Late breakfast. Been getting better at plating recently

Your cursive is so cool. Did you teach yourself that, or is that how you learned it as a child?

Oh, I didn't even write that, it's a sweet old Irish lady's handwriting learn very well from reference and stylistic mimicry, such are what greatly assisted my drawfaggotry. Not sure if I could easily replicate such ornate handwriting, now...

Practiced my pizza craft tonight. It was pretty good. I got provolone, Parmesan, harverti and motzerella.

Decided to give raspberry pie a try but I wasn't expecting the filling to rise, it started drowning my lattices

Whenever this happens to me I just put like 2-3 tablespoons of cornstarch for every 4 cups of raspberries and bake it around 350

I planted some raspberries, maybe next I’ll have enough to make a pie with them.

Spring is hitting full force.
I'll go out today to forage for some nettles, been seeing some well developed patches growing nearby. I might go for some young dandelions as well, if I find them.
Planning on making some nettle soup today. I was also told you can make nettle vinegar, so I'll probably experiment with that too.

Finished a batch of spaghetti and hot sausage tomato sauce with bell peppers and wine

It's simple but great comfort food

Fried ham with red-eye gravy, baked mac n cheese from a box, biscuits, and green beans. Lazy Sundays are great Sundays!

Bread pudding with raspberries, banana, and pecans.

So, as a bit of a followup, when I try a recipe I like to do it a few times in a row to play with it and see what I like while getting it down (not that bread pudding is hard; it's just staled bread bathed in custard). This time I decided to use a ripened banana in the custard like you would for banana bread, and layered cream cheese in between my bread pieces and spreading some on the top. While this is probably terribly bad for you, it's also terribly tasty.

I wanted to make some lemon stuff. First thing was a lemon mint bread and the next was lemon posset. How i learned about the lemon posset was from a video where it is served in a lemon half, and given the laws of physics it would take more lemon halves then were squeezed to contain the posset, so I also made lemonade.
the lemonade was fine, made that before. The lemon bread recipe ended up using was more of a cake loaf than a bread. Was mildly annoyed at this but it does make a decent dessert / pallet cleanser.

The lemon posset was a disaster. It's basically a lemon pudding from scratch and I hate making puddings on an electric stove top. you are either burning the pudding or not getting it hot enough. I'm pretty sure I undercooked it and couldn't get the right consistency. Then while it was cooling I started to shuck the lemon halves that I sliced such that the stem was not cut in half. This was a mistake. If you don't half it through the stem It will not rest flat. So I go through the painstaking process of shucking the meat out of these squeeze the lemons, discover they won't sit unattended, and attempt to cut the stem where it will lay flatter. I end up ruining most of the lemon peels, cutting a hole in the bottom. So I just poured out the faucet into a muffin pan and stick it in the freezer. This actually tastes pretty decent and makes a nice dessert that is pre-portioned. It just doesn't present as well as having it served in the lemon rind.

I saved the lemon peels and will use them to make candy lemon peel at some point.

I'm a little worried now that anytime I see your name in the thread it means someone else in your town has died.

Lol, but seriously, we've got one more. Got a heads up this afternoon. It's apparently been a tough Spring. Not sure of the date, yet. I pray this is the last one for at least a year. But I have no control over that. There's no one else who has been ill, so it should be a while after this one, God willing. I don't know why deaths cluster like this. Happens every year and a half, or so. Generally between January and May or August and October.

Cheeseburger casserole. It was missing a bit of a 'deeper' flavor note, but it was an easy 1 pot recipe and took like 30 minutes all together and it made a week's worth of meals.

 

[OrionBalls]

Buldak with shiitakes, green beans, sesame seeds, and a bit of heavy cream because my stomach doesn't handle super spicy like it used to.

Shrimp tacos!
