What's for dinner?

[BrightShinyGirl]

Was the demiglace made from the bones of 40 black angus steers?

No, I don’t have time for that shit. Total prep was like 30 minutes but it was amazing.

Apparently youse guys need to take your iPhones down to the Rexall and get your digital prints processed before you can upload your pics.

I recently tossed an old film camera. Wasn't worth fiddling with and seems to be obscure and obsolete and without collector interest. No guilt.

Maybe I'll photograph the casserole bit I eat tonight from the one I made to take on my trip and then forgot and left at home. Oh well . . . .

Bone in NY strip. Still trying to master the air fryer. Low and slow then crank it at the end but started too late. Not enough char. Closer to prime rib. Oh well. Tomato zucchini casserole with low moisture mozzarella and home grown herb Italian seasoning, and a baked potato of course, sour cream and butter.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Oh. And grocery store strawberry cheesecake.

For those of you who find it so extremely challenging you've decided not to even try...

There is another thread with the same title in the GB, for people who don't want the nagging.

WE were all kicked out of the GB, remember?

It's not enforceable but I remember how unpopular those of us who want to talk politics were among that bunch of wounded heart truffle hunters and fluffies. I don't suppose that's changed any.

And of course, you DO know that if you're not interested in the contents of a thread, you can just not open/read it. Right?

The creation of the politics board really chaffed a lot of man baby butts around here.

No, first, you have to have something to tooken a picture of.


Perhaps our Fellow Poasters are on a starvation diet.

Girl, shoo. I cooked pan seared duck breast in a wine and berry sauce, duck fat fried potatoes, and green beans FROM SCRATCH in 40 minutes. Which means potatoes still in the bag, the duck on the cutting board, the green beans still frozen, and pans were cold. The red wine poached pear that went with it for dessert took 5 minutes the day before because it had to soak and infuse overnight in the poaching liquid. And whipping cream takes 4 minutes from the time you pour the cream into the bowl.

DO NOT tell me you "don't have the time for that shit." If you can spend 30 minutes doing "prep" you can cook good-looking and fantastic tasting food.

I think they're all bots what eat electrons. Amazing what AI can do these days to fool people into believing its human.

It takes Ninny girl 30 minutes to defrost the TV dinner and nuke it and get it on a plate.

There's a little family restaurant I frequent quite often. I take doggie bags to the restaurant to share some of my stuff with the staff on occasion. They appreciate it and one of the staff there has taken a serious interest in my cooking. He constantly asks what I've made for dinner lately and then says he wishes he could cook like that.

He works in a restaurant. You know, a place with professional cooks and all kinds of equipment for cooking food. And he wishes he could cook at home like I do for Sunday dinner. It's hard to wrap my head around that but I suggested that he plan and make a special meal of whatever he knows how to cook and top it off with a simple mousse for him and his GF to get him started elevating his dinners.

I explained to him about instant pudding and how first preparing it and then adding it to a bowl of whipped cream can make a special dessert.

He still hasn't tried making it.

She's not alone in that.

On your way home from work tonight, look around and see how many people are driving like lunatics just so they can get home and sit in front of the TV and drink a 12-pack of beer.

Which, if you think about it, could make a great campaign slogan - a promise to lower the cost of beer and constant FREE sports broadcasting could get you a win by a landslide.

I just found my dad's old Polaroid from the 1950's. You know, the one where you took the pic then pulled the film out and flapped it around until the image formed.

No film for it, and I don't know if you can get any. I wonder what it's worth to a collector?

Seems about right. Fleabay has them from $15 to $75.

It is like Lone Watie's hard rock candy.

Maybe I'll just finish off the Budweisers I bought for my brother in law for the 4th for dinner. I haven't had a beer in....jeez, I have no idea.

Same casserole. It looks like the one from the other night. Kicks ass, too.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Chicago deep dish pizza....downstate style. One piece did it. Had to add salt and my secret Italian herb blend. Most of the cheese, which was plentiful, was in a 7" circle. The crust went from about 1/4" in the center to about an inch at the edge. I have the same problem when I make it. 40 freaking dollars.
