Playing with my food-
So, I realize that this is an abomination.
2 eggs & whipping cream, whipped.
2 eggs whole, cracked into the batter.
Pour over the griddle, and fold over the whole eggs, flip & whatnot to desired doneness.
A dippy egg omelet.

5 lbs of Texas Red. No tomatoes, no beans.
Dried cascabel, guajillo & ancho peppers, a couple serranos lightly torched before joining, a white onion, a couple cloves of garlic, cumin and homemade post oak smoked black pepper.
3lbs of leftover smoked brisket, 2 lbs of ground sirloin browned with kosher salt and brisket tallow.
She may not be the prettiest in the food porn thread, but she’s good at what she does.

Leftovers.
Grilled on italian bread: pizza cheese & asiago drizzled with white truffle oil. Chicken breast with basil, black peppy and a nice squirt of lemon juice.
Dark & brutal, but also delicious, light, and exquisite with its contrasts . BDSM Chicken sammich.

I’m having a hard time seeing the dark and brutal there. Maybe on some pumpernickel.
But it does sound delicious.
I miss carbs and fats right now.

Scrambled eggs from the 3 year old.
Over medium from the 5 year old.
Less photogenic, but some chicken thighs marinated in onion juice and cinnamon, seared then braised over a bed of charred tomatoes and onions.
An interesting regional recipe from Musa Dağdeviren’s “The Turkish Cookbook”

The truffle & asiago. They’re strong flavors that I categorize as “dark”. Citrus, basil, vanilla & others (to me) are like light, bright colors.

Oh god, I’m such a man-child I dont even know what joke to make.
But seriously, I’d eat it. If you can share the recipe and say what you didn’t like, I’m happy to share some other variations.

Thanks!
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 3 cups finely shredded zucchini* (see note below)
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup dark cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Bake at 350 for 50-60 mins.
(I omitted the nutmeg and mini chips.)
The outside of the cake is very tough (which is weird), not sweet, and fairly dry.
It’s definitely edible just not as good as my other recipe. I think oil would have been better than butter. There’s another recipe I have saved on Pinterest that uses sour cream. I will try that one next time.

oil makes more moist cakes and 1/2 cup is a lot of cocoa powder. The amount of liquid seems surprisingly low, even with moisture coming from the zucchini.
The tough exterior might be due to overmixing and the egg content. 3 eggs is a lot.

My wife is not a big dinner eater. She likes beef once in awhile. So, for Mother’s Day I made her a yellow curry. Which is great, because she likes it, and I have acquired a taste.

From a tasting menu the other night:
I don’t think I’ll ever understand dishes like this.
Fried sturgeon, wrapped in gold leaf, topped with sturgeon caviar. With a tartar sauce made with ramps (it’s that season) and spring onion. A take on “filet-o-fish”.
It was good, not amazing, but so over the top. I’m sure there’s some customer it appeals to.
There were some great things on that menu though, like a coulotte steak with a black garlic jus. I’ve always felt like mayu is an underutilized flavor [for now].
Probably the best single item was a bite size cannoli with whipped chèvre, the perfect balance of white and black sesame seeds on one end, and salmon roe on the other.
But that gold leaf, seriously, lol.

Sounds like an amazing dinner!
Gold leaf is too much IMO, it adds no flavour.

Ahahahaha! What the fuck is that?
I’m glad you enjoyed some items, and hopefully had a fun outing, but if we’re calling food porn, that’s bukakke on a plate.
