As I Was Flipping Through My Phone by The Pioneer Woman

By sayrin animation at 12:02 No comments

I was flipping through the photo stream on my phone in search of a photo that I would never find, and along the way I came across photos from the past month that I don’t think I’ve shared with you. Or, if I have shared them with you, I can’t remember that I have shared them with you. The first one was this photo of the Merc sign. It makes me happy, because The Merc makes me happy. We’re in a slower time of year, before Presidents’ Day and Spring Break is upon us, and it has given us a chance to catch our breath, get everything gussied up, and enjoy!

Speaking of enjoy, I love it when the geese pass through and park in our pond.

They’re usually around for a good couple of weeks, and by the end of their stay, they don’t even honk and fly away when I walk outside.

I love that honking sound!

This is one of those “have I posted this before?” photos. It’s Fred and Rusty, our pups (I mean my pups.) They smell like miniature Fritos, and they are just a delight.

As I was flipping through my phone, I found this side-by-side comparison of Ralphie as a boy and then as an adult. My friend sent it to me around Christmastime and it made me smile.

Ralphie! You’ve changed!

Our school had its football banquet before Christmas, and it was such a treat. Notable was the fact that every single player on the team made the academic team, meaning they all had a 3.0 grade point or above for their first semester.

I think this is pretty cool! Our new coach emphasizes academics, and the kids have all jumped in and given it their all.

There were a lot of awards that night. Bryce got Offensive Player of the Year, and I tried not to clap any louder than I clapped when all the other kids got their respective awards.

(It was hard. Go Brycie!)

Now Bryce and Todd are both deep into wrestling season…and let me tell you, I am HOOKED. My older brother wrestled, so I do have some background in attending matches and recognizing what’s going on…but watching my boys wrestle takes things to a whole new level. (Above shot is last week’s wrestling homecoming.) It is EXCITING and Ladd and I act exactly like Aly Raisman’s parents when they watch their daughter compete in the Olympics.

Yep. We get it.

The sun is finally shining for a sustained period of time today, and this is after a good month of grey, drab, dreary, dark, rainy, sad, blah weather. My soul needs the sun! It is shriveling!

I have 85 recipes shot for my new cookbook. Oh my goodness, it’s a fun one! This is one of my low carb and low cal recipes for the cookbook.

Just kidding.

Fried red tomato sandwich for the win!!!

I sent this selfie to Ladd when he and Bryce were in Dallas for a few days a couple of weeks ago. In the days and weeks before he went to Dallas, I had been a complete mess, with no makeup, yoga pants with holes, and crazy hair, and I wanted him to know that I still clean up nice.

Speaking of clean up nice…this guy had a birthday last week. After the surprise party he had thrown me, we spent his birthday at the boys’ wrestling match, then went home and had chocolate cake and opened presents at 9:30 pm. I had found him the Carhartt style of jacket he likes—one that is less common and more difficult to find, and two ten-packs of Carmex. I also got him five working shirts for summer that are the kind of thin fabric he loves, and two brown belts since his is wearing out.

He declared it the perfect birthday, and knowing what I know about him, I totally believed him.

Happy Monday, friends! Hope your week is off to a wonderful start!

Mirepoix 101 by Erica

Mirepoix 101 by Erica

What is Mirepoix?

Mirepoix is a mix of aromatic vegetables that form the base of a dish. It’s composed of onion, celery, and carrots. You can use other ingredients (as we’ll see in a bit), but that trio is the most well-know combo.

It may seem like a humble mix, but the flavor it can impart to a dish shouldn’t be underestimated!

How Do You Pronounce Mirepoix?

I used to say “meer-eh-pwah,” but after doing a little digging, I realized that the proper way to say it is “meer-PWAH.” 2 syllables instead of 3, apparently. So now I tend to say it in my best French accent and feel so fancy. I just hope no real French people ever overhear me. *Wink*

How Do You Prepare Mirepoix?

Traditionally, you want a ratio of 2 parts onion and 1 part each of celery and carrots. Or 50% onion, 25% celery, and 25% carrot. But if you prefer a higher amount of any one of these vegetables, don’t feel bad about breaking the rules to fit your personal taste. It’s more important to try to cut each of these vegetables into similar sizes. They all cook at about the same rate, so if they’re the same size they will cook more evenly.

Here’s a quick tip: if you’re making a small mirepoix, you can make several cuts along the length of the celery to get a more similar size to the carrots and onions.

You can cut your vegetables into different sizes, depending on the type of dish you’re making. The thing to consider is how long the dish will take to cook. A fast-cooking dish requires a smaller cut, whereas something that cooks longer can withstand a chunkier cut. Here is an example of a more medium-sized mirepoix. Notice that the onion, celery, and carrots are still similar in size to each other.

For something that will cook a long time, such as a stock, you can cut the vegetables very roughly.

Perfect for making chicken broth!

Can You Use Other Ingredients?

Of course! For example, if you don’t want the mirepoix to color your final dish, you could use parsnips instead of carrots, or even button mushrooms.

You could also add a bouquet garni for some added flavor. A bouquet garni is just a little bundle of herbs that you cook along with the other vegetables. It makes it really handy for removing the herbs before serving.

How Do You Cook Mirepoix?

It’s super simple. Just heat some butter or oil over low heat, add the vegetables, and cook until tender. Usually you want to try to avoid browning the vegetables. But if you’re going for a more caramelized flavor, you can go ahead and char them a bit!

I know it’s probably not proper, but I like to put a lid on my pot so that the veggies cook faster. Just watch out: they can go from almost done to burned really quickly.

What Types of Dishes Can You Use Mirepoix In?

You can use mirepoix in lots of different recipes! Usually it forms the base of soups, stews, sauces, braises, and casseroles.

Chicken noodle soup is a classic that utilized this trio of vegetables. But here are some more examples to get your creative juices flowing:
