A Cooking Thread?
GarandMarine:
My only regret is picking Flounder over Cod or Halibut for the white fish. It tastes okay, but just isn't as yummy as good cod or halibut.
Why can't you eat delicious sea food at home Welu?
Welu:
Partner hates fish and refuses to eat it. He doesn't even like the smell of any kind. When he was working I could cook it for myself when having dinner alone but now we eat almost every meal together. If we're eating out or I'm at my parents I'll get it but that's maybe two or three times a month.
Lines:
I love fish, but I do hate the way some of it stinks up the house. (I'm remembering when my mom would cook scallops while I was out and I'd come home to the smell. Like coming home after someone has cooked bacon only it's not pleasant like bacon.)

We were feeling lazy so we decided to try out a variation on this chicken-in-milk thing:

It looked a little manky, but smelled and tasted delicious. And it was so ridiculously simple! The effort-to-yums ratio was very very low. Made it a little more Indian, served it with some nice spiced rice and had chocolate and some moscatel for dessert.
Got some oxtail for cheap and it's now in the oven being braised with a buncha other ingredients.
Lessons learned this weekend: I should use sage and lemon more often; I love cinnamon in almost all dishes; ditto for nutmeg.

I experimented with a few fun things this weekend!
On Saturday night I made stuffed peppers for the first time (since I only started eating peppers in general a few months ago). They were simple and delicious! My head was spinning a little bit from all the different variations on the recipe but I went with the simpler idea and it turned out wonderful. Just ground beef, brown rice, chopped garlic and tomato sauce. Topped with some mozzarella in the last 10 min of baking and then sprinkled with some parmesan. It was delicious but for experimentation purposes I think I'll branch out next time and change up the recipe a bit. Maybe add corn and black beans and top with cheddar and chili powder. Mmmm...
To serve with the peppers, I got really brave and decided to try a recipe I found in my favorite cookbook for garlic. It's prepared as a side dish instead of just another way to add flavor. You break it apart and roast the cloves in olive oil. They came out sooooo smooth and creamy and delicious. I botched some of the prep somehow because one of the cloves exploded lol but the rest were tasty!
Yesterday I decided to be brave with meat.....much harder for me than veggies because of the squick factor. I threw some bone-in pork shoulder into the slow cooker with some sweet and sour sauce. When it was just about done, I de-boned everything and cut the fat off, then put it in a foil lined dish and stuck it in the oven at 450 for 10 minutes. It was succulent and juicy but all the edges were crispy. Served it over the leftover brown rice with more sauce and some pineapple chunks.
