Cut up baby back ribs in a marinade Recipe: https://shuangyskitchensink.com/chinese-sweet-and-sour-ribs/

Rice, baby bok Choi in some cold water and the start of the sauce to go on the ribs I ended up mixing some tasty au jus we got from a local Asian fusion restaurant too

A side of soup dumplings (store bought) next to the sauce the wings will be dumped in simmering down

The (almost) final wings after a boil and sear. After this they went into the sauce and then onto the plate

Made Chinese ribs today upon request. First time making and they turned out really well. Ashamedly I didn't get a final shot again 😭

...Do your best!

Just learned that the dulce de leche I made doesn't freeze solid, which is not great news for making dulce de leche filled cookies

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Probably for the best; they're a neat puzzle to write but not super maintainable

It's interesting: I have no issue with the texture when it's sweet (which I do regularly), but I do have an issue when it's savory. To be fair, I've only done a couple of experiments so I'll probably try it again at some point

I tried some savory overnight oats recently with mixed results

It's a neat concept; biggest issue for me might have been the texture honestly. It's much easier to do a good sweet one

I personally adore regular expressions, but I'm definitely in the minority

Prepare to be hindered, hamburgah!!!

There's something about a multi-generational story that really gets me. Happened with One Piece, Frieren, and JJBA among others.

Writing this down maybe I need to find some media with multigenerational elements that isn't anime

Tepache after initial mixing

After 1 day

After 3 days ready for straining

A full gallon of tepache

Tepache! I've never made it before (and fermenting makes me nervous). It tastes okay, though we added too much water and too little pineapple so it's a little bland. Still good though! 🍍

Late update: my wife compared it to "what I would imagine human meat tastes like" (she didn't like it) which is the most bonkers criticism I've heard yet but I guess that means more sauce for me

Marshal Zhukov from The Death Of Stalin saying the line "I mean, I'm smiling--but I am really fucking furious"

Me in this meeting when someone "redesigned" my table I've been using for months and decided to change the names and how it worked with minimal thought or input from me but I still have to be nice

I always end up recommending the magnus archives to people (horror podcast).

I usually also recommend the silt verses which is also a horror podcast, but honestly it's a little too real since the main conflict is kinda late stage capitalism. There is rebellion though!

Literally watched this episode last night with the fam. I'm always saying this is the best trash anime

It was good 💯💯💯

Ingredients laid out. Onion, garlic, tomato, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, meatballs (store bought), Italian sausage, and big ol chunks of pork

The sauce all mixed together, ready to sit around for a couple hours

The pot with its lid cracked. It's in the oven Just sitting there Menacingly

Who's ready for some Sunday sauce (in like 3 hours)

#food #cooking

Breakfast burrito assembly station. Tortillas (those buy and cook ones), egg, beans, cheese, and taco meat from white people taco night

Part of the breakfast burritos with a cheeky quesadilla I made

The final haul of burritos! Left is 7 bean n cheese, right also has egg and meat (the two at the top have leftover katsu pork)

More breakfast burritos. They were successful the first time around so they may be a regular rotation. Easy to make, easy to freeze

Most of the ingredients for the soup (onion already in the pan) Tomatoes, spices, grated parmesian, garlic, and a red pepper I charred over the stove and cut up

Who wants salsa? (This is just the soup before it got blended)

Grilled cheese frying up and blended tomato soup For cheese I had some American and some Colby (and one provolone for me) One of my bread loaves was moldy, but luckily I had a homemade loaf from thanksgiving I forgot about in the fridge. Still good!

Grill cheese and tomato soup on some disposable plateware

I made tomato soup and grilled cheese for lunch while I was forced into a meeting about some gen AI tool. I think this was a better use of my time

Go on the offensive. Listen to it on loop until you've forced it to submit

Most of the ingredients ready to go

Frying the tofu next to some veggies in the wok

Fried tofu

Finished fried rice. Good for a couple more meals

Fried rice and fried tofu for dinner. Forgot to put any sauce in the tofu so it was a little plain but still good

Even though I have a gas range, I'm considering buying one of them induction wok cookers...

Hey everyone quick reminder

Honestly brutal - I have a remote job and no kids and I still have a hard time getting things done (and that's when I don't have a new game)

Good luck and I hope you get some break time ✊

Being responsible doesn't mean you're not allowed to whine. Keep on whining and Godspeed 🫡

Breading station prepped with sliced pork, flour/cornstarch, egg/buttermilk, and panko

The aftermath with breaded up pork

Pork frying away in the work (3 total batches)

The pork after frying I forgot to take a plated glamor shot 😅

Made pork katsu for dinner. Honestly since presliced pork tenderloin is like 2.50 a pound it's so convenient (aside from the deep frying). Plated up with the last of my katsu sauce, rice, n cabbage

And once I clean up I go back to woolhaven 🐑
