Oh hello new thread. Lots of lovely looking stuff in here already :)

I can help change that...

A few things from the past few days:

Had a crack at the budgetbytes Teriyaki Salmon with Sriracha Mayo as a friend had said it was excellent. I doubt her proportions somewhat as her pictures look more like a dry rub than the mountains of sticky sauce you end up with if you follow it (that is not a bad thing though).



Was really delicious with a bit of mushroomy basmati and salad. Apologies for the mayo looking like melted American cheese; artificial light strikes again!

Had a surfeit of good homegrown leeks so, alongside making a leek and tater soup for the soup thread (and somewhat inspired by whole braised leeks that cropped up recently on here), I did these whole-ish ones wrapped in good ham in a crème fraîche/parmesan sauce and breadcrumbed a little. Not going to win any plating awards but a really good combo and the leeks were tender as hell.



And finally I had a few things to use up so made some three cheese (sharp cheddar, feta, parmesan) and cress muffins with a little English mustard in the mix. They're sort of like the bastard child of a muffin, a cupcake and a cheese scone and are so good warmed with nothing on at all (although they'd probably be great buttered too).

I agree with the above, these two are really quite interesting.

Really bad picture (taken at 6am this morning, plate on my leg), but I did two things for the first time!

1) Roasted brussel sprouts (taken from sharkattack's blog http://www.spachethespatula.com/simply-roasted-brussels-sprouts/)

2) Poached eggs! I love poached eggs but have never made them.

Was salty and delicious and gooey and warm, I need a better spoon to get the eggs out, but will perfect my eggs soon! Good low carb breakfast since I can't eat toast with my eggs. :)

Pro-tip for making pretty poached eggs (if you care about that). Put the eggs in a strainer with not too fine a mesh and the outer part of the white, the one that makes all the traily scraggly bits, will fall through but leave the rest and you'll get a perfectly round poached egg.

My two patty smash burger didn't get as smashed as I wanted, but it was still an incredible burger.



I cook a lot of burgers, rarely the smash variety. Main flaw with this run was not greasing up my metal spatula.

I actually just made those, last night. Went with a combo of cheddar and american slices with homemade pickles, red onion, sautéed mushrooms, and a smear of sriracha on the bun.


They didn't last long enough to get photos. I still have a way to go because I'm not getting nearly enough crust in the short allocation of time even with a screaming hot stainless pan

Yeah, I based some of my inadequate actions on that recipe.

I used twice the meat and twice the manliness. But half of the, "make sure the spatula is greased."

Egg noodles are surprisingly little effort. If you still have some stock left you should give it a try.

Oxtail helper. Braised some oxtails with very little liquid which was later added to a cheddar mornay sauce with some paprika, chili powder, freshly grated garlic paste, and a little hit of Tabasco. I need to add a sharper cheese next time though, it was not the ultra-cheesy thing I was quite looking for.

this is Extremely My poo poo. i know what i'm making over christmas break.

here's a few thanksgiving photos, not great pics since I was doing 90% of the cooking and the immediate family was all packed into my tiny apartment for the sake of convenience (big football game that saturday)

basic sage + sausage dressing. sausage was a mix of pork along with some moose and caribou my sister shot a couple weeks ago. the game flavors did a really nice job of balancing the "normal" flavor dressing.



hasselback gratin like everyone else this year. in addition to the gruyere i subbed incanestrato for parm regg, it was fantastic. i ran out of russets because I severely underestimated how much I'd need so half of one row was yukon gold. totally different texture but I almost preferred them, they did a lot better job holding onto the sauce when stacking them somehow. next time I should try to really dry the russet slices and see if I can't get them to retain more in each crack.



spatchcocked turkey. turned out perfect and juicy (came from a trusted source so i only cooked it to a breast temp of 140º :ssh: compound butter of garlic, scallions, and thyme under the skin



gravy with the turkey drippings




and here's a pumpkin pie. same one I made for thanksgiving but this was yesterday for a date. final presentation had it topped with whipped cream, a bourbon caramel sauce, and chopped candied pecans. my lighting is poo poo but the crust is browned and not anywhere near as black as it looks on the edges.

Death to the Seahawks. Death to Seahawks posters.
you wrote your question inside my quote; it took me a minute to figure out you weren't just empty quoting me :v: anyway I'm really not sure since I haven't had that problem. are you sure you followed all the steps correctly, whisked it together extremely thoroughly, had the right measurements, etc? did you try to sub a different kind of cheese? if you don't have a good creamy cheese or if you're using lower fat cream if might not work properly, maybe it cooked too hot or there was something acidic? just for clarification, when you say it broke, do you mean the grease separated and floated on top and it got grainy? it's a cheesy cream sauce, it should be almost infinitely forgiving so i can't really imagine how that would happen. I'm sure someone else here can venture a better guess than me

I'm loving all these hearty looking dishes - maybe because it's so drat cold and dark here at the moment. Your cobbled-together cobbler looks and sounds absolutely delicious.

Something trivial for me. A friend was raving about trying some method for making oven fries/chips. I've never owned a deep fat fryer and years of childhood PSAs have made me a total chicken about pan and basket (apparently you so much as look at them and the kitchen burns down).

It is hardly a method at all it's so stupidly simple. Oven to highest, cut spuds (desirée ideally), blanch in boiling water for 3 mins, drain, toss in groundnut oil in a roasting tin until evenly coated, season, bake for 15-20 mins, turning a few times. And they are so drat good - crispy on the outside and fluffy in. Why the gently caress have I been eating lovely frozen oven chips all my life? Why did nobody tell me it was this easy? I feel so foolish...




(please ignore sacrilegious scampi bites in background ;))

Turns out the method was apparently via Gordon Ramsay. So looks like he's perfected the humble chip much like he did with his own superior method for scrambled eggs :can: *bolts*

Leftover sous vide round steak cuts on toast briefly grilled with a bit of munster on top. Also a heavy tomato soup, thickened a bit with a baked yam for sweetness and some heft, wanted something pretty filling with a lot of overpowering flavors on an extremely cold day.
