Food Porn thread

I always forget to take photos of things, plus they never seem to look good. But I have a few from when I smoke stuff.

America's Test Kitchen would probably be right up your alley.

Some porn you look at just to say "WTF???"

Stuffed cabbage.

No pictures because they were too good to not eat right away

Made this for Mrs Nohome as a late Valentines day treat.

The stuff takes like 5 hours to make and its not 5 hours where you go away and come back, you gotta baby-sit the dams thing

berkeley is it good.

Nothing sounds so good right now as a big slab of baked macaroni and cheese, with a bunch of black pepper, some stewed tomatoes on top, and some sour cream on the side.

From scratch chocolate cupcakes and buttercream frosting. Stupid rich. My first effort.

Still have a sugar high from the one I ate.

Leftover pot roast, sautéed onions, Muenster cheese, on Italian bread. 

Two baking potatoes, each cut into 8 wedges.  Roll around in a bit of olive oil on a sheet pan, sprinkle with crushed red pepper, basil and black pepper (we don't use salt, but go ahead).  Bake at 425' tossing occasionally, sprinkle with a bit of parmesian before serving.  A dollup of Sour Cream make them go down easier.

Too cold to BBQ, put the beefies under the broiler.

Me and EvanB​​ drunkenly making cheburek.

I also have 2lb of fresh Polish kielbasa, and 2lb of pierogie, in case/inevitably when we berk this up

TIL that I should not cook.

Well, I have known this for a long time. But when I found myself licking mayonez off of the cat, I realized something:

Knurled, leave the cooking to literally anybody else

As a kindred spririt this first one is for you. I am going to dump some of my recipes, not stuff I made today, but stuff we make repeatedly.

This is really  easy:

Tuscan Soup

Ingredients:

6 cups chicken broth

1 onion, chopped

3 (3.5 ounce) links spicy Italian sausage

3 large potatoes, cubed

1 bunch fresh spinach, washed and chopped

1/4 cup evaporated milk

salt to taste

ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Remove skin from sausage and crumble into frying pan. Add chopped onion,

and cook over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. If you are trying

to cut fat, remove meat from pan, place in a colander, and rinse under cold water.

(I used olive oil in the pan)

2. Place meat in a large pot; add stock and potatoes. Boil until potato is cooked.

(I dipped the onion/meat out and didn’t add much of the olive oil)

3. Add spinach. Continue boiling until spinach is lightly cooked.

4. Remove soup from heat, stir in evaporated milk, and season to taste. Do not add

any salt if using canned stock. (salt was needed / taste first)

Edit -- We just buy the tray of italian sausage and add the whole thing, same with the spinach, we get a small bag and add the whole thing.

This was the first thing I really made well, as in edible, some day when you meet Pyro ask her about my meatloaf, she'll laugh and know EXACTLY what story to tell.

*Easy Whole Wheat Vegetarian Lasagne*

*************************************

Ingredients:

1 8 ounce package whole wheat lasagne noodles, cooked slightly (al dente)

1 9 ounce package frozen raw spinach

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 eggs

3 cups low-fat cottage cheese

3 cups pre-made or store-bought pasta sauce

3 cups grated low-moisture part skim mozzarella cheese

Preparation:

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.

In medium mixing bowl, beat eggs; add cottage cheese and Parmesan cheese. Spray a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Put one layer of slightly cooked lasagna noodles flat across the bottom of the baking dish. Add 1/2 the leaf spinach, pressing down lightly and evenly over noodles. Top with another layer of lasagna noodles. Top this layer of noodles with the cottage cheese mixture; add the remaining spinach. Then add the last of the lasagna noodles laid evenly on top of spinach. Spread pasta sauce evenly over the top; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Press down lightly.

Cover baking dish with foil, using foil sprayed with cooking spray and keeping foil off the center of the lasagna. Secure sides tightly over baking dish.

Bake about 1 hour 15 minutes in oven. To lightly brown the top, remove foil for a few minutes at the end of baking time.

Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
