[CIS White Droid]

Steak au Poivre, it contains two of my favorite things: beef and copious amounts of black pepper.

I made BLTs tonight. I like mine with pepper jack, wickles, and shaved onion and a lot of black pepper.

I'm a purist on BLTs, but my emphasis is on the tomato. I grill the toast on one side with olive oil or butter, before filling it. One leaf of lettuce on each side, just to shield it from the gigantic thick slices of tomato I add to keep it from getting soggy, then mayo on each side, and bacon in the middle. Then grill the whole sandwich again on both sides.

Not that I object, it sounds delicious. I had an endless supply of tomatoes last summer and ate BLTs constantly. I'd generally just eat the rest of the tomato while making the sandwich. (Tbh I'll just eat a tomato like an apple sometimes.)

Got started later than I liked on corning some beef for St Paddy's, but it's brining in my fridge now and that's what's important. Don't have any nitrates on hand, but it should taste fine. Just won't be pink. (Not worried about premature spoilage either because I love corned beef and will gladly eat just that for days when we have a slab in the fridge.)

As for tonight, I made fettucine alfredo. It's a favorite of my wife's and she's always excited when I make it

I decided to try mixing whole wheat flour into my bread recipe. After learning from my last attempt, it went a lot better managing the hydration. Both loaves came out great, more flavorful than usual and more satisfying. I also made vanilla pudding last night, this is yet another detour I wasn't expecting when I decided to start cooking.

Spoiler: behold

i am pleased

A strawberry cheesecake. Used agar-agar on the toppings, it got a little ticker than i'd like, but delicious nonetheless. My favorite dessert. This one omitted sugar for which doesn't taste as good as sugar.



Also falafels and a glutenless pizza made from a sweet potato dough that doesn't taste like sweet potato at all

 

[jameskopp]

Some good ol’ spaghetti

 

[Pickman's Modeling Agency]

Homemade udon noodles and homemade Japanese curry broth/soup. Potatoes, carrots, and apples finely diced for some texture. Topped with bean sprouts and a bit of cilantro. I had to make the curry seasoning mix myself since the grocery store within walking distance didn't have those curry cubes available. Fortunately, I cook often enough that I had all but 2 of the components in my spice cabinet, and could fudge the missing ones with similar ingredients. The noodles were some work, but, (unlike regular pasta) udon noodles are fucking pricey and worth the elbow grease.

Turned out fantastic. Nigel had 2 bowls.



Edit: since I doubled the noodle recipe, I have 3 individual serving bags of udon in the freezer for future use! Which is great because I love to make hot and sour soup and pour it over noodles.

 

[エボラちゃん]

Salmon-spinach lasagna with goat cheese.

 

[Jimjam the zimzam]

just some simple over-easy eggs and toast for breakfast. I will be making a pot roast for dinner, will take pictures if I remember to

 

[Calzaghe2]

I want to try to make pho, but I’m worried I’ll fuck it up cause american

 

[Cheesy Beavy]

I made some medium rare steak in the cast iron, medium duck eggs, and heated up some mixed greens. Golly it was so fucking good. It's probably what I'll have for breakfast tomorrow too.

 

[OrionBalls]

Boiling a salted brisket, as we speak. Fuck St. Patrick's Day. You want to celebrate a Saint's Day? Go to mass, you degenerates. Screw your green beer. I make the very American boiled brisket that has become synonymous with the holiday, around here. I'm gonna broil it at the end, with some spicy brown mustard and brown sugar, while the potatoes and cabbage finish in the pot.

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

Potato Cabbage Casserole

 

[PositiveMonk]

I wanted something sweet today, almost went for vanilla pudding again but landed on chewy sugar cookies. When I pull them apart, the light reflects off the sugar crystals and they sparkle. Baked another bread using whole wheat flour. Decided to add some more flour after the bulk rise, so I worked it in when shaping the dough balls. This resulted in a really gorgeous marbling with the brown and white flours. I think going forward I'm going to reserve 1/4 cup of the bread flour and repeat this.

I woke up from a nap after coming home from surgery and I was really hungry and ate room temperature spaghettios straight out of the can.

Unironically better than when they're hot

 

[lego racers]

baking cookies is a spiritually healing exercise.

 

[Squanto Airi]

Some peanut curry sauce that my mom sent the recipe for. It's delicious over rice as a nice Lenten meal

 

[There She Glows]

Potato and cabbage soup with bacon and a side of soda bread for a dinner I hosted. For the bread I successfully substituted buttermilk with Greek yogurt and a little milk to thin out at a 1:1 ratio.

Dessert was a batch of cinnamon rolls using milk bread dough as the base. Tried out a new technique I read somewhere of pouring half a cup of heavy cream over the rolls before putting them in the oven which keeps them moist and fluffy and caramelization on the bottom. Delicious but big time calorie bombs so I made sure everyone took the leftovers home. specifically away from my home.
