Absent minded cooking



More simmering things. I got bored of meat sauce, so I'm transforming a batch into Bolognese sauce with the addition of procuitto, carrots, celery, and cream. I like simmering things because they require virtually no attention, and it makes the house smell great while I do something else productive. And at the end of it, there are delicious things to eat.



Delicious things like quince jam.



And delicious things like sweet potatoes and chipotle lime butter. One of the bonuses of baking pies is that I get to throw in other things to bake and roast alongside the pies. And then I have more ingredients to play with over the next few days.



Embiggened by the stretchy success of the last batch of pizza dough, I attempt a rye flour flavored one this time.



Bolognese sauce done. Somehow I ended up with more than I started with. I don't remember what I did.
