What's for Dinner, Sun., Dec. 18, 2022

[NJCher]

No time to cook today, so I jazzed up my turkey wild rice soup with more shiitake. Caramelized onion mixed into the top of the soup.

That and a mini-loaf of cornbread with red pepper and cubed Cheddar will complete the meal.

Blackberries over shortbread with a little whipped cream for dessert. Hot ginger tea.

4. Potato Latkes, apple sauce, and jelly donut (Sufganiyah) later. Maybe a chicken wing.

Sufganiyah is a round jelly doughnut eaten in Israel and around the world on the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. The doughnut is deep-fried in oil, filled with jam or custard, and then topped with powdered sugar. Wikipedia (First time I've indulged in sufganiyah.)

I have unagi and maguro thawed. The rice is in the cooker right now. I use Cal Rose rice and vinegar it. It's just the two of us so I hesitate to thaw any greater variety of toppings for one dinner.

10. had brunch of bacon, eggs, toast, jelly, juice ,hot tea and fresh orange slices so

this evening worked on perfecting Hot and Sour soup - used beef broth, portabello shrooms, tofu, bamboo shoots hirachi sauce, soy sauce, white vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, pepper and corn starch slurry to finish - taste was fair but seems to be missing something - any suggestions?

12. Found a recipe for ricotta and polenta

since I had half a container of ricotta left over from something else. Wasn't bad, but Mr. Retro's reaction was, "you made cheesy grits"
