Oh boy, here I go cooking again...

It is time to cook up some slop. I might as well document it.

Step one is getting a fire going, while enjoying some coffee.

[Anonymous No.19894829]

While the stove is getting to temp, might as well heat up some water. I will need a large pot of hot water anyways.

[Anonymous No.19894857]

Might as well get the main oven heated up as well, you never know when you might need to dispose of evidence.

My first task of the day... about 1.3 kg of chicken breast (about 2.8 lbs) that I seasoned and bagged last night. I need to get that cooking.

Sometimes it takes a lot to get the fire going. Might need multiple cups of coffee while tending the flame.

Well, it isn't quite up to temp yet, but in they go.

[Anonymous No.19894927]

Task two, meatballs. Again, prepared the dough yesterday. The mixture is intentionally extra soft, because that is how the eaters prefer them. Just a pain to shape them.

[Anonymous No.19894930]

Good enough.

[Anonymous No.19894957]

So, do you take cream in your coffee?
*halfway unzips anticipating an enthusiastic yes*

i will keep an eye on your thread
meat balls are a bit too big though, looks like you will bake them in the oven? you should fry them in a cast iron skillet with 50/50 butter and tallow instead

[Anonymous No.19894965]

most of these pictures would be better if you just stood further back and provided context

a closeup shot a burning wood, a close up shot on an empty pot, a close up shot of fire through a grate, not once, but twice. Etc.

No, but my favorite soup is Cream of Sum Yung Gai

Meanwhile, a mushroom salad with wild mushrooms I hunted down in the fall.

I wanted to them on one sheet so I kept them big, and the mixture is way too wet and soft to fry in a skillet. Also, can not be arsed. Enough to do as it is.

*Wanted for them to fit on a single sheet...

Me good English.

I am quite obviously not putting much effort into taking the photos. I might pause for a second when the food is done to take something decent.

Balls, done.

[Anonymous No.19895033]

They can cool off outside.

Nice, looks like a good feast OP.

[Anonymous No.19895092]

Some carrots and honey.

[Anonymous No.19895100]

A curry sauce.

[Anonymous No.19895109]

Vegetables ready to go into the oven.

[Anonymous No.19895117]

At this stage it is just a stock with spices and stuff.

[Anonymous No.19895155]

A roux for a sauce for my balls.

[Anonymous No.19895179]

Sauce for the balls is done, balls are in the sauce.

Mashed potato is done.

[Anonymous No.19895189]

Chicken has been seared.

[Anonymous No.19895194]

Vegetables are ready.

[Anonymous No.19895205]

Of course, I got the least attractive piece of chicken, but hey, at least it was cooked nicely.

[Anonymous No.19895225]

>>19895205
Turned out great, now I’m hungry.

[Anonymous No.19895360]

Thanks.

[Anonymous No.19895849]

The food went down quite well. For dessert we had a classic strawberry and cream cake.
