As I’ve mentioned before, the nights Laurie is out and about are always a bummer — but they also give me a chance to “experiment” with new recipes and meals.
(Which I’m sure Laurie’s happy about that — she doesn’t have to pretend she likes whatever it is I’m experimenting with :-).)
Last night was no different.
I decided I’d try something new with homemade pizza.

Got a craving to cook Sunday night and decided to give my hand at some salisbury steak — aka the poor man’s steak and one of my favorite cafeteria meals while growing up.
Yup. I’m the odd one that actually enjoyed salisbury steak from the school cafeteria. It was one of the top cafeteria meals, alongside the rectangular slices of pizza and the giant fried burritos.

Jonathan measures out the special sweatner

From our kitchen to yours…
Well the Cream Soda is now tucked away in our secret brewery, AKA pantry. We have to wait and see if it’s any good.
It takes 24-48 hours to brew/ferment, depending on how fast acting the yeast is.
We’ll let you know how it turns out.
Here’s the recipe we used:
1 cup of sugar
4 tbps of vanilla – we used 4.5-5 tbps to cover any yeast flavor
4 small pinches of yeast (about 1/4 tsp)
pour the ingredients into a 2 liter bottle
fill the rest of the bottle with water and shake until the ingredients have dissolved
screw the tap on tightly
leave the bottle to sit and ferment for 24-48 hours (or until the bottle feels hard when squeezed)
open and enjoy
