    I think they do citrus trees the same way they do apple trees? Where the apples are grown by grafting new branches onto old trees

    Aka you can one with limes and lemons and oranges all on the same tree

    What about the weird citruses like Buddha's hands and grapefruit? Are those compatible?

  • BurtletoyBurtletoy Registered User regular
    Should be! But you would still have to, either find someone that makes and sells it, or buy both trees and then graft the branches from one onto the other

    Pomelos are great, I like the texture, and they're not as intense as grapefruit

    I did an experiment:

    1lb sweet peppers and onion
    1/2lb broccoli and cauliflower
    small can of chipotle peppers
    better than boulion+4 cups of water
    cubed potatoes
    salt and pepper
    touch of cayanne
    cooked in instapot then grated a block of extra sharp chedder into it

    that was a worthwhile experiment

    I posted my salmon in the wrong thread.

    Should have given it a little longer in the pan. But it's yummy.

    I was delighted to learn tonight that the trick where you vigorously shake garlic between two bowls to peel it really does work, and a very simple garlic/butter sauce is really delicious. Good night of food discovery!

    I have a silicon tube thing to roll garlic about in that strips the skin off. Works good.

    I hope that when I have children they will live close to me so that I may go over to their houses whenever I please and just start cooking shit.

    I wanna spend my twilight years kicking in the door to my children's homes like Emperor Cuzco, saying nothing to anyone, and just setting up in front of the TV with one of those old 1950's portable TV Dinner tables and start chopping onions.

    Food thread I went to a dodgy warehouse in an industrial area last night and had dinner paired with some beers. There was.

    A pulled oyster blade wagyu taco that could have been a small burrito.

    A full slice wagyu brisket in a taco.

    A pair of chicken tenders fried in tallow and served with a tallowaise sauce.

    A 350 gram nine score wagyu scotch fillet.

    Key lime pie.

    Annoyingly I bought the food and immediately contracted food poisoning, so by the time the chicken came around I was pretty full and by the time the steak was ready I had like two pieces and was completely done.

    Food poisoning is my go to excuse for when I don't feel like going to work

    Also, my lifelong obsession with poor food safety etiquette makes me think I built up a tolerance to botulism, or whatever, cause I've never had food poisoning, despite my repeated and effortless attempts

    I ate gas station sushi at least once a week for three years straight and never had a bad experience.

    I mean, it seemed like a pretty serious business sushi setup and the guy who made the sushi also owned the gas station, but still. Food poisoning is probably a myth.

    I don't think you've built up a tolerance to botulism of all the things that can be food contaminants.

    I'm making some ped pha lo (Thai five-spice duck soup with noodles) because I have a sinus infection and that plus making some nam som to serve with it has cleared the face RIGHT UP

    Also it smells amazing in here

    Ok thread. I have now a full pork loin roast. It is fully intact now and it has a nice fat cap on it. Ideas for a week worth of meal prep? Looking for healthy options, no major dietary concerns just not something SUPER bad. Was wanting to maybe make a brown rice dish of some sort and check out what veg is on sale near me.

  • XaquinXaquin Right behind you!Registered User regular
    whatever you do with the pork, at least cook the brown rice in chicken stock instead of water!

  • V1mV1m Registered User regular
    And mix some puy lentils in with the rice!

    Had leftover Lentils and Chestnuts soup from the FF14 cookbook so I made some garlic bread to have both for lunch today.

    The soup is great, do recommend the cookbook. But the bread was super good for the amount of effort, I'm proud of the result.

    Put Olive Oil, Garlic Paste, a little English Mustard, and a small squirt of Honey in a bowl and mixed everything into a good paste consistancy. Spread over both sides of slices off a sourdough loaf and toasted them under an oven broiler until dark brown around the edges. Very good.

    I have thrown butter, red peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and actual tomatoes + a whole bunch of smoked paprika and garlic salt into my Foodie to roast for a bit.

    Then i'm gonna add mushrooms, some canned tomatoes and water, and leave the whole mess to slow cook overnight, and puree it at the other end for a hopefully very tasty tomato-based soup.

    So dinner last night was smoked porkloin. Super delicious and so cheap. I've cracked the code for making it absurdly juicy; leave it in the fridge until the very last second. My probe thermomoter said the internal was 33f when it went in a cold smoker.

    The result: a porkloin that leaks juice over the cutting board even after resting for 15-20 minutes. It's so good.

    And then tonight was using a rosemary simple syrup I made yesterday to to make a couple delicious cocktails. Did a wonderful Bourbon riff on a Tom Collins (equal parts rosemary syrup, lemon juice, and bourbon. added a touch of good maple syrup) Closing out the evening with an actual Tom Collins. Gonna have to make sure I keep rosemary simple syrup on hand for mixing from now on. I also wager a touch would make a fine addition in a herby vinaigrette.

    I made some 'sausage' patties out of lentils, oats, and flax seed and they taste pretty good. most of the flavoring of sausage can be recreated with just the spices in it

    I am wondering about recipes for dinner for the coming week. Something "healthy" or something that isn't horrible. Something that can make use of avocado, tomatillo, lime, cilantro, a protein (pork chops I have frozen maybe?). But then also utilize the yeast that I got a little bit ago (got a pound bag of yeast for baking along with some bannetons, a bread lame, and a pullman loaf pan).

    I am drawing a bit of a blank tonight, so I may think on it for the night and get back to it. Recommendations welcome.

    EDIT: Maybe a kinda of cemitas?

    Literally spice it up or just make it more interesting?

  • JuggernutJuggernut Registered User regular
    More interesting. My first batch was OK, definitely flavorful but I dunno if it's as Nashville-y as I wanted. I think I'm gonna do a Buffalo style chicken meal prep next.

  • PeenPeen Registered User regular
    A Filipino style adobo is a good way to make chicken more interesting and all you really need is soy sauce and vinegar and a bunch of garlic and you probably already have those things. I don't have an authentic recipe to hand but I've used this one and it still comes out pretty good!
