What Have You Cooked Recently?

So I took about a pound of ground beef, mixed in chopped jalapenos, habaneros and onions, added in a dash of ponzu sauce and some various spices, formed it into vaguely cylindricaly-shaped patties around a stick of mozzarella string cheese. Then I brushed on this gojuchang sauce I've been putting on everything lately, (baked it) and put it on some kings hawiian hot dog buns. The cheese melted inside of the "burger" perfectly.

Oh and I sauteed some mushrooms and some more peppers for garnish.

I'm in-process of making some ghetto knock-off Scotch Eggs.
I've read it's basically "make hard-boiled eggs, peel them, wrap them in pork sausage done up like meatballs, bake/fry them until the meat cooks", so I've got some eggs I need to burn through before they go bad and some ground beef I'll meatball up.

edit-
Not a success but I'm on the right track.
I need to use way more ground beef, like, probably a baseball size when done wrapping around the egg.
Wiggled around the fact it wasn't sausage by adding worstichire, sirracha, paprika, pepper, and salt. Not bad.

Not necessarily something I'll go out of my way to make but if I need to use up eggs I'll definitely keep it in mind.

I tried squid ink pasta the other night with some roasted garden-fresh tomatoes and a little balsamic vinegar. Very tasty, the pasta itself doesn't have a very distinct flavor like I thought it would so the flavors didn't clash. I'd never tried squid ink pasta before so I didn't know what to expect.

This (https://www.saveur.com/gascon-cornbread-recipe) sourdough cornbread, and I made some chilli from scratch to go on top. Added a bit of some porter I was drinking, to simmer it and meld all the flavors together. It's pretty good. I like spicy things, and I like soul food.

Normally I'd be an American and put Fritos in chilli, in fact I think I may be the odd one out, but chilli on cornbread just reminds me of like, real southern food type shit. Beans and cornbread, you know?

A prepackaged stirfry thing I got from Walmart. All that came in it was two different sauces, you added chicken and veggies to it. Came out pretty good, not too salty or too sweet (it was a teriyaki style)

I grilled a panini that had black bean hummus, goat cheese and feta cheese on a whim. It was good, but some turkey (actual fucking meat) and avocado would have really made it.

I was going to make shit on a shingle-ish beef stroganoffish stuff with noodles, but there's no clean pans big enough. So spirals and cheese
heavy cream, cheddar,"swiss gruyere", butter, salt, pepper, paprika

not bad

SOS is one of my go to feel good meals.

Always always brown beef and cook garlic a bit first. You'd be amazed how many don't do that.

Made some roasted trout and stickleback for lunch, which are two of my favorite fishes. for seasoning I used sea salt, black pepper, lemon grass, sweet fennel and lovage, and I've also made the finny fellows some coats out of powdered paprika and corn flour to give them that extra crisp. As garnish I had some curry rice with baby spinach, bird's eye salad and pickled horseraddish. Food's gonna last for the entire remainder of the day, so I don't have to worry about dinner.

EDIT: my lazy online dictionary has fucked up, I meant gilt-head bream instead of stickleback.

Had no idea what to make last night, so I ended up browning a pound of ground beef along with about a half cup to a cup of frozen corn, probably about a third of a cup of chopped onion, and a very small reaper pepper. Added TJ's smoked ghost pepper flakes, garlic, salt, and a few other spices. Cooked a cup of macaroni, and then mixed together the beef, macaroni, and a handful of cheddar, and added a few shakes of powdered reaper.

It was pretty decent. Made enough for dinner and one portion leftover.

Been on a kick of making burritos. Got some Desert Pepper queso and had it as a dipping sauce for a chicken burrito.

Over night French toast. Soaked in the sauce overnight and bakes after dinner. Really great but it was probably because of all the butter and sugar. Convinced Italian bread is the best bread for French toast now though.

I like brioche. Challah would probably be good too.
 
Made no knead bread and pot roast for dinner.

I don’t really have a recipe for the pot roast. Start with approximately a 4lb chuck roast, and then I use two teaspoons of kosher salt, as much thyme, marjoram, and cumin as I think looks right, two bay leaves, a cup or more of cabernet (my family always has a box of Almaden in the fridge), some ground pepper, and enough water to make a good simmer liquid. Cook at 325F for 3 hours, then add veggies and cook for another 2 or so hours. Serve.

It was delicious.

Pepperidge farms swirled cinnamon bread. Or their brown sugar swirl, or the french toast swirl. All of them make amazing french toast.

My family tried it once and never looked back.

an onion, a bell pepper, can of mushrooms, heaping teaspoon of garlic and the olive oil from the jar (then I refill the jar's oil from the costco olive oil jug)
get that going with salt, pepper, paprika, jalapeno powder
toss in a slab of frozen beef (I get big cheap ground beef and freeze it in gallon bags at frozen patty thickness so I can just use it straight from the freezer)
stir it
toss in the remains of the can of casserole onions, then two eggs heavily beaten with a bunch of worcestershire sauce
stir and cook for a bit, cook it more
boiled some spiral noodles and tossed them in

good stuff

A chicken soup, I hand pulled a roasted chicken from Costco (god damn do I love them) stock, water cooked it down for a few hours, then tossed in a fuck ton of spinich and lastly cream cheese to thicken.

It worked, was slamming. It's same as adding any dairy but I read this and wanted to give it a whirl, don't let it scare you it's not differnet then splashing milk in.

Place holder for pic - assuming I remember ever.
