What Have You Cooked Recently?

This today:
I used to make this years ago, it is as easy as he shows. Maybe 10 minutes max with the prep, measuring and chopping of chocolate. Mixed in a bit of brandy before adding the chocolate. After 3-4 hours it was set, in time for dessert. Delicious. Will warn, the measurements Raymond gives is enough for 2 smallish jars, so it will require a fair bit of chocolate for the yield if you are doing a large batch (I did for 4 people, required 300 grammes of good quality chocolate).

def makes me want to get some basic costco frozen pizza or something that allows me to make pizza without the mess of fucking around much with dough

The other day I realized I had never cooked a baked potato before. So today I tried Alton Brown's method, and it came out perfect. Just topped it with some butter and a little shredded cheddar. Highly recommended.

I usually bake at 425 or even higher, sometimes as high as 500 for smaller potatoes. I want the skin papery and crisp with the inside fluffy. Also instead of just poking holes in them with a fork I use a large knife and stab all the way through two or three times on all sides. Then I bake them more like 90 minutes to two hours.

Are you baking huge ass monster spuds?

If Amazon deliver the last bag of masa harina in Europe, I'll be cooking guac, refried beans (thanks @sperginity) and spicy beef tacos for a faux Mexican feast. Will probably blast Santana while cooking.

Family cooked a turkey for Easter and I always save the carcass for broth and then bone stock and mix the two. Im thinking of using it for chicken tortilla soup, but I also got given a thing of those cheap ramen packets and was thinking of using it as broth for top ramen and throwing in some turkey, maybe some chives or green onions if I have any, and some greens or something. I have some thai peppers I grew and dehydrated too that I make into some badass chili flakes, shit makes your nose run but damn is it tasty on shit. I dont have any like woodear mushrooms and I dont know about putting an egg in there but what else goes into fucking bootleg makeshift struggle-ramen?

I cooked up that egg/potato/bacon dish, which my folks call mulligan (but doesn't seem to match any dish popularly known as mulligan). I've been figuring that to meet my budget goals (for when I start work), I need to be able to make dinners of no more than $7. This was a drastic success, as my dinner clocked in at basically $2.60 (not counting drinks, which I budget separately).

Three eggs
Two potatoes
Three strips of bacon
Two biscuits (I don't count condiments in expenses)

But, I'm not sure that was quite enough food, and it's a crude, somewhat sorry dish.

I tend to call them breakfast platters, since it's very similar to a standard breakfast dish where you just plate them all on one thing, not mixed, but stacked with each other.

That's probably the best description of it, though in our dish it's all mixed together, like a sort of hash, or a "salad."

Egg is pretty good in ramen, also while sliced cheese sounds weird it tastes great.
