2023 - Week 21 Cooking Results

Sausage

All Pork! All Good!

Sloppy Sammys

Good as almost always.

Skillet Broccoli Macaroni and Cheese

I would like to see a version of this that uses sodium citrate, but generally this was good.

Chickpea Salad Sandwiches

This was ok.

Then I added horseradish mustard, then it added a nice zing to it.

That with the mildly pickled onions, good things.

Chili Crunch Carbonara

While I know Dave Chang has often talked a lot about not going people exact measurements for this that and the other thing, and people should just know this. The problem is that even those of us who like cooking, think about cooking all the time. I may try this again, but looking at it, and think about what I should do, I just didn’t want to think that hard and just gave it a pass.

As part of the Burial of Chris, they had a get together after and brought in his favorite sandwich from the Miles Inn. This is just down the way from where Chris’s grandmother lived and where his aunt? lives now. Often times it’s hard to explain why someone likes a thing, if they grew up with it (ex: my semi-desire for a vegetable filled meat loaf), but this is clear why they are good. The Charlie Boys are a loose meat sandwich which are a thing in Sioux City. The delight of something that is so distinctively peppery, but also not so overwhelming that it over takes the other parts (mustard, catsup, pickles, cheese, bun), you can taste all the parts, but they all merge to be a wonderful thing.
