What Have You Cooked Recently?

[Midlife Sperglord]

Bacon pancakes. I took the bacon and I put it in the pancake.

I know, that meme is far beyond dead, but bacon pancakes as a food still kicks ass.

 

[Syikeblade]

Made enough taco meat to last about three weeks.

 

[Mr. Skeltal]

I got my hands on some Pillsbury crescent rolls and made real basic ham and provolone pastry things. The wife and I are in the process of moving apartments so I can't cook with my usual level of fussiness.

Pretty good though, may add more ham, may replace the provolone for swiss, cheddar, or muenster.

Also it's fucking snowing where I live. I know April's weather in New England isn't known for its consistency, but goddamnit it's April 22nd and I had to freeze my ass off this morning in 27°F weather. May is in eight days, can Old Man Winter fuck off?

publix generic beef patties
nice. not as a-list as you'd expect from publix, but at least none of that "only some beef heart" crap

 

[AnOminous]

I've no problem if they're on nachos, for instance, but putting them in something like mashed potatoes? No thanks.

I pretty much never put onions in mashed potatoes, but I only make mashed potatoes to accompany main dishes that have onions already, it seems. I usually make mashed potatoes to go with gravy and the gravy made with beef drippings will have onions.

Hubs and I usually go beach camping this time of the year with friends and we have a huge shrimp boil with lots of beer. Since it was canceled due to WuFlu, we still did a shrimp boil. It tasted fantastic but it’s not the same since it was inside the house and just us.

I made ramen burgers! Haven't done that in awhile. The buns are cooked ramen with egg mixed in. I baked them instead of frying. The burger patties had soy sauce and mushrooms mixed in, and were topped with carmelized onions, cheese, Sriracha mayo, and some kimchi.

 

[John Titor]

I made ice cream. Or at least tried to. It always ends up being a block of ice.

Could try it with milk in a food processor for a milkshake?

What are you using to do it?

 

[John Titor]

What are you using to do it?

Really basic stuff I remembered from grade school: milk, sugar, vanilla. Added egg yolks because I read a recipe that suggests it. Saw another recipe recommend adding heavy cream so I'm going to try that next. Put the mix in a small container and put that in a bigger container with a tub of ice and salt and shook it a bunch of times; I was hoping it would have the same effect as the ziplock bags.

Could try it with tard cum in a food processor for a milkshake?

I thawed it out and turned it into that; can't complain about the actual flavor.

That doesn't really work, though. You actually need a specialized container. Just milk is almost never going to work, though, you want high fat content. Whole milk, heavy cream, even sweetened condensed milk. Egg yolks can give you salmonella, if you want to use them, though, you should pasteurize the eggs first. Heat to 140 degrees, keep them at that temperature for several minutes. You don't want to cook them.

The Ben & Jerry's ice cream cookbook is really good. The easiest one in it is the one involving sweetened condensed milk.

It's seriously just this:

2 cups light cream
1 cup sweetened condensed milk - cold

You still need something specifically designed for ice cream though, and stirring it while it's semi-freezing is necessary. Otherwise you just end up with solid ice. Ice cream is basically a colloid, not just a solid block of ice.

Oh definitely, I'm not taking chances with raw eggs.

grilled sammich
sharp cheddar and some premade guacamole inside sourdough bread, lots of butter for the grease, salt and pepper on the outside
turned out very good

 

[Lamaze-P Stan]

A sandwich which can be made by a slice of bread with mayonaise mustard cheese and meat. Top it with bread and a basic sandwich. Multi grain bread is a must have if wanting to have great bread

I made a budget version okinomiyaki, so no bonito flakes or some other stuff it's supposed to have, just eggs, cabbage, flour, soy sauce, a little sesame oil, scallions and some pork scraps (getting rid of them was the purpose here). It actually turned out pretty good - okinomiyaki is surprisingly low on my list of favorite Japanese foods so I was pleasantly surprised. I did have the Okonomi sauce and Kewpie Mayo which really made it. I might make this more as a way of getting rid of leftovers.

Salmonella only kills the old and the weak you little bitches.

 

[Army Burger]

made some pumpkin waffles again

 

[Meat Poultry Veg]

From-scratch flour tortilla with beans and cheese. I hesitate to call it a "taco."

 

[Sundae]

Oven baked crab legs. I had been craving seafood lately, and they really hit the spot. Still have enough to last a few days.

 

[White Baby]

Canned artichokes pan fried with bacon. Would've been better with cheese tbh
