Cooking a Good Everything Else

is GFUEL instagram going off or is it just me, i can cook gfuel,,,,,...... hahhhaha

i've posted orzo before
the version tonight was pretty consistent with previous technique
lightly sautee garlic and green onion bulbs in butter and olive oil
quickly toast raw orzo then add water and chicken broth
cover until cooked, stir in cream and parm to thicken
topped with air fryer chicken and the rest of the green onion

oh man thats a really good idea. i love the quick tomato based spicy orzo that i make but this one would be good when i need my cheesy fix

I'm at least the third person in the thread to buy a Creami, a total impulse buy yesterday - it's been hot lately and I'm craving all things frozen. Just did my first thing, literally the easiest possible item - pineapple sorbet. Outstanding.

The machine is noisy as hell, but if other things turn out as good as this it's going to be a great summer. Going to make some variety of ice cream base tonight to spin tomorrow.

Booker, hell yeah!

I posted the recipe for the ben & jerry's french vanilla base upthread, it's my go to for any ice cream (vanilla, coffee, mint) and comes out great just with one spin after running the pint under hot water for 20 seconds before spinning on ice cream setting.

I saw that and prepped a half batch (1 pint) last night, just spun it. I remembered the hot water tip. Very good! Definitely would be a good base for a lot of different flavors.

I did respin 1x which was probably unnecessary and made it a shade softer (warmer) than I would consider ideal. Will be interesting to see how the rest of it is after a night in the freezer.

Some of the necessity for re-spinning depends on how cold your freezer is. The colder it is, the more work it takes for the machine to bring it together in a cohesive mass.

Miso butter shrimp. Great summer time meal.

Recipe is from Jamie Bissonnette. He was previously involved with a bunch of great Boston restaurants.

no clue how that actually tasted hans
but a beautiful presentation

looks like something you could find in a tide pool

Last night was Buffalo Chicken Sandwich night at mi casa. With the fondant potatoes on the side.

Very solid.

looks like a great crust on that chicken...breast or thigh?
any pickle on there?

Chicken sandwich looks phenomenal

They were breasts. No pickle. I like pickles and I don't pick them off or cut them from restaurant sandwiches, but when I'm constructing I never add pickles. On the side, sure. On the sandwich, nah. There's a couple of slices of swiss hiding underneath.

Crust was great. Copycat of the honeybutter chicken place's recipe. That said, I did 2 of them and had the same thing last night. Reheated the chicken in the oven, crust not so great. It's just impossible, short of refrying, to get a good crisp on leftovers, right?

I would try air frying, see if that’s any better. A quick flash fry might work too, dunno.

My airfryer was taking up way more counter space than great tater tots warranted so it's gone to airfryer heaven.

Put it in the garage or something. Mine stays on top of the fridge, but I use it every day. Getting another one so I can cook multiple things simultaneously.

was also going to suggest an air fryer for reheating fried chicken

Finally made this butter sauce w lobster. Highly recommend. The butter sticks to the lobster. Take 5mins

Whipped up a Korean bbq marinade with goguchang, marinated and air fried some chicken thighs, served with kimchee, smashed cucumber salad, and steamed rice

Leftover lobster = goons

Hot goons.

i've been catching a lot of crabs and making crab rangoon a lot lately

i found it's just fine without the crab and ricotta cheese is a fantastic substitute for cream cheese

Interesting. Good to know if I ever don’t have cream cheese.
