Being cooked for ...

Prime Rib

I have no idea.  I tried marinating beef in coconut vinegar, and the two mutated into some as yet unknown third gelatinous substance.  I will cook it to see what it tastes like, but I’m not really into sour meats, so it will probably get thrown out or become a special effect in a low budget horror movie.

Depending on the taste you may try using the beef in a Thai or Cambodian style stew with rice noodles, cilantro, and  ginger.

So, most of it turned into liquid upon cooking.  I can smell some serious vinegar, and there’s barely a cup of cooked meat in all that liquid.

 I have no idea what to do with it.  I think the vinegar attacked the fat, which is probably healthy, so I may try to separate the meat from the liquid, but that might invoke the wrath of the hive mind, so if you don’t hear from me again, assume that’s what happened.

 I’m going to go out and get some takeout.  If it’s my last meal, I want it to be a good one.

If you do pass from food poisoning, can I have your Molly Dooker wines?

I think that was the last of the Carnival of Love/Enchanted Path echelon.  All I’ve got left is that one Velvet Glove and a couple in the Blue Eyed Boy/Gigglepot echelon.  It’s up to my sisters, I will put you in touch with them, they get everything.

Ended up throwing it out.  Smelled nasty.  A friend of mine figured out what probably happened -- the vinegar "predigested" the food for me.  ?

Went back to easy, still got it wrong, although it was edible this time.  Made Thai red curry beef...but I don't think Thai red curry uses coconut milk, and I did, so I ended up making something more panang-y than red curry.  It was still delicious.

French Onion Soup -- smells delicious!  Was loosely following this recipe

Goulash 20200104 -- fucking delicious!  I really like the flavours that baby zucchini,  okra, and celery added.  Only a smattering of meat, though -- should have put in a second packet.

'Tis the season for chickpea turmeric stew 

Chana!!

Some similar ingredients but not Chana Masala.

Made a brisket today and just put it in the cooler. Will be having brisket breakfast tacos tomorrow morning and making brisket tamales with them tomorrow!

Made scones to start the week off right.

 

I made a huge pot of American Chop Suey, aka beef-a-roni for the football game yesterday. 

I just found out that chipotle peppers are jalapeños, smoked and dried.  Not only that, but a lot of them have two names!

It is only 48 outside, but clear.

So two open faced burgers on the grill. Sonja got two as well.

 

Panang-ish Curry, Take 2

Slightly cooked veggies in a jar..

Will see what they do in a week or so...

Quickles Vietnamese-style are easy: just a pinch of salt and a bigger pinch of sugar, stir, let sit for a couple hours.  I dunno his recipe.  I haven't made Kimchi or Sauerkraut in ages.

Yup - sugar - salt - rice vinegar - home made apple cider vinegar - spices

- will test it out tomorrow. No idea - just thrown together. 

Last night I started another batch of goulash.  Two cans of tomato paste in the crockpot on high and passed out.  Woke up several hours later to burnt tomato paste.  Ah well...trying again today...while I drink my second coffee.

last batch came out nice -- more pickling.
