"farmer's cheese" is just my broad english word for some sort of unripened cheese like queso fresco-- though the definition and actual products vary widely-- could be feta as well

im suspecting that's it because notice how it holds its shape instead of melting even in the parts where it turns gold

1ßß% on the cheese front! i used turkish "hirtenkäse" farmers cheese.
no perchament paper... phyllo dough
no olives, dill,
börek styled "auflauf" the filling were smoked melanzni and red peppers

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 don't know jack...! had to look it up on wikipedia-- looks like a skinny papaya.

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?

[ilduclo]

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

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...

[ilduclo]

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

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...

^^ nutella makes it better

[schizophrenicroom]

i can't handle nutella. a half a teaspoon makes my teeth hurt. but i'd previously eat a whole jar.
