Update from the kitchen

On day one of the meal repertoire expansion project, I got the lazies: instead of trying out a new recipe, I made one we enjoy but haven't made in a really long time. It's a modification of the recipe for w'et in Sundays at Moosewood. Instead of using berbere, I used panch poran--so in fact, I suppose it was, oh, let's call it Bengali vegetables. Very tasty.

I had planned to try out a recipe for socca (chickpea flour crepes), but someone had taken up residence in my flour, so that's on hold until we get a new bag. I think it would have been a nice match if it had worked out. Stupid bugs.

On the other hand, I did finally try making Irish Soda Bread on the weekend. It came out ok; the recipe was very stripped down (2C each of all purpose flour, wheat flour, and buttermilk, some soda and some salt) and could use a little sweetness. Next time I'll add honey or sugar. The verdict was that it would be a good recipe for bread in a pinch--and actually it makes very nice toast.
