What Have You Cooked Recently?

Currently smoking some spare ribs @250. They're probably my favorite thing to make. I use a basic home made rub of paprika, salt, black pepper, dark brown sugar, onion & garlic powder. I prefer them without sauce for maximum bark/meat contrast enjoyment, but will probably sauce a rack at the end of cooking for the rest of the

Leek spinach risotto. Recipe called for juice of a whole lemon which was really too much. When I was testing the rice to see if it was soft enough, it was so good I almost started eating it out of the pan. That’s carbs, butter, wine, and salt for ya.

So, as a new cook (I have lived off of fast food for the past four years), I'm thinking of challenging myself by trying to recreate my own versions of the thirteen saloon meals from Red Dead Redemption 2. Yes, I know, autistic.

My goal is to do one of these a week (minus the breakfasts, which fall on the third and sixth weeks), in this order:

I. Big Valley Bronco Beef Stew and Cornbread
II. Catfish Jackson's Fish and Shrimp Fry (with Macaroni'n'Cheese, French Fries, Hush Puppies)
III. Cholla Springs Chili
Breakfast 1. Old Time Heartlands Oatmeal
IV. Celestial Central Union Fish Stew
V. Blackwater Stuffed Oven-Roasted Chicken with Country Vegetables
VI. Tumbleweed Open-Faced Roast Beef Sandwich with Country Vegetables
Breakfast 2. Konfederate Kracker's Kracked Wheat and tard cum
VII. Lannahechee Lobster Bisque with Italian Bread
VIII. Valentine Lamb's Fry on Toast with Country Vegetables
IX. Butcher Creek Bloody Lamb's Heart with Country Vegetables
X. Prime Rib (I don't have a name for it) with Country Vegetables

I expect I'll probably give up on this around Meal 2, because I'm way too lazy to actually execute this.
I cooked all sorts of stuff while playing Final Fantasy XV.

Nice! Whenever I'm making something with spinach I also like to add some garlic, turmeric and powdered paprika. Over here people also tend to add m.i.l.k. or sour cream to it, though personally I prefer my Popeye fuel without it.
 
Feeling cute, might kill some squirrels and rabbits in the backyard with a pellet gun and make a brunswick stew later, idk.

Since I'm a cannibal, I mostly eat human. I did, however, ate my sister last night. Wonderful with salad.
 
Gammon steaks topped with pineapple rings and fried egg. Served with chunky chips and mushy peas. Lashings of brown sauce.
 
Beautiful buttermilk muffins with blueberries and coarse sugar on top. Red, white, and blue because America. (I actually made them on the 5th but who cares, I wanted some patriotic muffins, dammit)

Have a big mess of green beans from the back yard, along with potatoes and onions and beef broth and bacon. Just going to cook them slow.

I tested a new bean chopping song. Haricots verts, motherfucker. Haricots verts, bitch! We'll see how that helps.
 
I cooked a vegetarian chilli last night.

I'd list everything I stuck in it, but my cooking may as well be described as "i threw in everything but the kitchen sink. Took 5 minutes to think about the abomination I've created, and then threw the kitchen sink in too".
Though a decent amount of quorn mince, tinned tomatoes, veggies/kidney beans, onion gravy and diet coke went into it. None of my family complained so that counts for something I guess. Made enough to have leftovers too
