I cooked something last night besides dinner.<\/p>\n
I tried\u00a0this recipe for “Burnt Miso Butterscotch<\/a>.” \u00a0I read the recipe on-line a couple of weeks ago and found it fascinating if for no other reason than it requires one to purposefully burn food meant to be eatten which is usually NOT my goal.<\/p>\n To be honest, I’m not really sure if I actually “made” the recipe since I’m clueless as to how it should taste and I had to do some substitutions and tweaking (shocked, shocked and appalled!!) like white wine vinegar in lieu \u00a0of sherry vinegar and demerara sugar<\/a> instead of straight brown sugar and well,\u00a0I’m pretty sure<\/em>\u00a0it was shiro miso<\/a> since I’m not big on the other kinds but I just went for the\u00a0half empty\u00a0container instead of opening the new one I bought special for the recipe (look honey! \u00a0I reduced Open Unused Stuff in the fridge!!!!!<\/em>) and my\u00a0blender \u00a0has never quite recovered from making crumbs for meat balls so I had to rely on the hand blender. \u00a0And I only really had enough ingredients to make half a batch and the family hanging out in the kitchen was \u00a0pretty convinced things that come out of the oven burnt are Not meant to be eaten so I couldn’t get anyone to try it last night BUT I think I will eat a few more spoonfuls before I render a final review but in the interim, may I throw out the word UMANI<\/strong> for consideration? Like a slightly sweet version of Marmite. . . hmmm, lunch might have been better spent chasing crumpets as opposed to blogging because then I could go home and toast a crumpet and spread it with some burnt miso butterscotch.<\/p>\n Maybe tomorrow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I cooked something last night besides dinner.
