What are you cooking?

Thanks, I'm happy with and proud of the results. I've worked on a lot of GF baking recipes in the last year, but some of them I didn't really document my process well and was experimenting a lot with types of GF flour blends and binders. Now I have my ingredients and development process locked in well, and I'm documenting my process meticulously. So I feel like this focaccia is locked in, I can fiddle with the recipe a bit if I want to optimize the order of operations or adjust the flavor a bit, and it won't drastically change the results.

I have a list of old recipes I want to do the same with and new ones I want to try. A standard artisan loaf, hoagie rolls, sliced toasting bread, bagels, hamburger buns. They're all mostly just slight tweaks to ingredient proportions and different techniques, but I have a good solid recipe analysis and development process now. I feel like I can kinda see the matrix with baking recipes now, so it's not so daunting lol

Much easier go of it today because of the pre-prep. Mashed potatoes with roasted garlic, chives, and rosemary; green bean casserole with homemade mushroom cream stuff; roasted Brussels sprouts with garlic and thyme; bread dressing (not stuffing since not inserted in the bird) with the full Simon & Garfunkel parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, and a little oregano; and for missus fission and the hound, roast turkey and giblet gravy. All the herbs but thyme and parsley from our little herb garden—the thyme died, so maybe we plan both in the spring.

Hope everyone under the Thanksgiving regime is enjoying or at least surviving the holiday.

Mostly the same meal again. The meat packing people left the giblets out of the bird though, horribly upsetting Missus Fission’s giblet gravy designs. It’s her favorite part of the meal. Had to get un out and get prepared stuff. Pumpkin-pie cheesecake for dessert.

Avoided Thanksgiving swallobligation. Tonight, fresco jalapeños long-sliced, garlic, and cilantro in pan with olive oil. Smoked paprika and cumin. Splash of cider vinegar, drops of soy sauce. Beans from can, mashed, and little water. Mm-hm. 🌶

First Thanksgiving in 8 years that I didn't have to roast an enormous 20 lb turkey and make the giblet gravy and then use the carcass to make turkey stock, as the family that hosts our friendsgiving moved away. A little bittersweet but grateful not to have to wrestle with an Enormous Bird.

Instead I roasted a little 5 lb chicken, some sweet and normal potatoes, green beans, and made a little boxed stuffing. An easier, quieter Thanksgiving.

is freezer-burnt ground meat salvageable

is freezer-burnt ground meat salvageable

Probably yes. Make chili, that's what chili was originally intended for (to cover up/use up suspect meat.)

I've been stuck inside because of snow storms lately, so I was doing a ton of batch cooking to throw together frozen meals and just have food on hand that I can use as ingredients or just heat up together for an easy dinner. I baked gluten free focaccia, make a big batch of Japanese style curry with chicken, potatoes, onions, and carrots, a big batch of yellow rice, roasted the last of the red potatoes I had and a big tray of chicken drumsticks, made stock and gravy, and pickled some red onions.
