haha, yes it was rolled and too frozen to unroll. There was balsamic in the marinade so it looked very dark after searing it. I am horrible with taking pics and i dont take the time to plate. You all are lightyears ahead of me

Made this at work today:



No, it’s not tapeworms- it’s bacon powder after being passed through a fine mesh strainer. Basically a 60/40 mix by mass of bacon grease/tapioca maltodextrin and salt to taste. Not sure on the chemistry, but you can do the same thing with pretty much any fat.

What are you going to use it for Brian?

I’ve got my gadgets going today.

I told my lady I’d make home corned beef for st Patrick’s Day. Forgot the recipe took 9 days so here we are a week later. It’s been in the sousvide 24 hours after a 7 day brine and will be done for dinner tomorrow. It’s the chefsteps recipe.

The slow cooker internet army has been raving about something called “Mississippi roast”. While I have time for 9day corned beef, I certainly don’t have time for 8 hour pot roast so I adjusted the recipe and did it in the pressure cooker. It’s pretty amazing but in a gross kind of way. It’s something my mom would have cooked in the late 80’s.

btc there was a place near my college that made custom cookie batches that were out of this world, and they delivered to satisfy the stoner crowd. I used to get them with peanut butter dough, white chocolate chunks and macadamia nuts. They were so good your post just reminded me of it.

Btc,

did exactly what I expected and butchered the baguettes. When mixing the dough I added water to get it to where I thought it should be, but prolly overkilled it. Well, no prolly about it. Forming the baguettes I think I could have rescued it somewhat but left it still too loose. Baguettes did not hold together at all, tried to force them a bit but did not go well. Tilted and gave up, no baguettes this time lol. Now I got a starting point, will get back at it!

We split our corned beef in two from St paddy’s day. Made the remaining half for shabbos last night, and did some banh mi rolls today for sandwiches.

Meat mountain


Ingredients getting to know each other before their arranged marriage. Bread really opened up to meat, showing a softer side 😊.



When guldens spicy brown and Jarlsberg join the party, it’s on!

With a really slack dough like this you can make ciabatta by making a loose loaf shape or focaccia by flattening it out in a sheet pan, docking with finger imprints all over, and hitting with oil/toppings.

Btc that sandwich looks off the hook

Cooks illustrated method uses one pan, you cook the pasta in water and milk and melt the cheese 4oz American and 4oz cheddar for 8oz pasta directly into the hot pasta. Works amazing.

wow super luscious looking. Does the recipe have egg?

No just cook the 1/2 lb pasta in 1.5c water 1 cup milk and then add the American cheese first with mustard and cayenne, then after it’s melted add the cheddar.

The sodium citrate in the American prevents the cheddar from breaking and getting grainy.

i found an instant pot recipe that doesn't use envelopes of ranch and au jus mix. thought i'd give it a go.

~2 lbs of chuck roast



quartered, salted & peppered



browning in butter



hanging out with their shallot friend while i deglaze the pot



right before the lid went on....it's getting steamy in here.



next installment in 90 minutes or so. still debating between eating over mashed potatoes or on a hoagie roll with melted cheese....i suppose i have a bit of time to decide.

Jack, thanks. Gotta try that, looks great.

Red, did you use a razor blade on those shallots? Damn!

btc, cheated with a mandoline...and i'm always happy when there isn't blood on the mise en place.
that thin of a slice is probably overkill when pressure cooked for ~60 minutes, but spouse really doesn't like finding bites of anything onionlike in her meals and that's my strategy to allow them to dissolve while cooking and still impart the flavor.

lid off after 60 minutes of cooking and a 20 minute rest



after smashing it a bit while letting it simmer some more to reduce the liquid



getting closer....



not a great pic, but we have the beef on a toasted hoagie roll. those are tamed jalapenos under melted smoked provolone finished under the broiler. no other condiments, and they weren't needed.

Mezetta tamed jalapeño are so delicious. Sandwiches look great.

9 day corned beef. 7 in the brine 48hrs in the SV. Came out pretty incredible. Brine didn’t get all the way in to the thicker part as seen by the weird brown teardrop in the middle of the 2nd pic. Honestly couldn’t tell the difference between the brown and the pink so I wonder if I just didn’t have enough nitrates.

All in all probably the best corned beef I’ve had. Not much work but a small fortune in spices.

How’d you like the Mississippi roast?

makes a really great sandwich, but it seemed to turn out a bit salty. didn't add more than the recipe but it was too much for our taste. also had the same experience with a kenji instant pot recipe recently. not sure if the pressure cooking magnifies the salt but i'll be taming down the amount in future efforts....i can always add more if it needs it.

this was the recipe i loosely followed: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/in...st-no-packets/
