Garbage photos, because I wasn't planning on posting them. But the drink in the last picture has kicked in, so here was meal prep over the past week.

I also made a pizza, here it is. Poster above: looks good.

I was lazy and just used the premade dough they sell out of the Publix bakery, which has given me good results historically (and well worth the $3 to avoid having to make dough).

A heavy lunch bothered our stomachs so we tried going a little more bland for dinner. Just made a big pot of chicken and rice. Threw in some parsley and spinach for a few extra vitamins. My wife says it tastes really good, but I can’t taste poo poo.

Made seriouseats shaksuka for me and some family last night. I never really cook outside my tiny and very crude repertoire, but I'd been wanting to try shaksuka for a long time thanks to this thread and I'm pretty damned happy with how this turned out, considering. This is immediately post-feta-sprinkling, pre-serving. Accompanied it with a really crusty mutilated baguette.


Also, thank you, all of you. Been reading these threads whenever I eat something dull since 2015, so you've given me the subjective equivalent of several thousand really good meals.

looks good, I like making this in a basic red tomato sauce with guajillo, in mexico we call it huevos ahogados or 'drowned eggs'... but they also come poached in all varieties of salsas... green tomatillo, dark red toasted ancho, etc... plus it is great for when there is a small crowd, just throw all the eggs in at the same time.

I offer a moment of silence for the seasoning of your cast iron pan with the simmering of that tomato, though :gonk:

I've always operated under the idea that doing it once here or there won't matter but that constantly cooking acidic things will start to leech. I don't remember where that came from and haven't given it thought in a decade as its easy enough to accommodate.

I guess it depends on your definition of once here or there and constantly. You prob shouldn't be boiling vinegar or cook a tomato sauce for 8 hours, but making shakshuka even a couple times a week, every week should not dent the seasoning on your pan.

A lot of people mention a metallic aftertaste when cooking something for a long time, but I haven't noticed it myself.

the leeching can also be a good thing, iirc, I'm pretty anemic and have often been told to use a cast-iron pan for cooking so that I can absorb some of its power

The only other thing I'm regularly using it for is budgetbytes-style dragon noodles so if it's dying it's probably doing so very very slowly, even with my kitchen skills.
May very well try shaksuka again on my own time though. When I was little I absolutely hated tomatoes and peppers, but I've come around more every year since, and this was bone-deep satisfying. Going to use more garlic next time, and I definitely need to get a better grasp on the cooking time for the eggs - the yolks were firmed by the time they were done.
Also it turned out crushing whole canned tomatoes with your bare hands is incredibly satisfying so there's another reason to go back for more.

Not expecting anything to happen to the pan, but it will remove seasoning even if simmering for a few minutes, I'd just use a nonstick for that

Thanks. So many dishes look a million times better just by adding a little green to them. If you ever think something is looking bland, try adding some chopped parsley or spinach. It instantly helps.

That's... not quite right. Tomatoes aren't great, but as long as you clean your pan straight after cooking you'll be fine.

I've been keeping busy to push some poo poo out my head.

Like chicken wings.

Sous vide ribeye strip steak and a baked potato. The notable elements are the parsley and (not pictured) the green onions for the potato and thyme for the butter baste, all 3 of which were home grown in my tiny garden. Fresh herbs make everything taste so fresh and bright and I love it and regret not growing my own sooner. Although everything was a *tad* too salty because I unearthed a bag of Japanese sea salt in the back of a cabinet and miiight have overdone it a bit.

I don't feel like parsley has ever added anything to any dish I've made or eaten. I'm not hating on your steak (though you are missing the sliced pics), I just don't understand what the point of parsley even is. Am I like those weirdos who don't like cilantro?

It was in the seed pack I got so I gave it a try. In restaurants I just ignored it. For this I had bits with slices of the steak and it brightened up the flavors a bit. Fun variety for me at least.
Apologies for not slicing the steak for y’all. Was hungry and just dove in.

If you mean a sprinkle, agreed. It’s good as a salad, in hot or cold soups, deep fried as a garnish and (my personal favourite) in a sauce for gammon or ham. The key is quantity, you need a lot to really get into the taste. A sprinkle or a sprig is just eh (no offense).

Try tabbouleh. The proper stuff not store-bought that's 90% bulgur wheat.

I use a lot of parsley. It’s perfect as anything from a garnish on pasta or a straight up main ingredient in tabouli. You can use it in so much I just instinctively keep it around and never regret adding it to anything.

A friend served me fried chicken with fried parsley as garnish and it was a pretty good complement to the chicken.

Every time I've made something that called for fresh parsley my first reaction is always "I wish I'd left the parsley off." I'm just not picking up what everyone else is putting down here. And I'm someone that likes cilantro.
