Made Up Dishes

I just made a scone-y like treat.

1 package cream cheese
Brown Sugar - I used the rest of the bag - didn't measure

I creamed these together until I got bored then added:

Glop of vanilla
1 egg

Mixed up.

I added self rising flour until the mixture was sticky and kind of stiff.

I plopped it by the teaspoon onto a cookie sheet.

I let it bake at 350 for a while, then turned it down, then turned it back up.

I kept looking to see what would happen.

I wanted cookies, but this is better. Not too sweet and perfect with tea.

I have enough left to refrigerate for fresh scones tomorrow!

Yay, Jali!

I've been baking long enough that I usually don't really measure stuff or use a recipe anymore for basic things like pies, crisps, and cookies. I've recently made two pumpkin pies from scratch (roasting the sugar pumpkin, etc.) with no recipe whatsoever and they both turned out really well.

Do stews count also? How about chicken dishes? I never measure a damn thing when I'm making rubs or seasonings. It's always a bit of this, a blorp of that, a gloop of the other and shake/mix well.

Thai Hash.
a couple of spuds cubed.
dice up an onion.
dice up whatever meat is hanging out in the fridge. ( ham. beef. chicken. pork. whatever is in there and not supporting a colony of some sort )
a handful of Thai Hot peppers. A few other random peppers for flavoring.
some ginger.
random amounts of cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, paprika, maybe some lemon grass.
throw everything but the ground spices in a pot with some olive oil. cook until the spuds are tender, throw in the spices and cook for a few minutes more.

dump onto a plate and eat.

I like to cook up spaghetti and let it cool, then mix in some EVOO, cooked ground turkey, garlic-stuffed green olives, artichoke hearts, sliced sweet peppers and black olives.
Top with freshly grated parmesan or romano.

Riiiight. EVOO being, of course, some latest designer explosives the feds are looking for. So when I go to the store and ask where they keep the EVOO, ninety seconds later I'm being dragged away to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison. Exellent joke!

WFT is EVOO. And I'm not eating any til you do first.

Sheesh! I thought everybody watched Rachel Ray! Yes, it is Extra Virgin Olive Oil, as noted by mlerose.

I like to eat the livers of people who use "EVOO" unironically.

And given how much I hate liver, that's saying something.

My downfall is dough or batter of any kind. If it remotely resembles or has any of the general ingredients of dough or batter I'll eat it RAW. To bake cookie, pie dough or batter for cake or brownies, etc. is a sacrelig. And, don't give me this crap about raw eggs. I figure that is what keeps my immune system in order and my guts working like a concrete mixer. I can put about anything in there and it is okay.

I used to eat cottage cheese with A-1 steak sauce. Not for breakfast, though.

Poultry Pot Pie

Take leftover chicken or turkey and bust it up into small pieces.
Put it in a saucepan along with 1-2 cans of cream-of-whatever soup
toss in some veggies (I like frozen stir fry veg but whatever you got works)
warm up the stuff in the saucepan a bit
now put a pie crust into a pie plate
dump the contents of the saucepan into the pie crust
top with another pie crust
bake for about 45 minutes on 375 (F).

Mmmmm.
