So, /ck/, what's for dinner today?Pic is mine tonight. I've never been one for presentation but trust me when I say this is delicious: Roasted tomatoes, peppers, onions, courgettes with grilled halloumi (the most god tier of cheese) all stir fried together with rice. om nom nom.
Won't get home until late tonight (9:00) so I'll just be eating whatever on campus.Yesterday, though, I had pork stuffed with blue cheese, the last of the vegetable from the garden (grilled tomatoes, onions and a mushroom) and pasta with asparagus bits. Yum.>courgettes with grilled halloumomg want
Chili tonight. Trying Alton Brown's recipe. His calls for a pressure cooker, but lacking that I just got it started a bit earlier in a regular pot and will let it simmer through the day. Whole house already smells gooooood.
It's my sister's birthday and she wanted tacos and for desert, my great-grandmother's chocolate cake with strawberries and cream cheese frosting.
>>3043Tell us how this turns out.I'm in the mood to try a new chili recipe this week, and like you I have no pressure cooker.
Pizzaaaaa :)
>>3045The final product was good, but cooking in a regular pot was a little troublesome for me. I attribute that more to my stove top being a tad wonky. Biggest problem I had cooking on my stove is that my burners are rather finicky, and it was hard to get things down to just a nice simmer without killing the heat (gas burners). Adding some beef stock helped keep it moist so that things didn't stick, but just to be safe, I switched to a crock pot for the rest of the cooking. Well worth the little bit of trouble though, as it tasted great.Also, tonight I made home-made deep dish pizza. Yum!
Made some fries and topped them with leftover coney sauce and shredded cheese. So good~
>>3161The hell is coney sauce?
>>3162The greatest thing to come from Michigan since General Motors. It's kind of a spicy beef sauce, halfway between finely-ground sloppy joe and chili. There's two styles. Detroit style is more like chili, it's wetter and usually spicier, and Flint style is drier and slightly milder. It's usually served on coney dogs, all-beef hot dogs topped with the sauce, onions, and mustard. Kind of a local favorite, the easy availability of coney dogs is pretty much Flint's only redeeming feature. </infodump>
fresh pizza. Bought pre existing dough, made everything else from scratch.I definitely did something wrong with the sauce, but oh well.
Tonight, I make gyros. Already made the tzatziki sauce, and it's damn yummy.
I'm going to the drive-in. So shitty greasy food and ice cream.FUCK YES.
>>3168MY BROTHER!I fucking love gyros. There's this place here in San Diego that makes amazing gyros.
>>3168I get thrown off by americans calling a doner a gyro
>>3218It's what the Greek guy who owned the Greek restaurant I used to work at called it too.
>>3218Because we have more Greeks than Turks here?No matter what you call them, they are pretty much the best sandwich.
>>3210I wish I'd tried them sooner. Now I lament the wasted years.>>3220>No matter what you call them, they are pretty much the best sandwich.Having finally had one, I'm inclined to agree.
>>3218Similar but different. It's just because of DAT LAMB.
>>3224No, you get lamb doners too. Its just a regional naming thing I guess.Funnily enough though my local kebab shop was run by greeks so fuck knows
>>3225No, I meant they're similar because of the lamb.
Made chicken curry. It came out pretty good, but the potatoes weren't quite soft enough.
