I made chicken enchiladas for the family last night. Sautéed some poblanos with a lot of garlic and onions. I took that mixture, added a can of El Pato tomato sauce and a few fresh tomatoes out of the garden blended it until largely smooth. Meanwhile I sautéed some chicken with chopped onions, seasoned with salt, black pepper, roasted coriander and cumin. Added the sauce to the chicken and onions, let it reduce just a hair, then filled some tortillas with the mixture and some cheese, put them in a 9x13 pan and let them bake with the sauce and some extra cheese poured on top.
That seems like a really simple recipe but my family thought it was super good and amazing that I could make a good enchilada sauce largely from scratch.

Working on the last of the freebie fish I was given. Poached a salmon steak in some of the salmon stock I had made and frozen, with some shallots and wine.
It was really, really good.

I feel like I shouldn't be this pleased with myself for making what tastes like a fantastic meatloaf, but hey, baby steps. And sandwiches.
Meatloaf does rock. Also, the next step can be making meatloaf, putting it into bell peppers, and having stuffed bell peppers. It's more fancy because you put it in a vegetable! It must be fancy!
Hot water and scrub it with something that isn't too abrasive.
Then dry the shit out of it. Hit it with a bunch of kosher salt and scrub again. Wipe it clean.
Now it's time to reseason the shit out of it. Methods vary, most are effective. You're going to have to go deep on it so it'll be a process.
While you're doing that, make her watch. Have a conversation about things. Don't kill her. This is a teachable moment and you need to realize your mother is dumber than hell for doing that.
amazing shrimp and grits and cornbread with honey butter
mmm
Mmm, cornbread.
Not something that's easy to find around here, that's for damn sure.
Agreed!
The Yelp reviews are VERY polarized... many of them seemed to just be complaining about wait staff or the owner.
But the people who claim to be from the South and that the cornbread or shrimp and grits are bad?
Yeah, you're effin' wrong. They were magnificent.

i iced a bunch of cupcakes (not very well) and now I am so fucking sleepy
I wanted to put glace cherries on top of them to distract from the poor icing job but I pulled out the jar from the back of the fridge and discovered the use-by date was 2010
Cooking thread, I'm interested in picking up a cast iron skillet. Would it be a terrible idea to get one from a big box store, like Target? I have this idea in my head of cast iron skillets being indestructible no matter where they come from, but would there be a huge variance in quality from brand to brand?

I love Great British Bake Off.
What should I do with the thing?

This means I'll be doing less for secret satans, no more "I'll do 9 different batches of shit"
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
