jackYes I cooked from scratch:
5. Spaghetti sauce. I mean, a variety of sauces that go on spaghetti, but not thin enough I'd usually call it sauce
6. Yeast bread. With a breadmaker, but I mean, I STARTED from scratch. That seems like a weird category, I guess it means "yeast bread" as opposed to "sourdough bread", not as opposed to flatbread?
7. Cake. Only a few times though. We've made the lemon cake a few times but I've not made it by myself.
8. Icing. I think? Again, once.
10. Chilli. I'm not sure exactly what counts, but I make something that's closer to chilli than anything else.
13. Mac and cheese. Copying Rachel.
19. "A pot of greens". Not sure what that is but I assume what I do with veg counts some of the time?
27. Yay, pancakes!
28. "Roasted vegetables in the oven instead of boiling them?" I mean, I've roasted vegetables, but I'm not sure I've ever boiled them, although that's probably how I learned first. I guess, adding peas or sweetcorn to pasta water? Or boiled potatoes?
29. Zested an orange or lemon. Yes, every time we make lemon cake :)
30. Made an omelet.
39. Lived in a house without a dishwasher? Yes, for more than 30 years.
40. Eaten a bowl of cereal for supper? Maybe not as my main evening meal, but I've certainly eaten cereal whenever it's felt like the right thing to eat, which has sometimes been in the afternoon or evening.
No, I never cooked from scratch:
1. biscuits
2. fried okra
3. sourdough
12. Scalloped potatoes (?)
14. Jello salad. A WHAT??
15. Peanut brittle (?)
16. Fudge.
17. Cookies.
18. Cooked dried beans
20. Cornbread. No, seriously, there's only one sort of bread I've ever made :)
21. Pie dough. No. Even Jack Monroe recommends using Jus-roll when you can :)
23. Snapped green beans?
24. Mashed potatoes
26. Poached egg. Apparently these don't have to be "from scratch" any more :) I've probably done this almost by accident when a boiled egg cracked, but not on purpose.
29. Made fresh pasta
30. Made croissants
33. Made baked beans. Although I'd like to.
34. Ice cream. Although Rachel's was amazing so I should.
35. Jam or jelly.
36. Made grits. Apparently these are very polarizing.
Other Q
25. What's the most people you've prepared a whole meal for alone? Probably three or four. I've cooked a multi-course meal for 16, but with assistants to be extra hands.
I left out all of the questions about cooking meat, which I've done none of.

Date: 2020-08-04 01:06 pm (UTC)I think I've done all of these except jello salad, although croissants and grits are both arguable (croissants from ready made dough, but not pre-cooked, and followed a grits recipe but using polenta, cos actual grits are basically impossible to get in the UK). I'm curious about the meat ones now.
