I’ve been busy today. Make a big ass pot of beef vegetable soup from scratch, and decided to try one of those Duncan Hines perfect sized cakes for dessert. The cake is adorable, just big enough for about 4 not too big pieces so I hope it tastes good. The soup is my specialty.

Ground beef was showing signs of age.
Meatloaf time.
maybe 2/3s of a gallon bag of ground beef, pack of mushrooms that needed using, two eggs, some scallions, broken up corn chips for breadcrumbs, some wrostesotschisr sauce, some frozen peas, white pepper, salt, rosemary, minced garlic
in the oven in a big cassarole dish for ~60m at 375, cut it into pieces and put them on a baking sheet, baking sheet back in the oven, turn off the oven, let it coast for a while
not bad
Needs some more zazz for my tastes but for easy-on-the-system meatloaf it's nice. Needs more salt.

edit: also there's about a 1/4 cup of red lentils in there too
 
I'm tired and it's cold, so something very simple. Catfish fillet, marinate it for half an hour in spicy barbecue sauce with lime, bake it in the oven, chow down. One fillet feeds me, provided I can eat it before my cat jumps up and sticks his nose in the dish. Livin' that glamorous Kiwi lifestyle!
 
Caramel brownies with ice cream. Actually the brownies are still in the oven.

I fucked around and whipped up a decent spice blend for chicken the other day. Tossed a skinless, boneless chicken breast with the spices and maybe half a teaspoon of olive oil, and blasted that at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. It turned out ridiculously delicious. The meat was super juicy and tender, and the spices worked really well. Wrapped up half the breast in half of a small pita bread with a fuckton of baby spinach, scallions, leftover grilled zucchini, and Huy Fong garlic-chili sambal, and that was my simple little dinner. Tucked the other half of the chicken breast in the fridge for a similar lunch tomorrow.

4 parts salt
3 parts black pepper
3 parts hot smoked paprika (La Dalia, the best immediately available to me)
2 parts garlic powder
2 parts oregano
1 part thyme
1 part mustard powder
1 part white pepper
1 part cocoa powder
 
I made waffles for breakfast and I'm going to bake choco chips brownies, I hope they come out good
 
Chili dogs, with 100% beef hotdogs. The chili has barbecue sauce, so the sweet along with the spicy go really well together. Takes at least 3 hours to prepare though, but rushing it would ruin it.
 
Baked chicken with lemon butter and thyme.
Brine the chicken in a mixture of salt sugar and rosemary for a day.
Mix butter, lemon zest, and fresh thyme and put in under the skin of the chicken.
Stuff chicken with half a lemon, fresh thyme, and fresh garlic.
Bake for about 2 hours for a 3 pound chicken.
 
My buddy is moving out of state so I'm hosting a big dinner and cooking chili tonight, 10 hours in the slow cooker and pray that it doesn't turn out shit. Worried I went too hard on this chilis. Things in tonight's chili:

Dried guajillo and ancho peppers, rehydrated and whirled into a paste
Serrano peppers
2 pounds stew meat 1.5 pounds beef heart
Serrano peppers
Onions
Green and bell pepper
Garlic
Pinto and kidney beans
One can of diced tomatoes
New Mexico chili powder
California Molido chili powder
Cumin
Beef boullion
Worcestershire sauce
Semisweet baking chocolate
Coffee stout beer, about 2/3 pint

Edit: it's already coming out a little bitter so I added 1/4 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp sugar to cut the bitterness

Make it normally in a bowl, then dump the noodles and broth in to simmer in a pan. Once the broth has boiled down to a reduction, take the noodles out and drop them in a bowl.

I usually make the broth with just the flavoring packet, then add spices and stuff to the pan during the initial heating. If you can get the kind of stuff that you'd rub on a steak, that's what I use. I go for the McCormick Montreal steak seasoning.

Brekkers. Eggs in a basket, fluffy scrambled eggs with bacon crumbled in, and some eggy ｈａｓｈｂｒｏｗｎｓ made with a bit of the bacon grease in the skillet for extra flavor, and a cuppa blueberry coffee to sip on while catching up on news.

It's pretty obvious I really like eggs.

Edit: ｈａｓｈｂｒｏｗｎｓ = hashbrowns? weird filter.
