What we ate this week

Plain cooking for two, with notes on what to change next time.

September 29, 2026

Pickled onions

Vinegar, sugar, salt, and a jar that has been in hot water. Ready in an hour, gone in two days.

Bread that rises

September 9, 2026

The trick was a warmer kitchen, not more yeast. The oven with only the light on is warm enough.

Using up rice

September 3, 2026

Day old rice fries better than fresh. A beaten egg and whatever is left in the fridge does the rest.
