Mom makes a huge crockpot of borscht. I eat some.
Me: “Mmmm, that’s good, I like it!”
Mom: “Good, you can have it. I think it tastes like barf.”

I was trying to find a single serving recipe for borscht but for some reason every recipe that claimed to be one serving either wanted 2+ beets or a pound of meat. Like that’s a lot of one ingredient for a one serving multi-ingredient recipe

I made borscht! It’s fairly nice. It’s a relatively standard recipe (grated beets, carrots, onion, bit of garlic, some tomatoes, pork shoulder) but I made some changes. Mainly ommitting cabbage/sauerkraut because Bad Texture, using lemon for some acid, and eating it on a bed of boiled potatoes. The potato being cooked separately is very important for texture, the pork is tender (my Russian friend says her grandmother uses pork more often than beef), and the sour cream is nice.
Soup.

On my period, cramping and cranky. And what do I have to eat for lunch this week?
Borscht.
Bright red beet soup.
The look of it bothers my hubby. I think it’ll make a great food prop for cannibals eating people in films. Either way, this bleeding menstruating gal is going to get her borscht and consider harvesting her blood for paintings. Maybe a summoning circle? Who knows!

At the suggestion of my long distance partner (C♏) I made Borscht last night! It was delicious! Which is surprising because I definitely don’t like beets. But I personally couldn’t taste them. My nesting partner (P♎) however, was not a fan :/ he said he could taste the beets more prominently.
I’ll bring some over to D♑ and A♈ because they wanted to try some ☺️ and we DEFINITELY have left overs lol

Borscht
My car is in the shop so I had to walk to the store to get the ingredients. Could have called my mom but I thought, “Why not? It’s not that far.”
I am sore. But it was ✨️worth it✨️.
Beets, carrots, cabbage, onion, celery, potatoes, garlic, chicken stock, water, chicken bouillon, few tbsp of vinegar, and a sprinkling of sugar. Topped with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkled with fresh dill.
It was ✨️heavenly✨️
Definitely making this again.

*making a soup cause I’m feeling sick* man I wish I was back in the big city so I could get some good pho. This will heal me though.
*soup stock of beef bones, onions, garlic, herbs* aw man this stock doesn’t taste great. Tomorrow I’ll add some of that yu choy I haven’t tried before and some pork dumplings.
*tomorrow comes* aw man this soup still isn’t great.
it doesn’t have acidity
Maybe it needs some more umami? and salt?
*adds soy sauce* Okay it’s edible now but tastes like McDonald’s for some reason. And the dumplings are undercooked.
listen to me. Like the internet chef you like said: salt fat acid heat. You’re missing acid.
A lime might make it more like pho but this is really not like pho and I don’t have a lime. I’m going to bed. *soup goes in fridge*
I’m not looking forward to this but I have no other food in the house and I made so much.
my child. Acidity
huh the soggy dumplings kinda look like perogies.
FINALLY we’re getting through to her. caN YOU HEAR US CHILD IT NEEDS ACIDITY
Some spice should make me forget about the disappointment.
sobbing
And hey, Frank’s Hot Sauce is vinegar-based. Maybe this will add some acidity
distant cheering, getting closer
Hey, this is actually pretty good! I guess it really did just need acidity! *slowly realizes* hey why does this taste like borscht?
*my Mennonite ancestors* WE KNEW YOU COULD DO IT CHILD WE WERE ROOTING FOR YOU NOW GO BUY SOME WHITE VINEGAR SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN
