Oh yum! Last week, Book Cooks Breakfast tried out these recipes: Sausage Balls (Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder); Bacon, Eggs, and Mushrooms (Chronicles of Narnia: The Horse and His Boy by CS Lewis); Swedish Rice Porridge (American Girls); and
Coriander Pancakes with Mango Chutney (The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett).
The Sausage Balls contained apples and sage and were flattened a bit to help them cook through. I forgot my camera on the day we made the bacon, eggs, and mushrooms so this is not a photo of our actual dish, but close enough! Swedish Rice Porridge, also called Skansk Grot (skone-sk grurt) was made with apples and raisins. We kicked off this week with an exotic Indian-inspired recipe for pancakes. The first batch of chutney didn't turn out so well, but I think the 2nd period batch, with less vinegar, and the addition of cinnamon, was delicious! As for the pancakes themselves, there were three kinds: plain, bacon, and "fake bacon," though all were flavored with coriander and curry powder.
Not to be outdone, Afternoon Snack cooked up these delicious recipes: Fresh Mudburgers (James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl), Wormy Spaghetti (The Twits by Roald Dahl), Ice Cream Snowballs (American Girls), and Three Bean Salad (Jack and the Bean Stalk).
We substituted turkey for the beef in our mudburgers and topped them with relish (oh so revoltingly green!). The wormy spaghetti used 4 different kinds of pasta, including rotini worms (in place of fusilli). We had to work really fast to roll these snowballs! Dishing up ice cream out in the hot summer sun was a messy proposition. Monday's three bean salad was both tangy and sweet, though not necessarily a big hit with the class! We did have to substitute lima beans for the traditional yellow wax beans since I just couldn't find them in the grocery store this time.
Pictures for most of these great class activities can be found here:
We are up-to-date through Friday the 11th.
