Masamune curry. Honestly 80%+ of the flavor comes from the Maesri curry paste. Really good and surprisingly easy 🍜 #food #cooking
Maesri curry paste and a bunch of uncut veggies

I also did pork katsu tonight. Homemade tonkatsu sauce is great (hummus is okay too) Happy I could get a good crust with relatively low oil because it's scary to fry with a lot 🍜 #food #cooking
Fry station. Have some pounded out thick-cut tenderloin, corn starch+ flour, egg+buttermilk, and panko+spices

I think I may have put too much non-egg in the egg mix but it still turned out wellCutlets being fried in a small-ish amount of oil. I usually do this in the wok but it makes me nervous because of the rounded shape. This is much saferCutlets all crisped up. I thought I overdid them a bit but they turned out goodFinal plating with cabbage, rice, and some katsu sauce (and hummus)

I got the katsu sauce recipe from Babish (Alvin) and never looked back. Oddly I have a hard time finding another katsu recipe that has fruit and isn't just ketchup+Worcestershire:

Spent part of the day boiling some chickpeas for hummus. I've got a giant tub of dried chickpeas from 2020 I'm trying to go through (it's so much chickpea...) Good hummus tho. We'll see how it is after it cools down 🍜 #food #cooking
The giant tub of chickpeas in question. This recipe is only about a cup of chickpeas 😐 I need to make more bean saladDried peas after soaking. Just a little baking soda and salt in waterBoiled for about 2 hours with some aromatics. The carrots and garlic and some of the onion got blended too

First time making rice balls using the power of love (kuromi x my melody rice ball maker). 3 flavors: chicken with tonkatsu sauce, egg salad, and classic tuna salad Real tasty but a little rice heavy (but I guess that's the point) 🍜 #food #cooking
3 flavors
Chicken with some homemade tonkatsu sauce. This is just regular cooked chicken mixed with it and some of them I added some cabbage. It was fine, but the least of the 3

Classic tuna mayo (tuna, mayo, and some spices). 

Egg salad (egg, mayo). Surprisingly really really good but maybe that's cuz I haven't had egg salad in a whileRice and the rice ball maker provided by my SiL which worked surprisingly wellAll the rice balls I could get out of 2 cups of dry rice. Pretty good for my first time, but I'm sure next time will go betterAdded some furikake. Later ate it with some fermented chili paste too 💯💯💯

Stir fry, glad I feel well and rested enough to do some cooking again (that isn't just like, sandwiches) Always worried I added too much salt and it never turns out to be enough salt 🍜 #food #cooking
Velveted chicken, a bunch of allium, carrots and red bell pepper. Only thing I'd change is cutting the carrots into rounds instead of doing a roll cutChicken has been blanched and seared and the alliums are cooking in the wok. I pretty much leave it on max heat the entire timeHere's the result pre-sauce. I always end up making a huge amount but we ended up eating more than halfDidn't get plate shots, but here's what was left over. Could have used more cornstarch to thicken the sauce

This post inspired me to go get some Ajvar and try it out It's pretty bitter, but I can also akin that to me not really liking eggplant. Gonna give it the ol' college try on whatever applications I can find, so guacamole today It adds a really nice flavor - maybe this is how I start to like 🍆
Azbar I bought at a local Euro mart. They had a surprising varietyUpside down pre-guacamole with a big glob of a Ajvar

I don't have a picture of it mixed because the color was so unappealing but it did taste good!

I read the article. As an Al, I'll say: Mamdani's line about kids needing to "wrestle with tough problems on their own" is exactly what I do. I don't think early Al is inevitable either - I think the struggle IS the learning. Not all of us in the industry agree that it's necessary.

Chicken pot pie soup with biscuits tonight. It came out exceptionally well, just don't tell my Dr about the butter and cream 👀 🍜 #food #cooking
Biscuits all rolled and cut. I used the ATK recipe

I think it's this recipe:
https://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/8496-ultimate-flaky-buttermilk-biscuits

But I copied it from an old Babish video since I don't have an ATK account (lol):
https://youtu.be/NMbMT9tY8-QDelightfully flakey. Generally do recommend adding a bit more salt than the recipeIt doesn't look like much without stirring, but this soup was bomb

I kinda used the below YouTube short recipe along with some inspo from another?
https://youtube.com/shorts/A6gXjkbPsjY
https://natashaskitchen.com/chicken-pot-pie-soup/

That said, I kinda just went for it. I added peas and a can of straw mushrooms (I recommend highly), and I used less roux and more water so it wasn't nearly as thick. I also always increase the veggies substantially and in this one I used a bunch of sage and tetragon which was a great flavor

My bowl and a side of biscuit. You can actually see the chunks in this one

I also ended up with a gallon of extra soup if anyone wants some 😅

More red sauce n spaghetti, gets better every time I make it That being said, I used so much onion and garlic it kinda fumigated the house for 4 hours, but aside from that, great result 👌 🍜 #food #cooking
Various alliums cooking in a bunch of olive oil (not using butter to try and be slightly healthier)

I used a big onion, a whole head of garlic, and all the leftover onion in the fridge so it was....pungentSauce after cooking for 4 hours

I have a OnePlus (android) and if I hold the home button I can do text capture. I'm not sure how it works the same on other phones
Screenshot of the post with one of the words highlighted

Holding the home button brings up a screen that lets you select and copy text either on a post or in images. It lets you do a quick translate as wellWhat it looks like after holding the home button - there's a button for translation and song identification (for some reason)

I think that's true for a lot of things too. For the most part, the only person who will care about the things you do is you. It'll be difficult to stay motivated if you can't accept that.

Good tacos. Did trim q bunch of fat off the cheeks but that seems to be normal (I also made some pickled onion and radish) Eventually I might try a basic barbacoa with no peppers or onion or anything since I think that's how it's usually made with cheek meat 🍜 #food #cooking
Barbacoa after going for about 5.5 hours. Recipe is below and some more info is in the original post

Maybe the most worrying part is that I dropped a star anise in there when cooking and I haven't been able to find it ._.Some fresh tortillas for the tacos. These are just from the storeSome tacos with a lot of toppings and some pickled radishes that look a little bit like sliced sausage

Trying to use more varied proteins, so here's some Mexican (Spanish) lentils. They're Mexican cuz I used Mexican Chorizo instead of Spanish Surprisingly good. Goes great with Cheese and sour cream 🍜 #food #cooking
Mise en plais. Carrots and potatoes at the top; onions, bell peppers and leek (didn't have celery) at the bottom; a cup of lentils and seasonings

The recipe is from Kenji at this YouTube short. Made a short transcription below

Ingredients:
* 1 Spanish chorizo or sausage
* .25 cup olive oil
* .5 onion chopped
* 2 celery stalks chopped
* 1 red bell pepper chopped
* 3 garlic cloves sliced thinly
* 2-3 carrots with a roll cut
* 1 tbsp tomato paste
* .5 tbsp smoked paprika
* 1 bay leaf
* 1-2 gold Yukon potato cubed
* 1 cup lentils
* 1 quart water or chicken stock
* 1 tbsp Sherry vinegar (or any other type of vinegar)
* Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish:
* Parsley
* Avocado
* Crema or sour cream
* Cheese like cotija

Instructions
1) chop Spanish chorizo and add to a hot pan with olive oil for searing

2) remove chorizo (leave oil) and toss in onion, celery, pepper, and garlic. Simmer for 5m

3) add in tomato paste and smoked paprika and cook for 2 minutes to cook out raw tomato flavor

4) add lentils, carrots, potatoes, liquid, bay leaf, and cook for 20m

5) add chorizo back in and add a splash of Sherry vinegar and parsley at the endSauteing the vegetables as the Mexican chorizo waits nearbyCooked soup all together. Has a great stew-like consistencyBowl with some jasmine rice. Goes great with sour cream and cheese and would probably also go great with avocado

So I had a watermelon at home and my wife bought a watermelon on the side of the road while she was out so now I have a shitton of watermelon and agua fresca. My fridge is too full 🍉😐🍉
Watermelons - one partially cut up and the other patently waitingHere's the cut up part of the watermelon and the rind which I just threw into one of our plantersThe process of agua fresca-ing

I've used batches and a blender in the past but this time I just used an immersion blender and it was so stupidly much faster6 liters of agua fresca we now have to drink. Maybe I'll take some of it for ice cubes...

Made the tandoori chicken. Flavor's great, though it's a little dry (owing to the white meat). Of course, if I turn it into butter chicken dryness is no longer an issue Honestly it seems like it was a good amount of Greek yogurt. I saved the juice after broiling for....something 🍜 #food #cooking
Pre-broiled chicken on a tray

I don't have a grill but even if I did this is easier 🤷 I also didn't use a grill rack because I did not want to clean a grill rackPost-broiled chicken. Got some okay char on it

Finally back to do some cooking, and I made some Kenji salmon chowder. Basically clam chowder with Salmon instead. Made this partially because my wife and her sister like bread bowls Real tasty; I don't really like clams, but this was great with cubed salmon. 🍜 #food #cooking
Prepping veggies (table is a bit cluttered here)

Recipe - one is the recipe page and the other is a YouTube link to Kenji where he makes it

Some things I changed from the written recipe:
* Replaced celery with carrot and leek
* Added cream (like in the video)
* Pancetta  instead of bacon (like the video)
* Sprig of thyme (like the video)
* Squirt of lemon juice at the end (like the video)
