Seared tuna steak, with a sriracha aioli, some shitty rice that came from a bag, and I had a salad.
that looks amazing. I definitely need to try my hand at tuna steaks.
Thatās dope. A few months ago I got a stand mixer (well to be honest I found it in the garage and my parents let me keep it lol). I was really close to getting an ice cream machine, but then I saw there is an ice cream machine attachment for the stand mixer. So I plan on grabbing that one of these days. Altonās banana ice cream is something Iāve wanted to try for days.
There is a potluck at work on Friday, Iām just going to bake something. Probably a pound cake or some cookies since Iāve done those a lot before. I will definitely take pics, though theyāre likely to just be plain looking food (though amazingly tasty).
EDIT: not sure if you can actually see them, but here is an album where I chronicle all the food Iāve made, though it is mostly my baked good because I never thought to take pictures of my savory foods (turkey meatloafs, country fried steak, meatballs, etc.) but because of this thread I will make sure to do just that lol.
Just made one of the best burgers ever, I definitely recommend everyone try it. I mixed minced garlic and red chilli paste into 85/15 sirloin ground beef, dusted both sides of the patties with salt, pepper, and cumin, pan fried them in olive oil to get a nice crust preventing juice leakage, added basil and garlic infused sharp cheddar cheese on top, and to make it melt fast I drizzled the pan with some Worcestershire sauce and put the lid on the pan to prevent steam from escaping. Then sauteed baby bella mushrooms, and scallions with sriracha, and oven toasted buns.

Yo that tuna steak looks awesome Iām jealous.
Iām on the internet trying to find ways to cook 6-8 burgers all at once just so I can have them for later. The fanciest thing I was going to try with them was put green olives on them.
Then I saw your burgers. My nose is bleeding, because my brain is crying, because it knows it will never have the time/dedication to make those burgers. Good on you though, man.
Hmm. Iāll contribute with my Ahhhvocado Smoothie tomorrow morning before my workout.
I guess Iāll take a picture of my leftover Orzo Salad, which I plan to have with that smoothie before the workout.
Orzo, garbanzo beans, basil leaves, red onion, diced tomatoes (used canned), cucumber, squash, olives, a dressingā¦ threw in some salmon at the end, though that wasnāt originally the plan.
Thanks lol but it took less then 20 minutes including prep. For dinner I sprinkled some salt, pepper, and paprika on 2 tilapia fillets and pan fried them in olive oil with scallions and jalapenos and then added minced garlic, chilli paste, lime juice, and butter for a tasty sauce.

So excited for saturday cookout I donāt think Iāve ever hosted my own and this is the first time Iām getting to use my new grill for a group of people since I bought it last summer.
Jalopenos and Chili Powder?
Damn youāre toughā¦ with a nice amount of Jalopenos(quite a bit more than what you got), Iām usually goodā¦
But then you went in with Chili Powderā¦
If I was at your dinner table, Iād prolly be scraping jalopenos off my plate on the sneakā¦
Too much spice build up=close to vomitingā¦
Sick meal thoughā¦

chilli paste isnāt as spicy as it is tangy, itās kind of like the asian version of harissa, anyways I love spicy food but have been cutting down on it the past few years since itās not healthy.
AH chili paste, not chili powderā¦
Yeah I been hearing stuff about chilis causing stomach cancer and ulcersā¦
And I love peppersā¦ it aināt worth dying over thoughā¦
Wonder if they sell that in regular supermarketsā¦ I never tried looking for itā¦
It looks like something they sell in them international marketsā¦
My hunger sensors are going crazy over burger, but I hope you are pan-frying in olive oil that is not extra-virgin. Extra-virgin olive oil has a smoke point that is either just barely above the temperatures for pan-frying, or lower than that. Cooking past the smoke point can be harmful to your health as well as negatively affect the taste of the food, and the benefits of the olive oil.
Yeah I used extra virgin (I prefer using coconut oil for everything but itās expensive) I had no idea thanks for the tip, just googled this so I should be good.
I would upload that picture of the pizza I made for my mother on her birthday and four days before Motherās Day, but that it looks atrocious and messed up.
While Iām sure it will still taste good, Iām kinda dissappointed in my pound cakes. They didnāt rise nearly enough. I think it may be my silicone pans, because when I use metal they rose a lot and had more of the signature crack down the middle.
Pound Cakes I made today:
Pound Cake I made before with metal pans:
I canāt eat anything with too much sugar like junkfood or candy, fruit juice with itās natural sugars is good enough for me. Anyways I love pound cake it has just enough sugar to be flavorful but not enough to be gross, that looks really yummy:tup:
I have never baked anything in my life Iād like to try make my own oatmeal raisin cookies some day though.
Yea I like pound cake for the same reason. Itās really good with macerated fruit of some kind or ice cream. Oatmeal cookies are pretty easy, though the recipe I use can be pretty sweet. I like Alton Brownās oatmeal cookies recipe, chewy and delicious.
You guys ever use a rice-cooker for cooking things other than just plain old rice? I heard many wonderful things about it being used in that way. Cooking rice, rice with soup/meat/vegetables (rice dishes), cakes, stews, etc. Quick, convenient, and delicious. Interest in not cooking the standard rice in rice cookers really kicked off when University students in Asia found effective ways to bake a cake in one. I have a relatively new [Panasonic] rice cooker that came with a recipe guide for cooking cakes, curry rice, stews, and a god damn dessert in the rice cooker.
Roger Ebert (yes, the critic) even authored and published a rice cooker cookbook: heās a rice cooker fanatic.
Continuing with my low carb cooking (on the ketogenic diet to get my six pack back for summer), I made a crab and shrimp stuffed portobello mushroomā¦
Also made a burger with portobello mushrooms instead of breadā¦ Bacon, Swiss burger.
