What Have You Cooked Recently?

I cooked Salmon fillet, blackened, spiced it with coriander, paprika, black pepper, lemon zest and a bit of cinnamon. Served that on top of a bed of spinach and mexican rice.
Sounds pretty damn amazing.
They are, but hey now I have some beef fat to work with
Good point, the stearic acid you only get from beef is a better lard than bacon grease IMO since it tends to be milder.

As for myself, I think I'm going to experiment with baking again tomorrow. I'm tempted to make a form of spicy dough that I then use to wrap cheese up with and cook it.
 
A pot roast from Wal-Mart. Burned again. Wal-Mart pot roasts are horrible and now I remember again why I don't buy those there.

Everything else about it was good though and it's all getting eaten.
 
Cincinnati chili with spaghetti. Definitely a new taste but I prefer my spaghetti with red sauce and my chili tasting like chili and not some bastardized version with cloves and cumin.

I made homemade corned beef hash on Monday. Turned out pretty good, I gotta find some way to spice it up a little because potatoes, oinions, and corned beef is pretty basic.

The stores around here are still mostly barren, but one of them had plenty of venison because I guess people have no idea what it is or are afraid of it. So I made a nice stew with some leeks, potatoes, mushrooms, and carrots.
There have been reports of weird grocery items turning up, like food bound for restaurant supply stores, rabbit, or regional items.
 
Some of a pork shoulder.
Earlier I had cut off the big easy chunks, froze them and the middle with the bones.
Cold front came through so probably one of the last days I could run the oven for hours, so I grabbed the middle chunk.
Intended to use an oven bag but couldn't find them, used a big earthware thing. Seasoned it, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, tumeric, cut an onion in half and stuck it in on the sides. Lid on and in the oven for about an hour and a half at 375, lid off, flipped it over, onions on top of the meat, no lid, another half-hour at 325, flip and replace the onions, after another half-hour I took a couple of forks to it, ripped up the meat and mashed it in with the drippings and the onion, also I had the lid in the oven getting hot, lid on, back in the oven and turn it off, let it coast for a while.
Turned out good.
 
Fried rice in honor of Corona chan :)
Just egg, veg, rice and Soy sauce.
I can never get it as good as takeout, but they probably add a bunch of mystery gutter oil. Thankfully I haven't had chinese takeout for over a year so the cravings have lost their power anyway.
 
Steak marinated in coffee and coconut rice with some nutmeg and cloves. I would have added black beans but the bean aisle was completely wiped out. Muh beans...

I haven't cooked at all recently, but there's a dish my family eats which fits the topic some of you are talking about of poverty/disaster food.

Scrambled eggs, potato chunks, and crumbled bacon fried in a skillet. Served with biscuits as dinner.

We had that last night and it is a family favorite. There are never any leftovers. We had green onion sausage, fried up with diced potatoes with the scrambled eggs added to it. Its mixed all together and so dang good. We usually add onion and then top with shredded cheese but didnt have either in the house so we just did the simple version.

Its great because it is all basic items that are readily available and cheap. Plus its easy to make, all in one skillet. Even if were rich, this would still be a family favorite. Yum!!

How do you make your coconut rice, replace water with coconut milk? Too bad my family hates coconut, I love it.

anybody got any good ideas of something to make with ground beef that is NOT spaghetti? All we could find was a huge chub of cheap shit that I have to repurpose into edible dinners

A little of both. If i recall correctly i used 2 cups of jasmine rice, 1 cup coconut milk and a cup and a half of water, then prepare normally. Its a subtle sweetness but anything is better than plain rice. Avoid goya brand coconut milk, its practically water anyway.
