What Have You Cooked Recently? -

Panko is great for getting a result a lot like fried without actually frying.

I love using panko breadcrumbs for oven baked chicken.

My favorite comfort meal is pork, veal, or chicken katsu, I take whatever fresh cutlets I can get at the store, hammer them thin, dredge in flour, then in egg with a splash of milk, and finally in panko breadcrumbs before I fry them in oil. I make Short grain rice in the instant pot, shred up some cabbage with a dollop of mayo, and then make a katsu sandwich for the next day from any leftover meat.

I made bread rolls from scratch. I also made a big mess!
They came out slightly lopsided but still tasty.

Eight ounces of heavy whipping cream, pre-chilled whipped senseless for almost ten minutes until it forms stiff peaks, then whip in a can of dulce de leche. Freeze it. Eat incredibly rich caramel ice cream.

To make the can of dulce de leche, rip the label off a can of sweetened condensed milk. Put it in a pressure cooker. Cover it well over an inch over it in water. Do it for 40-60 minutes depending on your taste. Use *natural release*, that is just unplug the pressure cooker, and wait until the thing goes down and you can release it, then do not open it until it is cool.

Or if you don't like the potentially explodey part of this, just buy a can of dulce de leche. It's a lot better if you do it yourself.

The only other warning is if you do dulce de leche, if you do it too dark, it ends up with some crystals in it.

Oh, also, before you freeze it, top it with cellophane wrap over the top directly in contact with the ice cream.

Next day, you'll have ridiculously rich caramel ice cream. You might consider using slightly more heavy whipping cream, or slightly less dulce de leche.

Cream cheese kolaches (klobasnek, but locals pretty much call all Czech pastries kolaches here). First time trying from scratch. They're yummy, but this recipe was more briochey than fluffy, so I'm going to try another recipe another time. Trying to nail that super soft kolache bakery texture. Cream cheese filling has nutmeg and orange zest.

 

[eDove]

Chicken Alfredo Casserole. It's not even a little bit good for you, but it's so freaking tasty. I came up with it late one night when I didn't want to use one of my pots to make chicken alfredo, so I just threw it in the oven.

 

[Lame Entropy]

I made this raspberry lime bread thing.

[Fìddlesticks]

More of an assembly job as it's been oppressively hot and humid. I've taken to having this for lunch mixing the protein between chicken and tinned tuna. I boil eggs in the morning as soon as I get up. I pre baked 2 chicken breasts with garlic seasoning in the oven and cut into strips on Sunday night. The red pepper pulp is pre bought jarred roasted peppers pulsed with cayenne pepper and touch of red vinegar. Cos lettuce washed and torn. Chop chives and salt with generosity. Add more olive oil or dressing.

I had some "grill veggies," i.e., sliced squash, onions, and bell peppers, that I bought too much of from a week or so ago, a can of cream of mushroom, and milk.

I boiled those all together and reduced. Then I seared a pork chop and threw that in and continued reducing. Now I'm cooking the last of my spaghetti.

This will be somewhere between "meh" and "delicious." Let's find out!


Looks like I had way too much sauce. I'm going to toss rice in the rest and let that cook. Breakfast!




I tossed the bones back in, too. I like it!

I turned off the stove 15 minutes after tossing in the rice, but I forgot how electric stoves retain heat a long, long time.

So now I have a really gross-looking pot of grey-brown milk-and-squash porridge. It's very delicious, however.

 

[Sped Xing]

Trying again with Marinara sauce, this time without sugar and not from a can.

I chopped up an onion, fried half of it in olive oil until it started to turn brown, then added a small bell pepper (chopped up) and covered until the pepper was soft. Then I added the rest of the onion, and two quite large quite crummy tomatoes, oregano, and garlic. I blended one tomato thoroughly, then partly half of the other and the last I chopped by hand. Hopefully that will give some texture. Now I'm cooking it on medium, covered, until specifically I feel like it's ready.

Almost everything I bought from the convenience store next door.

EDIT: Deffo gonna need to reduce some. It's surprisingly watery. Duh. I am the stupid.

Its orange color makes me think of Nathan Mazri, but I think it tastes better than Garfield Eats.

 

[AnOminous]

I think I'm going to make that chicken leg quarters thing again except actually add in the dredge it in flour step before the egg and the panko. And maybe get a pepper or two from the plants in the garden.

 

[Cheerlead-in-Chief]

Neighbors gave us a lot of cherries picked from a tree in their church. A lot were ripe so Mom made them into a marmalade (though it has the consistency of syrup) and they're now in Mason jars in the fridge.

There's a huge bush of wild blackberries nearby. The owner of the property died recently. Would it be incredibly predatory to harvest them?

Nope.
We had blackberries growing at a park, and our old church and a house right next to it and we still picked them.

No, that's browsing, not predation.

Chicken / fish with some potatoes and veg most days. Simple enough.

Not really unless you're spotted by any cameras lol, owner's dead and the land is vacant so go for it!

If you feel like spicing it up a bit, buy some spices of your choosing (I'm a sucker for garlic, lemon pepper and spice mixes as a whole), properly season the chicken after cutting it into filets, spread flour on it to get a nice breading, then pan fry it in some butter or oil (not too much, not too little, let it get properly hot before) - don't overcook it and you get some easy, tasty breaded chicken filets! Works out great for pork too!

Any frozen pizzas can be improved by buying yourself some cheese slices, then letting the pizzas thaw for an hour or so then putting the cheeses on top and baking them in the oven, you get way more cheese doing that and it takes a bland pizza and makes it more palatable. Way better that way!

I usually do some random upgrades for a pizza I put in the oven, but these are those little 5" wide guys, not really worth firing up an oven over

made burritos again similar to the last time with pork and chipoltes in adobo sauce and black beans. I topped them with some salvadorian sour cream (which is slightly more acidic than american sour cream) and shredded quesso blanco.

Tbh I've been following the tranch thread and I've been nervous about making burritos and tacos. It's like every month or so they go down to cosco, stock up on refried beans, velveeta, mushrooms, olives, and god knows what else just to stuff their faces and indulge in pure gluttony.

They’re more concerned on the pre made beans n shit. You could prolly find a recipe for that. Olive and Mushroom idk. I’d send some but that would be dozing both of us
