What did you cook or eat today? (October 2025)

[Barriehie]

So far I've reupped my roux. I like it at peanut butter stage since I can always cook it more.

Is that for some quick gumbo?

It's for whatever. I make a couple of cups at a time so it's on demand. You can add cold roux to hot food so this works out well. Comes out easy enough with a butter knife and stir it into whatever.

I'm about ready to start on a pot of soup.
I have 85% of the ingredients messed in place.

Was your typo being punny? That's why I gave it a laughing emoji...because I can relate to making a mess!

Around 45 or so years ago Taco Bell used to stir smoking hot lard into their beans when they were making refried beans. Roux can get you an extremely similar taste...

Who's to say?
It looked messed in place to me



Soup's done
I may have to have a cup with dinner. If I still have an appetite.

About that time I was working on the HVAC at the city's first Taco Bell.

Waffles with mixed berry compote, fresh blackberries and raspberries, and a honey/maple syrup blend. No pics though it was pretty...but I was pretty hungry...

That's what I retired from, commercial HVAC in NV, AZ, and UT.

For my Mom:

I deliberately made extra for her.

Rippers are deep fried.

Went to a diner for breakfast. Had a bowl with hashbrowns, bacon, ham, sausage with cheese and a hollandaise sauce. $&@$ was good.

No eggs? Seems like eggs would be an awesome addition to that.

I love breakfast bowls.
