Retired Techie
Getting older, not necessarily wiser!
Getting older, not necessarily wiser!
Just a few of my personal recipes I like to make now and then.
Rice Pudding, in one form or another, can be found everywhere around the world, with a vast array of different styles and methods of preparation. The variant I grew up with is a custard style pudding made with milk, eggs, sugar, and spices. This recipe is what I normally prepare, although I have been known to make a few variations depending on availability of ingredients. (more…)
Cottage pie is a dish of English/Irish origin, a savory pie (made with meat instead of fruit). It consists of a minced or ground meat and diced vegetable filling topped with mashed potato. Traditionally Cottage pie is made with beef, and Shepard’s pie is made with lamb. In the United States most people know the beef version as Shepard’s pie.
This is my version of the dish, which I have made adjustments to over the years, so it is not exactly traditional. (more…)
Jambalaya is a Creole and Cajun rice dish. It has both Spanish and French influences. Traditionally it is a meat and vegetable dish with rice in a seasoned, and sometimes spicy, broth.
This is my less than traditional version of the dish. The recipe makes approximately four servings and takes about two hours.
One of the nice things about retirement is it gives me time to rediscover things I have not done for years. So I am in the kitchen today, baking dinner rolls. I dug up an old recipe I have not used for over a decade. It is my personal variation on the dinner roll. (more…)
