I had the wife buy a bunch of peaches, and I blended them until they were a thick semi-liquid, and they are now in the freezer. I’ve added sugar while blending to counter the tartness.
I will be dishing this up with whipped cream.
Half way through this process I realized I’ve just reinvented Sorbe (I can’t do the gay little accent mark).
How many others, half way through doing a cool original idea realized you were doing something that is common?
When my children were very young I whipped up a dinner for them one night.
Tuna from a can
cooked egg noodles
bread crumbs
mayo
milk
salt/pepper/etc.
I mixed it all together, topped it with more bread crumbs and some grated parmesan cheese and baked it.
I dubbed it “The Stuff.”
I had invented tuna casserole!
Now, I must have had a pretty vague idea of what went into a tuna casserole, but who knows. I’m not sure I had ever eaten it before then. I know it wasn’t something my mother or father cooked. I’d never seen a recipe that I can recall.
I still make tuna casserole every now and then, usually when the cupboards start to go bare and I want to clean out the inventory. It’s improved/been revamped a bit since then.
