WoW! did not expect that. 10 out of 10. plus 10 for the bun. Smashing!

[RAGER]

It was really good. Having the other half today. We'll see how it tastes reheated.

[Muffin Man]

that "cheese hinge" is wild. translucent webbing and whatever is going on there. fascinating. could be something one might see in glass-blowing studio. but that bun...really tops the work.

[mortlock]

Huge chore done. Cleaning out and actual cleaning of the fridges. Been putting it off. Skipped a grocery week and then some cuz we were out of town and then I just made do with what we had. Worked out cuz we got down to pretty much basics which made it easy to pull everything out to clean.

anyone ever try this seasoning? its killer. i was turned onto this by a former employee of a famous burger joint that is no longer around. she the one who gave me the hot sauce recipe. its the seasoning they used on their burgers and onion rings. holy shit i tried it on a burger and was instantly transported back to that place. Vic & Irvs was one of the best.

[RAGER]

Dude that's like the OG seasoning.

[RAGER]

I also did a makeshift sous vide so I could make canned tuna like product.



Turned out pretty damn good. Kept the water at about 140° for about 20 min. Capt Rick would approve.

not really. well, same ocean, so kinda close.

I'm fixin' to make Zimmern poached chicken. Whole chicken in a boiling pot then turn off the heat cover and wait 90 minutes. A lot of his ingredients I don't got so I'll wing it with what I have on hand bzzt, make a grocery run, need ginger, scallions. Supposed to be super tender. Can make dumpling mix with. I'm just going to test run it for now so no dumplings yet, at least until I find dumpling sheets.
