The Thread About Food for Eating Returns (Again)

[Sunny-D]

I just made some spinach ravioli. It turned out a little undercooked, but tastes great anyways, and I'll know better for next time. Not bad for a first attempt.

Tonight I made some low carb beef pho with bulgogi meat and shiritaki noodles from H-Mart. PSA: If you're going to eat shiritaki noodles, eat maybe half a packet a couple of times so your stomach gets used to them. I ate a whole packet for the first time in a couple of months and my stomach is killing me.

I attempted to make a smoothie this morning. I ended up with a banana-apple sludge with bits of kale in it because smoothies are apparently more than "throw shit in blender, clamp lid, pray." As uh, chewy as it was it at least tasted good. Maybe a little too much front lawn.

The other night I was craving a hamburger but wanted a lot of meat. I made a patty, stuffed with goat cheese, seared that bad boy blue rare (mmm squishy inside meats) and topped with an over-easy egg. So not a traditional burger but absolutely fucking delicious. There was a lot of fresh black pepper and garlic powder and a pinch of sea salt too.

Today I diced up leftover sausage patties and added them to scrambled eggs as they cooked. The result did not disappoint in the slightest.

Recently I tried out spicy goetta. As good as it was, I was disappointed in the lack of heat. There wasn't even a kick to it at all. At least I made a pretty good goetta burger out of it today!

I baked some breaded chicken, dabbed some mayo and a smidge of sweet and sour on some bread, sprinkled a few pickles on for good measure, then proceeded to devour the shit out of both sandwiches I made.

Hello there, old Marella here will teach you how to make one of the best Brazilian desserts ever.
Are you ready for some fodendo Brigadeiros?

First things first, here's what you will need:
- 1 teaspoon butter, plus more for greasing hands
- One 14-ounce can condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- Chocolate sprinkles (you can use sugar instead)

Let's do it:
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the condensed milk and cocoa powder. Cook the mixture until it thickens enough so you can clearly see the bottom of the pan when stirring, about 15 minutes. The consistency should be firm enough to stay together. Pour it directly into a dish and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

Lightly grease your hands with butter and roll about a teaspoon of brigadiero between your palms to form 1 1/2-inch balls.

Roll them in your favorite chocolate sprinkles or sugar.

Spoiler: Should be looking like this

@Marella, any dessert involving copious amounts of condensed milk is automatically on my radar for immediate consumption.

I'm taking Mr. Multiples to a fantastic churrascaria tonight. I've been there a few times and am always blown away. I usually don't eat anything cooked over medium rare but their meat is so tender and delicious it doesn't even phase me.

The tricky part is that I'm fucking starving now and trying not to ruin my dinner.

 

[hm yeah]

i've been feeling "low tolerance" for a while. in my mid-20's, my barely-existent metabolism took another nosedive. now i can't even handle ramen and shit, it's too much for me.

but after a really hard working day, i had a spinach guac salad at work.

just spinach, mixed with guacamole, and with generous amounts of tomatoes and a few olives on it, with water.

delish, simple, and refreshing.

 

[AnimuGinger]

Fried rice has returned. And I underestimated the power of my chili peppers.

I'm growing scotch bonnets and bhut jolokia. Suggestions on what to do with them?

 

[hm yeah]

so, i decided to do this:

You wanna great substitute for sour cream? Bake onions in their shell until they're very, very soft. Puree with a bit of olive oil and some sea salt on high until very smooth, let chill. Use as you would use sour cream.

Delish.

[–]trusttheskinnychef 2 points 3 hours ago

Just make sure you take the onions far enough. Low heat and loooooong cooking times are much better than rushing it. You can start the process at the beginning of meal prep, and finish the process right before bed.

The lower and longer the process takes, the better.

[–]trusttheskinnychef 1 point 3 hours ago

It is, I learned it from a chef online. Animal fats are delicious, but they're very pronounced and they can mute the flavors of fresh herbs and vegetables (i.e. in a broccoli soup). Onion puree add that nice richness from the oil and a great spicy/sweet aspect from the onion without introducing animal fats.

in the large crockpot on "hi" for 5:30:00. and i threw in 3/4 of a head of garlic because why not.

and then i remembered i had most of a big ol' eggplant laying around, so feeling spontaneous i decided to cut it lengthwise, scrape out the center a bit, and put in black pepper, salt, white onion, a chive, some frank's hot sauce, 3 cloves of garlic, and some oregano and rosemary. then i skewered it together and stuck it in.

however it will be, it's sure to be delicious.

Cheap storebought Pepperoni pizza.

All I need is some boxed wine and I'll be one classy bitch.

Time for our first episode of Cooking with Marvin!

Today we're going to be having beer simmered sausages, Baltimore style!

Spoiler: Ingredients

We've got onions, mushrooms, Ostrowski's sausages, Natty Boh and, of course, Old Bay.

Prick the sausage casings with a fork a few times (so the delicious beer can penetrate).

Spoiler: Dump all the dry ingredients into a pot

Spoiler: Add two cans of Natty Boh (the third is for you to drink while cooking)

Simmer for like 15 minutes and then...

Spoiler: Grill the sausages and vegetables in a hot skillet

Spoiler: Serve with your choice of condiments (coarse ground mustard, in my case)

Grab yourself another boh, sit back and watch the O's game!

 

[GRANDnumberofMULTIPLES]

@Marvin, that sounds (and looks) fucking delicious.

This morning I had oatmeal with some cinnamon, a drizzle of condensed milk, and loads of fresh sliced strawberries. Later this week I will be making a whole roast chicken.

I wanted vegetable pizza really bad. So I made the mistake of buying one of the deli pizzas at Walmart and putting six tons of vegetables on it. The crust got soggy and stuck to the pan. The vegetables were delicious though.

 

[The Fair Lady]

I've been wanting to try to make petit fours for a while now. They don't look too complicated, plus they're adorable. I love cute little sweets like these.

Food trucks are probably the best thing ever. My twitter is full of my food adventures, like today I got this:

Crab fondue fries. They were awesome.

That looks pretty delicious.

I made a bunch of burgers that I seasoned with some stuff I always use (Worchestershire sauce, pepper, garlic & herb seasoning, creole seasoning, steak seasoning) earlier since my sister bought some patties for everyone. As far as I heard, they were all good though I honestly would like to know what the bad is with them.

 

[Dr. Boe Jangles Esq.]

I prepped my crockpot for tomorrow.
Beef in Stout with Herb Dumplings.
I use this recipe:
http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/beef/beef-and-stout-stew-with-herb-dumplings.html
But I like to use corn oil instead of sunflower (no real reason, that's just what my mom used), and I like to toss in some chopped celery and potatoes.
Serve it with thick, hearty bread and a pint (or four) of Guinness.
Best meal you'll ever have.

I made the mistake of grilling vegetable kabobs on a grill pan on the stove this morning. I turned the exhaust fan, but it still smoked up the house. good job, Copernicus.
