What Have You Cooked Recently?

Today would have been Christopher Lee's 100th birthday so that's a damn good excuse to make a cake. This is a sponge cake with whipped cream topping. It's from a cookbook focused on Chinese baking and so it's not American fatass sweet, but I do find myself wanting a little more sweetness. It's so pretty though!

I found the easiest way to make a good breakfast burrito without having to worry about dirtying a bunch of stuff, it works incredibly well and it probably the only way I'll make omelettes in the future. All you need is a loaf pan. What you do is cook your sausage/bacon/ham about 3/4 of the way done. You then crack 3 eggs into the loaf pan and scramble them, toss your cut up meat or vegetables into the eggs and put in the oven until just about done, then put cheese and wait about a minute. Once done you just fold the egg on top of itself until it's basically a rectangle. Then all you have to do is wrap the egg rectangle in a burrito. It makes it so the meat and cheese are evenly dispersed and also makes it super easy to wrap, with no worry about anything falling out when eating it since it's all one mass.

Made one with breakfast sausage and bell peppers. Fucking delicious and only took like 5 minutes.

Pad Thai. I learned it from my Mom. (She's not Thai.)

It's a stir fry of noodles (flat ones that resemble fettuccini), a sauce, sliced flank steak, peanuts, cabbage (I use coleslaw mix), water chestnuts, sesame sead oil and oyster sauce and lime juice and soy sauce. Served with pork potstickers and vegetable eggrolls (we just buy premade ones to boil/bake). It's a very simple meal but is very rich.

I made a carrot and red lentil soup today, the recipe called for some cumin seeds but I just used some coriander seeds instead since I had those on hand.

I had it with some sour cream and rye bread on the side, turned out very well, I was contemplating whether or not I should have put the soup in parts with a regular blender or using the stick blender, I opted for the stick bender as that was just a bit quicker to do and it gives things like soups a much more smoother consistency.

My breakfast this morning.

Hot Roast Beef Sammich with grilled onions, sauteed yellow/orange/red peppers and mushrooms. Lightly with freshly coarse ground pepper plus with it's own Au jus sauce on a toasted deli roll. The roll is lightly buttered.

To drink, I professionally made my coffee using Roasted Kenyan Coffee beans. Using my 1937, all glass, White Cross Vacuum/Siphon coffee maker.

There are many ways to make coffee. I prefer the Vacuum/Siphon method of the 30's and 40's.... NOT the fucking hipster pussy heretics that has ruined the art of coffee making.

The reason why is that I know how to take some of the cheapest premade batches you get at the supermarket and make it taste pretty damned good.

As stated before I was a hardcore coffee drinker that was taught by the old timers on how to roast your own beans.

Today I cooked a Roasted Guinea fowl along with some carrots, potatoes, a parsnip and a turnip, along with a little vinaigrette. I actually had no idea this type of bird existed until a few months ago, they are essentially kinda like a chicken? But just found in west africa and more dumb and flightier, good for killing ticks though.

Overall it was not bad, it's slightly smaller then a standard chicken, the texture is also a little tougher and it has that gammy taste for sure, but it had a pleasant enough flavour. I added some duck fat to the vegetables as well and marinated them in some paprika, cumin and onion powder.

I've wanted to find more healthy snack ideas and my family has been lamenting about how much money we fork over to Big Granola, so I tried making granola bars today. They made the house smell so good, and the one I ate while still warm had such a good texture. They're a mix of oats, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, chopped dates, and mini chocolate chips mixed with maple syrup, brown sugar, oilive oil, and a little salt.
