What Have You Cooked Recently?

Well, if this is the last thing I am gonna post here, no regrets. I've made chocolate twists.

I used this recipe, you should give it a try, they smell amazing and taste even better.
 
Cooked up some pork ribs. I don't have access to a grill so I did the woman/college student thing and cooked them in the crockpot (phone autocorrected to crackpot, very cool), then broiled them a bit after.

I prefer grilled because that primal sense of tearing meat off the bone is lost through crockpot cooking, but it came out great. Tried going more Kentucky style with the sauce, honestly I want to take a trip there and hit up BBQ joints for like a week straight. Sounds like my favorite style.
 
I barbecued some beef brisket for Labor Day weekend with okayish results. The meat was fine and and it was super-tasty, the only downside was that it had a massive fatcap that was hidden by layer of muscle. Note to self for future barbecue: Always buy a piece of brisket that has a nice layer of fat but make sure it's flat, if it's rounded then that means the butcher fucked up and left a layer of fat untrimmed.
 
Making some eggs benedict with asparagus and hashbrowns. Plan on grilling the asparagus, making some eggs over easy, and putting them on english muffins with some ham, and then smothering the everloving fuck out of everything with hollandaise sauce. It's been a week already, and it's not even half over yet.
 
I made some chicken and wild rice for dinner. I made some changes to my diet over the last year and one of them is more grains like rice and quinoa and decided to revisit wild rice. I used to kind of hate but I think it was just because I was lazy and would just make the instant microwave wild rice but this time I made it in my Instant Pot and it was great.

It's starting to finally get autumnal outside so some nice butternut squash and nutmeg soup. It's just as many shallots as you want, vegetable stock and butternut squash. Fry your diced squash and shallots or roast them first, whichever is your preference and then just put in the water and vegetable stock to simmer till its soft. Liquidize it, add double cream for texture, sprinkle on nutmeg or cinammon and have it with some good bread.
 
Made a ton of chicken and sausage gumbo last night to get me through the week. The roux I made for it probably would have tasted much drier if I didn't add a habanero I received from my SO's parents' garden, which accounts for 90% of the taste (the other half being turkey stock and worcestershire sauce). Regardless, it came out delicious.
 
Tuna Helper. The Tetrazzini blend.

Poverty meal I know, but I was feeling lazy after work. I did use the fancy $2.50 cans of tuna though. Also added some peas. It was pretty good. Granted, I ate it after getting stoned while cooking it though.
I've been eating at least a can of tuna every day lately, sometimes in tuna salad and sometimes just by itself. I think I'm going to make tuna cakes, another super poverty food, sort of like crab cakes but with tuna instead, maybe with some ghetto imitation of Old Bay seasoning.
