BT may approve.

Those fries look like they needed more frying.

This is the first time ever making beef cheeks. I don’t even remember if I’ve had it before, but it was amaaaaazing. Just falls apart and so melty. You’d think it was marbled with fat to make it that way, but I think it’s all of the connective tissues (collagen?) in the cheeks that just melt when you cook it for hours.

At hour 7, I rolled the cheeks over in the juice, and the fork was like a hot knife to butter 🤤

I don’t know how my butcher got such big cheeks (lol..) but they were over 450g raw.. So I slow cooked them on high for 9 hours. Worth it.

My plating was no bueno, but you can zoom in and see how luscious the meat is. My stick blender also carked it part way through, so I ended up with bits of unblended carrot, onion, and celery in the gravy. Mashed red potatoes and green beans on the side.

Going to bed happy tonight.

Omg. I’ve just had toast with cottage cheese and egg for breakfast, and your food looks infinitely tastier 😭

Do you have recipes that you follow, or just by the seat of your pants? And whereabouts are you? Beef cheeks here aren’t so cheap… $23/kg is the price I got it for. Cheaper than some other cuts, though.

I’ve decided that cheeks are one of my favourite cuts! I also love the tail, but the prices here have really gone up for those. What used to be a “poor man’s” cut is now right up there in cost. :(

Like what FauxPseudo said (I don’t know how to tag people :( ), I feel like so many things can be slow cooked and turn out amazing. It’s just finding the right flavours to suit your tastes!

And thank you. :)

Bechamel sauce made with mild cheddar.

Cost per person $1.86

I think not technically bechamel, but when I make it like that I love adding some extra pepper

There is a fair amount of fresh cracked black pepper and a little bit of red pepper flakes in the mix.

She wanted salad with pizza. I wanted pizza with salad.

I wanted to use up the last of the anchovies from the anchovy butter. She hates anchovies.

Total cost is $11 but there is a price per person asymmetry so it’s not $5.50 per person.

Putting veggies in a caesar salad would get you a spanking

It looks like Cole slaw without the mayo. Weight watchers Cole slaw

Thanks ;)

Thank you for the context. I genuinely thought OP was having a stroke

Or imaginary bacon if you use the right axis.

You rock!

I have a hangover. I bought these little single slices of spam in a CVS on a trip to the US recently. You also need to get Pam imported from the states as you can’t buy it here. There were also frozen hashbrown triangles baking in the oven at the time of this photo, and a slice of sourdough bread in the toaster.

🥓

so its called a non-stick cooking spray.

the egg on the can is just to indicate what a lot of people use it to keep from sticking.

its basically a fine vegetable oil under compression in an aresol can like a spray paint pan.

psshh you spray it on your frying pan and it creates a fine layer of oil so food doesnt stick

Ah yeah, that a not a laptop, though i see it now XD, it’s a hole puncher.

Don’t worry my good sir, i’m not putting more spaghetty on my computer than that which comes from my code !

It was indeed :)

I think the square on the cord is an on/off switch for a lamp, not a ferrite bead

The ramen is incomplete. It should be complete tomorrow but I couldn’t wait to try it so I made myself a bowl.

What is incomplete is the egg still needs to marinate, the pork belly needs to both marinate and chill. Otherwise it was already pretty good.

As always my main complaint with making ramen is that the amount of time and waiting you need upfront is very high but if you make a lot of servings the average time per bowl isn’t terrible.

Added more broth this time:

Nice! Good call on the broccoli. Looks pretty too.

Anchovy butter is the perfect salty compliment to rich goose egg yolk.

Eggs were free. Bacon $2. Anchovy butter on scratch made bread: $3.40 Cost per person: $5.40

This is the way

It only needs two fish out of a tin so make sure you have a recipe ready for the rest of it. My leftovers are going on pizza. Caesar salad is also a good one even though it isn’t part of the original recipe.
