The Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I've known gets mean when he drinks.
I made the Serious Eats Ragú Napoletano last week and after eating about half of it just with pasta, I decided to do a baked pasta. I also made mozzarella for the second time on Friday and had about a pound of it to use.







and I made some garlic knots from leftover pizza dough.

Hey, looks nice, what is it you guys call Swiss cheese? Because I'm Swiss and I don't know what Swiss cheese is. Gruyere is obviously the best cheese in the world tho :eng101:
Also I like to add a little Kirsch in the fondue as well (it's a cherry based alcohol which gives it a nice kick).

This man knows what's up. A shot of kirsch taken midway through the fondue is also great (coup du milieu). Also the best fondue is 1/2 Gruyere and 1/2 Vacherin Fribourgeois but good luck finding the latter though it's so good, though it varies far more widely in taste and texture than gruyere.

Man I haven't had one in a while :( So expensive unless I find myself in switzerland to pick up that stuff though.

For foods (or other words) in foreign languages a good quick trick is to go to that language's google images and type in the word. It's really forgiving of spelling which is great.

It's an American variety of Emmental


Also I always was taught to use Kirshwasser in with the fondu, but hell the last time I made it, it came out super watery, so what do I know

Oh hey! I made Pad thai also, but I made the food and wine version. My grocery store apparently had a run on bean sprouts so I did not have any, but some fresh red Jalapenos really kicked it up as I also was without thai chilis.



Does Tamarind really dye the noodles red? I never get my Pad Thai as red as any Thai place I have been to and I assume it has to do with using vinegar as opposed to Tamarind paste.

Paprika for the red!

We have a bunch of leftover stuff in my fridge right now, and I'm trying to use it up before it goes bad, so lately I've been making these:

(Google, thank you for being so creepy and automatically turning my pictures into semi-stabilized .gifs)




They're really tasty, only take about 5 minutes total (preheat oven, assemble 'pizza', and bake for 4 minutes) and I've learned that tortillas are basically super crispy pizza crusts.

Nah, that's my half-effort kind of meal. Lazy for me would be what I did yesterday for lunch... I spread leftover pizza sauce (as in the sauce I asked the pizza place for on the side when I ordered a pizza) on a toasted everything bagel thin, then sprinkled it with pre-shredded mozzarella cheese, and broiled it. Sometimes I make really embarrassing, trashy, bachelor-y "meals."

Your BELT sandwich looks loving fantastic, by the way---specifically, the toasty crunchiness of that bread.

It actually should just be perspective, you can see the burrito is nearly twice as tall as the ramekin of guac, and with the leaf being flat, you can get a sense that the leaf and burrito are both normal size.

Yeah. sharkattack also shot with a 100mm lens which really compresses any objects in the background making em appear a lot closer/bigger than they should.

My pictures could be so much better and crisper if I would use a tripod, but I really like to be able to move around easily to get different shots, so I just hold the camera. Also, I'm impatient.

I usually just shoot outside on my little balcony, in natural light, even if it's dusk or rainy. This is usually incredibly odd to my neighbors (I live across from a park), and I get asked what the hell I'm doing all the time. It's really awkward to explain you're having a photo shoot with a large piece of raw pork or a dozen cupcakes...

If it's full on nighttime and I absolutely *have* to shoot inside, then I have a basic light kit that I pull out with two big lights. One has a reflector umbrella and the other has a white diffuser umbrella. Orrrrr if I'm too lazy to do that, I'll flip the WB on my camera to tungsten and shoot in the horrible lights in my house, then do a crazy amount of WB in post.

Both of those photos are natural light. The burrito photos were taken on a day where it was pouring rain, so I was right inside my sliding glass door with very little light, hence all the grain in the photos.

And I just realized I took way too long to explain that I shoot outside in natural light :downswords:

Not the most photogenic, and I've carefully avoided photographing some of the ones that look worse, but they're pretty good! I made chocolate, raspberry, blueberry, and chocolate raspberry, but the raspberry preserves seem to have kept the chocolate from melting for some chemistry-related reasons I don't fully understand, so those look a little funny.

That's literally just Nong Shim Black instant ramen with some stuff on top (hard-boiled egg, scallions, narutomaki, roasted nori, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, celery and carrots) and a blop of sesame oil added to the broth. If you want to get fancy on Asian food though, wander on over to the Chinese thread, Korean thread, or the Japanese thread!
