Starting a few weeks away from home so cooked up another lasagne from scratch. Perfect comfort food.

Tried making pulled pork for the first time in the slow cooker. Used it for tacos. Impressed by how much fat comes off a pork shoulder and how juicy it ends up.

That Works posted:

Next time separate out some of the fat and reserve, take the meat and drain the liquid out of it with a slotted spoon or something, spread the meat out on a sheet in a thin layer, paint it a little bit with the reserved fat and toss it under the broiler to crisp up and brown the tips. Turn it all over on the pan and repeat.

It goes from being very good like you just did to even better.

That sounds forking delicious. Will definitely try next time.

You've just inspired me to purchase a slow cooker. I love the idea of setting this up in the morning, drinking beer out all day, then coming home for some ready-made tacos. Any other good uses for one?

We make lamb shanks in ours all the time and they're awesome

I have definitely shattered a mason jar full of hot bacon fat by putting it straight back into the fridge though, so leave it sitting out so the hot fat cools down a bit before you put it back.

I ended up using less potato than it says to use. I think the potatoes I got were much larger than the recipe asks for and even 2 of them crowded the pot so I used probably 1.5 extra large potatoes.

Thanks!

Yay I made crepes for the first time and they were edible. They had a creamy chicken, mushroom and asparagus filing. I didn't really know how to flip them or cook them since I don't really eat crepes so it was a bit experimental. At least after the first failed one I was able to get them out of the pan.

My first attempt was a little blob of sad looking batter. It doesn't help that I don't really like pancakes so never make them.

Savoury crepes on the other hand turned out to be delicious and will be being made again.

Look at you taking umbrage with the pineapple and not the pickles or the mustard, tomato sauce combo instead of bbq sauce. Hand in your thongs and eureka stockade flag tattoo.

loving bbq sauce can gently caress off too. The exception is the reaper chilli bbq sauce I got from the markets in the weekend, that can stay

And that snag meat idea sounds like a winner

I know it doesn't look impressive (nor is it complicated or difficult), but dinner tonight made me feel super proud. Made everything from scratch, had four different foods cooking separately simultaneously (in the oven, the stovetop, the bbq and a pan on the bbq side burner), and had to overcome challenges on the fly (the steaks were all cooked to specific, different, requests, and all hosed up their cooking times because our bbq is terrible, so I had to switch which was which around and play it by ear). Everything came out delicious and was well complimented (and everyone had seconds), and I feel very satisfied with my glass of wine, listening to the dishwasher.

It's scotch fillet steaks cooked on the barbecue, with a mushroom cream sauce. The sides are potato au gratin and garlic butter beans.







E: I was most happy that I got the steaks cooked perfectly. Mine was medium-rare, the others were medium and medium-well. 70% of the way through the cooking process I realised none were going to get close to the right temperatures, but they were in the right ballpark to switch around and still get the right results.

It burnt around the edges, but my first attempt at cauliflower pizza came out delicious. This had a chopped up pork chop and habanero topping.











Could use a little more with squeezing the moisture out of the cauliflower post processing, and a little more baking time. Still was delicious, with a flavourful base.

The weird thing is that I wasn't trying to do anything low carb, I just had a half cauliflower and no idea what to do with it (I normally hate the stuff)

Although that recipe looks loving awesome and I will be trying it
