Lol, no cares in the world. Gearing up to plant next month for this year's harvest

I cant do that here. County ordinance states indoor only in a detached structure. I want to enjoy that good outdoor earthy flavor. Yes... its not as controlled or strong, but its like eating a hot-house tomato vs from the garden, no comparison!

Yeah, we're on old farmland, but you wouldn't know it considering were in "the city"..everything grows well here. Now I just need five massive trees felled too let in some midday sun. Meet with the tree guy tomorrow

Decided to use some of my pulled pork to make empanadas for the first time. Dough was super sticky so I just kept adding flour until it looked right. Turned out I’d misread 1/3rd cup water for 1/2 cup!

First batch had been in for 15 minutes and didn’t look right. Then I realized I’d forgot the baking powder! They tasted a bit like matzah, so Fortunately not a total waste, just Jewish pork empanadas

I worked some baking powder into the other half batch and those turned out looking much better! I was surprised how tender they turned out. I was sure that I had over-worked the dough getting the baking powder incorporated!

“Carnitas” (leftover fresh ham) taco with fresh mango salsa.

It's really easy, @BongoYodeler - I can post the actual recipe if you want to give it a try!

Do you let 2 qts sit on the counter till its gone? What kind of timeline is that?
Thanks for the recipe!

 

[TwistedGray]

Black bean and ham soup

It sits in our pantry, which is a nice dark place most of the time!! . 2 quarts probably lasts us at least 2 months.

BTW you need a heavy-duty blender if you want this nice and smooth like French's. You know the term "can't cut the mustard" - LOL!! You need some power to grind those little seeds up well. This is partially why we soak them for at least several days.

White bread

Breakfast in bed for the wife

I've been too busy the last two weeks. Did some Jalapeno Cheddar bread last weekend, then made grill cheese sandwiches with it That's about it except for a couple of pizzas.

Big one is a lemon thyme olive oil cake, and the small one is a cannabis infused coconut oil lemon olive oil cake (20mg in total, so roughly 5mg per quarter slice...I could eat the whole thing in one setting (hence the larger one, too). The jar I showed before is 450mg-ish so roughly 9mg per tsp (2+ for this recipe). Should last a while until I find other users for coconut oil.

Cheated tonight. Takeout from one of our favorite places. Grilled rib eye enchiladas with tomatillo salsa, jicama guacamole, el pato red rice, spicy black beans, queso fresco, and creama. Pic from Instagram because my pic didn't do it justice.

Desert was a blackberry burrito, minus the homemade ice cream since it was a 20 minute drive home.

Oh man Travis! That looks just like the jalapeño cheese loaves that Costco used to make in their bakery - no doubt yours is BETTER! They quit making them, probably a good thing for me. It's a no-go on Keto!

Thanks. It was really nice. I will certainly make it again!

Szechuan-style salt & pepper shrimp. Delicious and simple.

Pork butts went for an overnight smoke. About to come off for a foil rest.

Just awesome! Did you tempura them with a club soda corn starch batter? What's the club soda for?

 

[bob1852]

Fig, feta, bacon, and arugula pizza. Drizzled with habanero infused honey. And paired with a habanero infused wildflower mead.

 

[bob1852]

Singapore-style noodles (I say 'style' because the name is strange in that they're from Hong Kong and popularized in the US and UK....not Singapore!)

 

[bob1852]

You can tell what I've been doing in quarantine...

Yep! Mixed the corn starch with club soda. It made for a really nice, light batter that was hardly there, but made the shrimp crunchy.

Shakshuka. 1st time ever having this, no clue on authenticity of taste, but I would definitely make it again. Spicy simmered tomato and veggies, eggs poached in the simmering mix. Nice 1-pot breakfast! Thinking this would be a good base for fish.
