Testing out my new BBQ with some skirt steak

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Where's the BBQ chicken at 

[Potato]

Lol, chicken. Who BBQs chicken?

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Unless it's chicken wings

[Potato]

Grew some tomatoes, chilis and some mini capsicums (bell peppers I think you lot call them).





Cooking some pasta sauce today too while working from home.

Just ordered some oak sawdust so I can start cold smoking cheese and olives and other stuff.

Will post updates on my journey towards botulism.

I made corned beef today and didn't want to throw away the leftover liquid, so I threw some split yellow peas in and some more vegetables and a couple of chilis and am going to see if it will turn out.



It could be a disaster or it could be great.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Where's the rice. 

[Potato]

I'm kind of trying for a dhal-type outcome. Will make some rice to go with it later.

[Potato]

Task was successful.

A little salty because of the corned beef base, but it tastes excellent and will be nice now that the weather has turned cold.

Photos don't do the colour justice. It's a lovely vibrant yellow which is very pleasing on the eye.

Chilis give it a nice tingle on the tongue too.

Big football (rugby league) game on tonight (Queenslander!!!!), so I made a big pot of chili con carne for tacos and nachos. 

Fry some garlic, onion and capsicum in olive oil.


As some sliced chillis


Add the meat (I usually like a mix of diced and ground beef, but went with only ground beef this time.


Add chili spice mix (garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, coriander)


Cook on high until spices are mixed through and meat is browned.


Add red kidney beans


Cook until beans start to get tender


Add tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. 


Add beef stock


Simmer until it's thick and flavours have combined

Weird. I made chili yesterday as well. 
Never sauteed my chilis with the onion - may try it next time. 
I use ground pork.

[Potato]

I often use a mixture of pork and beef like I do for Bolognese. I guess that's the nature of chili is that you use whatever you have at hand. 

I usually add the chillis later too, but they just happened to be there when I was cutting the onion and garlic so I threw them in all together.

Baked some bread today.

It's cold here so it was difficult to get it to rise properly. 

[Potato]

Tester batch of cold smoked olives just went on

[benji]

They came out with a new kind of apple, no really, I've been getting them lately and they're pretty good. If you see them you should get some so the chuds can't force us back to the old bland cishet types of apples that have ties to capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy.

[Potato]

They look nice, but it's Pink Lady apples for me.

KFC introduced secret recipe for their tenders.

Flavor is good, but the tenders are still rubbery.

Made frijoles while working from home today.



Red kidney beans, onion, garlic, salt.

Cooked in the slow cooker/crock pot for about 4 hours on high covered in water.

Transferred to the big saucepan to cook the remaining water off.

Once the beans were nice and soft, I got the stick blender out to break it all down quicker.

Now I am just frying those fuckers down into that lovely thick paste.

Cooking Osso Buco on a lazy wet Saturday

[Cauliflower Of Love]

I tried cooking with headphones on the other day.

What an exercise in frustration.  

Fuck that. I need to hear my sizzles.

[Potato]

Yes. Cooking is a process which uses all 5 senses.

Christmas cooking underway. 

Only a small gathering for lunch this year as most family are away. 

Decided to make chicken and lamb yiros.

Marinated in Greek yoghurt with garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, red wine vinegar and olive oil.





Meat is cooking, got Greek lemon potatoes on and some cheeky village sausages on for snacks. 

Made some salads and will eat in a couple hours.
