It’s 3.25am here, I start work at 5am, and I think I’m gonna have sausage rolls and party pies for breakfast. Probably with a cup or two of tea and maybe a piece of fruit.

Today I had coffee and a fruit smoothie. This is my usual weekday breakfast.

Yesterday it was coffee and chips. Korean BBQ flavor chips

I saw them and got curious. Interesting flavor. I might see if the Kettle brand is available next time. I prefer the texture of those. Although interesting packaging. I probably ended up with the HEB ones in part because of the tigers

If they ever have it again, the CM Thai Chili Waffle Chips are really, really good.

Oh, that sounds delightful!

These Korean BBQ ones were slightly sweet, something of a tomato flavor in there with some soy, umami, and a heat that built as you went along. I liked them but I don’t know how much they tasted like Korean BBQ. I haven’t had much Korean BBQ because I cannot eat beef.

Somehow, I have apparently become an expert mushroom gravy maker. I have had more than one person tell me it’s the best they’ve ever had, and I don’t really get it. All I did was google “mushroom gravy recipe”, and I did that. Maybe people are just used to jarred gravy? Or the kind from the packets where you add water?

drool. My brother made amazing mushroom gravy, but I didn’t get his recipe before he passed. I think it had marsala wine in it. Which recipe do you use?

I start with sautéing a chopped onion. I let that cook until the onions just start to brown, and then I add some water, just so I don’t accidentally burn the onions. Then I add the sliced mushrooms. We like a lot of mushrooms, so we use a lot of mushrooms. I throw in some salt at this point. And I stir everything around, and let the mushrooms cook down. Before all the water I added plus the water the mushrooms release boils off, I add a stick of butter. Once that has melted, I add a half cup of flour, and start stirring constantly. I keep stirring until that gloopy, onion, mushroom filled roux start to darken a little (2, 3 minutes…ish), and then I start adding beef stock a little at a time. And I keep stirring. I add beef stock until it’s about the right consistency for gravy, and then I add a little more water. And then I turn the heat down a little and let the whole thing reduce, stirring occasionally until it’s the right consistency. I don’t know why I add that water at the end and reduce it. It’s probably not necessary, but it’s what I do. You can also add black pepper, if you want.

That sounds so good. Thank you!

Also, to make the beef stock, I use Better Than Bouillon mixed with hot water. I love that stuff.

Same, I always have a jar of BtB chicken in the fridge. Sometimes if I’m feeling run down and need some placebo medicine, I just mix up a bowl of broth and drink it plain.
