What Have You Cooked Recently?

Tbh I can't tell much difference between cooking with a metal sheet or pizza stone. But nothing feels worse than failing to transfer a raw pizza onto a stone and ruining the night. I just play it safe with metal these days.

That is exactly why I hate those fucking things.

Let us know how it goes when you find a duck on sale

I could try looking for whole duck and attempt to cut it in half. One for one week and the other for the second week. That way I can cut down on expenses. Also, that would give me the idea to use duck eggs. However, I hate whole foods so I might have to look elsewhere for them. Would separate the breast from the bird to give it the peking duck treatment and use the rest of the carcass for stock to eat with the noodles. Sounds very doable.

Made a Ahi steak crusted with cayenne, course black pepper, salt, paprika, and jew salt. Sauce made of lemon juice, garlic, and balsamic vinegar. First time I've made Ahi, it turned out ok, not great but ok.

Barbeque pulled pork in the instant pot. Turned out really well. I cut 5 lbs pork loin into large cubes and tossed them with teriyaki, mustard, and a premixed seasoning rub. Added a cup of water for the pot and cooked for an hour. After an hour I removed the pork and shredded it. There was about 3 cups of liquid in the pot so I boiled it to reduce for about 30 minutes after adding brown sugar, Apple cider vinegar, Liquid smoke, and wooster sauce. After it reduced I added a corn starch slurry to get it extra thick, then added it to the pork. For a final step I minced two onions and a few cloves of garlic, fried it in olive oil in the pot for about 10 minutes, then added to the pork and mixed well.

Blueberries were on sale, so I had too many blueberries. Put them into scones. Was very skeptical on the "grate frozen butter into dry ingredients" step, but it worked out wonderfully. Picked up some creme fraiche to spread on them

Made a nice lamb chop. Seasoned the lamb chop with salt, pepper, and pressed lemon thyme. Seared in butter on both sides. Pan sauce made of unsalted Irish butter, chopped lemon thyme, shallots, garlic, and vegetable broth.

That frozen butter thing is a game changer.

That frozen butter thing is a game changer.

Can you do that for anything where you ordinarily would cube refrigerated butter?

 

[instythot]

Can you do that for anything where you ordinarily would cube refrigerated butter?

I am guessing so. And it goes way quicker. A much easier grate than cheese

 

[Oh Long Johnson]

Can you do that for anything where you ordinarily would cube refrigerated butter?

I would imagine so. Butter/shortening/lard.

I first came across the freezing thing for cubed butter and shortening for pie crusts. The grater just adds ease of incorporation, especially if you aren't using a food processor and are cutting in your fat by hand.

I made a Jack Scalfani level crime against cooking tonight.


So I saw these at the store and decided to pick up a few boxes. I havnt had cheetos or mac n cheese in a very long time and I love crazy shit like this.



I assembled the ingredients. Vegan butter and oat milk since we dont normally keep dairy products in the house and I wasnt about to buy a whole thing of both for this experiment. It suggested we crumbled cheetos on top but I decided to spare my arteries that.



Went with the boil method, it also included microwave instructions if you are so inclined. The unnatural color of the cheese packets reminded me of The Andromeda Strain movie from the 60s.



Onto the taste test. What immediatly hit me was that terrible fake spiciness all these snack foods use. Its revolting and overpowering. I cant taste any cheese and am barely able to finish a quarter of this bowl.



So into the disposal it goes. This was one of the worst things I have ever eaten. My teeth are stained red and my stomach is in knots. There are a few other flavors but I dont think I will try this kind of thing again.

Chicken breast stuffed with spinach, sun dried tomatoes, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and red pepper flakes for a kick.

I liberally season the outside of the breast with salt, pepper, and paprika.

This is one of my favorite meals since I’m not a fan of chicken breast but I love them like this.

My infamous Bodybuilding Pumpkin Cake TM.

It’s basically a health food, but tastes like actual cake and is very filling and high in protein. It’s very moist in the good way, and passes better than Blair White.
I adapted it from Coach Greg’s cookbook that I stole and improved it by switching out the spices and glazing it with Walden Farms Walnut&Maple syrup.
I also added more of these weird Keto chocolate chips I found, and they actually taste like normal chocolate more or less.
Overall, it’s about 750 calories and around 65 grams of protein, so I’ll have like half of it for my post workout meal and the other half later for a snack.

It looks like nutraloaf (the prison punishment food) if that were actually edible. Probably nobody should eat this unless they actually do lift, though. The glaze actually makes it look good, which surprises me. Usually that Walden Farms shit is strictly for anorexics.

I’d rather eat real cake but it is what it is.
Flavor’s fine, but it does taste like high end health food, if you know what I mean.
Waldens Farms is a mixed bag in general, but can be just fine if you know how to cook.

Breakfast tortilla wrap. Smoked sausage, chillies, cheese and green onion in scrambled eggs all wrapped in a tortilla. God like breakfast.

 

[A Grey Cat]

polish sausage with three fried eggs and some olives and capers. No toast, pancakes or anything like that cause Im trying to go back on the keto diet.

 

[Titos]

Made one of my favorite wraps, not healthy at all but it's delicious. Cook some tendies, chop them up, crisp up some bacon and chop that up too, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, shredded oaxaca and colby cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch sauce, wrap in a spinach tortilla. I pop it in the oven on like 200F to get it nice and melty before digging in.
