Twas...orochetti (sp?) pasta with ground turkey (browned in olive oil, s/p, roasted garlic flakes, dried basil, and fresh parsley--really wish this last basil plant had made it!), sweet peas, and a touch of (soy) mozzarella...MMMMMM

This was part of the Sunday Night Fix-it-Up Marathon:
-browned some ground turkey
-browned some ground beef & chopped carrots for what will become Veggie Stew (asst. principal brought some Roma tomatoes to the office last week, we'll see what I can do with them here!)
-set up 2 different marinades for chicken breasts, one goes in the Crock-Pot tonight...
-boiled and cooled soymilk for yogurt making (and subsequently lost some of it when it boiled over under the burner, ugh) and set that up to incubate overnight...and it actually turned out pretty well!!
-leftover chicken became chicken salad and a portion of chicken & rice (which was today's lunch)
and...the fish went in the freezer until the weekend

I have a incubator (EuroCuisine, I think) with 7 jars and lids that I purchased on Amazon.com...the consistency is a little thin, but it's a bit cheaper (and fewer no-nos like cornstarch for me)...the stores around here don't stock the brand we really like (Silk vs. WholeSoy), and the WholeSoy factory was actually out of commission for part of the summer, so I dug the 'maker out again a few weeks ago and gave it a whirl!

I'm sure regular dairy yogurt would be just as "easy"...I just boil a quart of soymilk, let it cool, and I added cultures to the first batch (6 acidophilus capsules opened up and mixed in), but I always make at least two "plain" jars before adding vanilla flavoring--one of them to add to next batch to "chain" the cultures, sort of like sourdough bread or something...oh dear, now I'm HUNGRY again!!
