what was the last thing you cooked?

[vi edit]

The wife was out of town for a few days and complained the food was terrible so I made her a parmesan & panko crusted rack of lamb and a lemon-asparagus risotto.

So did it...uh....taste like chicken?

 

[Dirigible]

I made some brown rice. In a rice cooker, because any other way is far too difficult.

To the utter chagrin and disappointment of every fluffy, cute little lamb in New Zealand, it did not.

I made a meatloaf tonight.
1 pound burger
1 pound spicy sausage
1 box of "herb" Stove Top Stuffing
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs

Ran all that through the food processor and made almost a paste out of of it. Threw it in the oven @ 350 for about 1 hour. Put a glaze of ketchup and mustard on there. Cooked it for another 15 minutes.

Threw it on flatbread with some bread and butter pickle slices. Yummy!

LOL- I posted that super quick meatloaf recipe some time back and got blasted. It looks goofy but isn't half bad.

F the haters. It's dericious! The food processor is the key. That gets it a texture and blended consistency you won't get mixing ingredients by hand.

Hmmm I should make meatloaf. Easy barracks food.

 

[SunnyD]

Chicken, avacado, black bean, corn and rice burritos. With goat cheese.

Food processor meatloaf, you say? Do tell...

Not much to tell. Add a broken up pound of burger. Add a broken up pound of sausage. Drop in a box of stove top stuffing. Drop in 2 eggs. Add half a cup of milk. PULSE!

Will have to pop the top and give it a couple stirs a few times since it's a load to move in the bowl. But my 14 cup cuisenart took it like a champ. It will turn the meat into something like a paste that when cooked creates a real nice...err....loafy? consistency.

You know... if you're just wandering by and not really paying attention to the conversation, one could really, REALLY take that well out of context.

Hmm, I wonder how that'd taste with rice milk (dairy allergy here). I've been looking for more meals to add to my homemade TV dinner containers, and meatloaf sounds pretty good. I've been meaning to try these Turkey Meatloaf in Muffin Cups recipe on Bodybuilding.com too:

I cook, or eat, basically everything from scratch. Or mostly scratch. The occasion we use bread, noodles or chips they're store bought but that's a rarity. So last night for dinner was: gauc, corn salsa, salmon with blue corn and flax seed chips. Everything but the chips we made. Damn tasty too.

Truthfully if you just crush the breadcrumbs and beat the eggs before you put it in, you shouldn't need the processor. I kind of like things chunky anyway.

Back to more original cooking, last week I made a meatloaf from scratch, and I "frosted" it with mashed potatoes, then put put it back in the oven to brown the peaks like a meringue. It was pretty interesting It looked a lot like this:

I'm also working on an "enchilada lasagna", but that recipe isn't quite ready yet. I made it three times and I keep finding ways to improve it

Cooked a whole chicken on the grill. Put a dry-rub on it first, butterflied it open (cut the backbone out and then squished it flat), and put it over indirect heat for awhile. Cooks through and doesn't dry out.

I'm partial to shoving a beer can up its butt while cooking on the grill.

Coconut shrimp and it was orgasmic.

:thumbsup: Recipe?

What? You don't own a cooking torch for that? YOU HACK!

Anyway, if you overbeat meringue, it will get tough (to save face when it happens to me I say it's actually a marzipan topping ) I got a good tip that you can add cream of tartar to the mixture to fix it of you overbeat it.

No cooking torch, maybe when I get into making crème brûlées.

I did have cream of tartar in the meringue. I'll try making the pie again, I'm sure.

Kids have finished it off I'm afraid (apart from the bit I'm saving for the MIL and believe me you don't want to fight her for it!).

Made a dozen soft pretzels earlier today and have a pot of chili simmering right now.

The last thing was bacon & french toast. The last different thing was roasted panko crusted okra & tomatoes. Sort of just threw it together after reading a few different recipes that didn't sound quite right. Turned out great.
