Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[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?

[Madame Buttonfly]

Oooh, yes please IJ!  And I will make some effort to post in this thread, when others see pics of my cooking they should feel happier about posting their own. 

[injunjack]

So wifey made herself (and us) a B-day cake last saturday.
Hope you can make with it until weekend    and Monday, don't ya dare to drool over your keyboard.

[Madame Buttonfly]

Oh, that's so pretty!  And SO chocolately (I can imagine it sticking to the roof of my mouth, mmm….)

Thanks, IJ (and belated happy birthday to Mrs IJ)

[injunjack]

[Finn666]

You sure like that cake & taking your time …I would swallow a piece and not even have it touch my teeth , that's how fast it'd be gone...

[Madame Buttonfly]

OK, that choc cake made me so hungry I decided to do some cooking.  Cold and rainy here so perfect for a Jamie Oliver beef stew:

Fresh sage and onion, looks crap but wish I could post the lovely smell:

Realise when veggies, meat, wine and stock are being added that pan not big enough so messy transfer (not shown) to bigger casserole dish 

Nearly ready to go in oven:

Now in oven with several hours slow cooking - hopefully enough time for me to clear up (not insignificant) mess in kichen… 

[injunjack]

looks delicious, mmmmm

[Madame Buttonfly]

Thanks, IJ.  Sad to admit, I am anything but a domestic goddess - but this dish is pretty idiot-proof (and must say, it's smelling good!)

[Madame Buttonfly]

Eaten.  Doesn't look so go in photos, but was yum.  G said was very good (high praise from Head Chef)    This was my plateful, couldn't take pic of G's cos would need wide-angled lens…  ::)

More on WAYCT from me in about 3 months.  Back over to IJ!

[nameness]

[nooblet333]

Beef stew looks great Mrs. G !

[Jii]

Made some spicy (chili, coriander seeds, fennel, black pepper) baked sweet potato and zuchini, guacamole and chicken accompanied by a bottle of Brooklyn Local 2. It was delicious!

[Madame Buttonfly]

Masterchef!  IJ, the pressure's on…..
