2 Months in!
So after 2 months, this is what the stove looks like:
Look at that hat pot on top! That’s right, my stove is happiest when it is being cooked on! And that gas smell was not imaginary. And now that the air is cleared, I am slowly getting used to the stove. I made my first meal on it tonight. I used it to make Pea Soup from scratch. Here was my lovely meal:
Recipe from a magazine (with my modifications):
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
2/3 Green Onions, chopped
7 cups Green Peas, fresh or frozen
4 cups Vegetable Stock
8 Tbsp half and half
salt and pepper to taste
1) In a stock pot, heat the olive oil, and saute the green onions a few minutes until softened. Add the peas and the stock, bring to a simmer, and then cover and cook until the peas are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2) Remove from heat to cool slightly, then process in a blender until smooth.
3) Return to the pan; add the half-and-half, salt and pepper; and heat through. Makes about six cups of deliciousness. Baguette and apple optional although it made it perfect. Enjoy!
