political stress cooking V2

[irisblue]

still cooking away, yesterdays lentil soup is portioned out & frozen. Cheaters vegetable soup is simmering away. I do have enough containers to freeze this soup. There are 2 celery stalks & 1 Vidalia onion & 1 bunch of green onions left. I used the last egg this am. I will be able to wash out the fridge tomorrow (does plastic wrap on the bottom of the fridge stick well enough to try so the next wash is easy?). Frustration cooking, still channeling G-Ma, & those are pleasent memories, Eisenhower republicans weren't all evil fucks.
Anyone else doing this?

1. I use parchment paper on the shelves to cut down on having to wipe spills. nt

3. Use the green onions for a scallion pancake

Just do a flour and water dough, knead until it's elastic, roll thin. Sprinkle with oil and scallions and roll up as tightly as you can. Coil into a tight spiral and toll out again, the diameter a bit smaller than the first roll-out. Oil a frypan or wok and fry the pancake until golden on both sides. Cut into wedges and serve--it would be great with that tomato soup.

The Chinese use toasted sesame oil,but i find a light oil is better for serving with more European foods.

Each pancake is roughly 1/2 cup flour, 2 tbs. hot water, a thin paint of oil, and 1/2 cup scallions. You wouldn't think that 4 ingredients would pack this much of a flavor punch, but they do. Extra benefit, you can whack it with the rolling pin to flatten it and get some of that political frustration out.

4. thanks!

I looked in the can cupboard, lots of dry&canned beans, rice, pastas,£ tuna, and other things I can make. The really nice family across the street will get half todays soup, w/3 teenagers can put a hole in any pot of a soup. I might take up muffin baking next.😏
