In which it’s a recipe! Now, this dish doesn’t look much in this photo because I was too lazy to properly plate or garnish, but it’s nutty, incredibly rich, earthy, and awesome. Soba is a Japanese pasta made with buckwheat flour, wheat flour, and sometimes yam. It’s often served chilled in summer with a tamari-based […]
In which there’s a TINY GRILL! So I use a Chase VISA that gives me points. I spent some on this little grill and it arrived today. I realize it’s a pandemic and I probably should have turned those points into cash but JUST LOOK AT THIS ADORABLE, PORTABLE LITTLE THING. Holy shit. Smitten. Now […]
In which I’m on about the anti-vax movement again because really can’t figure out how it attracts so many otherwise normal human beings. Like, most of the people I loved during my Fairfield/TM days. No SHIT, right? Right? Antivaxxers and alternative medicine quacks are attracted to simple solutions. Reinforces their worldview, which is that they’re […]
In which these are just baking notes (I’ll want to know what ratios I used if this batch is either a raging success or a terrific failure). Grocery store’s been entirely out of flour the last few times I was in there, but last Sunday’s paper had an article about a local wheat farmer. Visited […]
In which, okay, I know I’ve posted too much about bread lately, and some of these pics are recycled, but this is my adaptation of someone else’s adaptation of the ‘Artisan Bread In 5 Minutes A Day’ method. I think I’ve got my dough recipe dialed in! This has amazing crust and crumb. Here we […]
In which we’re having a GLOBAL PANDEMIC, guys. In case you haven’t had time to stay caught up, here’s a quick pandemic data dump. Oregon governor today bans dine-in, gatherings over 25 https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2020/03/amid-coronavirus-oregon-will-not-yet-impose-curfew-on-restaurants-and-bars-gov-kate-brown-declares.html Multiple states following CDC recs (the dumbass White House: ‘fake news’) https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/03/15/coronavirus-bars-restaurants-closed-states/5055634002/ Even fuckin’ Vegas is closing tomorrow?! https://vegas.eater.com/2020/3/15/21181058/mgm-resorts-closes-vegas-properties-march-16 Overview: – […]
In which there are things I’ve cooked. (Or baked! I guess baking is a different category.) I cook a lot, for a variety of reasons. Eating out is expensive. I live in the middle of nowhere and can only go out to eat if he (and his car) are home. I’ve become an experienced cook […]
In which there’s a tuna sandwich. I baked a loaf of bread and made a pressed sandwich: We ate it for dinner! (The expensive olive oil canned tuna has the texture and taste of canned tuna from my childhood. Made me feel a weird sort of nostalgia, even.) Update: holy SHIT was this amazing the […]
In which I’ve made PERFECT baguette! Holy shit, IT’S A MIRACLE! The #breadin5 dough has been hanging out in the fridge since the 17th, so today I baked it up and THE RESULTS were SPECTACULAR: The crust is delicately crisp, and the crumb is glossy and soft with lots of holes. It actually did that […]
In which there’s not really a recipe so as much as an assembly idea. I have leftover chili and it needs to be eaten, but another bowl of chili does not sound appealing. So I’ve mashed up a few recipes and here’s chili cheese enchiladas. Ingredients: leftover chili corn tortillas cottage cheese grated cheddar, divided […]
