Four Foods on Friday #13
I don’t have any exciting answers for Val’s questions this week, but I’d hate to miss two weeks in a row so I’m going to answer anyway. You can play along by posting the answers to the questions on your own blog, then going to Fun, Crafts and Recipes and linking your post in Val’s comments. Val will do a round-up post on Friday featuring everyone’s answers and will link back to your blog.
Heh! I wanted to squeeze the best of my luggage sets into the picture to signify that I frequently eat on the go but I just couldn’t make it work. Oh well! On with the questions:
#1. Cold cuts. Prepackaged or sliced fresh at the deli counter?
I prefer deli cuts. They cost more but are so much better. I eat sandwiches for lunch most days, so I buy a half-pound of two different meats and at least one cheese from the deli counter each week. I also buy “good” sandwich rolls from the bakery for my sandwiches. My current favorites are roast beef, Swiss cheese and cibatta bread.
#2. Which ingredient reduces acidity in red sauce? Corn syrup, molasses or brown sugar.
Hm! Mom taught me to always toss in a teaspoon of (white) sugar and that seems to work. If one of the ingredients listed does a better job I’d say it’s probably molasses. Is this a test? Did I pass?
#3. Whipped cream. Fresh, canned or frozen?
I like the real whipped cream in a can. I’m too lazy to whip it myself and I’m not crazy about the frozen substitute.
#4. How do you make pea soup? If you don’t, share a recipe that you use peas in.
I don’t think I’ve ever made fresh pea soup. I add peas to Mongolian Beef, stir fry, fried noodles and various other starch dishes. Do those count? I can’t think of any recipes I cook regularly that focus on peas.
There ya go. Nothing exciting, as I said. You can do better, so get on over to Val’s place and join the fun!

I’ve seen you doing this meme a few times. I’m going to have to get in on it, it’s very interesting.
In the mean time I tagged you because I’m interested to hear if there are any special Hawaiian traditions for the new year

[…] Skeet doesn’t have any pea recipes to share, but from the look of things it sounds like Skeet … Now I’m a potato bread lover. I have never tried store bought cibatta bread, I never even noticed it in the bread aisle. What’s it taste like? Is it something you’re getting that’s baked fresh or is in the bread aisle? Skeet is a great author and a terrific blogging neighbor, even if she’s got a porn site going. LOL. It just hit me that I neglected to Share Some Good Stuff with her yesterday. I’m sorry Skeet, I’ll send something for next weeks. I almost forgot to mention too, you’ve got to see what she’s got going on every Tuesday. It’s not a peep show, but it is a lot of fun! […]

Yep, Daniel - SERPs are fickly things and can change within moments. And yes - I need to post more. My habit is to post daily, but I’ve had a rough week (my poor old dog died) and I’m not focusing well, so no posts for two days. I’m working on it. Hope you’ll come back to visit again!

You should join us for Four Foods on Friday, Ami-Chan. I know you’d have some interesting comments to make.

Corrin, I buy my deli rolls from the Safeway bakery (same place I get my deli meats and cheeses.) There are no stand-alone bakeries near my coast, but he Safeway stuff is good!

I like pea soup, Whim, but for some reason have never made it myself.

You’re right, Daniel, but I took two days off anyway. I haven’t been feeling much inspiration to write just lately. I’m working on it.
