Is sous vide scrambled eggs actually a thing? How do you scramble eggs when they're not really moving?

You shake the bag halfway through. They come out quite custardy like the French make scrambled eggs.

You should, they're not difficult although they take a little planning and taste way better than any supermarket or store bagels (unless you live near a proper Jewish bakery of course).

Hey! Me too!

I set out to make chicken and waffles at the lady's request, but our waffle maker is a piece of poo poo and died so I subbed it out for grilled cornbread! Lifehack: its better than loving waffles.



Puddled the chicken at 148* for a few hours in a bag of vinegar, soy sauce, chilies, and garlic, then chilled it, soaked it in buttermilk until dinnertime, and dredged it in a mix of seasoned flour and some ching yeh pork sung "pork floss". I made a sauce with sorghum, lemon juice, fish sauce and serranos to dip the fried chicken in, drizzled honey on the cornbread and some sriracha over the whole drat thing. Garnished with yard onions. It was pretty good.

Trying to work on my Asian inspired soups more, but, I'm having a tough time getting super flavorful broth. Being vegetarian seem to doesn't help much since so many of the recipes I see rely on seafood or pork bases. I think next time I'll try red miso instead of yellow, and actually try making a kombu stock first.



Miso soy broth with soba noodles, kale, baby spinach, soft boiled egg and raw carrots.

I just binged 20 pages of this thread...there is some seriously amazing poo poo in here. Like ambrosia, shakshouka, tabbouleh and steak. And plating, JFC.

Some lasagna in the traditional style. First came the ragu. Sweated onion, garlic, celery and carrots with a bouquet garni, then added meat, sealed to the pan so it would brown and not steam.



Nice and dry and it's ready for a bottle of wine, the roman legionary ration. 750ml







Cook it off, add the tomato paste and passata di pomodoro.



This is handmade passata, pressed from tomatoes from my garden last summer. Beautiful tomatoes so ripe and italian, mwah





Let this poo poo stew for a couple hours and make the lasagna!

This is a picture of me making the pasta. I am very traditional.



I only use Flintstone style mixer! I am a bambino at heart.





















Blanch my babies and get the bechamel working.









Time to layer the goodness...ragu, besciamella, ricotta/moozadel, pasta, ragu, besciamella, ricotta/moozadel, repeat another 8 times or so...





Top with shredded parmesan, bake, and grub down.

I like your style, take a relatively simple dish and build it from the ground up. There's no better way to get -really good- at cooking than to understand how to make your dishes from the scratchiest scratch possible.

Thanks! And yeah, I suppose it is. Bonus!

From what I've read, this isn't traditional miso glazed eggplant. I've only got dark miso (don't remember the name) on hand so I used that, sugar, and a bit of water to make the glaze. Eggplants get cut in half, oiled, and put face down on this lovely non-stick grill pan thing I was given. After a few minutes, they get turned over, add water or stock, cover and turn the heat down. In about 20 minutes they're perfect. Then just spoon the glaze over and throw them under a broiler for a minute or so. Super easy, and WAY tastier than the amount of effort put in.

And there you sat, eating hamburgers while the world cried.
Tackled a crawdad/crawfish boil last night. Still not sure what to make of it. Since we're hicks from the southwest crawdads aren't our typical fare (though I guess our state is lousy with them). The biggest challenge was figuring out how to eat the drat things. I eventually learned my own method:
1). Break the back
2). Twist the tail
3). Suck the meat
4). Open it sidewise like a treasure chest
5). Shovel out the carcass

Still though, I don't think it's for me. It's one of those meals that always looks more appetizing to me than it is. It tasted good and we all ate a lot but there was a lot more left sitting around and we're not too keen on the leftovers. Eating it is more a chore than a luxury at this point. Plus throwing away all that boil liquid felt like such a waste. Still, had a fun time. It was good food and a great experiment.

How much did you cook? That plate sure looks empty, haha. You need to dump that stuff on a table outside and go to town.



You're basically there on how to eat them. Pull the tail off, squeeze the head and suck out the juice (only works if you let them soak long enough). Peel off the first couple of tail segments, pull out the meat with your teeth or hands. Move to the next one. The whole process should take about three seconds.

We cooked about 5lbs. Yeah I ditched the plate almost immediately. After taking the pictures it just looked silly. We ate straight out of the bowl most of the night and we ended up using the plates to hold all the discarded shells. I wish I bought more corn! That was the best part of the meal.

I knew I forgot something! Butter would've improved this immensely. Not sure about the barbecue sauce though. Next time I make this (if I ever make it again) it'll be for an outdoor get-together instead of an indoor TV-tray night
