Wow that looks wonderfully steaky. I wonder if I can use those Chinese flavors I did and make this in a vegetarian form.

^^^ Eggplant is amazing. Maangchi has a really tasty simple recipe if you like Korean flavors: http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/gaji-namul

My dinner picture was terrible but delicious:



Original recipe: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/05/asparagus-and-ramp-soup-with-yogurt-recipe.html

I read through the comments and saw several complaints about the resulting soup being fibrous, so I went pretty aggressive on my trimming and ended up trimming off about 55% of the stalk length. I didn't want that to go to waste, so I chopped that up into 3 or 4 pieces per stalk and put it in a pressure cooker with the chicken stock for about half an hour to infuse some asparagus flavor.

I also just sauteed the tender stems and heads instead of blanching them, and deglazed the pan with some white wine which I poured into the food processor, which worked about as well as a blender would have. It wasn't a totally smooth soup, and I didn't strain it, however all the solid bits were very tender and non-fibrous.

The next time I make it, I may add a bit of acid ... either white vinegar or lemon juice.

(edit) - No ramps here, so I subbed green onions.

Not a fan of raw ones, usually, but I can eat them without prickles. So it's either a really subtle nightshade thing, or eggplants just... Do something weird with my throat?

I get the same thing actually if they're not fully cooked. Some varieties seem to do it more than others.

I didn't want to do Chinese classical music even though it can be very pretty, because that would've just been way too much. Instead I went with the French electroswing group, Caravan Palace. With the volume down low it was very nice and stimulating without being too energetic.

Give it a listen.

An astonishing feast, and some excellent taste in music! Seeing the Xiao Long Bao reminded me of my trip to Taiwan last year where I tried those for the first time. Life-changing.

Sean Brock of Husk has a cookbook out, Heritage. He has a recipe for his loving amazing cheeseburg in it.



Here's my attempt. Did a rough grind of chuck with a bit of flank and a tiny bit of bacon mixed in, 3 oz patties cooked on a flat top in rendered beef fat smashed style, shaved onion under the cheese, Brock's burg sauce on top and bottom of a potato roll. Wedges were parboiled in vinegared and salted water, dried off, dusted with seasoned cornstarch and wok fried.

So drat good. I think I got it like 95% as good as the restaurant's.


Edit:

In comparison, here's the burg from Husk.

I never liked mixing bacon into the grind on my beef, you miss out on the texture and have to cook the hell out of your beef.

I wouldn't know, but I think if you crisp up the bacon beforehand it should solve that problem.

It's probably because you're doing it wrong. ;)

This was like 2 ounces bacon for 3 pounds of beef. It's to get a bit of that smokiness like from charcoal grilling while getting the even crust from cooking on the flat top. Also, by nature the smashed technique kinda cooks "the hell" out of beef anyway and is still super delicious.

It's not like the dumb burgers you see online that use large enough amounts you'd call it a bacon patty or something. I didn't even know there was bacon in the patty until I looked up his recipe later on in Heritage. I just assumed he was cooking it next to a wood fire or something subtle. The little but of bacon in the grind really does male that difference though.

this came out really good. I made a lot more than what the recipe called for, so I will probably add some beans tomorrow. Otherwise it was really good. I kept it pretty close to the recipe, but I made a full on stock with the smoked pork knuckle, and added a little white pepper and caraway seed, and some green pepper

Apologies in advance for crap pictures.

I made 80% hydration baguette from The Weekend Bakery again. I love this poo poo. I burned the bottom a little because the rack was too low, and my shaping blows, but the bread itself came out pretty great. Could have used a little more salt.



Also delicious and super simple Greek salad that I've been making for years, I love the poo poo out of this too. I usually use just cucumber, tomato and red onion but I've been adding spinach lately by roommate request. This is also really delicious with clementine segments. Vinaigrette is just red wine vinegar and olive oil, feta cheese, salt and pepper. Kalamata olives, of course.



Finally I made a massive batch of mac and cheese (penne, whatever) with a roux base for the first time in years, was extremely simple and delicious. Sauteed lots of butter and onions, added garlic powder, salt and pepper, some crushed chillis, three tbsps white flour, sauteed a little more until the flour was browned a bit, slowly added about a litre of whole milk, a quantity of two year aged Canadian cheddar (maybe 150g? 200g?), half a small tin of tomato paste, about 200g of bruschetta, and finished with oregano. Super easy to throw together with random ingredients from around the house and roommates strongly approved.

Well, I finally did it. I have made the best pizza that I have ever tasted.

I've been cooking pizza twice a week for the last 12 weeks or so, doing tons of side by side taste tests for each main ingredient, trying different dough hydrations, rise times and temperatures, etc... While much more practice is needed to consistently kick out the same level of quality, I am very happy with results.

This pizza was:

3 day cold rise dough
Carmelina San Marzano tomatoes (salted and passed through a food mill)
Pecorino Romano grated finely
Fresh Mozzarella
Sprinkle of Ning Chi Super Hot chili oil
Hot Calabrese Salami



I'm a little emotional lately but this literally brought tears to my eyes. That pepperoni salami. I can taste it.

that all looks awesome. I actually just did a similar salad - cucumber, tomato, red onion, mint, feta, pear vinegar, and a few olives with some nicely done chicken. Just a really nice, light flavor for warmer weather.

That bread looks fan-loving-tastic
