I made pasta for the first time. It was fairly easy, but I quickly learned you definitely need a pasta rack.






Looks good, and you should try finishing the pasta in the sauce and some reserved cooking liquid. You'll be amazed at the difference.

I do noodles all the time, and I only use a rack if I'm drying it. Otherwise I just wrap it into a single serving size ball and leave it sit covered on the counter under a tea towel having been dusted with flour.

Last evening I made some noodles quick to go with some meat sauce I already had. I dusted with rice flour for the first time and it worked really nicely. No sticking and it seemed like it just washed off when it hit the water. I just made loose single serving piles of noodles and it turned out fine. In my past attempts, that would have been a mess of stuck together noodles.

I never noticed before, but it was really fast to make fresh noodles, something that people tend to assume is arduous -- went from eggs/flour/sauce in fridge to eating in < 30 minutes.

I enjoyed it very much. I spiced it with cumin seed, coriander and turmeric so it had a lot of falafel vibe to it. The recipe (here: https://www.bonappetit.com/story/cromlet-chickpea-omelet) describes it as kind of a cross between a crepe and an omelet, which describes it perfectly.
Thanks for the recipe!

Here's the other color I bought and tonight's dinner.



Had some leftover tare from ramen night so I used it to make crispy teriyaki tofu (scallions and roasted broccoli stems), and broccoli with peanuts tossed in burnt garlic sesame oil. The bitterness from the burnt garlic oil really played well with the sweet/salty flavors of the teriyaki.

Wow, I'm really annoyed. I was looking for something exactly like that to replace my dishes and bought something similar but not quite perfect.

I really don't want to replace my less than a year old and perfectly good dishes but I have the feeling that I'm going to cave.

Today I had last nights dinner again, some quiche with ham and feta cheese:


Then I made some sandwiches because I didn't feel that was enough on it's own. It's a local dark, sweet bread that I fried in some butter and slathered some of this smoked salmon... stuff on. I would have preferred gravlax here since I don't like the taste of smoked salmon that much, but the bell pepper and cucumber did something so the flavours blended wonderfully, I had three of them and picky kid #2 wanted two.







Later we'll have some of these for dessert, this recipe but I halved the sugar because it seemed like a poo poo load. These ones are a bit on the sweet side even as they are. I added the cocoa flakes myself to make it less sticky on your fingers.

-22C outside today so it felt like a good day to make "tomtegröt", or rice pudding I guess is the english word. With sugar, cinnamon and a dab of butter in the middle (we call that the "smöröga", or butter eye). Some people prefer jam instead but I definitely prefer this.

I don't know really, probably Sweden I bet, but it's common in Finland too, and I guess Norway.

That was lunch, made smash burgers for dinner with some cheese sauce instead of plain cheese, only had toast for bread though,.

I cook a lot of Indian food. This is one of my go-to recipes because it's delicious and looks great but is easy to make.


Balti tamarind chicken with grape tomatoes.

It's one of those recipes with a million ingredients but where the actual process just boils down to "combine all of those ingredients into a sauce, cook the meat in the sauce, you're done".

Arrgytehpirate posted:

Here's the million (ok, dozen) ingredients you combine for the sauce:

3-4 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp tamarind paste
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp cayenne chilli powder (increase the amount if you want it spicier)
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp garlic-ginger paste (throw equal parts fresh, peeled garlic and ginger in a food processor / blender with just enough water to make it blend)
2 tbsp dried grated coconut
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp poppy seeds
1/4 cup of water

Mix all that together, and put some chicken in it.You can use large bone-in chicken pieces or sliced chicken breast or thigh, it doesn't really matter. Mix it all up so the chicken is thoroughly coated in the sauce.

Heat a bit of oil in a wok. IDK, like 4 or 5 tbsp? Enough that it's like an actual puddle of oil and not just coating the surface.

When the oil is hot, add:
a few curry or bay leaves (I'm still unconvinced bay leaves actually add a detectable taste to anything. No one's gonna notice if you leave them out)
1/2 tsp onion seeds
a couple dried red chillies
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds

Fry for about a minute, then add the chicken and sauce. Keep the heat on high at first, stirring it constantly. Once all the pieces of chicken are a bit browned you can turn the heat down.

Let it cook on low-med heat for about 15 mins until the chicken is cooked through.
Cooking time may vary depending on whether you're using small pieces of meat or whole legs / drumsticks / whatever.
I usually just use sliced chicken breast because I'm boring and don't actually like gnawing on bones, which makes it quick.

Throw in a couple handfuls of grape or cherry tomatoes, and cook for another few minutes.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with basmati rice.

This is like the one Indian dish I know that doesn't start with frying onions.

Roasted red pepper, broccoli rabe and smoked provolone sandwich / quick tomato soup
In hindsight I would have split the baguette completely and made it an actual sandwich instead of grinder style.

Blanched it for a minute or so to soften it up a little then just cooked it down with garlic, chili flakes and EVOO and mixed in the peppers at the end.

I made fish tacos again and since I never have pictures I decided to take some







Last time I made them with white onion and I think that is the superior version. They stay crisp and flavorful while the green onions wilt really fast.

They look a little bit liquidy because I forgot I took the little plastic dribbler out of the mouth of the bottle and splashed too much in.

Just a photo tip - try a wider aperture with either indirect light from a window etc or bounced flash if you have a speedlight so your photos don't look like you didn't pay your power bill. Food looks like it'd be good tho!

Next time you make tacos, try toasting your tortillas. Heat up a dry nonstick pan to medium heat and toast them one or two at a time til black spots just start to form. Much better texture and flavor.
