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

Ha. Phone posting and missed that.

Yeah, the sauce separated out and got weird. I don't know what I may have done, I followed the SE recipe as close as I could. It was a year ago and i thought that maybe thats just The Way It Is Supposed To Be. I am willing to try it again though because it should be delicious. I used parmesiano reggiano cheese, heavy cream, all the good stuff. I wonder if doing it in the thin aluminum service pans could have ruined it :shrug:

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.

What about beef on toast with melted muenster screams "overpowering flavors"? I'm certainly not trying to poo poo on your post (since I'd happily eat the hell out of all of that), I'm simply curious.

soup recipe? my friend just moved to DC and she's working at williams-sonoma while she's getting her interpreter's licensing done; they had a 40% sale off on some kitchen appliances on top of the employee discount so she got a vitamix 750 for just over $300 :captainpop: i'm super jealous and trying to give her as many good soup recipes as I can find. i'm also saving up to give her the money so she can buy the entire all-clad copper core line for me and save me over a thousand bucks on my dream purchase :v:

Peel, dice and roast squash with some oil under foil for 30 mins then uncovered for 15 til soft and caramelizing. Roast a head of garlic at the same time. While that's going on boil a cup of red lentils in plenty of water with a sprig of thyme and some chilli flakes. When squash is done, combine everything and blend.

If you want the greatest soup though, you gotta make gypsy soup from moosewood.

Ah, more the whole thing, beef and melted cheese was pretty oily and the munster had more sharpness to it than expected for some reason. Also the tomato soup was very very garlic heavy and had a strong tang from the tomatoes as well. It wasn't like a spicy thing but the flavors across the board weren't subtle at all.

Had our work's version of secret Santa this week. My Santee is really into caramel, so I made some with Italian lime juice and mediterranean sea salt. It didn't quite have enough tooth to it to be happy giving it away by itself, so I made a batch of brown-butter dough and made lime caramel stuffed brown-butter cookies. She loved them. :D





Sorry about the poo poo photography, but the one cookie I had before giving the rest away was delicious, so I wanted to post.

Okay, it might not look that great, but I was pretty happy with my bo ssam spread last night, and so were the stoners who rapidly closed in and gobbled it up as I was trying to snap a better picture.



Lessons learned: I am incapable of cooking tofu without gluing it to the pan, and I can't turn the oven on above 450 without setting off the fire alarms (should probably clean the oven).

My mom's consistently look that gooey and she's been making them for thirty years. She mixes chocolate chips into the batter though. Those look great; were the tops crispy-ish?

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*
Also I'm stealing this tonight.

It's just fantastic. The only thing preventing me from doing it more is I want to use tasty expensive cheeses and it's also quite unhealthy :btroll:

Noob question but my modernist cheese sauce always comes out so thin that it just sits at the bottom of the serving dish rather than being this luxurious cheesy sauce that coats the pasta. What am I doing wrong?

Logic tells me that I should probably use less water but how come everybody else seems to get great results with the standard recipe? I'm still a novice in the kitchen so tend to stick religiously to the measurements in the recipes as I don't have the confidence yet to gently caress about with things through fear of ruining the dish.

Just add more cheese. It gets thicker the more cheese you add. I make the queso sauce (same stuff), and I like it thicker than what the recipe calls for, so I just add more until I like the consistency.

Here is a pretty great article for smashed burgers. I love serious eats so much.

I made this the other day and didn't capture any pictures because it was so goddamned DELICIOUS that I couldn't help but devour it immediately. Coupled it with caramelized onions, mushrooms, jalapenos, mayo/Sriracha, a slice of Swiss cheese under a grill-panned bun, and homemade fries (Gordan Ramsay's recipe, etc.). I literally have no desire to eat another restaurant-made burger (fast food or otherwise) for the rest of my life.
