What did I cook this weekend.....

[Staestc]

It all looks good Travis! Is that a carrot flower I see in the ramen? Fancy and it looks delicious.

They usually have two halves of a Japanese egg of some kind too. I just realized that was missing from the take out. I wonder if they are having trouble getting eggs? But this stuff is so good that the next day you are trying to figure out how to get it again and again! lol

Beef (chuck roast), barley and veggie soup. Good splash of some homemade mild chili oil on top. Its just Korean pepper flakes and rice bran oil so its very mild.

Made beef and barley last week. Used beef cheeks, one of my goto meats for slow-cooker stews. Usually a budget cut, usually available (unlike everything else that's been picked over by the end-of-days folks), and is a tough but very flavorful cut.

Speaking of availablity... beef heart has been very accessible as has other organ meats. I stocked up on beef heart, liver, kidneys, oxtail, tripe and tendon as well as chicken feet, hearts, gizzards and livers. Some for me, some for the dogs.

Kahpoon soup with beef balls and chicken feet.

Sauerkraut, red potatoes, onions, garlic, kerrygold butter, and kielbasa with caraway seeds and black pepper in a cast iron pot. Family favorite now!

I make this pork dish about two or three times a month, with and without variations. It's a good base if you otherwise don't have one. I do prefer the toasted sesame oil, and I use low sodium soy sauce. And a boxed lava cake

Love beef heart and ox tail. Chicken feet are useful for the collagen. The rest you can keep! lol Although I do giblet gravy every year, so I guess I do have uses for the hearts, gizzards, and livers

My grandmother used to make a chicken gizzard/hearts dish with rice, carrots, and celery. I still make it about once a year. Great on a cold/damp day. Comfort food that takes me back to my youth.

I dont do hardly any liver. Fried gizzards though i will hammer if they are good. Oxtails around here are anything but cheap. They are a solid $6lb or more. Beef tongue isnt even cheap. Chuck i can get all day long for under $5/lb and the flavor is excellent.

Meaty pork belly/pork side is the best value and great source of collagen too. I have to go to the specialty markets though to get the meaty kind. Normal stores only sell "bacon quality" pork belly. Its mostly fat and no skin. Try cooking a nice meaty piece of pork belly like a brisket sometime. Add some hong shao rou type seasonings if you wish. Thats mostly just soy sauce, rice wine and sesame oil.

 

[TwistedGray]

Stir fry (pork, carrot, bell pepper, onion, garlic, brussel sprouts and cauliflower rice)

 

[applescrap]

The pencil drawing was a bit better lol. This mischievous lil bunny comes across the giant egg and has plans for eating it. The kids and I made this. The crumb coat made it really good. Cream cheese frosting crumb coat with colored strawberry frosting cuz thats all store had. Also made some pecan smoked pork last night, having tonight with homemade bread and basmati rice.

 

[TwistedGray]

Made pancake batter from scratch for the first time and made the wife pancakes and myself a blueberry belgium waffle.

Way better than boxed mix!

Please read my post in the bread thread. I'm still not over you yet.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Had a late brew day, so leftover chili over rice.

 

[schematix]

18 Chicken enchiladas. Made the rice from scratch. First time it’s turned out right and it was amazing.

So what is so great with chicken feet. I am all for internal organs but I cant do feet.

 

[OleBrewing]

Got on the grill with bacon wrapped deer back strap.

Like many things, nothing special if poorly done. Chicken feet, or any feet for that matter are full of collagens and connective tissue. Adding them to soup or stocks really brings out that deep flavor. It's like making soup from meat and canned stock instead of bones is a little lacking.

Regarding eating the feet, its like eating wings. Little meat and lots of work but good flavor. Not a problem for bone suckers. Closer to the bone, sweeter is the meat... (sing it louis prima)

Yeah I get it. I have made plenty of bone soup.

Super lazy hot dog broil lunch. Started with fries, then hebrew nationals, then veg. Dumped out on parchment and served with tongs. First whole wheat mix in a long time. Made the buns while the fryer cooked. About 20 min start to table.

Did I add this here or just in pizza thread? I used a cast iron in my pizza oven to make hamburgers. Was pretty good. Super good. Used mesquite wood with propane. Home made bread yoddy doddy

Chocolate! Alright I am starting to take this personally No one likes chocolate. Well I have posted the recipe enough if the urge hits.

What else. Did I post these chips, the loss of the app has been rough. I fried some corn tortillas in a little canola oil. Omg, these little devils are heavenly. And nachos with pork butt.

 

[user 211287]

Boston butt rolled pork roast, homemade kkaktugi (radish kimchi) and steamed rice with veggies.

Ready to eat. I generally make my sauce with sausage, or sometimes with meatballs. This batch was just sauce without any meat.

I just fed my sourdough starter, now I need to feed it a little more as I want SD waffles in the morning, afternoon, time is irrelevant.

Good to see you around, that is an excellent plan, I didn’t use starter for these, but I do think SD waffles and pancakes are extra good.
