Burrata Mac and cheese

I reversed seared a sirloin steak. I had a spaghetti squash so I made one half with parm and black peppers and the other with brown sugar and cinnamon. Served with some old rice and had a sad fruit cake for dessert.

I just made a fuckload of caramels as a birthday gift for my mom.

Also stacked a brick-shaped marshmallow on a big sheet of caramel and covered it with chocolate. I'm going to dub it the Diabetes S'more.

I don't work with candies that much so the chocolate work isn't the peak of elegance, but whatever.

 

[The Potatomatic 2000]

I was super tired after a week of entirely too much work, so I was like "hmmm, I make something easy and tasty".
Sotteok sotteok in the air fryer. The sauce I bought is waaaay spicy, but it turned out great. I like the texture of the rice cakes.

In the process of cooking, modified chicken and waffles. Buttermilk waffles with fried chicken breast (think like pork schitzel), creamed spinach on the side, served with warm spicy honey.
edit: I've never actually had chicken and waffles before, so don't judge me to hard.
Edit2: delicious.

Making quick-pickled slivers of red onion for egg salad is ridiculously easy and elevates an egg salad sandwich incredibly.

Chicken cheese melt on my own soda bread.

 

[GeorgiaGuidestones]

Just a simple stir fry with rice.

Pickled onions are amazing and work with pretty much any dish. I use them on chili dogs (it's good, I swear!)

Just a simple stir fry with rice.

That looks delicious. I just bought a wok fairly recently, so I'm hoping to get in on that action soon.


Had the niece and nephew over on Friday, so I made pizza. I started a cold rise dough two days prior, and it turned out really tasty:

(Yes, that's salami. I found out too late that my pepperoni had spoiled, and decided to try it out. Other than not shrinking properly, it was actually not bad as a topping.)

 

[Archeops]

I made a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, cinnamon toast, and coffee (I skipped out on the bacon due to laziness).

Whenever I make my scrambled eggs I usually end up with something that's more like mini omelettes rather than a scramble, but after adding in a small amount of milk to the raw eggs it really fixed it up. I also have been considering using Gordon Ramsay's technique to making scrambled eggs.

 

[Jaded Optimist]

Braised beef short ribs, and mashed potatoes with spinach. I'm on a short rib kick after my Asian ribs earlier this week. This time was more European, braising liquid was stock, sage, rosemary, garlic, balsamic, and regular spices.
Edit: the braising liquid turned gravy needed more sour to combat the fatty-ness...I think adding buttermilk would be nice and create a tie to the potatoes. I usually like to use a single ingredient in every part of a dish in order to tie it together.

I don't like Ramsay's method as he makes the cream and butter hot at the same time. This really messes with the flavor imo. It makes it "fluffier" and taste like absolutely nothing too. I whisk the Cream, Eggs, Salt and Pepper together separately, and them drop it all into hot butter and start stirring. As soon as it starts to solidify turn off the heat and let the residual temperature in the pan finish the job.

protip, never use a nonstick pan for scrambled eggs. Metal pan, metal spatula only. True patricians do it in Cast Iron. God's do it in the same Cast Iron pan they've just cooked the bacon in.

Ramsay is a restaurant chef through and through and it shows. His cooking methods lean towards fast and crowd pleasing, and while that isn't really an issue necessarily individual people may prefer something different.

Anyway, made a pepperoni pizza. It was tasty.

I made a burger topped with bbq sauce and chopped pepperoncini.

Also, dry sparkling rosé tastes really good if you mix it 2 or 3 parts to 1 part cider, the cloudy non alcoholic kind. I thought it sounded weird before trying it, but it's amazing.

This is the one thing that really makes it good. It gets a sourdough flavor after about a week and then I finish off the dough by making breadsticks with it.

 

[Helvítis Túristi]

Made a Hungarian style stewed vegetables and turkey over some potatoes. Every time I make this type of food, I'm reminded how good roasting your vegetables first brings out so much flavor. Roasted some red bell peppers, carrots, onions, tomatoes, and garlic under the broiler. Peeled the burnt layer off, sliced them up, and dumped them into a pot with turkey chunks. Seasoned with thyme, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and quite a bit of paprika.

Made an egg casserole last night. It's a good meal for if you're running low on stuff and is really filling. Basically whatever eggs I had left (6), whisk them with smoked paprika, pepper, and salt. Milk is good with the eggs but I used unsweetened almond milk. Added in sweet potato, bell pepper, red cabbage, onion, and acorn squash all chopped up. Fried up some sausage in a cast iron pan with some garlic cloves and transferred everything to a casserole dish and baked. It goes well with greens

 

[Demon King]

Vietnamese chicken soup?

 

[Kahr CW9]

I had a jar of yeast languishing in the door of my fridge, 18 months out of date- so I've been using it up to make bread

that's a really good looking boule, it makes me want to rehydrate my sourdough starter.
