My Sunday Six

This morning I made a pork roast roll stuffed with cornbread and sausage stuffing made from leftover corn English muffins ('love those!) for dinner this afternoon.

I have a new favorite tv chef... Rachel Allen. I really like the kind of food - Irish/English - she makes... foofy things. She's on "Create" if anyone is interested. She made almond crescents and tea cake this morning. She does things so quickly and has a lot of energy, but never gets rattled.

This weekend was the Greek Festival here, an annual event. I went this year specifically to get more of the farina (semolina?) cake with rose water and orange (I think) and they said they didn't order any this year. I think they get it from NYC, so I guess I'm outa luck. 'Can't find it anywhere around here. I may try making it if I can find a recipe online.

DH had some work friends over Friday night and so I made a blue cheese ball with almonds. Easy, good.

Sooo many wild daisies in the garden that needed digging up (from all this rain!!) but the heirloom and grape tomatoes are coming along good with the help of some fish emulsion, and I still have a ton of orange thyme if anyone here would like any.

Helped friend make a some tzatziki yesterday. We had it out the other week and she had never heard of it before (what?!). We also bought stuffed grape leaves at the store (craved them after going to the Greek festival), so it was a refreshing, light supper last night.

nice weekend. I used to get Create with cable, but DH wanted Dishnet and bye bye Create. darn

 
Ok Cheezz, just let me know where to send it (via my email), and REC: Tzatziki, inside

Just a basic recipe, forgot where I found it-

2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cucumber, seeded and grated finely
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 T lemon juice
1 tsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tsp vinegar
1 T olive oil
freshly ground black pepper as desired

Combine yogurt and sour cream. Squeeze water from cucumber and add to sour cream/yogurt mixture. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Store in refrigerator until ready to use. Lowfat or fat-free yogurt/sour cream can be used, but since it's just a sauce to accompany other dishes and you just use a small amount per serving, I like to use the full-fat versions.

 
KAKM is our regular PBS. Create is also PBS but devoted to crafts/cooking etc and on a seperate

channel, which we can get only with GCi cable, Not on Dishnet. we do get KAKM regular on dish---thank goodness for Sunday nights---at least when the programs start up again. They took away all of our cooking shows on KAKM and put in children's programing---rats---except for Julia and Victory Garden and a few others on Saturday afternoon.

 
Oh :eek:( Here they show all 4 channels of our local PBS station. Lucky because we don't have cable or

satellite!

 
I think so, altho it's been a year since I had it. It had some kind of nut in it, either

walnuts or almonds. I can't remember if it was farina or semolina, but I know it had orange flavoring and I think honey and/or rosewater.

Got a recipe?

 
Farina, orange honey, and ground almonds. I found recipes that are close, but

usually call for semolina. Just wondered what it actually was. Thanks if you have a recipe. I'm thinking semolina is the correct ingredient given the name (semoly, or something like that). It's Greek, tho, I'm sure.

 
the thing is, if we had just plain old TV, I think we could get both channels. it's the Dishnet

that keeps me from getting Create.
