I fried an egg in a 100 year old cast iron pan that belonged to my great grandmother. I don't think I will ever get used to cast iron. But that's all we have here.

Cast iron absolutely will last 100 years if taken care of. Made a pineapple cake in mine. I mostly use mine for baking stuff in the oven like German pancakes but it genuinely adds something to the food. Or I bring it camping and cook eggs in it.

Soy sauce and cola chicken wings, a coworker from northern China made some for us but I never got her recipe so I just used a random one I found online, apparently it's a popular thing in China.

I've played with using cola in cooking, had some decent experimental results but nothing really amazing.

Yeah the wings were pretty good but nothing amazing, I think the key is to not over do it with the cola, I used just a cup when most recipes call for a can. I think she used pepsi rather than coke which, to me anyway, is a lot less sweet. They weren't as good as her's so I'm going to mess around with it more.

my first attempt was half a pork loin, a bag of dried chili peppers, and howevermuch cola to drown them in
I was happy I didn't marinate it.

Yeah from what I learned you just marinate it in soy sauce for 15 or so minutes than add the cola as it cooks in the pan, wish I got her recipe but her home life alway seems sketchy - she had a Mongol husband and they ran a fake Mongolian language school out of their shitty apartment so I was never sure of their legal status and who knows where they are now.

it's the little things that make life interesting
like when the Sri Lankans your aunt knows through the school she works at ask you about internet anonymization for some Tiger people and it isn't until years later you find out what they were talking about
they had damn good food though

Yeah after we lost contact I sort of became interested in learning Mandarin but then I learnt about the average mainland Chinese and lost interest pretty fast.

Last thing I made was some pesto pasta with sausage, easy to make but a bit more impressive than spaghetti.

A bunch of apple crisp after Apple picking
And pineapple fried rice
I never realized how fluffy and nice eggs are on high heat instead of low and slow
And a apple cider reduction to mix with bourbon

Made a beef stew in my Instapot. It took much longer overall than I was thinking (about 2 hours prep to cool) but it turned out pretty tasty. Like any beef stew the recipe was basically just a shitload of potatoes, carrots and onion mixed with stew meat, seasoning and beef stock. I added some fresh cut jalapeno for garnish.
 
Yesterday I had a bunch of chicken tenderloins that were at "cook it now or throw it out tomorrow" so I sauteed the fuck out of them with minced garlic, salt, pepper and paprika with a lid on so it got very cooked. Today I breaded them by dipping in canola oil, then breading of seasoned bread crumbs, pepper, paprika, and "kickin' chicken", then backed them at 375 for around ten minutes.
Turned out surprsingly decent for non-fried tendies.
