Yeah, although I wouldn't really call that kind of unusual. I guess pickled habs are less common than, say, pickled jalapeños. But they're still something that, for example, I've seen sold in grocery stores. I don't think I've ever had candied habs anywhere apart from making them.

I also like habanero jelly, but I kinda feel like pepper jellies/jams/marmalades have gotten more familiar lately, and they're another thing that you can occasionally find as an upscale/artisan/whatever the gently caress thing in grocery store delis or whatever. Which is cool, but if you're looking to make something unusual it seems like you'd want something you couldn't find in a grocery store.

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.

Speaking of habaneros, I had a bunch of them and was not interested in making more hot sauce or salsa since I have plenty of both. I wound up using some of them for pikliz and some of them for a mango shrub, but I still have maybe half a dozen left. I want to do something kind of unusual with them but I'm a little stumped. Cornbread...? I don't think gazpacho would be a weird use of the things but it might be a nice dish to say goodbye to the summer.

deseeded/deveined and super finely diced in a sauce or dressing is great and super simple

I've pickled and hot sauced with a lot of the ones I grew this summer, but ended up just freezing a baggie full as well to pull out and add to stuff during the winter

I've only recently pickled habs. Never seen them in the store. Seem like they'd be too hot for the average American imo. Candied habs sound pretty good and would probably be a great topping for that hab ice cream for looks.

Oh, this might be it. I have a friend who'd normally give me a few jars of jalapeno jam each Autumn who we aren't going to see this year, so I'm into this idea.
A bunch are pickling right now with the rest of the pikliz, although I guess that isn't quite the same thing.

Made this, A+ idea. My partner was dubious and at first said "I'll just have a small taste" but then got a bowl of it to eat, so it went down well.

"Fish sauce caramel" is still getting some odd looks but going to give it a go this weekend.

Fish sauce caramel is loving great! I mess around with garums and protein based ferments a lot at my restaurant and recently made some cincy-chili-garum-caramel-apples that were ~legit~. If you want a liiiittle more accessible savory caramel, go with black olives. Kalamata caramel strawberry ice cream is ace.

Speaking of milk products, anyone got any good suggestions on how to make a properly thick milkshake, cause I definitely have the process on making a good tasting one down, but I just can't get the thickness right

Spindle mixers work best, but you can still get a nicely thick milkshake in a blender if you keep the ice cream cold as poo poo (like -10F). Anything generating heat is your enemy. The other key in my experience is a super yolky custard base, you want a lot of fat but you don't want dairy fat. Gobs of malt powder can help too, but that really limits your flavor profile. If you want cheat codes there's always Thick & Easy to help.

The weird cream cheese and corn starch based ice cream bases a la Jeni's make for nice thick shakes too, but again, they can be a little limiting with flavors.

So the Missus has been doing some shallow frying in one of our all clad pans, and a bunch of the fat ha got dark and tacky (polymerized?) and when this used to build up on pans at work, the Sous would run them through some sort of electrolytic bath. Has anyone hooked one up at home?

I have no illusions re: smoke because I have a basic understanding of the interaction of physics and biochem, but I work for a Japanese company which makes it an easier sell.

Anybody else get a weird mouth feel if they absentmindedly drink too much water in a day? I looked up hyponatremia (when your blood salt levels fall too low) and I don't have the clinical symptoms, but I could be inching that direction. I had some hibiscus soda at lunch to try and combat it, which made it better for several hours. Well, either that or it was confirmation bias. Or the beetus.

I wear glasses and often cry like a baby cutting onions. I either have very sensitive eyes or eat a lot of ornery onions (or just a lot of onions in general).

Any kind of barrier will help to some degree, but you're still going to have gas getting under a face shield.

Is it just me who doesn't really have issues with tears, I mean I get a little teary eyed but I don't give a crap about that, if tears was all that onions gave then I wouldn't mind.

What about the intense burning eye pain that requires you to drop what you are doing and go wash your hands in soap, then wash your face with and rinse your eyes to make it stop? Is that only me?

I get it sometimes with organic onions but generally don’t notice a thing. When I get it though, I see what the fuss is about. It really stings.

Can you all think of a reason why a ribeye would turn out kind of medium despite the fact that it read a 104゚ on an instant read thermometer right before I started resting it? I would say it was about an inch and a 1/2 to 2" thick.



I did the rosemary butter basting technique on a tri ply steel pan with a gas burner. Rested immediately on a cutting board after a read of 104 at center and it rested off heat for ~7 min. I did pourover the butter at the start of the rest.


I started spooning butter over it after the initial sear so it was still fairly juicy, but I like my steaks rare. I had it out of the fridge for over an hour before I started cooking. I can't figure it out.

a lot of resting is to unfuck the temp differentials betw edge of meat and center of meat. maybe surface temp was too hot?

Yeah, carryover cooking is a thing. The thicker the piece of meat, the more you'll see.

104 to 140 (temp for medium) is a big jump though, are you sure your thermometer is good? Where'd you stick it?

Center mass. I use an outdoor wok and the high end is 13000 btu (I didn't have it cranked up obv).

Stick it in your mouth and see if it gives you a reasonable body temp, free check.
