/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Now for the bit that matches the pic in >>9160169
Oswald's gonna stew in his own juices a while so into the slow cooker he goes.

As for pic related: he's all cooked now. Just gotta cool him off and chop him up for oshizushi (octopus for oshizushi is chopped rather than sliced. I know for nigiri, it's sliced, but I think it could be either/or for maki).

Here's Oswald after a half-minute in the bath. He's all curled up and comfortable. Like a cat, only less of an asshole (fuck cats).

Before Parkinson's set it, I was a personal cook for a few families Before that (and partially during), a pro baker and a sandwich shop owner. If it wasn't for extra things I nicked while cooking/baking at work, I would've done the same myself.

Oh dear. That picture skips past a few steps, namely cutting up the 'pus to prepare for blanching (pic related) then actually blanching. Oops.

Oswald's quite upset at the moment. He's just in pieces over the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow. Pic related.

My entry isn't ready yet and won't be until tomorrow, but I'll post steps as I go.

So then: this is Oswald. He is an octopus. Say 'hi" to Oswald!

Never had spaghetti as a western-style pasta salad but certainly looks like something I'd eat. There's a Burmese noodle salad I like that uses wheat noodles, but since I can't find the right sort of wheat noodles where I live, I just use spaghetti when I make it.
For obvious reasons, hot countries have a lot more cold mains than other countries tend to.

Hate to be /that/ asshat, but I might use octopus instead of the cod I mentioned in >>9136834
I was routing about in my freezer for a bag of cauliflower florets I froze a while back and found an octopus I'd forgotten about, so I think I'll thaw it out, slow cook it dry in the oven to make it tender, then cool, slice and add to the sushi. Only thing, I wouldn't use the cucumber then, right? Cuke and octopus don't seem like they'd play well together and I really wanna use some cuke, so I may stick with cod anyway and just have an octopus salad on the side.

I'm certainly not Japanese and I'm in no way a weeb, so I'm okay with whatever use you can come up with although the green perilla aren't large enough for KBBQ wraps.

Curses! I was gonna go against my announcements earlier ITT and go the Japanese route, too.

I'm planning to make pressed cod sushi with red and green perilla since perilla plants have taken over my back garden and this gives me an excuse to use them. What else can I use perilla leaves for besides Japanese food? It just grows wild here and in no short supply. It's drowned out my parsley and lovage.

Obviously, I'm not Numbaz, but I'm pretty sure the rules to previous challenges apply to this challenge as well: do what you want and try to justify why it fits into the challenge when you post it. Worst voters can do is give you a zero in the 'goals' rating which, if you ace the other categories, will still put you in the top three if last month's rankings are any indication.

I wouldn't think anyone would get pissy about there the soup is meant to be served at room temperature or at fridge temperature so long as it's not warm/hot. I certainly wouldn't, at least.

Of course, you could always make a sandwich and while that will follow the challenge goals 100%, you'd get a goose egg for originality. See what I mean?

tl;dr, you do you, boo.

How are we meant to pronounce your new incarnation? Newb Oz?

Weird. I changed my trip but it came up as the same one as before. Lemme see how this new one looks.
