Also. Lemon/vodka/mint sorbet. This shouldn't be too hard to make at home either...

I'm from an area that's supposed to have some of the best sourdough in the world. Like I said, you'd have to go out of your way to get normal bread at a location, sourdough is the "normal" bread here. I've had cheap stuff, expensive stuff, and "gourmet" stuff at some fancy restaurants/local bakeries. I just don't like it.

I tend to like everything that I eat so it's actually a bit odd that I would dislike something. Virtually any fruit, vegetable, meat whether cooked or raw, etc... I never shy away from eating something and enjoy almost everything. There's just something about it that I dislike. It's overpowering in sour flavor. I tend to like some sour things, but actually can't stomach "sour" beers either.

Ooh, I should visit some time... any renowned brands/bakeries I could Google?

Tastes do differ huh.

Interesting. How about sour cream? Fermented foods? Lemon beer?

I'm not a fan of beer overall but I love the latter. Quite different from the kind of sour in that dough though.

I just made some salmon fillet, roasted peppers and fries onions about an hour and a half ago. I did not put salt on the salmon even though I could have. No infusions this time either. Again, only posting because I was exchanging recipes with a longtime friend.

Aaa that looks nice. Not all charred either, perfect texture and everything. ;)

Are those bell peppers? Cooked or raw?

Yes. Boiled and salted.

Nice. don't think I've ever tried them that way. At least not whole.

but is it gluten free @Cyberdevil

looks good, not a fan of tuna, but I've only had the shredded processed stuff that comes in cans, a fresh fillet is probably as appetizing as it looks

based and fishpilled. You should try Dr. Sumir Thripi Chandra's Mango-Salsa Salmon sometime, a culinary classic!

Not just any type of bell peppers, but sweet mini bell peppers. About 3-5x more flavorful than normal bell peppers.

This turned out really good. Instead of marinating the chicken I just added all of the marinade ingredients into the sauce ingredients. I made the chicken in an instapot and then cubed it up into the butter sauce to simmer.

Could use a bit more spice, but overall one of the better ones I've made.

Probably no. :/

Yeah the real thing is surprisingly different. They don't cook it all the way either, and they serve it entirely raw in salads for example. If you cook it to the point of conservation it's just dry and chunky. Though I like that too...

But the real thing's way better. Also feels super nutritious.

If you provide a recipe or image to go by I shall so do. ;) Sounds nice.

Had some palak paneer yesterday btw, really good. Assuming it wasn't near as spicy as the real Indian version would be though.

You know your bell peppers! As expected of Dr. Sumir Thripi Chandra.

Who all has experience using Dutch ovens?

Made a pot roast yesterday, and while it tasted good, the meat didn't fall apart like some of the great pot roasts I've had. Anyone have tips or tricks, or other things they do with dutch ovens?

Ooh, cast iron cooking pots... didn't know that term for it.

We do have a similar pot, but pretty much only for popcorn and stews so far. Usually leave them to simmer a long time. Tomato brings out a little iron flavor from the pot... no idea what to recommend for pot roast in particular though, maybe length of cooking could be key here too. Takes some time to warm up.

I asked my mom her secret, she said she cooks it all day and uses very little liquid. I had it 5 hours in the oven and had liquid half way up.

Mine in particular was better the next day after I sliced it up, pan fried it, put it on some raisin bread with goat cheese and raspberry jam. Weird I know, but so good.

I say long cooking time but don't think we've ever tried anything above 1-2 hours! That's impressive... we open the lid to get rid of excess liquid though.

That raspberry jam seems like the one real surprise combo addition... you've got all the essential tastes too, sweet sour salt and spicy. Doesn't seem like a bad combo.

Simple but nutritious foods. :) What do you usually mix for those? New combinations all the time?

Kiwi-san, what is your favorite thing to make for dinner? I will make it and post pictures here.

You're making me hungry for apple sauce. But not regular apple sauce, the apple sauce I make from boiling apples, pears, cinnamon sticks, and a touch of maple syrup, making apple cider. Then blending the apples and pears into apple sauce.

Less sweet than store bought apple sauce, plus delicious apple cider.

My favorite meal is spaghetti, but my favorite thing to cook with is chicken and potatoes because of all the different varieties/spices you can implement. ☺️

Do you have any good recipes for chicken and potatoes? I will make it look yummy I promise.

That sounds amazing.

How do you separate the cider I wonder? Do you leave it to ferment after that? How long does it take?

Easy ones are "one pan sheet meals" what where you cook chicken, green beans, and potatoes on a sheet pan and sprinkle seasoning (I like Italian) over top. It tastes delicious. Give "one pan chicken sheet meals" a Google :)

Just the hot non-alcoholic cider, but I do add spiced rum to it.

I leave the apples and pears in half, and use whole cinnamon sticks. Then you can either take them out with a slotted spoon or use a colander. Just remember to put a container underneath to catch the hot cider. XD

Ah not too complicated after all. Was thinking maybe you need to get rid of all bigger particles before fermentation so it doesn't go bad. But you can make cider like this too hmm... I'll definitely give this a try.

Got a box of spices for Christmas and I've been implementing them into my meals!

breakfast for dinner; scrambled eggs, bacon, fried breakfast potatoes + ketchup. 🤪

Why do you have poison in your spice cabinet?

Ahahaha you can't hang w cilantro boo?

It's just the worst.

Those other spice mixtures look badass though.

I currently have a man-sore throat. Similar to the sore throat women get, only a billion times worse. Regular tea with lemon and honey, and salt water gargling are only offering short temporary relief. So I've boiled some fresh ginger, lemon, apple, honey, and Irish whiskey.

What do you girls and guys do for sore throats?

Gargle warm water w/ salt sprinkled into it 😵
