Fun Stuff > CHATTER
A Cooking Thread?
cesium133:
I tried to make bolo de rolo (a Brazilian style of roll cake with guava filling) this morning, and it did not go well:
I'm not entirely certain what went wrong (my best guess is that I didn't take into account that the humidity is very low and added too much flour), but the cakes came out way too thick, so I couldn't roll them. They tasted good, though, so I cut my losses and made a guava layer cake instead.
LTK:
I made a bunch of quesadillas this week (recipe) and they've quickly become my favourite thing to make with tortillas. You can eat them with your hands, but they don't make a mess! There's enough cheese that the ingredients stick together and baking the whole thing makes the tortilla nice and crisp which keeps it in shape and not falling apart, and there's so much dry surface area that you won't get your hands dirty and beyond a single mixing bowl, your plate and cookware won't either. I made a big bowl of filling by mixing all the ingredients and keeping it in the fridge, using it for one quesadilla at a time. The author of the recipe recommends freezing them but refrigerating the filling itself is totally fine, the first one was just as tasty as the last.
I think I might add bell peppers to the mix next time, or some other vegetable to make it less fastfoodish. Though it's still fast to make, it's literally five minutes of baking once you have the mix done. I recommend you give it a shot.

Various stuff I have made:
Aziraphale:
Is that falafel in the first shot, Hedgie? And what's in the soup in that third shot? I could use a new soup recipe...
hedgie:
Aye, that is falafel. And as far as the soup goes, I'll have to dig up the recipe. It's Thai style, in coconut milk.
Edit: I'll have to look online, since it isn't where I keep such things. My haphazard approach to cooking means that I didn't bother writing down what I *actually* did (I tend to improvise). But Thai spices and chillis, obviously, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, lemongrass, basil, not much else. I think there was chicken or vegetable stock in there as well. Low heat, obviously, and throw the softer ingredients in towards the end.
