I'll be back as soon as I can...

Cottage cheese csusza

After those great experiments, I just wanted to make something simple. Here you go.

Ingredients:

• Pasta (square, long, whichever you like)
• Cottage cheese
• Bacon
• Sour cream
• Salt

Directions:

Cut the bacon into small cubes (0,5-1 cm) and roast them until they leak their fat. Cook the pasta in salty water, and add half of the bacon's juice to the water too. Mash the cottage cheese, and mix the sour cream with salt and the rest of the bacon juice. Coland the pasta, mix it with the cottage cheese, 2/3 of the bacon and 2/3 of the sour cream, then put it into a buttered pan or heatproof bowl. Pour the remaining sour cream on top of the mix and level it, then scatter the remaining bacon on top. Put it into an oven on 200°C for about half an hour or until it's starting to get golden.

And as I said, every pasta is better with cheAUUUUUUUCH!!!!!
(Mom smash Duci's hand. Duci agonizing.)

Okay, leave the cheese out this time... Luckily this requires only one fork (and one hand) for consumption...

Have a nice meal, see you next time!

Seedsman Slice

Another report from the lab, this time with a bit more daring inventions. And why have I named it Seedsman-slice?
Because I can.

Ingredients:

• Pork loin
• Eggs
• Onion
• Cooking oil
• Salt, pepper
• Flour
• Breadcrubs
• Hulled sunflower seeds
• Side dish

Directions:

Thaw the meat! (the method was already explained earlier) Slice it, tenderize it with a hammer until it's thin and spread, rub the slices with salt and a bit pepper, then let them draw it in. Meanwhile, make an omlette with lots of onion (out of one egg for each two slices). Spread about 1-1,5 tablespoons of omlette on one side of the slices, then fold the other side on top of it. Bread it (the egg will make a nice sealing) with the sunflower seeds mixed into the breadcrubs. Fry them and serve them. The current side dish is french fries. You can have it with picles or tartar sauce on the side.

Experiment: Success.
Have: a nice meal.
See you: next time.

Layered Camembert

Welcome to the hellish laboratory that I simply call: The Kitchen. Based on my original idea, here comes a delicious abomination.
(If anyone recognize it an existing, legitimate recipe, tell me down below, so I can correct it.)

Ingredients:

• Camembert (one small roll for a single ration)
• Apple
• Flour
• Eggs
• Breadcrubs
• Side dish (any one will do)
• Optionally, sauce (not any one, but you have some choice)

Directions:
Slice up the apple into disks and cut out the middle. If you don't like it, you can cut off the peel too. Slice up the cheeses to disks too (I did them into three disks each, but more skilful folks can do even more... or less, if you don't like thick things :P ) Reassemble the cheeses, with a slice of apple between each cheese disks. Bread them (you know: cover it with flour, then beaten-up eggs, then breadcrubs) twice, and don't spare the stuff, the cheese is suspectible of escaping), then fry them. Serve them with any side dish you like - I made rice - and cranberry or tartar sauce on the side.

Don't think you're safe, I have many more ideas like this! So I'll be back, Muhahaha!

The Seventh Element

Sorry, today's post is only presented in hungarian, mostly because it's made for hungarian folks. But if you really interested in the (mis)adventures of the Chaos Lord Faragg G'atlan (or, in english: Unreff F'ined) you can visit the hungarian page and use the translation tool on the right side. I know it won't be the same, and some things wouldn't make any sense, but bear with it please, I didn't have the energy to make a parallel english version :(

Read it anyway if you have the free time, and see you next time!
