Delicious & Dragons

Some smart-ass janitor said this once. While it’s hard to disagree, I’m not sure how to feel about the ongoing to onus to provide pho to quell the hungry masses. But this is the last batch for the moment.

Not an original recipe, but this one’s fun. Instead of just putting cheese on the inside you go the extra mile and, dun-dun, put cheese on the outside and fry it in the pan until it gets all nice and crispy. Can there be a thing as too much cheese? Maybe. Possibly. But until you explore where that frontier is you’ll never find out.

Fun side effect of making pho – you end up with a bunch of fall off the bone tender meat that you can then use for other dishes. Like these burritos.

Yearly tradition, slowly improving the recipe, still as comforting as ever.

I was asked to bake some bread, so I went the extra mile and revived the close to 5 year old sourdough I had dried and stored in the freezer. Miraculously worked, even if the timing of the dough ended up being tricky and it feels like I overproofed both loaves. Ah well, still great bread.

The problem with making those as a gift is that you run the risk of snacking them all by yourself. The solution to this is to just make a crapton of them. A bit of salt, cinnamon and orange zest really adds to the caramel-y taste. *scrunch*

Somewhere I imagine there’s a swamp hag trading great grilled cheese sandwiches for people’s soul or something. Might be worth it, just sayin’.

Hm, this one worked out nicely. Adding the proper amount of cheese and one egg to the potato topping makes for a nice crust. I should repeat this someday.

There’s shoyu ramen, shio ramen, miso ramen, tonkotsu ramen, so what’s this one? Dump-stuff-from-the-fridge-into-some-vague-hot-broth ramen, evidently.

…needed to be satisfied. Or is it a Schnitzel? Eh, either way, there’s something about crispy fried breaded cutlets that really tickles the comfort zone of your food brain. Hmmm… 🙂
