Hah thanks, yeah that's actually where the AIDS comment came from... I think the food editor there follows my blog. She's posted a few things of mine, including this, yesterday:

It's delicious, despite what many people on their FB seem to think :argh: (gently caress, I need to be a whole lot better about handling internet hate, haha. I think I'm probably 100% too defensive, and take things 100% too seriously. First step is admitting it?)

I also made this:

It's my take on the Belgian carbonade flamande (with pumpkin porter and butternut squash). I fried the fries in a mixture of duck fat and veg oil, though I would have used all of the former if I had it.

And I made these last-minute zombie cookie for Halloween. I found the knives and eyes at the grocery store. The base is green velvet, then I made some quick royal icing.

I've owned a mini deep fryer for like 7 years, and never once used it (no real reason why other than I own too many appliances and forget)...just used pot + thermometer, but HOOOOLY crap the mini deep fryer is the best thing ever: no fiddling with burners for oil temp regulation, you can fry more at once, it's adorable, less oil splatter (like none...), and just crazy easy to use.

Point is, I have no room for it either, but it's awesome and I would recommend, so doooo it. Peer pressure!

At what temperature did you roast these at to get them like that after 40 minutes? I had them at 150C and came back after half an hour to find they were probably over done with a couple that were burnt

My attempt at Ramen. Broth a little thick for sure, but drat it was quite tasty.


Blurry, but pork belly, a piggy leg, leeks, and green onions from the local asian market.

Boiled all that poo poo, plus some ginger, garlic, onions (god I hate onion, but there are few things I'll use them in) etc. for some time.


Ready to go. Mine is the one without the green onions (oh yeah, I hate them)


And here it is. Homemade noodles as well. Like I said, too thick of a broth, but it really was quite good. Astringent is the word that comes to mind? Probably just too sodiemy. (ignore my filthy floor, we're filthy.)


Pretty sure I'll buy noodles next time. They were good, but not what I was looking for.

Amazing... Do you have a recipe?

4 ounces vegetable oil
4 ounces all-purpose flour
2 lb chicken bits
2 quarts water or stock
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced green peppers
4 minced garlic cloves
1 cup peeled, seeded and chopped tomato
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 bay leaves
1 pound andouille sausage, cut into 1/4-inch pieces and browned
1 tablespoon file powder or 1/2 lb okra, sliced

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the vegetable oil and flour into a 5 to 6-quart cast iron Dutch oven and whisk together to combine. Place on the middle shelf of the oven, uncovered, and bake for 1 1/2 hours, whisking 2 to 3 times throughout the cooking process. (Or cook on the stove, whichever way you prefer)

Once the roux is done, carefully remove it from the oven and set over medium-high heat. Gently add the onions, celery, green peppers and garlic and cook, moving constantly for 7 to 8 minutes or until the onions begin to turn translucent.

Add the tomatoes, salt, black pepper, thyme, cayenne pepper, and bay leaves and stir to combine. Gradually add the stock while whisking continually and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken and decrease the heat to low, cover and cook for 35 minutes. Pull the chicken, cool and shred.

Add the okra if using when the broth comes to a simmer or later in the cooking process depending how you like your okra.

When thickened to the consistency you like, turn off the heat, add the chicken and sausage and stir to combine. Add the file powder if using while stirring constantly. Cover and allow to sit for 10 minutes prior to serving. Serve over rice.

It works great if you have extra time. There's also a microwave method out there that works pretty well, I hear.

Ultra-quick and easy and the salsa is heavenly (used all the leftovers the next day with chicken instead of the shrimp) :taco:

When I tried it I went at...about 170C I think? And 40 minutes was just perfect - crisping but no burning - they looked pretty much like OP's. You got a crazy over-hot oven? :iiam:

My mom does the oven and sometimes microwave method, I like the stovetop method. I don't find that either really affects the flavor in the end though other than the flour / oil used.

I'm not part of the "OMG BACON IS LIFE!!!111" crew, but you are absolutely right about the bacon fat being the key - it was all I could do to not keep picking at the filling as I was assembling. I have a friend with whom I back and forth recipes and she liked the look of this one - I got a slew of messages the next day including "15 PIEROGIS MY rear end! I'M GOING TO BE HERE UNTIL THURSDAY MAKING THESE!" and "jesus this is torture" :laugh:. I DID warn her (haven't heard her count yet - I ended up with about 40)!

Smitten Kitchen posted:


Butter or nonstick spray, for greasing pan
6 large, tart apples, such as Granny Smiths
3 large eggs
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
Ground cinnamon, to finish
Powdered sugar, also to finish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Butter the paper and the sides of the pan. Peel, halve and core your apples, then chop them into medium-sized chunks. (I cut each half into four “strips” then sliced them fairly thinly — about 1/4-inch — in the other direction.) Pile the cut apples directly in the prepared pan. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer or whisk, beat eggs with sugar until thick and ribbons form on the surface of the beaten eggs. Beat in vanilla, then stir in flour with a spoon until just combined. The batter will be very thick.

Pour over apples in pan, using a spoon or spatula to spread the batter so that it covers all exposed apples. (Updated to clarify: Spread the batter and press it down into the apple pile. The top of the batter should end up level with the top of the apples.) Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a tester comes out free of batter. Cool in pan for 10 minutes on rack, then flip out onto another rack, peel off the parchment paper, and flip it back onto a serving platter. Dust lightly with ground cinnamon.

Serve warm or cooled, dusted with powdered sugar. Alex’s family eats it plain, but imagine it would be delicious with a dollop of barely sweetened whipped or sour cream.


I ended up using like 8 apples, cooking it for like 75 minutes, and mixing the batter through a bit more thoroughly.

I made California maki rolls!



These are actually my second batch of sushi rolls ever, my first were earlier today (spam musubi rolls, also awesome). Why did nobody tell me making maki rolls is hideously easy? It's probably more annoying to make hamburgers for dinner. Now to hone my technique (lesson #1: wait for the rice to cool or you burn your hands and get ugly misshapen lumpy rolls).

Yup, grocery store sushi is INedible (except for the one big chain grocery store around here that has a bunch of japanese folders on display making the stuff and that tosses everything that doesn't get sold before the day is over...I'm not kidding...but they are waaaay overpriced)
And yes, the maki thing is easier than expected,

Your sushi look great, btw, lovely filling to rice ratio...maybe sharpen your knife before cutting next time? (although the tearing might be caused by your rice being too warm...oh well, that's not a taste thing anyway, sushi on young grasshopper! :-P
