Our first cooked meal in the new home was pasta with mushroom, zucchini and tomato sauce. This is from our classic student repertoire. Our second cooked meal was a mushroom omelette, also from the same ‘recipe book’.
I am pleased to say that we are progressing slightly beyond student now. We had a dinner party two weeks ago (three mushroom risotto with truffle oil, rhubarb crumble with vanilla yoghurt).
This week we cooked fried rice.
I also got to take my onion goggles for a spin.
Next on my kitchen gadget list, a Garlic Zoom.
Did your goggles work?
Also how long now until Truffy starts earning his keep?
Chewing a gum while cutting onions will prevent you from crying.
Hi Kaye — I think the goggles work for about two onions. Then I start tearing up a bit.
The only tip that I have that reliably works is to keep onions in the fridge. I think it reduces the amount of volatile onion when you chop.
Truffie produces truffles from around age 3 or 5. We adopted him as the last tree in the previous batch so we had about a year head start. I think it’s year 3 next year. I also know that the whole farm hasn’t produced any truffles yet, so I don’t know how good our investment will be!
Alden, that’s a good tip, I’ll try it next time. I always have a pack of gum around.
Ooo, my first view of your place! Very bright!
