He's gotta stay hydrated.

Exactly. We all know straight water is not safe to drink!

Sorry, missed this last night! Looks fantastic! I tried a couple of times to make corn tortillas and it was epic fail each time. You mind sharing your process?

Absolutely. It's super simple. Im "old school" so don't fart around with scales or measuring cups.

I add masa til it looks like enough to make the amount of tortillas I want (probably a cup for 3-4). I add some salt and if I feel fat I'll add a chunk of soft butter but usually I just add water and knead til the dough has the consistency of playdoh. If it's too wet add a pinch if masa. If it's too dry add water. You can dive them up into balls and make tortillas straight away but I find that if I let the dough rest for 30mins to an hr it usually ends up more fluffy. Also, a tortilla press and wax paper go a lonnnnng way. I can measure everything out next time I make them and get you a more exact recipe. But at this point I feel like I have them pretty dialed. Prefer then over store bought if that means anything haha

Your last comment is how every meal should be... Very very nice.

OK, so as usual I'm showing my ignorance here but I've never had cooked radishes. They're something that I only eat raw, now I've got to try them cooked. Do you just roast/bake them?

 

[cpa4ny]

One of my favorite things to eat - pasta putanesca.

Well, actually... potatoes are a vegetable.

No offense but "din"? First one I ignored but saying it again? I'll need to put that in the things that annoy me thread.

Carry on.

I did it just to try it. I don't know if I have had them before either


I roasted them in chicken fat (schmaltz) from a chicken I had just roasted. I put them in the cast iron pan and put it in the oven at 350 for about 30-45 minutes.

They taste like slightly watery turnips, with a hint of radish. They'd probably be better in a mix of other vegetables.

They make fairly decent "hash browns" if you dice them up and brown them in bacon fat, with plenty of onion. Nice for those of us who limit carbage.

The skins turn brown and they're somewhat reminiscent of spicy fried red taters.

And all this time I thought it was only I! Lol

Did nobody eat din din tonight? No photos of cooking

Alright I get it. You don't like the word din. Apparently shortening words is not allowed around here.

 

[trav77]

I'm going to start calling it "ner". Just to see who it bothers.

Go for it apparently, people find need to completely derail a thread because they're too immature to get over a shortening of a word

Sous vide and seared pork chop with chimichurri, steamed broccoli, and tupelo honey glazed carrots.

 

[applescrap]

Finally made bolognese, wow, so good. So simple with beautiful concentrated flavors. Pancetta melted with mirepoix, beef, and only 5 tbl spoons of tomato sauce. A cup of whole milk added slowly as it simmers for an hour or two. Served on pasta son and i made. Really good.
Also made betty crocker yellow cake and topped with simple chocolate glaze that had blueberries mixed in.

Had a craving for sweet treats last night so I made CC cookies with mini M&Ms and I added a touch of almond extract and a touch of cinnamon just to throw people off.

And I made Potato Salad, because.

Mushroom risotto almost done. My first time cooking it. Haven't liked it much out it was either crunchy(in Naples Italy) or gloppy hotel restaurant.
