Re: Cooking
Yesterday I grilled some salt & peppered Kangaroo fillets, sliced 'em up, and served them on a nice fresh garden salad with a balsamic vinegar dressing.
It was simple and delicious.

Re: Cooking
After reading an article or two about breakfast salads (Australians, is this really a thing?), yesterday I decided to prep myself a week of Mason jar salads for breakfast. Day 1 has been consumed and it was surprisingly great; I like savory breakfasts anyway, and I loved not to have to do any prepwork in the morning aside from shaking up the jar and dumping it into a bowl.
Making fancy salads is sort of a pain in the ass because there are so many little fiddly things to wash and chop, but doing a bunch at once is kind of fun.
This week's jars:
I guess I'll find out how my jars are holding up by the end of the week... I shook up the apples and avocado to coat them with dressing before adding the other ingredients, so hopefully that will keep them from turning brown, and I piled plenty of crunchy stuff in to separate the soft greens from the dressing. I was on a Mason jar salad kick years ago, the first time we tried doing Whole30 (which is kind of bullshit but does force you to eat better), but I don't think I ever tried to preserve more delicate stuff like apples/avocados in the jars when I did it before.

This week's jars:
- Fresh lemon juice/olive oil/toasted sesame oil/Dijon mustard vinaigrette, with salt and white pepper and a little sugar to balance the lemon
- Cosmic Crisp apples (OVERRATED! I still 100% prefer a Honeycrisp. And one of my apples with a "1-year shelf life" already has a soft brown spot)
- Avocado chunks
- Pea shoots
- Shredded carrots
- Cucumbers
- Feta cheese
- Red bell pepper
- Pumpkin seeds
- Hard-boiled eggs
- Peeled sweet potato chunks
- Arugula
- Spring mix
- Chopped fresh herbs: flatleaf parsley, dill, cilantro

Re: Cooking
Well, we don't call it "breakfast salad", we call it Smashed Avo on Toast. Common breakfast/brunch thing in cafés. That lettuce looks a little over the top for a Smashed Avo breakfast, but apart from that, yum.owl wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 11:00 amAfter reading an article or two about breakfast salads (Australians, is this really a thing?), yesterday I decided to prep myself a week of Mason jar salads for breakfast.

Re: Cooking
Isn't that avocado toast, though? We do lots of avocado toast but it involves toast. The article I was reading talked about actual salads with lettuce and such.
@Micah I'd happily mail you a salad, but you would have to promise to eat it after its journey through the USPS

Re: Cooking
I got a Turkish coffee set and after making way too many batches that were boiled way too hard and cleaning burnt powdery coffee off of my stove, I've finally figured out how to get a damn good cup.
Also, my shiitake logs are going nuts so I've been cooking a ton of those. Any good shiitake recipes from you songfighters?

Re: Cooking
I like to sauté shiitake and then add tofu and then use that in ramen or udon or whatever. It also makes for great mushroom broth.

Re: Cooking
Chapchae! There's a bunch of other stuff in it, but I feel like shiitakes are essential.
I've never made this before, but one of these days I want to try making shiitake bacon.

Re: Cooking
It’s chili time! Let me share my wife’s grandfather’s idiot-proof firehouse chili recipe, slightly modified by me with some options:
1 can each (do not drain, dump in liquid and all):
1 diced onion, big as you want
3 globs minced garlic to taste (I dump a lot in there)
Teaspoon salt
Slathering of chili powder— a tablespoon or so maybe more
Big slathering of cumin— like a tablespoon at least, this is the money dust
Tablespoon of cocoa powder
Optional cayenne to taste if you like it spicy
Dump it all in the crock pot on high for four hours. Or less if you’re hangry. You’re basically just cooking the onions through a bit and heating it all up.
Great immediately, better the next day because it all comes together and thickens.

1 can each (do not drain, dump in liquid and all):
- Light red kidney beans
- Dark red kidney beans
- Black beans
- Pinto beans
- “Chili” beans (pinto beans in a chili sauce)
- Rotel
- Small can tomato sauce
- Small can of corn

Re: Cooking
I forgot to write down my recipe (did a mole poblano-inspired chili with ground up pepitas and hazelnuts and cocoa powder) for a friend's chili potluck party recently. But I loved the party because he asked everyone to wear white, so we were all wandering around dressed in (temporarily) immaculate white outfits with big bowls of chili, just waiting for a disaster.
One of my favorites was a chili macaroni and cheese casserole with crushed-up Fritos on top. Another favorite involved local grass-fed beef tongue and cheek pieces.

Re: Cooking
One of my weeknight go-tos is taco night followed by using up the leftover taco meat in chili. My recipe is more or less the same as JB’s, though I don’t do corn in mine (serve with cornbread instead). I like to do a tablespoon each of dark chili powder, chipoatle chili powder, and smoked paprika, and a ton of cumin.
Love to eat the leftover chili on a bed of fritos, and of course chili-cheese tater tots.

Re: Cooking
can't believe I haven't posted my chili recipe anywhere that still exists. Let's fix that
Ingredients:
For a good time also consider soaking dried beans overnight and using those instead of canned beans. If you do this you'll want to add the tomatoes after the cooking is mostly done, to prevent the beans from remaining crunchy. (Because crunchy beans aren't very good.)
Ingredients:
- 1 pound appropriate protein (ground/cubed beef/turkey/pork/tofu/TVP/whatever)
- 1 medium-to-large yellow onion
- EDIT: an absolute shitload of cumin (I can't believe I forgot this bit)
- 1 small can tomato paste
- 1 regular-size can of diced/sliced/crushed tomatoes (fire roasted is good)
- 2-3 chipotle pods (dried) and/or other peppers to taste (guajillo, jalapeño, cayenne, whatever)
- 1-2 cans of beans of your choice (black/pinto/kidney/northern), drained and rinsed (this ingredient is contentious, do not read this recipe if you are going to be a jerk about it)
- 1 can of corn, drained
- 1 quart of chicken/beef/vegetable broth/stock
- 8-12 ounces of beer (optional); stout/porter work best, or try for something lower in hops
- 3-4 cloves crushed garlic
- oregano or something
- brown the protein (add fat e.g. canola/bacon fat/refined olive oil/etc. if it's lean/veg)
- dice the onion and sweat it in the protein's delicious fat
- add the absolute shitload of cumin and stir it in
- brown the tomato paste a little bit
- add everything else
- bring it to a boil
- reduce to a low simmer
- cover, wait 45 minutes
- enjoy

Roo tastes like shit. It is tough as buggery and just a waste of time. Whatever you are buying labelled as roo - if it is edible - is probably just rat or cat. I can’t believe they would actually export that stuff

As for the fillets I ate, I'd be horrified if they'd come from a rat because hat would've been a freaking enormous rat which scares me in my dreams. I guess they could've been cat fillets, but I would've expected cat to taste a little more ambivalent.
