Today's Cooking

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today we're making Suugo Suqaar (pasta sauce with beef) from In Bibi's Kitchen.  It's not difficult, but it is time-consuming and requires a lot of time standing over a skillet.  The ingredients are mostly the same as I use in spaghetti sauce, except for the spice blend, which makes it smell different and very interesting.

Colonialism sucks, but fusion cuisine is awesome.  Why can't humans cook like bonobos fuck?  "Hello stranger, let's throw our food together and have a feast!"

Oh wait -- hobbits.

EDIT 3/17/22 -- This turned out tasty, and despite using similar ingredients, the flavor was different.

I pulverize the freeze-dried berries and make them into a raspberry syrup (with a bit of sugar and some framboise - raspberry liqueur) that winds up in a lot of dessserts. When my son was a teenager, he liked to use freeze-dried strawberries in random alcholic drinks. I never liked the texture of the astronaut ice cream.

Interesting variation on raspberry syrup.

Well, it's supposed to be light and crispy that sort of melts in your mouth. But when it's stale it gets gummy that is no fun. In this regard it's a lot like divinity.
