Good luck with the challenge!
I accept defeat 😞

Week August 26th
Two ingredients ( ice cream and self rising flour). Easy right!
Pinterest has a Ben and Jerry ice cream bread video which explains the recipe. You can also find other ice cream bread recipes on the internet. They all are pretty much the same. 2 pints of melted ice cream to 3 cups of self rising flour.
Not to scare anyone from this challenge, but I personally have tried the recipe on 3 different occasions. I will not be making it again for a long while. There is a saying “3 strikes and you are out”. Well, that is where I am at.
1st try:   (Haagen-Dazs Butter Pecan).  I did not let the ice cream completely melt. Mistake!  Ice cream and flour did not get completely mixed. I also think it needed to be in the oven longer then the recipe I followed called for. Edges of the bread tasted 👍The center was not completely done☹️
2nd try:  (Ben and Jerry  Cinnamon Buns). Tried the above recipe again.  Melted the ice cream, followed the directions. This time I added 10 minutes more cooking time, checked the center, looked good, took it out and it slightly fell in the center. Again the bread tasted 👍 could of used more cooking time.
3rd try:   ( Ben and Jerry  Pecan Sticky Buns).  This time I followed the video recipe. I also tried a glass loaf pan instead of my metal ones.
Everything was going 👍 The bread looked perfect. 😀
I slide the oven rack out a bit so I could take out the bread. I tried to pick up the pan with my oven mitts, it tipped over, the bread slid out of the pan, fell over the back of the oven rack and imbedded itself in the lower oven rack.😫 In trying to get the bread out of the oven, I burnt several fingers and my elbow. What was left of the bread tasted 👍
Good luck with the challenge 🙂

I made a horned fruit smoothie, that contained watermelon and strawberries as well.  The horned fruit is apparently like a cross between a cucumber and kiwi.  It had a very strong cucumber taste which, even though I got very little juice out of the fruit, really overpowered the other flavors.  I was not a huge fan of it, but then I'm not a huge fan of cucumber.
As for the omelet, Mom and I worked together to make modified western omelet grilled cheese sandwiches.  We also made breakfast potatoes, which did not brown as "easily" as the recipe claimed they would.

# data[].attributes.body
It was really awkward to get anything usable out of this fruit, because it was full of these huge seeds that the green "flesh" part clung to like slime. I had to scoop the insides into a metal strainer and then mash it against the side to try to strain the juice from around the seed. I didn't seem like I got much juice out of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Since I was at Mom's and she has a plethora of unusual fruit at her grocery store, I tried a horned fruit (which apparently has a ton of other names... I also saw how huge a jack fruit was - had no idea!)

# data[].attributes.body
It has banana and mango in it as well. (Had an interesting time trying to get the mango cut properly - tried to use what I learned from Hercule Poirot... but had to get instructions off the internet) It was really smooth but tasted more like banana than key lime. Which is undoubtedly due to my shady math, because the recipe was only for 2 servings....so I thought I'd do a little multiplication, which led to the smoothing overflowing over the top of the blender. Surprise, surprise.

# data[].attributes.body
This was way too tart for me. I think it would have been better if I had better luck with the graham cracker crust. It was supposed to go up the sides of the pan but I had a lot of problems, so it only was on the bottom. I also forgot to run a knife around the outside of the pan after taking it out of the oven, so instead of keeping the pristine top when it came out of the oven, it cracked.

A person Tim works with lost and recovered his keys in a rather dramatic way, so Tim asked me to make a keylime pie.  Which I did, plus a few other things...
Everyone seemed to really like this. Homemade Martha Steward whipped topping!

White dish had French Enchiladas - chicken, a creamy white sauce (with a very french name with nutmeg on it) sauteed onions (I left the mushrooms out), a roasted tomato and garlic sauce on top - and they SHOULD have been wrapped in crepes... but after fighting the tortillas I had no flour left to make crepes, so they were wrapped in the remainder deformed tortillas.
The tan dish has shrimp and crab enchiladas with cheesy cream sauce with green chilies.

# data[].attributes.body
White dish had steak enchiladas - left side had mild veggies, right side had more peppers and hotter spices, though I was assured it was not overly spicy.  Clear dish had chicken enchiladas - left side with mild veggies and right side with more peppers.   AND I made my own tortillas - which I will NEVER do again.  I fought with the dough for aver an hour, throwing flour at it left and right, but it stuck to everything any way, refused to make anything resembling a round shape - I got rectangles, squares, triangles, and phallic shapes - I even got a few that looked like the dough was flicking me off, but not round.  The closest I got to round was a tortilla that looked like a paint splatter. Then putting it in the pan - it didn't want to go in the pan, it wanted to flip over the side, or stick to itself, or wrinkle, or rip in half... Now don't get me wrong, the finished tortillas were soft, and when cooked, the color looked just like it should, but no one could use them in any functional sense.

# data[].attributes.body
What is a good enchilada dinner without salsa?  Upper left corner is cucumber salsa (with fresh cucumbers from Tim's mutant cucumber plant and fresh cilantro).  Lower left corner is bacon slasa.  Lower right corner is a tomato based pico, and upper right corner is fruit salsa.  Center is salsa verde (with avocado to make it creamy) and off to the right is guacamole. I think it is safe to say I have mastered the fine art of chopping tiny tiny veggies and fruits. Use the avocado tool - very slick. And diced so many jalepenos my fingers started to burn... I understand now why people wear gloves.

# data[].attributes.body
As I posted earlier, while I ate Mom's French meal, I hadn't actually made my own, and before I got to it, enchiladas showed up.  So I contemplated - Do you think there  are French enchiladas out there?  And the answer is - YES!  Tim asked "What's in them, fuagra?"  and was not excited about eating them.  So I decided to make some other types enchiladas to appease him.  But, as we all know, I can't make half-recipes, which meant that if I did more than one type of enchilada, there would be a shit-ton of leftovers.  Usually I take them in to the Black Hawk's office, but then I thought - why not have them come over?  So, this led to making a French Enchilada feast.  (As you will see)

Tim was the grilling master, and I destroyed the kitchen.  I think everything tastes awesome... I even ate the black beans in the couscous!  Tim went back for seconds!  Of course that didn't make a dent in the mass amounts of food cooked... I will be taking it to Tim's coworkers at lunch tomorrow!

Now don't go making fun of what they look like, same struggle as the rolls, and Owen did the shaping of the pretzels, but they did taste great with the cheese dip, which I neglected taking a picture of

# data[].attributes.body
They came out a little on the flat side, I had a great helper in Owen, but I think between making and baking these and the pretzels along with answering 1000 continuous questions while having Owen make and Mike most of it, there may have been too much, too little, or completely missing I ingredients lol.

Finally got to the pizza challenge. The kids only like pepperoni pizza (or cheese). For the other half, we also added mushrooms and olives. Cooked in a dutch oven on the fire pit. Should have added more seasoning to the meat crust, as it was kind of bland.
