April 14, 20205 yr Popular Post Haven't posted in here in a bit. Been busy cooking like crazy during the pandemic and expanding my skill set. Read the Noma book on fermentation so made some kraut and kimchi. Working on black garlic and looking to dive into vinegars and garum. But I was gifted some pork trotters at the farmers market so had to make some tonkotsu ramen. Luckily I had most everything required for it in stock to go all in on it. See hand saw? Yeah, 4 of these legs had to be cut up. My jerking arm is still sore. But anyways, boiled these for 20 hours with garlic, mushrooms, leeks, ginger, onion, chicken bones, some pork belly until the broth was thick and milky (heh). Didn't have noodles so decided to make some. Never made pasta but thought I'd give it a shot. They actually turned out better than expected and ready to make more for stir frys. I had some more pork belly so made pork chashu Marinated some eggs in the left over chashu liquid, threw some mushrooms, kimchi, green onion, garlic, and bok choy and came out with this: Overall very happy with it. Other shit I've made lately: Cheeze-its, cause why the fuck not? Jerk chicken with coconut rice and black beans Pork, sage, and broccoli rabe pasta Pork tenderloin wrapped in ham and stuffed with kale, pecans, garlic and rosemary Edited April 14, 20205 yr by SmokeyTheBear

I’m sure it’s low brow for some, but it works for them. I used their Montreal Steak Seasoning on the cauliflower just for the record. Edited April 14, 20205 yr by Brew

April 14, 20205 yr damn. i would kill for a week of mini ham sandwiches on King's Hawaiian from the leftover holiday ham. and then the beans and rice from the hambone. props.Made a ham myself at Easter. And I’m not ashamed to say that the hambone beans later this week are my favorite part of the whole deal.

April 14, 20205 yr I got two fully cooked vacuum sealed chickens thawing out in the refrigerator, got the from a local BBQ place a while back that was selling their extras in the evening cheap. I want to use the sous vide to reheat them but I am unsure what temp to use. I hear 140 a lot around here, but is that too high?

Either the corona is getting to me or it’s getting to you...or both.
April 16, 20205 yr Did you let them sit in buttermilk beforehand? I always make a mixture of buttermilk and seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne) and let them sit overnight but I'm not sure if it does anything significant, just do it because that's the way I was taught Doesn’t chik fil a use pickle juice to brine?

April 17, 20205 yr Check Out This Fucking Club Sandwich: Side of jalapeño ranch. Should have doubled the meat and cheese...lil too bready. Not bad though. Nice to have something a little different. Struggling to come up with more than just leftovers for lunch right now.

April 18, 20205 yr Had a burger craving so made some jalapeño juicy Lucy burgers on the grill, with smoked Gouda and sharp cheddar. I’ve found a light sprinkling of crushed ritz crackers helps hold the cheese juice inside. They were pretty tasty.
April 18, 20205 yr Keep getting emails from Doris Metropolitan. Their bread service is amazing and they sent one out a few days ago for fresh challah. Couldn’t resist, so made some nutella stuffed Challah French toast (and some non-stuffed ones too for balance). Turned out absolutely amazing and the kids loved it. stuffed ones are double thickness and in foreground. Nonstuffed smaller thickness and in background Edited April 18, 20205 yr by Fat Bastard
April 18, 20205 yr That looks fantastic. In my area of town there is a shortage of decent bread for French toast.
April 18, 20205 yr Pop and i made 15 lbs of boudin today. Looks awesome. I wish I had the Nick’s recipe, and I’d probably make it by the ton.

Recipe not showing up.
April 18, 20205 yr Recipe not showing up. 8 lb pork roast2 lbs poring or calf liver...here’s where i deviate: i use chicken liver instead of pig of calf. 3 large sweet yellow onion, chopped4 bunches green onion, chopped6 large cloves of garlic, mincedsalt Chachere’s or your Cajun seasoning of choiceblack pepperwhite pepperCayenne pepper8-10 cups of cooked long grain rice1/2 lb of casingscut the pork roast up in chunks, boil until barely done. after that, add the chicken livers, yellow onions and 3 bunches of green onions to the same water and boil until done. reserve the water. grind the meat and liver with the onions together, not too fine as you don’t want a paste but neither too coarse as you still have to stuff it. Put grind in large roaster, place back on stove top, and add the remaining green onions and parsley and rice all the while seasoning to taste and adding the liquid your reserved until it’s the right consistency. as far as what’s the right consistency, you’ll have to figure that out on your own...not too wet but not too dry either. it really is a “feel” thing. let cool to room temp and then get your ass busy stuffing that mix into casings. when finished, put the boudin in a pot of barely simmering salted water....about 180 sets...for 20 mins. after that, you’re done. you’re welcome.
April 18, 20205 yr Very nice. Rough approximations of seasons quantity?swear to god, to taste. of course cook your rice in saltwater, but everything else is seasoning free until it’s time to mix. so add, check consistency, taste, add, taste, check consistency, etc. all the rice and meat will gradually soak up the seasoning as you mix, so you’ll have to do it repeatedly. you can always add but you can’t take away once added.... which you all well-know.
