Got drunk last night and did the prep for kabocha and apple soup to throw in the slow cooker this morning. Then today my roommate made some sesame challah to soak it up.

I used a leftover galette crust. 1 stick butter, 1.25 cups flour, 1/4 cup water is my usual galette dough.

This was my starter shakshuka. It's simpler than Kenji's but still got me hooked.

E: I guess the olives and feta are optional in Kenji's, so they're pretty similar. Don't skip that fresh herb though.

I put tons of fresh cilantro in my shakshuka when I eat it. Parsley is good too but cilantro's where it's at.

I also like to mix up my veggies. I always use peppers, but I've tried squash and zucchini, which were excellent, as well as mushrooms. The mushrooms were different, but still good.

It's basically just a tomato-based vegetable stew, so feel free to go crazy with your modifications.

Definitely not the prettiest thing in the world: spicy peanut soup with kale and red onion, with a ton of berbere, garlic, and ginger



Salmon w/ crispy skin over soba noodles with cucumber, eggplant, and gochujiang

Also made a huge pot of chicken soup yesterday. Just a whole chicken, veggies, water, salt & pepper. Forgot to take a picture. We love soup in this house.

This is some real good stuff by the way, made it a few times now for me and the wife. Definitely a good call to pour the soup over the noodles, for us the recipe makes about 4 servings so we get 2+ meals out of it.

I tried a couple of other adjustments for my own taste as well:
- Whatever brand of Vermicelli noodles it was I managed to find here was awful, tasted like chalk, so I ended up trying it with Yakisoba noodles instead. Worked perfectly fine, with I could find some fresh Ramen noodles to try though.

- After bringing the soup to a boil, I like to poach a few eggs in there along with it. Much less work than trying to peel hard/soft boiled eggs :v:

Isn't skate one of those things you need to soak to get the urea out of?

No.

quote:

The fish store their nontoxic waste (urea) in their tissues, as do sharks. Whether the skate is a “targeted” catch or an accidental bycatch, the skin-on wings are quickly cut off, rinsed and stored onboard, on ice, at 40 degrees or less, he says. They may be held that way for three days or so: “We unload skin-on wings from the vessels, and they are fine.” Any ammonia smell is the result of inferior, improper handling, he suspects, such as when the skate has not been bled properly, because that draining blood will carry with it most of the urea. Some folks say soaking skate in buttermilk will get rid of an ammonia aroma and any off-taste, but experts do not recommend it.

And then this serious eats article doesn't mention anything about soaking etc.

It's been a while since I was masturbated at.

Skate does taste similar to scallop, but it has a very distinct flesh, kind of noodle like, utterly different to a scallop. Monk fish was used in the UK as fake Scampi as it had a similar flavour so I'd not be surprised if it was used to fake scallops.

Never had to soak it, just remove membrane and trim it up. Never found it to have a urea taste.

I use a skin on pork shoulder, makes the sauce nice and gelatinous. Sear it off, use the resulting fat to colour up carrots, shallots, fennel, leek and celery. I also added some trotter bits because I had them. De-glaze with dry cider (alcoholic, of course). Add fennel fronds, parsley, thyme, bay leaves and a generous amount of pepper. Use enough cider to cover the pork to begin with and gently simmer for about three hours until it temps at about 140f/60c. Pull out the meat and let it rest. Remove the herbs. Slice and serve with mashed potato, champ, rutabega, something to soak up juices and the braising liquid along with the braising veg. Green cabbage goes well too.

I might try this but with removing the fat cap at some point to try and crisp it up separately. Seems like such a waste not to try and make crackling out of it.

Do you think mixing in some corn starch to the braising liquid when serving could work?

Speaking from experience keto is more effective and better for you if you eat some vegetables too. Helps with the pooping too. Do you get your dense greens in when not drunkenly craving?
