After going over to Addison to eat at Buttons last Saturday, I'm hoping to get out there for the Sunday Gospel Jazz Brunch sometime. It was some tasty food and that's gotta be an experience.

BBQ-wise, generally the best in the area is acknowledged to be Pecan Lodge, now over in Deep Ellum. Lockhart Smokehouse in either Plano or the Bishop Arts neighborhood in Dallas are also pretty good. Meshack's in Garland does not have destination worthy brisket, but their ribs are absolutely amazing. To swing a bit more upscale than the above options (especially the literal shack that is Meshack's), Smoke in Dallas does some in house sausages, some fancified BBQ, delicacies like Pimento Cheese Croquettes and a great brunch as well.

Yes, but he can tell the microwave degraded the proteins in proofing bread by sight!

I'm more annoyed by the quirky bespectacled hostess, her schtick gets old quick. There was one moment where she was running around the tent with a mousse and refusing to give it back and it became very uncomfortable after a bit, everyone else was so composed and busy and she was mucking about.
She gets way too into finding silly ways to say bake. I'd assumed the mousse was leftover, but yeah, it was a bit odd. I thought some of the shots of the announcer ladies helping contestants take things out of pans or whatever were interesting. Quite a change from so many cooking contests that seem to want the contestants to fail.

I'm also a huge fan of Mary Berry's Violet Crawley quality, where she's spent so long acting like she's hiding her true feelings that it's become very obvious. Watching her taste a dry sponge cake is the picture of Britain to me. "Oh, it's a bit dry." Yeah, I could tell by the way you twisted your face and smacked your lips a poo poo-ton while feigning detached scrutiny.

Yeah, definitely like Mary.

Throw corn in husks into a very hot oven for like 40 minutes. Then shuck, butter, and salt.

Lipton's soup mix. Not that it would necessarily taste the worst or have the worst mouthfeel or whatever, but in that it is the quintessential illustration of the ~*one weird trick*~ fallacy that characterises so much bad cooking advice.

Like I can get behind the "one weird trick fallacy" but it's really just onions, salt, and MSG. Individually, those aren't bad burger adds.

Is all goat bony? I love it, but I've never had it prepared in a way that wasn't full of little bones.

Disclaimer: the only cuisines from which I've had goat are Indian and Ethiopian. I've never cooked it (or even seen it available for sale) myself.

There's at least one Indian place here that does a boneless goat curry. I don't know if they're picking a different muscle or deboning it or what. The halal butcher seems to only sell bony cubes though.

I used black raspberries. It tasted fine, but I burnt it. The recipe said 45-50 minutes @ 375. I checked it at 45 on the nose and it was slightly burnt on the bottom. Also except for a few spots here and there the dough was all brown.

It could be one of a few things. Maybe I burnt the melted butter a bit? Baking soda? Maybe my over burns hot? Either way next time I'm going to check it at 40 minutes. This was my first attempt at baking. Like, ever other than box brownies.

EDIT: Also I cooked it on the bottom rack instead of the top rack if that matters.

Possibly the baking soda. More alkali things brown faster. I'd wager a combo of that and cooking on the bottom rack.

This is how I enjoy all of my "sandwiches" that might suffer from over-stuffing. Add all ingredients to a plate, take bites in correct proportions. If you want to be fancy, cube up your bread and call it a salad. Whatever you do, don't call it deconstructed unless you have a pencil mustache.

It's a Southern thing too. When my first non-cherry tomato is ready each season, the first thing I do is bake a loaf of fluffy white bread so I can tomato mayo sandwich. I usually just use Duke's mayo

Sad story from this season: we lost a number of our tomatoes waiting for them to ripen, and then realized we had planted a variety that are green. Tomato mayo sandwich happened much later than it could have as a result. gently caress.

What sort of tomatoes?

Former coworker suggested I cook ugali. She said she'd ask her mother fr the recipe but never did. Anyone here ever made some? She's Tanzanian, if it matters.

I've got some okra from the market, so stew with it would be sweet.

I ate some ugali in Kenya, and assuming you just mean the mass of starch itself, I'm not sure it's ever something I'd really make. Maybe it's regional difference or something, but it was pretty much just a big lump of starch for scooping up bits of food or soaking up broth/gravy. As an accompanying staple starch, it wasn't something I'd ever recommend over rice or grits or naan or something of the sort.

I’m watching Jamie Oliver on Jamie’s 15 minute meals from the UK. The British are super bad at making Mexican food. He’s making chili con carne and the recipe is atrocious. He just described corn tortillas as “basically corn on the cob that’s been milled and dried flat”. While I suppose that is technically true it’s just a really weird way to describe corn tortillas. Like, are they really that an unusual ingredient that you guys have to describe them to each other? Also the base of his chili is chickpeas and bell peppers. The amount of cumin he used was just a pinch. Salt and pepper are literally the major seasonings he’s using.
He just finished it with brown rice. There was all of 1/2 red chili in this chili. WTF you people should be ashamed of yourselves. British Empire my rear end.

I mean, he forgot nixtamalization which means any Brits following that recipe will wind up with pellagra.
