It's a longshot, but I thought I'd ask:

Is there anyone else who has the Le Creuset French Onion Soup bowls and knows how to make sure that when you use the dishwasher, water doesn't get into the handle from the little hole at the bottom? That hole has to be there for a reason, so I don't want to cover it up. But even drip drying it in several orientations doesn't seem to work either. Help?

Doing a bit of healthy cooking tonight to banish the winter blues. A lovely rainbow of roasted veggies and herbs, some of which I grew. Very important for gut health too (essential to think about when you have an #invisibleillness like diverticular disease).

This corn #soup from the new #WinSon #cookbook is so easy and good. Thanks to #AbramsBooks for the review copy. I’ll review the cookbook soon.

Here is a hearty and frugal winter dish inspired by a food coming from the Transsylvanian side of my family. Modernized, vegetarian version: a tangy one-pot dish with Sauerkraut, smoked chickpea sausage with paprika, bulgur, carrot and red bell pepper. Some wash the sour cabbage, I like it as sour as it can go. #cooksofmastodon

New Year Chocolate Cake 🎉 #cooksofmastodon

Made a pot of chicken stock (bone broth) today so I can make a black eyed pea stew tomorrow. #NYE #cooksofmastodon

Is there a better smell other than sugared bacon baking?

#HappyHollandaise ! We had a bunch of beautiful leftover roast potatoes from solstice dinner and some extra yorkies, so I made a nice brunch to celebrate @yonabee 's first day off for the holidays. Have you ever made hollandaise before?

A few tips:

1. It's easier than you think.

2. If you are worried about it
separating, you can add a tiny bit of cream or milk after you've made it to help stabilize it for holding. (Milk solids for the win)

3. Slow and low, that is the tempo.

4. Add butter to eggs and your sauce will have legs, but eggs to butter and your sauce will surely sputter.

5. If you want to make bennies for a crowd, you can hold your holly at a safe temp in a thermos for quite some time. (This is how I survived the tradition of bennies every Sunday with the coast guard, as with a crew of 13 we had no kitchen staff and it was just me, myself and I running the show.)

Fun things to add:

A dash of hot sauce or a dab of miso and some garlic while you melt the butter.

Tarragon and finely minced shallot (oh wow, you just made béarnaise!)

Lime instead of lemon, or any other tart citrus for that matter. Lime is great with a mango bacon Benny. Grapefruit is amazing with a garlic shrimp one!

Having a sandwich buffet for yule this year & can't wait to try grilled challah bread Thai-style PBs with marmalade, basil, and sriracha. It sounds like the most heavenly thing. Some other sammies in the works, and miso-honey roasted sweet potatoes.

Cooking anything new and outside your tradition this season?

One of the lessons I gleaned from helping my grandma cook was the appreciation of process. The process of preparation is as enjoyable as the finished product.

Cranberry sauce is simple to make. Used a little less sugar than was called for, added orange zest and a few spashes of sherry. Very tasty cranberry sauce. #cooksofmastodon

This year from scratch....#cooksofmastodon

One of the ingredients for Zuppa Toscana is bacon. I decided to chop it and cook it in the instant pot. I’m not sure why I didn’t think of this before. Way easier than cooking the strips and chopping them up later; for me anyway. Now I just need to brown the Italian sausage and put the remaining ingredients in and let it cook on high pressure. I’m coming’ for you Olive Garden! My soup is better than yours!
