What Have You Cooked Recently?

Meatloaf. Mixed beef with minced onion(still clearing out my spice rack of all the old stuff, so no fresh onion in this one)., garlic, pepper, salt, and barbecue sauce. Tossed it into a baking dish and cooked it at 375f for approximately 50 minutes.

I really want to experiment with barbecue sauces. I'm going to do just that in March. I really enjoy vinegar-y sauces, so I'm going to try doing a semi-sweet/tangy barbecue sauce.

The potatoes were tossed lightly in extra virgin olive oil then air fried(holy hell I love that appliance). Then I topped the taters lightly with some goya adobo seasoning.

The carrot is raw. I like my carrots raw. I know, I'm fucking weird. It is what it is! I give them a good scrubbing before I eat them, though. I usually toss carrots into a dish I'm cooking last so they only heat up slightly rather than cook. Unless its soup or something I'm cooking for others.

You are not alone in this regard. I simple peel and eat a carrot raw as well.
Sometimes I dip it in ranch sauce, most times I just eat them.

anyone have tips for making hard boiled eggs tasty? I have to eat 24 of them
Cut them in half lengthwise, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then some Tabasco sauce.
That is how I eat them anyway. (Warning: Do not use too much Tabasco sauce if you are eating 24 of them in a row. Your rectum will thank me.)

Here is a Chinese recipe for hard boiled eggs that my Mother often makes. Gives a nice flavor to them.

Butter, pepper, salt, dill. If you use salted butter skip on adding salt. The extra salt will result in the eggs tasting awful. Really good with proper homemade bread.

I like to do 2-3(depending on egg size) hardboiled eggs, 3 strips of bacon, 2 slices of toast. Sometimes I'll switch it up and do hashbrowns instead of bacon.

Oh man, EGG SALAD!

Hardboiled eggs, lemon juice, lil bit of mayo (or greek yogurt, plain and tart) and stone ground mustard, celery, green onions, fresh parsley and dill diced up, maybe an avocado? Experiment my friend, egg salad is wicked good, I like it on a whole wheat toasted pita with lettuce tomato onion and radishes

Sourdough is also a great option, tangier the better
 
Rate my pizza. It's a 3 cheese (old Gouda, Gruyer Vieux, and Parmesan) with capers.View attachment 5671277
Hmm... crust looks good, decent rise with bubbles at the edges, decent char, I'd have to see the bottom to be sure but the crust works for me

Good melt on the top too, not too greasy, looks like you had a nice uniform spread

Can't say I'm a big fan of capers on pizza but you got the basic idea down it would appear, the rest is just details
 
Can't say I have ever thought of putting capers on pizza. I neither like nor hate them just hmm.
Capers on pizza are usually found on sizillian and neapolitan pizza, most often paired sardines or tomatoes and fresh buffalo mozarella

The bottom isn't as charred or crusty as I would have liked it to be. I'm missing a proper pizza stone and an oven that goes above 250°C

Capers I usually use with salmon so hmm, I guess if the pizza had some fish on it, it might work. Not sure I would use tomato sauce. Probably some cream based sauce. I almost thought of pesto, but I don't think that would work with capers and fish together. At anyrate, user name checks out.

I think the best set up period for an indoor pizza oven is you have a umluftofen/convection oven and a pizza stone, though I personally use a pizza steel. I just like them better. You sure as shit can't break them and I find them very easy to clean.

Last night I made blueberry muffins (Jack Scalfani followers will know why)
They turned out a tiny bit denser than I'd like, but otherwise very tasty. They will be my breakfast for the next several days. Or single day, depending on how much I want to emulate Jack.

I had extra batter so I used it up in a mini donut pan.

Dish I've probably described here before, tilapia with steamed broccoli, couscous (wheat grits) and falafel (bean hushpuppies). The tilapia is served with sauteed onion and toasted almonds on it.

I didn't know how to steam vegetables until recently. I hadn't bothered to look it up. Apparently it is just to simmer it - right below boiling - in a thin layer of water. I very much prefer steaming it over boiling or roasting, it loses its texture if you boil it.
