When Bad Foods Happen
Ugh! I hate it when I actually cook something and it turns out yucky! I hate it bc I went grocery shopping, paid for that stuff, hauled it home. The cooking part is fine, I enjoy it anyway. This ham and spring peas casserole required a cooked ham steak for $4.50, a clamshell of fresh thyme for $3, and a quart of whole milk, which I usually don't buy. The last itme I bought milk I used a half cup and the rest sat in the fridge for 3 months. It was disgusting.
Other items, which are not a total waste of money -- half a pan of cornbread, frozen peas, eggs, salt.
It seemed like a good idea. I even ate it fresh out of the oven and it was ok. I thought, I don't love it but I can eat it. Today I tried reheating it and eating it. UGH.
I think the cornbread is the problem. It is too sweet. Northern cornbread. I like eating that straight or crumbled on chili. But use it for a filling in what is essentially an egg casserole and it is not good.
Right now I am baking some texas cheese toast instead. *sigh* I cannot afford to cook if I am going to give the results to the dog.
Oh if you are wondering what is so bad --
Crumble 2 cups of cornbread in a bowl, toss with 1-1/2 cups cooked ham chopped, 1 cup defrosted frozen peas, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme. Put into buttered baking dish. Pour over a mix of 3 eggs, 1 additional yolk, 2 cups whole milk and salt, beaten. Let sit for 15 minutes, Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
