Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[Madame Buttonfly]

@Katsushin:

That's smart to wear a matching top to your frosting.  Don't even need the apron then…it just blends right in.
(As a red wine drinker I've learned that purple and maroon shirts are my friend).

Haha, I thought that was smart colour-coordination too!  Must ask Haraki to make more shirts/tees in purple and maroon, just what G needs…

Kat the gaulet has been thrown.

shirt color doesn't matter to me, i don't waste a drop.

[loghill]

Breakfast!

[Jii]

Love it!

Was going to make a chilli today, for eating tomorrow. I understand that chocolate can be a good addition, can anyone specifically advise me please? Thanks much.

[Giles]

Yep, nice bitter dark choc.  Chuck in towards the end…...........

[hectic]

Ta G, someone at work said milk chocolate and I was sure they were talking shite.

[Giles]

Not done this recipe myself, but I often chuck a few oz's in towards the end of the cooking:

yeah - it can be good hectic

depends on your ingredients but generally (very) high cocao content chocolate goes quite nicely

i've used willies chocolates for that

Used this recipe for a try out (ta, G): http://whatleydude.com/2009/04/chocolate-chilli-yum/

Pot's in the oven, pics to follow but I guess chilli isnt very photogenic though…

[injunjack]

You did take pics while making it, didn't you?

[injunjack]

Loads of pics again,
take these…

Beans were cooked earlier, onion, garlic and tomatoes went to oil

Bring to boil

Citronpepper, curry and oil mixture brushed to chicken

[injunjack]

Need more posts from different people…

[Beatle]

successfully - hungry again

[Geo]

Good work on all counts IJ

Need to up my input to this - but work means I'm eating out more than cooking . . .

[Chris]

Yeah, I'd like to contribute more, but I don't have a kitchen right now…

[Madame Buttonfly]

IJ, you having a couple of nights off from cooking?  I'm so hungry cos I haven't had my virtual fab fodder for couple of days…

[injunjack]

aha, and now you're pushing me….

I usually cook only on weekends, don't have time to do it on weekdays, and nobody eating it...

I'll try to think of something for the weekend.
Meanwhile (after work)I could put up a pic of wifey's creation,  chocolate cake (almost like mudcake but wasn't)
if you folks like to?
