  • I debated yogurt vs sour cream. The recipe I based this on used sour cream instead of yogurt and I figured it was with a try since it’s more “cooling” than yogurt. But it also had cheddar instead of feta. That was too far for me.

    Craisins are cranberries. I had made the whole thing and was ready to plate but after taking a taste it needed some sweetness, but not too much. Craisins to the rescue.

    It felt really weird adding craisins to, as you pointed out, what is basically a ‘tzatziki sauce’ in a meal format. And adding them to something with bacon has me fighting myself too. But I knew logically it would work despite my instinct saying “Noooo!”

    Sour cream has the probiotics too. Sour cream and yogurt are incredibly close. Not even cousins. Brothers. One fermented hot. The other cold. They even share some of the same microbes.




  • I’d up the bacon next time. I made it without the craisins but found that it needed some kind of bite other than the lemon so I added them.

    Once my wife said sunflower seeds it was immediately evident that they would offer the right tooth and flavor to complement everything else.

    Install it was good. But I can see how it would be better. I could even see a vegetarian version that uses sun dried tomatoes instead of bacon.

    I don’t really trim my nails and despite the physical abuse I put my hands through they don’t like to break on their own so they tend to get long enough to piss off women who pay a lot of money to have long nails.

    When my wife moved in and started eating the meals I cook she started complaining about how much harder it was getting to trim her nails. I didn’t say anything. Eventually she figured out that it was a sign of an improved diet.

    These were beans that I canned. So it was a overnight soak, change out the water, 30 minute boil, skim off the top, put into jars, can for 75 minutes which also finished cooking them.

    For beans I’m using immediately instead of canning I typically do either an overnight so or a 1 hour soak after boiling for 5 minutes. Then I will change out the water and boil for 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours depending on the bean and desired tenderness.
