You know how one thing leads to another? That was today's thing. For starters, I have been cold, all day. It irritates me to live in Hawaii and be cold. That sort of thing shouldn't happen. But cold I was, and I found myself browsing a British website with all sorts of gorgeous-looking soups. However, I long ago brain-dumped any knowledge I had about converting metric ingredients, and I was too lazy to Google how, so I went digging in the pantry. I came up with a can of "Pea Soup Andersen's Split Pea," WITH BACON, natch, so I was happy. That led to another problem, though, which is that Mr. L is not a soup person. He'll eat it, but he complains that he's hungry again an hour later. So then I thought well, maybe I'll make popovers. So I did.
My popover recipe comes from my vintage 1950 edition of Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book, a treasured gift from Miss Scarlett. There are only four ingredients, making this recipe completely idiot-proof. Trust me on that one. The main thing I'll stress is to really grease those muffin pans. No holding back on Crisco. More prep photos are below.
I'm trying out some new recipes, this week. A friend gave me some back issues of the Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine. Here we go!
Sunday: Spanish Beef Stew with Yellow Rice
Monday: Spaghetti Squash Carbonara; Garlic Bread
Tuesday: African Peanut Stew (not a Rachael Ray recipe, just one I have been wanting to try out)
Wednesday: Mu Shu Pizza
Thursday: New Year's Eve (pupus and wine with friends)
Friday: Game Hens (split) over Salad with Tomatoes, Avocados, and Basil; French Bread
Saturday: Leftover Game Hen Salad with Tarragon Mayonnaise over ToastedTorta Rolls
Happy 2016, everyone! - C. Ironing
