Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[neph93]

@goosehd:

@Chris  In my 20’s, I would have eaten that “salad”.

I think I’ve posted this a while back, but seeing as I mentioned high calorie «salads», here you go:

This was dinner today. Chorizo, chick peas, preserved bell pepper and coriander. Served with a large dollop of creme fraiche. About 750 cals per serving (or two of the vanilla buns I made on Saturday ).

That looks delicious… are you vegetarian ?

[BD81]

I thought chorizo was plant based sausage.. my bad lol

It is pretty meaty

Although a lot of out family meals are vegan, and more still vegetarian. I eat meat about two or three times a month. I believe it is called flexitarianism.

Didn't know you ate that little meat, nephy… Obviously a GREAT decision imo 

[Seul]

(On the other hand I don't care if one eats meat two times a day or a month; not my fucking business innit…)

@neph93 Now that is something I would eat today (closer to 50).  Looks delicious and I bet that you could manage the calories by watching the amount of creme fraiche used and (big if) you could eat a normal serving.

I seriously doubt that I could.

Who needs meat?

The less meat we eat the more we recognize that we actually don’t need it.
We had a beef stew yesterday, still half of it in the fridge. Todays Wok with Tofu is empty…

[Seul]

Eww tofu 

(I'd eat the shit outta that though…)

@Seul:

Eww tofu 

(I'd eat the shit outta that though…)

Thinking about making my own Tofu… Yeah too much time at home atm  ::)

My wife is a native Texan. She told me years ago that it wasn't until she was in college that she learned it was possible to have a meal without meat.

@Seul just make some bread mate.

@Giles those look great dude.

@ROman we are doing well thanks. A little cabin feverish but we are well. Running out of flour too.

[Seul]

You lot make far better beers these days than the old conservative c-units here… I'd even go as far as say that the UK (including Wales, Scotland and N-Ireland) produce the best IPAs of €urope...

So 14hrs later and the pork butt is done, a little longer than I was thinking but well worth it. Really glad the weather was somewhat decent in NY. This time of year it can be a crap shoot eaither way….

I'm really happy with how it turned out. I hadn't done pork butt in a while, it was a nice break from brisket and ribs.

I'm going to take bread making posts out of here, and put them into the new thread:

Bread - What are you baking today…..

https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=14110.0

Please use that now on for bread related stuff.

I'll merge later on today....

My first attempt at baking and have attempted a lemon drizzle. Just bloody hope its cooked through and we can enjoy later once its cooled. Cakes and baking in general is nothing short of wizardry. Eggs, sugar and flour = magic!
