If you're skinning you should skin before destemming, if not you should halve and then cut out triangles. It saves more tomato

>>9683672
nice coats on them kitties

Got some sourdough bread cold proofing in the fridge. I usually make one loaf, but my boss is on maternity leave and is having a bit of a rough time, so my colleagues have organized a cooking schedule where we’re dropping prepared dishes off at her place. Monday I’m taking eggplant parm and a loaf of bread.

>>9683695
lol m8 it's not cold enough I haven't even put their coats on yet

>>9683701
Trying to get better at breads but I'm having issues like it says knead it and I know add flour but it always sticks to my fingers and the counter shit is mad aggravating

Making pizza dough

>>9683731
what's your recipe for both bread and doughs, OP? i highly recommend the long and slow approach, where you use a small amount of yeast and let it rise a ferment for several hours, instead of stressing about kneading and shit

>>9683547
OP fucks Patti?

>>9683672
Woah. What type of ground is that? What country do you live in?

Pure cringe.

>>9683672
Who' the bluehair? o:

Fried onion on the ground ready for harvest. God bless America.

>>9683731
wheres that pizza at? inquiring minds...

sry me and the homeboi were a bit dickered and the thread got away from me

>>9682725
You're cat looks smug as fuck.

Used some al pastor meat from the market and threw some pineapple and 'penos on that ho

>>9682725
patti u cute as shit

>>9686604
looks appetizing. good job

>>9686593
Oh shit I've had that beer in a steakhouse.

God bless, OP, getting dickered meself. Cheers from the UK, can't get al pastor over here (kill me, my favorite thing)

>>9683701 here, just thought i'd update with the loaves i baked this afternoon

>>9682816
Fukken day late and a dollar short, but when I'm sick I either get some decent hot 'n sour from a good Chinese place or make some split pea and ham soup. You can make it as thin or as thick as you like, the one rule is you have to have a hambone and save some ham to chuck in after the peas are done. If I'm truly sick I just dip some toast in the soup and eat a little of that, but it's got plenty of good for you stuff in there, eat good food and get plenty of sleep and drink lots of water.

>>9686614
TFW you week never get pattis boi pucci

Mate I think my cat wants some of my crisps

bread looking sick bro

>>9687136
damn

my nigg

>>9688239
I’m still working on getting a super open crumb with sourdough levain and partial whole wheat flour. I think I need to extend bulk fermentation another two hours or so. Flavor’s great, but it’s a little dense compared for what I’m going for.

>Starts making dank calzone

Cat shit paws all up in the food area is nasty.

>>9688688
you make your own dough or nah? if you do, what's your recipe?

>>9688725
Yeah, I used the Wolfgang Puck recipe. Food Wishes did a video on it.

Honestly, way too much yeast. Very strong flavor. It raises within the hour though.

>>9688760
that's the tradeoff when using yeast -- time versus flavor. next time, try making a "poolish" for your dough. it takes much more time, but uses a much smaller amount of yeast for a slower rise and more complex flavor. example:

https://www.weekendbakery.com/posts/pizza-dough-with-a-poolish/

>>9688788
Damn, that is exactly what I was looking for and didn't even know it.

Microbatch the yeast step but wait longer?

Perfect.

>>9688803
oh shit my dude, i am so happy to be the person to introduce you to this next level of dough making. please make a post when you try it, i'd love to see your outcome!

i tend to bake only with sourdough in the last few months, but some of the best bread i've made was using the poolish pre-ferment method with regular commercial yeast. pic related, i made a few mini boules using a poolish and i still think about them to this day.

>>9688842
Bread looking dank!

Thanks for the advice. I'll post for sure, but good luck seeing it. I don't tread these waters often.

enjoy the calzone, anon, it looks delicious! i'll keep an eye out for your future post.

Hey OP, my friends and I are gonna be in Houston this weekend for the UFC fights. Would you wanna have a grand ol' time with us and make some tasty ass food?

>>9688992

Sorry, wrestling. Not UFC.

>>9687285
Is patti a male? Cause otherwise patti would have some sort of boi-girl pucci, and that just sounds gay.

>>9683695
lol they eat and dress well

>>9683758
Not sure what you are referring to but I'm in Houston and the flooding recently kind of fucked the already shitty landscaping up a bit, but the area I'm in also just looks like shit

I am flattered desu but I'm working damn near 6-7 days a week for the next few months and also I'm scared

got some chinese buffet while out

I made beef stew tonight.

>3.5 lb eye of round roast, s&p, thyme, sage, covered for 2h at 250.
>rest meat while making veggie stock (onion, celery, carrots, garlic, potatoes, okra, spinach bc too much in fridge, leeks)
>cube roast and sear all sides
>make roux with drippings, add to stock
>cut up red potatoes and carrots
>dump veggies and meat in stock, simmer while cooking brown rice

Seasoned with s&p, cumin, thyme, sage, cayenne, paprika. May post pics when it's done.

>>9692884
Turned out pretty good

>>9693212
looks horrible, honestly
like tough meat and more soup than stew

>>9693212
Looks pretty good m8, wish it was cold here eating stew or chili when it's cold out is comfy af, would prob throw some thick cut onion in there or maybe even corn cuz I'm a freak

>>9693944
Meat wasn't tough at all, but yeah it was way too thin. I fucked up my roux a bit. But it was just a fridge-clearing dinner before grocery shopping tomorrow. I wouldn't mind suggestions on better stew preparation; it's not something I really enjoy, but my family does.

>>9695277
It's just started snowing here and stews, soups, and chili season is about to get under way. Onion sounds great in there, but one of the people I cook for doesn't like them so I try not to do too much. I used to cook mushrooms in everything but now I don't even buy them because he's a picky eater. Corn may be a tasty addition but I think I'd go for a side rather than adding it to the pot.

Thanks for the threads, by the way. I knew it would be here for me to post in.

>>9695509
Cook your meat with your onions and some mushrooms and the longer-cooking veggies like potatoes. The easy way to a thicker stew is to just coat your meat chunks in flour before browning, but I usually go: brown meat chunks, set aside, add onions and mushrooms and a pinch of salt until I get some color on the onions, add my herbs and meat back in, put in a little unsalted chicken stock, and let it go. When everything's tender, make a roux, add some milk to make some kind of bechamel, then add broth from the stew until it's thinner with no lumps, and dump the whole thing into the stew pot. Ends up with a thicker consistency than just flour on the beef, but not full-on gravy.
I also don't put carrots or turnips in my stews, as I like them more savory than sweet, but I've had good results with carrots, turnips, and barley before. A handful of rice'll also add some body. Or orzo!
>>9695550
>doesn't like mushrooms or onions
You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

>>9693212
Oh also, some unflavored gelatin bloomed in some hot broth for ~10 minutes can add a ton of body to a soup you think is feeling thin. Helps the broth cling to the delicious chunks of whatever.

>>9695570
>>9695580
Thank you. I usually do coat my beef chunks in flour, I just couldn't be arsed this time. I like the sound of your procedure and I'll definitely keep it in mind for next time. The gelatin tip is kind of beautiful; I keep picking it up at the store but couldn't come up with enough practical uses to buy it.

>don't need that kind of negativity
Damn straight. But family is family.

>>9695550
Snow sounds cozy I've seen it a few times, this onion situation bothers me I don't think I could handle that more power to you and please post as much as you want :)

>>9695580
this is interesting never thought of using gelatin for anything but passing a drug test

Gonna make another pizza cuz I need it plus I don't want to waste this sauce and stuff

these dates are mainly for normies I'll be fine

No money shot?

I made this gay ass shooter sammich

>>9698382
Always wanted to make one of those, was it decent or just a meme?

>>9698403
Drunk/high as fuck it was amazing. It would have been better if i had warmed it up in some cast iron; to crisp up the bread, it did get a little soggy. I used smoked gouda and provolone for the cheese

think I could cut up some cranberries and leave it in my white rum or would that get some kind of mold cause I think they float

made "fake Asian" as we call it in our house.

>marinade 2lb London broil in cheap Asian chili, teriyaki, and spicy bbq w/ pineapple rings + syrup
>broil it medium rare, boil marinade down to sauce, adding some brown sugar
>jasmine rice + turmeric, s&p, garlic powder and cayenne
>sautée thinly sliced mushroom, carrot, onion, yellow bell pepper, steam broccoli
>shove into sauce

Fridge cleaning meals, man. Delicious.

>>9704257
>meat

Getting dickered on homemade gin & tonic and made some mincemeat pies since feelin' a bit like Christmas today

I try to avoid those ham steaks in the OP, personally. They just taste way too salty.

>>9704984
never seen any ham without serious amount of salt

made some low noise finger food to eat while I catch up on my stories

Drinking some homebrew cider and made some noodles and company copycat because I missed it

>>9707491
Catching up on robot wars myself

>>9707501
Turned out pretty fucking good

>>9682725
Plenty of boiled eggs and and pot of green tea.
I fucking love boiled eggs so much, would happily eat for breakfast and dinner each day if not for the ghastly smell that seeps out my chocolate starfish.

>>9707832
So stop eating chocolate starfish.

>>9699279
For a second I thought the bottle on the left was habu sake.

I think chopping meat while drinking a cold light beer might be the ultimate form of meditation

>>9701311
It's an iPhone 4 thank you very much

>>9704968
Those look delicious. Recipe?

>>9710698
i agree also im still trying to git gud at breaking chicken down its easier than i thought originally but theres def some skill to learning chickin anatomy

my first attempt at chicken stock or broth or whatever, dont have anything fancy so just simmerin the carcass with some salt and i expect this is a thing people do

>>9710771
I made some for the first time not too long ago. Make sure you go long enough that the bones snap like twigs so you've gotten all that good ol' collagen out.

And next time you should really use herbs and mire poix; gives it a better balance of flavor.

Stock is great to make at home. I hope it turns out delicious.

>>9710777
checked m8, yeah im really just experimenting since its convenient, i dont even know what imma use it for, if it ends up smellin potent ill find a recipe for it later i have like 4 carcasses in the freezer to do a proper batch later


so makin some fried chicken, getting my usual marinade redy but in my quest to actually make spicy chicken, not just spicy breading or sauce, i might be about to frig it up

in that little container is some mad dog .357 hot sauce, pulled a sneakyboi move at firehouse subs, if you watch Hot Ones youll recognize it and i confirm, shit is not kidding around

>>9710809
Make risotto with it, man.

>>9682725
i love these threads anon. please give your cat a boop on the nose for me

decided to let that chicken marinate for 24 hours, i saw this on dd&d with muh boy Guy F and im pretty sure its the scenic route to flavortown

made some bacon egg tacos and theres the stock

Cats are filthy animals that walk in their own shit and piss and then try to dig that shit and piss into your leg under the facade that they're cute and love you. Fuck I hate cats and anybody with a litter box, unless you clean it within 5 minutes of the scumbag taking a shit your house smells worse than a public bathroom. Lazy unloyal pieces of shit that wouldn't have your back if someone was murdering you in your sleep. But will kill smaller animals babies for fun. All cats go to hell. FUCK YOU!

>>9715017

ive seen you use buttermilk before

>>9715039
desu im still trying to find my fav recipe still but i am rarely satisfied, i use buttermilk, an egg, some kind of pickle juice and some hot sauce, I also salt the chicken and let it sit 15 minutes b4 marinade if i have the patience

i think this batch is gonna be good or so spicy its inedible life is a mystery

m8 that sounds like a lot of work me and patti are extremely busy, well mull it over

im very satisfied so far with this double dredge seein' as dickered, also didnt make a huge ass mess 8/8

well my plan was to do hot chicken and waffles but lol no eggs, hade to change it up a bit makin some mash and packet gravy

im doing a shallow fry this time cuz chef john is not some noob

chef john method is def superior but it takes more effort and like 2 extra beers

ok this was a success, had a nice kick actually in the meat, I have some stuff to do tomorrow including breweries and food and thats in like 3 hours, toodles

>>9715422

>>9717407
not sure why that was so blurry

>>9695876

What dough recipe you using OP? I still see you haven't just bought a big jar of instant yeast, it costs less in long run. I got a bag of dough (not even sealed) at the italian market today. Better than anything I've made lately.

>>9683701
that's nice of you, good job

>>9715017
thai curry with coconut milk and chicken

sautee garlic onions and curry paste and ginger and chilis and whatever other spices u fancy in oil/lard/ghee until they are fragrant, then throw in yr pumpkin chunks until they start to soften up, then the chicken til it gets white, then pour in that coconut milk, add a lil fish sauce to the broth for complexity, let it simmer a while, season to taste w/salt pepper, serve over rice

>>9707507
looks really good how did you make the sauce?

>>9682725

Passed out right after dinner last night because I'm working 7 days a week, but wanted to post this.

>marinade pork chops in cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, honey, oil, s&p, Dijon mustard
>apple compote (fuji, honey crisp, granny smith) w/ orange juice, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, pinch of asian 5 spice, add pomegranate at the end
>char tf out of some Brussels sprouts in butter
>bake yams at 450 for 50 mins, mash with milk, butter, little cream cheese

Turned out really good except I used too much liquid in the compote and it wasn't syrupy enough.

>>9719301
hope it works out OP

for me, it's the chicken permission
