we bought a piece of cow that's not a common piece of meat over here...literally translated, it would be "donkey"...some research showed that in America it is called tri-tip, which is pretty common, lol. So far for exotic and strange pieces of meat...

Anyway, the dinner was lovely, with brussel sprouts, mushrooms, potato gratin and really nice an flavorful meat.



That looks great. Tri tip is a much more common cut on the West Coast of the US. Where are you located?

How did you cook yours?

I usually do it Santa Maria style, with a rub and over the grill, though the oven is fine too. Makes amazing sandwiches with some crusty, buttered grilled bread.

Made another batch of venison chili, and still had Fritos lying around, so deconstructed Frito pie it is! I had a normal bowl after this.

Saw some monster shrimp so had to use them for something.



Shrimp and cheese grits. Used some leftover tomatillos in the sauce which gave some nice acidity to the sauce without adding lemon juice.

The whole experience is the sausage sizzle; the food item itself alternates between that name and sausage sandwich depending on the vagaries of the universe at that moment.

e: it is also correctly called a democracy sausage if the sizzle is taking place at a voting centre on election day.

What does skate wing taste like? I learned a long time ago that bad restaurants would try to pass off circular cutouts of skate as scallops, so I assume white, oily, and meaty?

I always prune the flowers before they blossom, are they good/worth allowing? This chive plant has been around for like 5 years, frozen and come back several times, so I don't think I can do anything to kill it (and wouldn't really care if I did).

That looks great, by the way, and I think it's inspired me to make some pasta primavera this week.

Just because I wanted to know what a "neep" is I googled it and found a scots wikipedia page on the subject. I love that scots looks like a bunch of orks wrote it.

I mean it's a pretty old thing, soul food wise, and yes it got trendy with Tarantino putting it in a movie or whatever. But as to the "why?" of it I guess the answer, like many foods, is just "why not?"

Why eat grits with chitlins? Why put eggs in a burrito? Why eat boiled sea insects?

I never heard of it until the early 2000s, but I didn't really eat or know about soul food growing up---of my family only my maternal grandmother is southern, everyone else is french and italian so that is the kind of food I grew up eating. Just reading a bit about C&W it does seem to be something that maybe migrated down here from the northeast in the first half of the 20th century.

e. I mean everyone eats fried chicken, corn bread, grits, macaroni and cheese and other things that could be called "soul food" but I didn't have an understanding of it as such.

bucatini with pressure cooker bolognese. first time using the pasta extruder so I used the egg pasta recipe from the manual. Might try a durum semolina mix next time

I've tried two different recipes for pasta, both traditional italian recipes from italian cookbooks, and both were utter failures, so I'm curious how that turns out.

One is the recipe that I usually use--seems to be faithfully reproduced here--which calls for 00 flour (though I typically use AP). It's 4-5 cups flour, three whole eggs, and two more egg yolks. edit: actually I am pretty sure that I don't make it with that much AP flour, as I find it comes out being way too much. I feel like I only do 2-3 cups.

It looks like this through the machine and is usually great for pappardelle, linguine, or anything flat really.



It jammed up the pasta extruder though.

The next time I tried it I used something similar but perhaps with more egg yolks or more eggs, I can't really remember. Again, it was too heavy for the extruder, though it did better than the first try.

So next time I plan on following the recipe in the machine.

Skirt steak carne asada.

I typically use flank steak, but went for skirt this time. Problem was, it was crazy tough. Almost inedible. Cooked SV @131F for 8 hours, finished on the grill. I used Kenji's marinade in the SV bag. I'm kind of baffled. Anyone have any ideas?

I just marinate it for a couple hours, then grill it fast on a hot fire. SV seems unnecessary. Slice it very thin on a bias against the grain and it's great.

Thickness may have been my issue. The slices were approx. 1/3" or so.

Maybe. You sure you cut against the grain of the meat?

Also I was curious and if you look on Serious Eats Kenji actually recommends against cooking skirt steak sous vide.

The main reason I single-flip is it's just easier for approximating your cooking time. If you know that for a given cut thickness that 2 mins per side gets you a good medium rare, flipping it every 30 seconds and loving around with a thermometer just becomes a hassle for no real benefit other than a marginally quicker cooking time.

If two minutes a side gets you what you want (what are you cooking, a pork chop?) then cook 30 seconds and flip eight times. Though it’s probably easier to do this on a grill admittedly.
