Scrambled Eggs. Pretty basic, but it's my favorite breakfast

WelperHelper99's Scrambled Eggs:
4 eggs
A bag of cheese of your choice, shredded
Table salt
Pepper
Milk

First crack the eggs into a bowl, get that pepper, personally like the kind you grind in the bottle, put that in, then salt, wish it up, really make sure to break up those yokes.

Get a medium sized pan, spray that shit, set the burner to medium. Dump in eggs. Put in roughly 2 handfuls of cheese

Next just stir it up, should be 5 ish minutes, and you have your eggs. Pour a glass of milk, and you have a king's breakfast

I threw a pork tenderloin on the grill. It was my first time, I was surprised that it's a pretty straight-forard process. (Directly on the grill, about 25 mins, turn a few times.) I made a rub with garlic powder, liquid smoke, umami seasoning blend (Target brand), and a little Accent (yes, straight msg). You can judge me if you want. Everyone loved it.

Also made a potato foil packet and grilled some corn.

little Accent (yes, straight msg).

There is literally nothing wrong with MSG. You will note a lot of "umami" seasonings say something on the label like "no added MSG."

"No ADDED MSG." Because they actually do have MSG in them. It's just not "added." It was there already.

I generally don't use Accent itself, but I almost always use fish sauce, soy sauce, tamari, worcestershire, anchovy sauce, etc. etc. They can say all day they don't have MSG, and sometimes they don't, but they have plenty of sodium, and plenty of glutamates. Literally the same shit, with the same effects.

lmfao my life is a fucking joke, two days ago I decided to log back in to the tor service because I missed the KF and the time off ended up not really being that nice, and one day in, my wireless keyboard stopped working on the device that reaches the onion site remarkably better so I've just been able to copy/paste until the replacement gets here or use the visual keyboard for very short posts.

Anyway. I made a lot of food recently as you can imagine and every time I thought of this thread.

Recent meals-
Saag paneer, as usual. Like thrice since I've been here last.
Summer rolls with just vegetables and rice noodles.
Steak, garlic spinach, and duck fat potatoes.
Street tacos with cilantro, lime, and white onion. I also made a salsa verde cremosa but I should have bought more tomatillos to make it just right. You live and you learn.
Zakuski- smoked herring, homemade pickled mushrooms, salmon eggs, dark rye bread, pickles. sprats, and of course and unfortunately for those of you who don't know what it is, kholodets which was horseradish flavored.
Greek salad.
Portobello burgers. Soy, ginger, garlic, mirin, a tiny bit of white miso mixed in because that's all I had.
Beet ''tartare'' made like a poke bowl, with edamame, rice, carrot, and red cabbage. Kids had a bit of beet, which they barely let touch their lips, so I had some shrimp prepared for them. Their rice also got stir-fried with minced up kimchi, whereas ours was stir-fried with loosely chopped kimchi and shiitake mushrooms.
Cabbage rolls with smoked paprika tomato sauce, half veal and half pork inside.
Couple's lung slice, which does not contain lung.
Twice baked potatoes with brisket leftovers from grilling with friends, with a green salad.
MotherfuCKING thin-sliced pork chops (which I hate eating and making) because it was a special request from someone in our family. I made a mustard sauce to make them acceptable for myself. Can't remember the side, probably roasted veg and garlic bread.
Homemade samosas, which was daunting because I hate deep-frying.
Potato and japanese-style curry croquettes with green salad.

I can't remember anymore. Glad to be back for whoever knows how long!

Just took a home-made, pretty much, cherry pie out of the oven. Like cherry pie, usually bake a frozen pie. That frozen pie costs about $6.48 at the military commissary, where food is sold at cost. If lucky, can get a huge 72-ounce cherry pie at Costco for about $13, but been a couple of years since they had cherry pies.

My recipe is pretty simple, got from mother. She used extra sugar, I don't. Made about a 12-inch pie, put in a lot of filling.

Here's what it cost to make that pie. All food bought at the commissary.

4 14.5 ounce cans of tart cherries - $13.72.
4 3 ounce packages of vanilla pudding - $4.28.
1 package of pre-made pie crusts - $3.88.
1 4-ounce stick butter - about $1.00.

So far, up to $22.88. Add 5% for commissary surcharge, makes it about $24. Not factoring in my time or cost of electricity used to cook the filling and then bake the pie.

As can be seen, can get about four good-quality frozen cherry pies or almost two Costco cherry pies for what it cost me to make this pie. My pie will taste better, but not twelve to eighteen dollars better. This is why I bake my own pie just a couple of times a year.

I always mix scrambled eggs in the pan with cream cheese, you're basically making an omelet over there.

Tomorrow I'm going to make a tomato soup. Pray for me that my blender doesn't explode when I get to the last step [why would it? No idea but whatever.]. Got some sourdough bread to make grilled cheese sandwiches to go with the soup. Recs for a cheese to add to sharp cheddar for the sandwiches?

Also thinking taco Monday or Tuesday this week [I have kids home from college and as a semi-empty-nester am out of practice planning and prepping actual dinners on a regular basis...all suggestions welcomed].

Mozzarella?

Today I made honey mustard ribs in the oven, slow cooked meats are one of my favorite things to make.
Based on a Bobby Flay recipe.

Made tri tip and garlic bread for the fam and had some blood orange ale to go with it!

Lemon-blueberry muffins

Spoiler: Muffins

Fat ladyfingers which I was going to use in tiramisu, but they were unruly and ended up being between a lady finger and a madeleine, so they got dipped in coffee and cold cocoa instead.

Spoiler: Fat

Tiramisu with a lady finger recipe sponge cake. Fuck piping. Way too much rum in this one.

Today made a simple lentil stew for dinner, had some chicken wings, a carrot, two green chili peppers, and a bit of tomato paste. Put the carrot to the food processor along with garlic and ginger, browned those, dredged the wings in flour cayenne salt pepper, then browned them, added diced chili peppers, then added some tomato paste and water and lentils and thirty minutes later had a splendid one pan dinner

As a red-blooded patriot I go with the cheap offbrand Kraft like singles for tomato soup but I think provolone would probably be good.

Dude Kroger wouldn't do me dirty, their American cheese is better actually.

I don't have Kroger where I live, but I probably have more than one Kirkland brand (Costco) item in my house, and you're right - store brand is sometimes good or even superior.

I just got a combination air fryer and pressure cooker. I'm thinking about some good easy chicken breast recipes I can use for it. Throw some recommendations at me if you got them!

I would try replicating chik-fil-a, what is the name of this machine?
