Lots of Leftovers

Today has been left overs.  Lots of good food.  We are still working on the Pulled Pork.  Tonight it was nachos.  Yesterday I made some Hungarian Slumgullian Soup for lunch. Quite easy, hearty and tasty.  The rest of the hamburg went into a meatloaf (Individual Meatloafs) for dinner last night.  The meatloaf sauce was easy with surprisingly complex flavors.  With a bit of liquid smoke it would make a great barbecue sauce!  And since the oven was hot, a Jelly Roll with homemade blueberry jam was the dessert selection.  Making the jelly roll brought back a lot of memories from childhood.  Spreading jelly and snacking on the trimmed edges.  The spongy consistency of the cake.  It's possible I haven't had one in about 45 years!

  1. I liked your comments on the jelly roll. I tried recently to make a gluten-free jelly roll (using Mother's Cookbook recipe and swapping gf flour for regular flour). It was a complete failure and I threw it out. I was soooo looking forward to snacking on those cut off brown edges! Oh well. Cooking gluten-free can be a challenge. Next time I'll follow the directions precisely - or hunt up a gf recipe. Enough on that subject. Grammie Maki would be happy to hear that you tried the Slumgullian Soup! I think it sounds pretty good.

  2. I also have fond memories of jelly roll edges an probably haven't made one in 30+ years. I will definitely have to make one soon.
    Maybe that could be my Ground Hog Day Party contribution.
