[wong]

i hear chicken thighs are popular right now

It's all about the thighs

[brent]

red chile steak with beans from mexican everyday, over gulf rice

grilled & cubed the ribeye rather than pan frying it

[Lahey]

Lemon tarragon chicken leg w/mustard greens and braised carrots,

[-☭-]

i'm always stoked when i realize chicken tikka is pretty easy to make

[fresh salad]

You can not imagine the shits I had after this

[south pacific]

I think I can!

[viachicago]

Salmon in a cream sauce w/ spinach

[brittle]

i haven't taken any pictures of food since i got this computer. but i did snap this a few weeks ago when i got that non-stick french skillet.



kinda makes me want to start eating meat.

[lockheed]

unfortunately, i don't know how to make food pics look good, but the array was very nice looking IRL.

"Guacamole Jerezamo", from Diana Kennedy's My Mexico
Lemon-lime watermelon agua fresca
and beer-marinated colombian-style new york strips with an aji sauce that i did not personally make.

[Timothy]

i bake some baguettes, sourdough, a bit of amaranth, tiny bit of sesame+whole wheat from the starter


i forgot to slash them

[walt whitman]

you dudes really need to attach recipes to the shit you post...

in other news my gf told me yesterday that i use too much oil in things when i pan fry. what is a good alternative, food bros?

[jbiz]

how does she know you're using too much?

you need enough oil to properly sear/brown the meat. 2 tablespoons is usually sufficient but who has time to measure that. you should measure it once, then cook your food and take it out and measure what's left. then tell her to go worry about something more important.

[nefarious]

when i am making food and someone offers unsolicited "helpful tips" i usually become belligerent and make them leave the kitchen.

[jbiz]

i made a goat cheese/herb souffle from essential pepin for mothers day. it didn't rise as much as i'd hoped. i beat the egg whites by hand and maybe i didn't do it good enough.

still was delicious though

[fresh salad]

cooked pork loin in beer for 6 hours and made BBQ pulled pork

[fresh salad]

ew it kind of looks like 2 cocks and then a prolapsed asshole from those pics, but it tasted really good.

[jbiz]

that shredded really well. never seen that with an actual loin (as opposed to a butt)

[-☭-]

this looks like a mess but im so happy with how it tastes





str8 ribeye, broccoli rabe, and long-style home fries w/ carmalized onions and a little cheese cause im trash


plus moodymann in the background

[-☭-]

also klonopin, templeton rye, and fuckin JK SCRUMPY CIDER

[-☭-]

pulled pork is so easy to make, it changed my life

until i left it in the fridge for three months and now i can never eat it again

[lockheed]

Avocado and (raw) corn salad
Cast iron seared salmon w/ chimichurri sour cream




All three components turned out perfectly and worked well together.

[Jenda]

Gotta cook that salmon mostly on its skin yo, then gently finish off on the other side with a knob of butter. Otherwise looks like a nice combination, your parsley folding skills though...def need some work...

Czech style pork schnitzel and home made potato salad.

well, i wanted noticeable crust on the salmon, so i seared the fleshy side for 2.5 minutes, flipped to skin side down, and popped the pan in the oven for about 5 minutes, so it was still very tender and, imo, perfectly cooked. but i know what you mean with the technique described, i'll have to do it that way next time.

as for the *cilantro,

[lockheed]

and i used both oil and butter in the pan so butter is at the very least involved with the salmon.

I've been roasting whole chickens almost every week for a while now. Not the most recent effort, but the only pic I had handy.



Mostly cakes, tarts and bread (which I always forget to get pics of) at school or work. Cakes are fun at first, but it's all so fussy. Probably going to focus on breadmaking once I graduate. Few things are as satisfying.

Chocolate and Kirsch mousse cake


Frasier cake (i.e. vanilla and strawberry with marzipan)


Coffee and hazelnut mousse cake


Gluten-free chestnut and almond cake




A few things from last quarter

[Jenda]

sassafras socks, my mother-in-law has been getting into cake making/decorating. Do you feel that pastry school would be something a fifty-something year old would enjoy going through if she is fairly serious about her endeavors in that field?

[sassafras socks]

It's enjoyable for sure, but if she's looking to do mostly American style cakes or wedding cakes, a series of specific classes from a reputable local bakery (call around, a lot of places offer this stuff on the weekends or evenings) might be a better option. A full-on baking and pastry program whether through a community college or specialized school involves quite a bit more than just learning how to bake and decorate, and there's some pretty stressful sections. I've seen a few older students come and go already because they weren't prepared to commit to the entire thing. If she wants to do this as a new career and is pretty jazzed about it, then sure, there are plenty of worse things to do later in life, yknow?

For what it's worth, the big name places like CIA, Cordon Bleu or even the regional Art Institutes are huge money sinks and a certificate from these carries almost no real significance in the workplace. Have her take a tour of the programs offered at a community or state college; they're far better than people often expect.

my friend and i cooked a 5 course meal for 20 people last weekend and it was awesome. i wish i had decent pics.

homemade breakfast sausage with sous vide eggs, shrimp ceviche, corn+zucchini salad with bacon and a basil-lime-vinaigrette, grilled skirt steak tacos with chimichurri and roasted tomato salsa, peach granita.

[jbiz]

here's a pic of the steak tacos with the sauces. there was also a chipotle sour cream.

also, the menu we had printed for the event.
