Weekend Engagement in 300 words

Weekend started with a trip to town, I have been food experimenting, learning to make creamy and pureed soups. Using a standard blender is not a very safe thing to do with hot fluid, so we went to find a handheld immersion blender.

Over the last couple of weeks I have made my first total home made no cans involved tomato soup, and a potato leek soup. The tomato soup blending process was just a tad bit scary. You can not have the blender lid fully locked on, and the top cup part needs to be loose and given a gap so the steam build up can escape and not build into an explosive escape.

The first time a couple of drops of hot tomato soup did escape and two hit me in the face, a good thing I had glasses on. The stuff was hot. I was pretty lucky I thought I had it under control and knew what could happen, but even so a few drops did still get me. So dipstick style blender hunt was on.

Along with the soups, I have been learning to make a white cheese sauce for noodle dishes. and I am unsure what I will experiment with on Monday, but tomorrow I will hopefully be able to pick up a couple of other cheeses. My first experiment was with Monterey Jack cheese. I want to try adding in a Pepper Jack cheese since it has all those nice peppers in it.

Other than thinking about soup and cheese practice I pretty much plan on taking it pretty easy this weekend. Watch some Amazon prime shows, and play some games, and of course look at Hive. After our shopping Friday we stopped by the beach for a quick view.

Thats all.
