👩🏻‍🍳 COOKING FOR SANDY DAY
3 days a week, I cook meals for a neighbor who had a stroke last year and has limited mobility. We often share a meal kit or something similar and spend some time together since neither of us go out too much 😁 Today is one of her days. I’m enjoying having someone to cook for again.

She hasn’t been feeling the best so she asked for something relatively bland. She asked if I had any salmon so I made her some smoked salmon, snow peas with a bit of garlic butter and she asked for potato salad. No problem!

Over the last few days I slowly made a batch of Cracked Pepper & Herb Paté… I used a combination of these 2 recipes:

https://www.seriouseats.com/chicken-liver-pate-bourbon-cranberry-recipe

Super simple – cook the liver, onions and aromatics – let cool – blend into a paste – chill – then optionally top with either a fruity gelatin layer or ghee.

This just stops the oxidation process if you aren’t going to eat it all straight away. I wasn’t sure how much it would make but as I did it below, it made 4 ramekins of about ½c each.

I tried it once before with a pomegranate gelatin top but I just don’t like the texture of gelatin and just used it to seal it. This time I adjusted some of the seasoning amounts and used some ghee to seal. It needs to chill overnight and I will try it tomorrow!

The storms have kicked up my autoimmune issues and I haven’t felt like doing a whole lot of my usual creative cooking… I haven’t been doing or eating much so this is the last few days… Pretty straight forward meals… My BP is giving me trouble and I have Darth Vader breathing going on…
