What have you recently eaten?

This Japanese candy called Ninja Meshi.

I got the salted plum flavor because I heard it was pretty bad and surprise- it tastes like sweaty armpits.

Yes, it is cannibalism used as advertising.
 
So I just took my first run at replicating this one cocktail. Gin, agave, bitter lemon and cilantro. It's, uh, bad and is definitely not the same drink I had at that bar. The bitter lemon is wrong. It can't have been the ingredient they used. The bitter backbite was IMPERCEPTIBLE in their version, and in mine it fucking punches you in the face harder than the gin. Also need to dial down the agave slightly, it's sweeter than I initially thought.

Wonder if straight-up lemon juice would work. Not the from-concentrate shit.
EDIT: nah, in the quantity I'd need it would be overpowering I think. Maybe an unsweetened lemon tonic of some sort?

I baked a cherry pie yesterday. Easy to do.

Recipe: 2 cans tart cherries, 2 regular size packages Jello vanilla pudding, 2 tablespoons butter. 1/4 cup sugar is optional - I don't. Buy a pack of two Pillsbury pie crusts. Use a 9-inch Pyrex pie pan. You'll put the pie pan on a cookie sheet. Pro tip: line cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Much easier to clean - just remove foil.

How to do it: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Take one crust and line bottom of dish. Put dish on cookie sheet.

In saucepan, combine cherries, butter, and pudding. Put pan on stove, turn heat to high. Stir constantly. When the mixture begins to boil, turn down the heat to half. Keep stirring until the liquid part of the mixture turns reddish-clear. When that happens empty the mixture into the pie pan, then put the other crust on top. Crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together, then cut five or six slits in the top crust.

When oven reaches 450 degrees F, put cookie sheet with pie pan into oven, bottom shelf. Let it bake for about 25 minutes, then move the cookie sheet to the top shelf, bake for five more minutes, then turn off oven, and let residual heat finish the baking, five minutes max. If the top crust is golden brown, and the filling is starting to bubble out the slits in the crust, pie is done. Take it out, let cool. Once fully cooled, cover with aluminum foil. Will keep for several days, even longer in the refrigerator.

This is easier than it sounds. Once you have baked a few cherry pies you'll be able to bake one in your sleep. And your pie will taste better than just about any bought from a store or a bakery. A standing invitation to gluttony.

Leftover burgers from Checkers. Preheated oven to 350 with a heavyish baking sheet in there, tossed the burgers on it and let it go for about ten minutes, then took the sheet out, flipped the burgers over, and let it sit on the sheet for a few mins.
Not quite solid on the technique yet, a little cold in the middle, but way less awful than microwave leftover burger.
 
Tried a different buffet tonight, Chinese and Puerto Rican, pretty good stuff, they had goat and ox tail. A little over-seasoned but handicapping for near the end of the night well worth the price.

One guy in the group behind me had an AJ Styles shirt, the group behind them had a guy with one of those hentai face hoodies like

Too lazy to cook and busy filling out a shitton of paperwork anyway, so I had a can of sriracha lime chili. Pretty good for something out of a can. Put some cheese and chopped onion on top.
 
Went back to that buffet during the day because seriously all you can eat goat. Way better today, the toughness and overseasoning was from end of the evening buffet.
They also do take out, and they have beer for extra. Saw the staff eating the food, too. Always encouraging.

What kind of buffet? Only buffet I ever heard of with goat was an Indian restaurant, and it kicked ass. Also overseasoning checks out.

Spanish leaning towards Puerto Rican and Chinese.
