I was trying to roleblock you from doing whatever it was you were going to do to me, the curing salt is a spice steal and I thought for good measure why not steal one of your spices. Turns out I knocked myself out? My graverob also failed.

I won't have a lot of time for cooking in the next few days, going out of town for my birthday but hopefully I'll still be alive to do stuff next week. I could cook at my mom's house but we just go to restaurants endlessly, it's rather nice.

##vote Obama Not scum hunting. Came in today to try to get in front of the issue of me saying he's scum by instead saying I'm scum. His justification for voting me takes into account absolutely nothing about the context of my Shell case. For example, Akay was likely going to be the elimination when I cased Shell. Akay flipped town. If I'm scum, what the hell was I doing? I'm not unvoting Obama.

Maer: grand clarified, I should have seen my spice blend that I used on OA as well. I'm probably fine voting Obama. It's why I targeted him last night. I'll be honest and just apologize though, I've been dead sick since last thursday and have not really been paying attention to the game. Even hal had to point out to me in masonry that meen claimed the doomed thing when I was like "wait, if you saw opop target meen why wouldn't that have been opop killing meen?" I'm going to sleep today as much as I can, and tomorrow I will look at things for real while I pretend to work (I've billed like 10 hours this week in total so just going to write the whole week off).

So I finally got around to making Cornish pasties. First time doing them and I’m not great with pastry. All the recipes I looked at included making the dough yourself but I don’t have 3 hours to wait for dough to chill so I just bought pre-rolled stuff. Recipe is fairly simple. Dice everything up into small cubes and mix it all together.  Make sure you season with plenty of salt and pepper. Mine needed more salt even after I added two large pinches.  Cut the dough into a circle using a side plate as a template. Fill with pasty mix.  Fold over and press down edges. I used a bit of egg wash to help seal it all.  Probably the hardest bit. Crimp the edges over to stop the juices escaping as it cooks. Also looks pretty if done right. Brush some egg wash over the whole pasty. Cook for 15 minutes 180c and then down to 140c for a further 45 minutes and it should be nicely browned and cooked though.  I was a bit too scared of the pastry tearing so probably could get more filling in there. Also my crimping is much to be desired. Had a fair amount of leakage.  Overall tasted pretty good, could have definitely used more salt though. I made 6 more of these which I’ve placed uncooked in the freezer. I’m praying they will be cookable from frozen.

 Cornish pastries! I was wondering if you'd get around to making them, happy to see you finally decided, lol. Those do look awesome and I bet they are tasty as hell. The leaky stuff could probably be scraped - that always happens, unless you're using a very dry filling, which meat and vegetables definitely aren't. I notice you didn't poke the dough a bit with a fork? I always do that so hot air can escape while cooking, seems to help with leaking - less pressure inside, less risk of seams opening. But then again I've never done those, either. Also, they should be good with freezing I think. Not familiar with the dough, but otherwise everything seems OK. Good job!

The important question here is are Bao hand pies? I lean pretty heavily yes. But who is to tell? The soft, bouncy, chewy, Q texture isn't normally indicative of hand pies, but they are a bready exterior with a sweet or savory filling.

Ok, I don't think this qualifies as anything, but my daughter really likes this dish. It is merk's lemon garlic parmesan SUPER DUPER HEALTHY pasta. I may have used this in a previous Cookfia, but who knows! Ingredients: 12oz linguine or fettucine. With how much cheese and butter go into this thing, you want a solid pasta here. I one time used bow ties and it wasn't great - the cheese did not stick to the bow ties very well. 1.25lbs shrimp deveined, no tails, you know how to do it a whole stick of butter 5 garlic cloves, super minced (more below) red pepper flakes salt and pepper italian seasoning small block of parmesan cheese, freshly shredded 1 lemon Instructions generally: 1. Cook the pasta al dente 2. While the pasta is cooking: wash your shrimp, chop up your garlic SUPER FINE. The garlic is going straight into the dish, so it needs to be chopped very fine. My wife complained about a large garlic piece just two weeks ago! Don't let this be you! 3. Once the pasta is cooked, take it out and set aside. 4. In the same bowl, heat oil and half of the stick of butter. 5. Once the butter melts, throw in all of the garlic and the red pepper flakes. 6. After one minute (or less, don't burn the garlic you fool), throw in your shrimp and a ton of italian seasoning. Start madly stirring. 7. Once the shrimp turns pink, throw in your parmesan cheese, remaining butter, and the pasta. Again, stir madly. 8. FOR THE KID: take out a couple pieces of shrimp and chop it up finely. Do this before you do the lemon squeeze because the less lemon the better for the kid. 9. Squeeze a lemon over the dish. 10. Shut your garbage can. 11. Serve.        https://i.imgur.com/oDhXx0j.mp4    https://i.imgur.com/6QIY7JG.mp4     For the adults: 1. Put the food into a bowl. 2. Add the secret ingredient. 3. Pair with chardonnay.

I made Bao for dinner! Thanks Iggy for giving me something new to try my hand at. I went with a Chinese style bbq chicken. I've never made a Chinese style bbq before, hell, I've never made a bbq that wasn't tomato based. So this was interesting. I also decided to make this fully a pantry raid, so it was what I had on hand. Wish I hadn't used the last of my Chinese 5-Spice last month, or at least wish I had actively replaced it, but whatever, I made it work.  The big flavors in the sauce were garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame seeds, rice vinegar, cloves and miso. There are some bonito flakes in there too to bump up the umami. First I cooked off the cloves and sesame seeds in some oil, getting them toasted, then adding the garlic as well.  Then pretty much everything else except the miso goes in. Let it cook down a bit, then add the miso and let it reduce some more. You are looking for a coat the back of a spoon consistency. Add salt/red pepper to taste here.  Throw a bunch of chicken parts in a crock pot. I usually go with thighs which are objectively the best chicken part, but there was a deal on legs this week, so I got them instead. Leg/thigh quarters are good too when you can get them. Then cover with your bbq.   You are going to let this go on low for like 6-8 hours. When I wasn't work from home, I would just throw it in the crock pot when I left for work, and when I got home it was pull apart goodness. It's harder now that I work from home and smell it cooking all goddamn day long. While that goes you have plenty of time to play with the dough. I used this recipe And got this.  Then let it rise for 2 hours, it got real big, but I didn't get pics of that bit. But back to the chicken. It's been 6 hours give or take.  Remove chicken from bone, save the bones, make stock with them later.   Rough chop the chicken, take the sauce from the bottom of the crock pot and reduce the poo poo out of it. Add some wine too if you want, you'll just have to reduce it more.   Toss your chicken in your sauce. Filling sorted.  Back to the buns. Cut some parchment squares.  Roll out the dough into a log.  Divide into 8 pieces, keep the pieces under a damp towel so to not let them dry out as you roll it out and fill it, then move onto the next one.      Know your steaming setup sucks, so improvise. Fill a large pot with a few inches of water, throw some ramekins down there for some height.  Rest a way too short steamer basket precariously perched on top.  Put the like 4 bao evenly on the steamer without having it fall off the ramekins which are moving because the water is rapidly boiling. It is easier if you put 2 in at a time, 1 in each hand, so you don't unbalance the contraption. I learned this with the second batch, the first got a little wet.  Use some bamboo skewers to lift the lid up a bit so it lets steam out and doesn't touch the tops of the bao.  Cook for 12-14 minutes.   Eat! They were good, the filling was nice, I have way too much bbq chicken now that I will have to use in other places. The best compliment was that my wife asked to take a left over bao for lunch tomorrow. The Chinese style BBQ sauce is something I would do again, the bao I'm not so sure about, not because they weren't delicious, but because it was a decent time investment. But it was easy enough that we'll see.

Ok finished the cookie. I followed the recipe (it's missing vanilla?) but made a panookie and put some slabs of bakers chocolate in the middle. Best topped with vanilla ice cream but I was bamboozled, it wasn't actually vanilla it was the raspberry ice cream my wife made in a vanilla container (still a good fit)

         I have zero clue if this counts for any of the recipes that earn points right now. if not maybe it will later on but gently caress it here is my dinner tonight: 1. Squeeze the ever loving poo poo out of a block of firm tofu. Like seriously all six sides lots of paper towels get it all out of there. 2. Cube it and sautee it (in batches to stop from crowding if need be). I just used salt and pepper, but go nuts. 3. Toss it in a pot, and add your 4. NOT PICTURED: make some rice. I'm assuming you don't need instructions on this. 5. Prep some asparagus. Break off the woody ends. Toss them with oil, salt and pepper. Grate some parmesan cheese over the top. 6. Throw them in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 425 or so. 7. Plate everything on a dinosaur plate that Opop gave you for secret santa. 8. Eat. Give me points Grand! Or don't, whatever. Preview edit: sorry for the sideways pics I'm not changing them.
