2024 - Week 14 Cooking Results

Sausage

As always, good things.

Tuna Steaks

I went to a different hy-vee in hopes that I would be able to find some ingredients I want for recipes that look good, and was unable to find them, however I did get some tuna steaks that were shockingly similar in size, as opposed to what normally happens, where one is big and one is small. I added a bit of soy sauce to each side and baked them off. I served them with some greens.

Lamb Burgers

Salt, pepper, a bit of momofuku tingly salt, paired with a cheese and we had a bit of delicious dinner.

Egg Salad (vaguely based on)

I recently saw Shannon make an egg salad, and thought it would be a good thing. It was, perhaps, a bit more liquid then I would have liked, but not to much, just enough to be a bit annoying, even so, the flavor was good.

Hummus (for Shannon)

This was a bit different form her last one, and I think looked better. Also I had lemons, unlike last time when I had to use a vinegar (beach rose) as the acid. I once again used the beechwood smoked salt, to get it up to that level, but also dusted it with smoked hot paprika. Which looked nice over the hummus. This more successful, judging by the amount taken, then last time.

Pork tacos with orange salsa

I tried to segment t and remove the membranes, and then gave up and ate the orange and then put the ingratiates as things to add or without he pork. I did not have the sazon, so I skipped that. I thought I had another type, but after a cupboard search it didn’t appear so. Even so, it was still a good combination and pretty good meal, even though I barely followed the recipe.

Meatloaf

Should I have made this, perhaps not as tall as I did. Yes, it would’ve saved on cooking time, but it looked quite good as I used lamb, beef and pork as the mixture., but the rest was mostly the same, I swapped the chili powder and cayenne for chipotle powder. I also made mashed potatoes using the last of the potatoes that I had bought. While cooking the kitchen go a bit warm, but it was nice enough outside I opened a window in the kitchen and two in the living room to create a nice breeze through he house. Great meatloaf, looking forward to having some leftover sandwiches.

During the Action Movie Saturday, for Sisu (excellent), I had intended to sip on some wine, but the movie was fast paced enough that I didn’t think I could take a break. I ended up drinking it later that night.
