Continued Misadventures in Learning to Cook

[netgirl_y2k]

I've just been round to my parents to make us all Sunday tea - it's allowed, we're a support bubble, although at this late stage of affairs I don't honestly know who is supporting who anymore. Maybe the dog is supporting us all? - and I decided to have my first go at french onion soup, but because I don't eat red meat I decided to sub the beef broth with red wine and Worcestershire sauce.

Anyway, long story short, instead of french onion soup what I made was a sort of hot wine with onions, and I've got to be honest, I...did not hate it.

I also accidentally bought four quid "cooking" wine that had a cork for some reason, and, well, there was no use letting it go to waste, so I polished it off with my mum in the kitchen while my dad audibly judged us. Good times.

There's very little that caramelized onions can't make good!

The onions, at least, turned out fab! I made a caramelised onion macaroni cheese earlier in the week that made me so happy I could have cried.

Wine in cooking is always fun! I made some chicken marsala the other day, and the leftover wine went excellently with it.

That sounds great!

I was actually cooking with wine tonight too - I made cashew cream for the first time (I'm doing vegan January in February because the vaccine rollout kind of took over work last month, and I didn't want to have to think too hard about what I was eating) and for a first attempt it turned out pretty well.

Sounds very good! Glad you enjoyed it.

Ten months into the pandemic this is what counts as a big night out around here!
