i'm eating ICE CREAM
i made it myself with this recipe: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...am-recipe.html it's an awesome recipe because with 6 egg yolks it's just so smooth velvety creamy and ZERO ice crystals (a frequent problem with homemade ice cream). ben & jerry have nothing on me now. for the flavor i added lúcuma, which... it's hard to explain what kind of fruit it is but the ice cream is DELICIOUS ![]() that's not my photo but those are lúcumas |
I have never seen those. They lok interestng.
I'm trying to figure out what to make for breakfast....but I think I'll just go with the standard eggs n black beans....ain't nuffin' wrong wit dat. |

You ever eat jackfruit ice cream?
|
Quote:
maybe some day. where do you find this, in 'merica? and is it a watery or creamy ice cream? you know, ice cream or sorbet? |
Can be either sorby or creamy, SE Asian, ask for it in a Vietnamese or Thai place. It's a gigantic spiny fruit with an acquired taste. I like it, wife hates it

Quote:
oh, great! i'll look for it next time @ the asian market. thanks! |
haven't eaten this yet but just finished "cooking" a green tea ice cream.
the custard is cooling now and will go into the machine this afternoon. this is as exciting for me as the new horizons approach to pluto was for NASA. |
jsut made a massive batch of french toast
tested some recipes and got rid of yet more ingredients in advance of the move gonna need a post-breakfast nap... |
try mixing crushed almonds in your french toast batter, that and of course the real deal butter and real maple syrup from the forests of VT
|
amazing chicken salad sandwich on a toasted croissant. had pecans, raisins, and little bits of apple in it. tasty summer fare.

irish butter only! but i used agave to avoid some sort of diabetic coma, ha ha ha. what do you mean crushed almonds-- smashed chunks? or almond flour/meal? Quote:
oh hell yesss |
So my girlfriend and I went to our favorite burger place today, Kuma's Corner(if yer ever in Chicago..and love burgers....YOU MUST GO HERE)...and I decided to go with the birger of the month...and it's this one...The Alice Cooper
http://www.kumascorner.com/botm/alice-cooper ![]() burger with refriend black beans, guacamole, cilabntro, salsa, queso fresco, and yes...a (pork) flauta.....shit was mad delicious. |
yesterday there was a leftover half can of beer (accidentally forgotten) so instead of throwing it away i made a beer granita with salt, pepper, and olive oil
it was a good first experiment and some things were learned the olive oil floated in the top but it was tasty by itself the next beer granita i'm making with lime juice. i'm also adding lots more salt. |
moving is stressful, so i went down to the local walrats and stocked up on stress foods. stuff such as:
-cream + milk (to make ice cream) -cheeses (cheddar, chihuahua) -corn + flour tortillas -tortilla chips -bacon -sliced white bread (buttermilk, potato) -spam (lite) -nutella -hot sauce -sliced ham -sliced salami -pickles -white sugar -flavored bubbly water cans -other trash food i can't remember but must either have intense flavors or enable them. salt/sugar/fat. $80 worth of junk food should help us brave the moving month. moving is the worst, even when you try to avoid it. $80 goes a very long way at walrats. i should have bought solo cups + paper plates. nothing like enviro-rape to reduce housework. naaaaah... just eat directly out of the cans/bags/packets. |
that's how i've been eating lately and there's no room in the fridge between five of us. tortillas, rice. i fried an egg tonight over basmati rice with soy chorizo and an avocado. it made up for the pizza and work food i ate, i guess.
|
ha ha, we're gonna get zits...
well, i am... |
|
i can't handle nutella. a half a teaspoon makes my teeth hurt. but i'd previously eat a whole jar.

it's true it's too sweet. that was mostly rhetorical, ha ha ha. but when i make ice cream i might add some to the machine, like a swirl thing and i do wonder about bacon and nutella sandwiches. the salt, the chocolate... i don't know, it could work. or maybe it tastes like ass-- i'll find out. i'm also gonna fry spam. spam + egg. on a flour tortilla. with roasted green chiles. i know, i'm using food as a drug. in my defense i can say: "i can quit anytime!" (ha ha ha). "it's still legal!" hm. maybe i fucked up. but really it's been bananas. i even smoked 1/2 a cigarette the other day. |
bacon and nutella is heavenly. especially when the bacon is kind of chewy and soft. preferably this is in a crepe.
i had two cigarettes the other night on my friend's porch, and feel awful about it. |
oh yeah crepes.... i'll have some leftover milk from the ice cream... i can make those.
don't beat yourself up about 2 smokes. it's like-- going to los angeles for 15 minutes. big deal. well im gonna go try to sleep-- good night you. i hope i find some schizo/crayons comedy in the morning ha ha ha. |

Kinder Country! <3

Quote:
no idea of what that is but doesn't "kinder" mean children, you cannibal? for breakfast i had fried spam (lite, not regular), 2 eggs over easy, a roasted green chile, 2 flour tortillas, cup of coffee. obviously after that i'm skipping lunch. |

well, well, well ![]() it's like the oreo of menshevik middle european cuisine! (the kinder pinguin is not to be underestimated too, and whoever will argue that it's the maxi king where it's at, i'll smear a dozen milchschnitten in your face). on a positive note.... got my gumbo down (kinda hard to find an equivalent for andoullle. had most success with "dürre"... chorizo, kabanos, basically you want a smoked pork sausage... and here okras are called magic fingers) on a negative note.... who want's to eat in a cold cave? |
chef! good to see you around here again.
congrats on the gumbo. so the heater is broken again in versailles? |
i learned finally how to make a perfect fried egg... oh my god. some iberico ham, some peppers. beauty.
|
KINDER!! this indian store near me has a bevy of british/european chocolates and every type of kinder bar is there. and my beloved aero.

i live now near a trader joe's. not "near" like walking distance but, you know, a 10 minute drive on a clear day. which is waaaay better than the day-long shopping expeditions when i was "back at the ranch."
so they have these mega-sized honeycrisp apples. with some cabot extra-sharp cheddar and a glass of the tj's white block wine. i love how tjs makes life so fucking generous. i mean. a simple purchase that tastes delicious. the cheese is from walrats though. walrats is horrible but it sorta rules ha ha ha. in any case. my dinner probably costs no more than $2.50 and it's like, perfection. tomorrow, i think: lentils for lunch. |
For lunch today, my wife took me to the Neches River Wheelhouse in Port Neches.

ahhh, this thread.
so the board, everyone left? ok. 2015, shit year. the restaurant i cooked at finally had to close. the republic of france, who were fighting us legally, sold the whole object to Qatar. je suis... as an untrained cook with a broken shoulder it wasn't exactly funny to find a not underpaid job. Lucky me, they hired me at a very popular restaurant, attached to a theatre for children (so it's a 'what the rich-kids-parents want' cuisine). And then that's quite the thing... garlic, hey let's buy it in 5 kg, vacuumed, puree it and keep it in that fridge with mouldy seal.. and keep it for the next month to use it in every recipe coming up first at googleing 'gauloises'... and then they made me do the catering for the vice-magazine-austria x-mas party. that was too ridiculous. total gastro-coked-up hitler-souffle. it's all run by this big-shot dude whose parents have a fancy hotel in ski-tourism countryside. anyways, all good now. got a new job at the best place i can imagine! cheers to 16 how y'all doin? and eatin' ? PS i love garlic |

just found this. wow that was quite an odissey. good to know you landed on your feet. don't worry about training. just save up for your food truck. FERMENTOWAGON! parked at every music festival, outdoor party, etc you can do wild variations of the bratwurst and sauerkraut theme-- all except that well it will needs a better name and good marketing but imagine what it could be. |
it's breen a ride.
all good now. finally happy with our ciabatta (lievito madre, roasted wheatgerms) ![]() ![]() ![]() |

oh damn look at those holes! beautiful looks the right kind of chewy it must taste amazing -- tonight i made a roasted broccoli and potato soup. just 4 ingredients: onion, starchy potato, chicken broth, plus the broccoli went in the oven until it charred a little. olive oil, 5 ingredients. salt, 6. i think i could eliminate the chicken next time. yeast works just as well for umami. really simple though, and served with a spoonful of sour cream. nice quick dinner for a busy day same veggie + potato template could work 100 ways |
I've been drinking a lot of IPA tonite to have some fun during the primary woo-hoo! Talked to some nice folk from LA at Manitobas for awhile. I made $200+ off ebay tonite so I'm pleased. earlier I ate some locally made italian sausage and some roasted broccoli and brown rice. You only get one chance at healthy living. And a bunch of IPAs are real fucking healthy WOO HOO!!!

still not 100% there with the ciabatta (3 day process with lots of variables + we cant find the fucking manual for our stupid oven) , it's getting better and better though. your soup sounds good, can imagine that reallly well with some cime di rapa (mix in the leaves later, add some lemon). but nothing beats a nice chicken stock as a basis for... well everything. what's STARCHY potatos? Here's the soup I made this week (we got fresh tomatoes from our gardener last week): tomatoes: cut in half, add honey, olive oil, thyme, salt pepper roast in oven for about half an hour at 200 °C (should be really dark and nicely roasted) strain add your trusted stock 1:1 season with gin(don't be greedy), salt pepper serve with croutons, sour cream and basil leaves i'm getting really good at making pasta. here's my spaghetti alla chitarra: ![]() ![]() ![]() we serve it with grilled malfi lemon, rucola, 'young garlic' and pecorino. hope you're doing fine. not much activity here ha? |
