Recipe of the Day

It seems to be crazy busy today. I started the day by making sausage, peppers and onions for Harry to share at work. That was at 7:30 this morning. I've been busy cleaning, organizing and so on ever since.

So today I'm leaving a recipe that I tried last night. It was so simple and so tasty. I found it in Martha Stewart's everday food magazine.

HOMINY SAUTE

1 Tblsp vegetable oil

2 cans (14 oz. each) hominy, rinsed and drained

4 to 5 scallions, thinly sliced

1 pint grape tomatoes, halved

1 Tblsp cider vinegar

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add hominy and scallions, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions are softened. 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and add vinegar; season with salt and pepper.

The changes I made were: I didn't have grape tomatoes so I cut up regular tomatoes but removed the seeds and I didn't have cider vinegar, so I used red wine vinegar. It was like a warm salad. Yummy and light.

Thanks Martha!!

OK, it's supposed to say "The German Purpose". Sorry, it's not supposed to sound like something straight out of the Furor's mouth. One of my purposes to add to the list is to relearn what I learned in German I. And fast! So should I start blogging in German and make all of you download German/English dictionaries, or is someone going to step up to the plate and maybe leave some comments in German? Or maybe you have another idea? Any advice would help. And if someone could make any corrections to "mein" title it would be greatly appreciated. Danke!

By the way, Harry jarred a huge bunch of peppers last night, he brought a whole bunch for people at work, I've been chopping some up for sausage peppers and onions and then there's just a bunch to freeze. The table is mostly usable now. Hurray!
