  • Sometimes it's better to just have the thing.

    What you could try is having soup and a slice of pizza instead of 2 slices of pizza.

  • Well, now I want my body to go down a water slide after I die.

  • This happened to me recently ordering stuff directly from a company. The package arrived in an Amazon box.

  • Assuming that I'll forget something and setting a reminder of some type to make sure that I don't forget.

  • Several nurses have commented on my veins. Like to the point where I felt like I was getting hit on.

  • My dog's feet. They smell like corn chips.

  • It took me a while to realize that my mom (Korean, from Busan area) was on the phone having a conversation and not a heated argument. Literally sounded like screaming at times.

  • Stealing your significant other.

  • Oh yeah. Chicken thighs with crispy skin is amazing.

  • I can feel my perineum clench when I look at this

  • A Luther burger! Those are amazing. Yes agreed, very similar.

  • Steak and pound cake. I went to a friend's house and showed up after they had already eaten dinner and were about to eat dessert. So I grabbed a leftover steak and some pound cake and ended up eating them together.

  • Chocolate and chipotle pepper go together very well too.

  • A-ha's acoustic version of Take On Me is wonderful and very different from the original.

    Apple grafting update

    So far 2 of the 3 scions are putting out growth. I'm hoping the 3rd gets around to it eventually.

    Virtual Chopped, Round 1

    OK, we had some interest, so let's see how this goes!

    Create a tasting menu using the ingredients below. 3-6 courses. Each ingredient must be used at least once, and each course must include at least 1 ingredient. Ingredients can be used multiple times.

    If you aren't playing, upvote menus that you like!

    Virtual Chopped?

    I used to play a game with fellow home cooks and chefs way back in the MySpace days (but we called it Virtual Iron Chef... I feel like it's more like Chopped, but I guess the name doesn't matter).

    Anyway, the way it works is you are presented with a list of ingredients. You create a tasting menu using those ingredients. Each ingredient must be used at least once, and each course must contain at least one of the ingredients. Menus can consist of 3 to 6 courses. Anyone who posts a menu gets to compete. Voting takes place over 2 days. Obviously the sooner you get a menu in the more potential you have for up votes.

    Note: Rule above about number of menus and time limit were modified to better accommodate people submitting menus and giving people time to vote.

    People vote by upvoting the menu they like the best. After the alotted period of time a winner is selected. The winner then gets to select a list of ingredients (the winner cannot compete during this round) and the game continues.

    Took a minute or two to figure this out

    I saw that our front door camera detected motion, so I looked at the video and saw this. I genuinely thought it was some sort of goblin or something running down the stairs towards our gate.

    Grafting project

    Our apple tree wasn't doing much of anything (it barely even ever flowered), so I finally cut it down and bark grafted 3 different varieties onto it - Liberty, Ashmead, and Cox Orange Pippin. These should all be able to pollinate one another. We also have a Honeycrisp tree nearby that should benefit from this, too.

    David Lebovitz's Chocolate Sherbet recipe

    https://www.davidlebovitz.com/chocolate-sherbet/

    Easily one of if not the best chocolate ice creamy things I've put in my mouth, including other chocolate ice creams. I made my batch with water so that the chocolate flavor would be more "pure" and added a shot of espresso. It turned out great in my Ninja Creami.

    Potato starch noodles with homemade chili crisp

    Potato starch noodle recipe: https://www.chinasichuanfood.com/handmade-potato-noodles/

    For my chili crisp:

    • 1/2c vegetable oil
    • 1tbsp soy sauce
    • 1tbsp black vinegar
    • 1/2tbsp brown sugar
    • 1tbsp sichuan peppercorns, ground
    • 1tsp ground cumin
    • 1tsp chicken bouillon (or just use salt and some msg)
    • 1tbsp sesame seeds
    • 1tbsp ginger, minced
    • 2tbsp gochugaru
    • 4 chile de arbol, coursely ground (adjust up or down based on how spicy you like it)
    • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
    • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
    • Note: chopped peanuts are a great addition to this - I am allergic, so I leave them out, but you should consider adding them

    Mix together gochugaru, ginger, brown sugar, and spices in a heat proof container. Heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, cook and stir often until you start to see some color, then strain them out and put them on a paper towel to drain. Add onions to oil and repeat process. Heat oil to 375F or until smoking, then pour into the rest of the ingredients

    Superbowl wings

    I just threw these together on Sunday with what we had on hand. The wings at the top are honey maple lime, and the ones on the bottom are sambal.

    Cooked a pork belly porchetta

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/24687733

    Hey all! I'm the moderator over at !cooking@lemmy.world. Just started BBQing not long ago.

    I used Kenji López-Alt's recipe, but did it in my BGE and smoked it a bit. Here's the final product:

    When I do this again, I would make two adjustments. One is that I'll cook it to an internal temp of 175F to make it more tender (Kenji's recipe called for 165 which I feel is too low). The other adjustment l'll make is to crisp/puff up the skin a different way. It was too difficult to crisp evenly using the rotisserie, so next time I may pour hot oil over it or take a Searzall to it instead.

    Sticky Yuzu Chicken

    This was a riff off of this recipe:

    https://www.food.com/recipe/gordon-ramsays-sticky-lemon-chicken-301320

    But I replaced the honey and lemon with yuzu cheong that I had made (pretty easy to find this in Korean stores labeled as citron tea). I also added in some chiles and zucchini.

    The original recipe is pretty tasty and I'd recommend making it, but if you happen to have some yuzu cheong on hand it is even better IMHO.

    Tepache de Piña

    Making tepache out of the skin from the pineapple that I grew. I had to cut the recipe in half since my pineapple was tiny.
