Recipe #43: potato waffle hash brown

 As mentioned in an earlier blog post (Recipe #11), you can waffle just about anything. And yes, you can use the word waffle as a noun and a verb. At least here, at Rubbishy Grammary.

Ingredients:


As you can see in the above photo, the only ingredients are leftover buttery mashed potatoes and a seasoned waffle iron. If your leftover mashed potatoes aren’t buttery, or your waffle iron isn’t seasoned, you will also need oil. If you want to get extra fancy, you could also add some sautéed chopped onions. I wish I had thought of that earlier. Oh well. Next time.

Directions:

Preheat your waffle iron, green light means go:


Add your cold leftover mashed potatoes to the hot waffle iron:


And waffle:


Until hot and golden brown:


And that’s it!


Serve as is, or make it a proper breakfast with two over easy eggs and hot sauce:


So good!

Recipe #49: eggnog latté

Image
It’s holiday season—the most wonderful time of the year! Let’s have eggnog lattés! Ingredients: I’m making a decaf eggnog latté because I’m feeling seasonal, but not so much that I want to be up all night. But you do you. Note the equipment involved: stovetop espresso maker and milk foamer (the latter was previously seen in Recipe #37, matcha latté). If you have an actual espresso maker, by all means use it! Directions: If using a stovetop espresso maker, take it apart and first add cold water to the base to the level of the bottom of the little screw on the side: Next, add the middle section with the basket for the ground espresso and fill gently with the coffee. I don’t pack it down and it seems to work better this way with this device: Screw on the top, and it’s ready to go. Next, add water to the bottom section of the stovetop milk foamer: Not too much water, about a couple of centimetres worth, you want the water to boil quickly and a lot of steam to build up in the bottom section...

Recipe #46: steel cut oatmeal

Image
  This recipe is by special request for a special friend who recently found a mini slow cooker at a thrift store. That’s where you find mini slow cookers. Nobody buys them new. They spontaneously generate themselves at thrift stores. Just make sure you clean them within an inch of their existence. Apparently my friend is more conscientious about second hand electrical kitchen appliances than I, and she looked online to learn how to use the mini slow cooker. I did no such thing and assumed, like regular slow cookers, they could be used safely for hours at a time. Apparently the mini slow cookers are only intended to be used for a mini amount of time: four hours maximum. I’m going to pretend that I never heard this information and will continue to throw caution to the wind with my second hand mini, but you, dear reader, should take this information as a caveat to this recipe, and if you decide to use it recklessly like me, and your thrift store mini slow cooker explodes after four ho...

Recipes #8 and #9: pan fried haddock with cucumber salad

Image
  Today’s post is a 2-for-1, but rest assured, both recipes can be made independently and separately with good results! Recipe #8: cucumber salad  This is super quick salad recipe that you can whip up in a few minutes and impress the pants off of your dinner guest(s). I’m making a batch for two diners here. Ingredients: Directions: Slice the cucumber(s) in thin rounds with a sharp knife. A mandoline would work well, but ours is still in its original packaging and I’m afraid of it, so I just used a paring knife and sliced directly into the serving bowl (no cutting board = less clean up = less neatly sliced = I don’t care). Likewise with the red onion. I just used a small amount of the red onion you see pictured above. We want the onion to be a sidekick to the cucumber, not a leading lady. Next, squeeze a wedge of fresh lemon juice in the bowl, shake a few shakes of dried dill (or a good anmount of chopped fresh dill if you have it), add a glug of mayo and a spoonful of sou...
