Doing some prep work

[Guest guest]

Ok, I have crackers in the dehydrator. I read in the archives that it was

difficult making the crackers with wheat but I had no problems at all

rolling them out (I used white wheat) They look neat too as I only had black

sesame seeds LOL. I also made a batch of yogurt dough and baked half as a

tart shell and half as a medium pizza crust. When cooled both will go into

the freezer for next week. Dh said he'd buy me one thing and I can't decide

weather I want the motorized base for my grain mill or the thunderstick pro

mixer (you may have seen it on TV) The main reason I want it is to make

mayonaise. We aren't wealthy and we usually have to buy bottom of the line

when we look to buy a small appliance so my blender is anchient and I can't

make mayo in it because it heats up so much the mayo is literally steaming

hot when it's done!!! And my food processor is a cheapy and does a terrible

job with the mayo. With the tunderstic you don't even have to add the oil

drop by drop you can add it all at once and in 30 seconds approx you have

nice thick mayo. I use a LOT of mayo so it would be a since to quadruple the

recipe and still be done in less than 5 minutes whereas with the FP it takes

over 15, IF the motor doesn't overheat on me. The grinder motor would be

nice as I'm starting to look like Arnold Swartzeneggar (I KNOW I spelled

that wrong LOL) grinding all my grain by hand! ::sigh:: decisions decisions!

I'll probably go with the thunderstic and start begging for the grinder

again when my birthday rolls around LOL. Well, tommorow is grocery day so I

have to use up all the old food today and clean out the fridge and make my

list. I have my grocery money VERY tightly budgeted (the only way I can even

possibly afford to eat like this) and this week all I have to get is fresh

veggies, milk, cream and a few small things. Found out fresh fish is the

cheapest meat in my area so the freezer is stocked with lots of fish, a big

turkey I got on sale (oh yeah, christmas is comming!) a duck, a big bag of

liver (tried another recipe for liver last night, Dh polished his plate

clean, ds ate it 'cause he has to clean his plate, dd finished it because

it's an animal product (she is a born carnivore!) and I couldn't choke down

more than 2 bites ( How long are you supposed to soak it in lemon juice? I

did 4 hours and it was WAY too sour. ::sigh:: surely SOMEWHERE there is a

beef liver recipe I'll like!!! After making that pate I know how I'll eat

chicken livers!!! Though I hear chicken livers are easier to eat then beef

anyway. Calf liver would probably be a bit milder but I can only find

chicken and beef. Any ideas? I know when I was little I LOVED liver boiled

LOL. My aunt would make some for her dog and I would stand by the stove and

wait for my plate LOL. I must have been crazy!
