My favorite food is fried chicken. I also love a grilled chicken salad with ginger and soy vinaigrette. I love ginger candy and pickled ginger, and bread and butter pickles. Two of my favorite fruits are pineapples and avocados, both of which I didn’t taste fresh until I was grown. I had of course tasted canned pineapple which is nothing like fresh. When my middle son was sick with chicken pox, I had my first taste of fresh pineapple. With his brothers away at Lion’s Club Bingo with their father and grandparents, I entertained my son with movies and foods only he and I liked. One of which was pineapple. Together we ate that whole pineapple that night. I had blisters in my mouth from the citrus, but it was worth it. I’d never had anything that tasted so good.
We have an onion farm close to where I live and in my upcoming story, How to Murder a Duke, Winnie makes the duke onion and mushroom soup.
Onion and mushroom soup
1-large sweet onion
1 beef bouillon cube
1 tablespoon of butter
¼ cup chopped mushrooms
Shredded parmesan cheese
Wrap in foil.
Bake in oven or on grill 350 degrees until onion is almost liquid.
If you are making it on the stove, I use a small pot, chop up my onions and mushrooms and sauté them in butter until the onions are sweating and soft. Add in bouillon cube and a little water as needed to dilute the bouillon. Top with a little shredded parmesan cheese and serve with a hunk of French bread.
Tin foil was invented in 1910, just a few years too late for Winnie to use in my Applegate Mystery Series.
