I'm making baked beans, tomorrow. Went through Hell trying to find salt pork, but weirdly I eventually found it in Walmart near the "odd meats"(black people meats).
 
Given that tomorrow is july 4th I thought I would make a traditional washingtonian feast for the occasion:

Now I just need to find the right freerange hobo
 
I made the custard two different ways - a ginger raspberry one (with a chocolate hazelnut flavored sauce in the middle - I intended to write a G with it but the sauce dispensed too fast so I gave up after 5 drips) made the creme brulee way with a bain marie, and a vanilla one by baking at 200F for at least an hour but less than two hours. The vanilla one has a bit of a jelly-like texture.

Also shortbread two different ways - one with powdered sugar and another with regular sugar and chocolate chips. I melted the butter too much on the chocolate chip ones, so the dough was hard to work with. Adding too much flour and then baking it a bit longer made it very different from the plain ones, which I used a different recipe for. Since the author's website (HolidayBakerman) for this recipe was gone, I needed to use AI to get the measurements. It didn't originally say I needed to chill the dough, but it definitely makes sense given the aforementioned issues.

Anyway there's less of that version because I didn't have enough butter, so I had to half the recipe.

You can see the only other "desserts" are pre-packaged cookies you can get from a vending machine. I'm a huge snob, so I wanted them to have real dessert and not preservative-filled trash. The Grandma brand cookies are absolute dogshit.

Today I had a grilled chicken sausage, fries and deviled eggs, and made some meal prep pinto beans & greens with turkey smoked sausage in the instant pot to have with cornbread. I had red white and blue overnight chia oatmeal parfaits (with strawbs and bluebs) for my breakfast meal prep.
