What Have You Cooked Recently?

[Nonconsentual Pronouns]

Asparagus, its this season of the year and my bathroom smells very funny.

If it weren't for that and how high the price often is, I'd be cooking asparagus at least three times a week minimum. Simple pan-cooked black pepper asparagus with just enough bacon fat to keep it from sticking, but not enough to overpower the flavor is my favorite green side for anything beef.

well it pretty cheap in season...

nonono, not that peasant shit. white asparagus, the queen of vegetables.

 

[Exceptionally Exceptional]

Crepes again, this time savory crepes stuffed with bacon, sour cream scrambled eggs, grilled onions, and cheese.

Sea bass pan fried with shallots, spring onion and chilli. Roasted new potatoes, aspargus, carrots and cherry tomatoes

I've been eating a lot of asparagus lately. It's aspargus season in Britain apparently and the shops are full of huge bundles on offer

The bag is actually a slow cooker liner. It's mostly because I'm lazy/don't want to do dishes.

And it works?

In my experience the bag always leaks and the leakage burns and in the end it's harder to clean than just skipping the bag.

That was why my parents tried it exactly once.

I haven't had a problem. Anything that escapes the bag I've generally been able to clean up pretty easy. Idk, maybe I just have good luck.

Luckily for me I'm not one of those "blessed" with that, the world's most useless superpower. Asparagus Man! With a single sniff he can tell if you've been eating asparagus!

are you sure about not having the super power? im still not 100% convinved if that is possible since all studies come from the US where they eat Asparagus that went bad.

Mini pizzas for lunch today! I has some leftover pasta sauce so I poured that onto english muffins, added shredded cheese, and sauted peppers and sausage. Popped it under the broiler and didn't watch it quite carefully enough which is why the edges of one got burnt, lol. Still tasted great!

Didn't get a picture but tonight's dinner was fried rice with bacon. For some reason I've never tried to make fried rice but it's really easy.

 

[The I Scream Man]

Nuclear shrimp fried rice, I didn't take a picture because I am a hopeless degenerate but I ended up making it wicked spicy, multiple chilies and lots of fun spices, along with big boy jumbo shrimps and you know, vegetables and eggs and shit.

Highly recommended, you don't have to make it atomic if you don't want to but just between us, a nuclear wasteland of a butthole is a small price to pay for supreme flavor

 

[afternoon_tea]

Tonight I made cold borscht and a savory phyllo dough pie with nettles and morels and oyster mushrooms I found.

Also not cooking per se but I pickled some garlic scapes

 

[Usb2200a]

Spanish meatballs in a tomato sauce, buttered noodles, Swiss chard with lemon and evo.

 

[teriyakiburns]

Decided to be a bit experimental. Chicken breasts seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic, and brown sugar, wrapped in bacon. Oven for 25 minutes or so. Unfortunately it seems all the sugar escaped and potentially ruined the tray I was using, instead of caramelising on the chicken. Still tastes nice.

 

[An Ghost]

Got a stand mixer so to break it in I made Japanese cheese cake. Much lighter than regular. Almost like a souffle. An astounding amount of effort for something I would call "pretty good."

 

[Helvítis Túristi]

I'm starting to make protein bars to work as a fourth meal. Used ground pumpkin seeds, almond flour, pumpkin spice, and eggs to make a kinda souffle. Only used two tablespoons of maple syrup for a slight flavoring and sweetening. Came out nice and fluffy. Next time I'll add more almond flour or some sort of nut flour with higher protein. Also should've added pumpkin puree or sweet potato to it.

 

[𝕺𝖑' 𝕯𝖎𝖗𝖙𝖞 𝕱𝖆𝖙𝖘𝖔]

Hummus. It's really good but ends up costing more than a store bought tub, especially because tahini prices are ridiculous.

 

[Sylvie Paula Paula]

"Tacos", aka browned beef with taco seasoning, oregano, a small amount of melted shredded cheese and crumbled up corn chips in a bowl. Topped off with more shredded cheese.

It isn't really cooked, but I made dandelion wine for the first time, and it seems to be topping out up at around ~18% abv. It's strong and it's pretty good.
With about 2 quarts of dandelion petals, a couple sliced up oranges, 5 cups of sugar, a few old dried cherries, one packet of wine yeast, and two and a half weeks it made about 5 litres. The most difficult part is separating the petals, it takes some hand strength.

If anyone's interested I'd recommend giving it a shot; people sometimes give you weird looks or ask what you're doing when they see you walking around collecting flowers, but eh, they're the suckers for letting all those dandelions go to waste. You can make dressing out of them too, or just straight up eat them.

We used Boris's chebureki dough recipe and a new mini-folder pressy-mabob to make little fried cream cheese-filled pastries today. Vanilla, powdered sugar and a shitload of coco powder; strawberry jam; lingonberry jam; and a few with a mix of the chocolate and strawberry filling. The chocolate ones are my favorite by far and they're great with some fresh raspberries, but having them with banana is just out of this world delicious. There was a little bit more dough left after using up the cream cheese fillings, so I got the mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla lemon juice mixture out of the fridge to experiment with. The mascarpone one I tried was so bazar. The filling was totally liquid and eating it together tasted like a warm vanilla ice cream cone, but in a good way.
