Made a soy sauce reduction (soy, mirin, ginger, red pepper flake, raw sugar) put on salmon and air fried. Stir fried rice and veggies with a little soy and some of the reduction. 🤤

The food described in the post is plated in a square bowl. The salmon has a nice glaze from the reduction and the rice has nice crispy bits

Got a sourdough starter going again. First bake with it. Added a little yeast to it since didn’t have time for slow ferment. Done on baking steel at 425 no steam. Need steam or Dutch oven for better spring. And gotta work on my scoring

Mine is “organized” mainly by flavor profile or commonly used together. I cook 98% of the time. My chaos demon Mrs got those Penzeys spices and thought she’d help arrange where they went. She moved everything. 🤦‍♂️ This is after I moved it back and worked her stuff in. Notice the Bo’s seasoning

I refuse to let the news bring me down from my high after seeing @imwithherband.bsky.social tonight in the #Strand Theater at the Appell Center For The Performing Arts. One of the best shows I’ve heard and seen. And the lighting design for a bluegrass/folk show was off the chart.

3 amazingly talented women holding their instruments are backlit by multiple bright white lights diffused by a soft haze of stage fog

A large 100 year old theaters ceiling is lit by blue stage lights that are projecting a geometric design while the band plays on the stage below.

Yeah this right here. Fox News still trying to patch up those cracks in the foundation to keep it from crumbling as seen this morning

Made a loaf of #bread yesterday. Started with KA French Style Country Bread poolish. Dough ended up 50 white, 40 ww, 10 rye. Threw in a couple bowl folds. One shaping and 1hr final proof in basket kept crumb closed, but it’s very soft with just enough chew.

Here’s one I made at home and wrote up. Not quite a full “recipe” but for those familiar with cooking it’ll get you there. I make this a couple of times a year. I add fresh grated ginger now. Need to add that to recipe

Picture for recipe as follows: Chicken and Rice soup with Bok Choy
★★★★★
Chicken, Rice, Soups
INGREDIENTS

Chicken pieces
Exotic rice blend (white, brown, red, wild)
Mushrooms
Bok Choy
Kombu
Chives
DIRECTIONS

Here I made a delicious soup by cooking down a chicken back and a breast to make the broth (a piece of kombu was simmered for 10minutes while making the broth) and added in our rice blend. When the rice was almost done I added chopped mixed mushrooms and box choy. I garnished with chives.

I’m not crazy that when I opened up an email and saw this shirt advertised that I said WTF am I? It’s just a little to reminiscent of certain iconography, medallions, and statues, isn’t it? Or am I just looking at it to hard?

An add for t-shirts called soaring Eagle. The back of the t-shirts have an emblem of a black line art Eagle with folded wings and head turned to left.
