What did you Bake/Cook Today?!?!?! :)

[Kas]

Ratatouille
No rats, I swear.

 

[miss fortune]

bacon jalapeno cheese bread

it's baking now and the house smells like bacon... kind of a form of torture since I have an hour left before it leaves the oven

Green tea shortbread cookies!

Green tea shortbread cookies!

Mmmmm. I've made these before, they're really good.

[MENTION=325]EffEmDoubleyou[/MENTION] has made every cookie recipe.

(Side note/question: where can you get matcha green tea powder in a container? I tried to find some at a Japanese grocery and the only way they sold it was in individual packets -- and pouring packet after packet of it into a half tablespoon measure was pretty annoying and inconvenient.)

I would try Whole Foods. I'm pretty sure they have it with their bulk spices.

I made Snickerdoodle Blondies for a Psychology Department event. I've kind of become the official provider of baked goods for all psych department events/meetings. They were really yummy, too! I will add a bit more cinnamon next time.

I would love to know. I do the "pouring packet after packet" bit.

I baked some kush and cooked some crystal. Damn, i think I'm so funny. It's sad really.

Yesterday my roommate and I spontaneously made noodle soup for dinner, and it was REALLY good. The intent was to use a package of broccolini that was close to going bad.

Broth ingredients:
- 3-ish(?) cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 inch grated ginger
- A handful of chopped onion
- A drizzle of peanut oil
- Miso paste
- Red curry paste
- Water + a chicken bouillon cube or two (after the above ingredients have been sauteed a bit and the onions are softened -- 10 mins?)

Add-ins:
- 2 bundles of soba noodles, cooked til al dente
- A few handfuls of frozen corn, thawed
- Broccolini, with stems chopped off, cooked in peanut oil on the stove
- Two big handfuls of dried shiitake mushrooms, re-hydrated with the soba noodles while they were cooking
- Two soft-boiled eggs

Excellent comfort food. Next time I think I'll substitute granulated dashi for the chicken bouillon cubes.

I would try Whole Foods. I'm pretty sure they have it with their bulk spices.

I looked yesterday, and I'm sorry to say that I don't think my local Whole Foods branch has it in bulk They had it for a pretty obscene price -- $18 for 50 tea bags! -- but that was it. May have to try the Korean grocery this weekend or next weekend.

Possibly

J'ACCUSE!

(Also, I want all your recipes -- do you have somewhere online where you store them? A Pinterest board, for example?)

I would love to know. I do the "pouring packet after packet" bit.

I'll keep you posted!

Because I'm in Cali, when I make a burger, it ends up looking like this.

One of my favorite recipes.

Baked Eggs with Spinach and Tomatoes - Budget Bytes

Made a smaller amount than suggested -- totally ignored the recipe quantities. Topped it with one of those double-yolked jumbo eggs and a parm/asiago blend, then split the resulting double-egg mix in two and put it on two smallish pieces of multigrain toast.

Ooh, I like that site.

Ooh, I like that site.

I find that sometimes her recipes are too bland, even with added sriracha. But it helps, in the case of the recipe I linked (and some others), when the ingredients used are naturally very flavorful, and all they need to shine is a little salt and pepper. Plus, the website's concept is great overall.

I baked my repressed emotions into a beautiful cake worthy of the world's demands for constant productivity, cheerfulness, and composure.

I don't know. In all seriousness, though, I can't bake or cook to save my life. I actually enjoy my lack of skill in this area; I'm always making my friends laugh with my cluelessness.

I didn't get a good pic sorry but i made lamb chops, roasted potatoes, and broccoli which i put lemon juice and butter on. my mom made the bread and cucumber salad.

I made ramen for lunch, today. There's gyoza on the bottom of the bowl. It has shrimp, half-boiled egg, carrots, celery, snow peas, green beans, baby corn, red onion, garlic, and ginger in a soy and vegetable broth topped with Thai chili and scallions.

Is the picture too big?

I smoked some babyback ribs I rubbed down last night but I ran out of zigzags half way through. (That was a joke.)

They take four hours to smoke but, oh, are they tasty.
