To understand cooking, we must first understand its roots.

Coo is the call of the pigeon
King is a male head of state

What food will you apply heat to as a tribute to the Lord of pigeons?

I'm making Cuban pork in the crock pot and am gonna have Cuban sandwiches for dinner. Be jealous

    Pineapple, bacon, and Jalapeño makes for a surprisingly tasty and well-balanced pizza.

    Probably any meat would work in bacon's slot, but I like bacon.

    I'm trying to think if I will be able to do this chicken tonight or if I want to do it up tomorrow.

    It might still be somewhat frozen from the cooler the store had it in when I bought it I'll have to check.

    So this came out really good actually.

    I was worried a bit too much about the time and it came out reading like 175 on my thermometer but it was really tasty, especially with the sauce which was good and buttery and MMmmm.

    Next time though a little less salt, the skin is just too salty for me sadly.

    I'm considering cooking a pork shoulder in my oven at a low temp for 8 hours overnight as I sleep, and then turning the oven off and leaving it in there, possibly with foil tented over it, while I go to work. Then at dinner time, I'd turn the oven back on, high, to get the pork hot again and finish crushing the outside. Are there any major issues with doing this, such that I should just be patient and make this during the weekend?

    Your pork will cool down into the danger zone (<140°F) unless your workday is only 2-3 hours long, your oven just isn't that efficient at holding heat. You may be able to wrap the pork in several layers of foil then store it with some towels in the smallest cooler you have (since the insulating properties on those are much better) but I wouldn't keep my food in there longer than about 4 hours before checking the temperature for safety.

    You'd probably be okay, but I think I'd be hesitant to eat meat that had been left at essentially room temperature for however long you're at work. Unless it's a short day or something and you're getting home 2 or 3 hours after you left.
    But then, I don't know your oven, if it can keep the temp above 140 (f) for the 8+ hours turned off then no problem.

    Personally, I'd do it over the weekend and then eat leftover pork shoulder as long as possible.

    Fair enough. I won't do that, then. Thanks.

    2am and I can't sleep

    so I whisked together 3 cups of water, 1.5 cups of plain yogurt, 4 tbsp besam, and a tsp of garam masala

    also put 2 tsp mustard seeds, 1 tsp fenugreek seeds, 1 tsp turmeric, and 1 tsp chili powder into a container for heating and grinding tomorrow.

    I'll add to that a whole onion diced and sauteed in oil, garlic, and something I can't remember because it's after 2am and why can't I sleep!?

    ....

    spinach kofta tomorrow should be easy since I did half of it already =p

    If you're looking for a layer cake, this ain't it, but this is the recipe that my mother has made for years and it's really good. (I'm saying this as someone who doesn't like cake.) It's from the Silver Palate cookbook.

    Decadent Chocolate Cake

    1 cup boiling water
    3 oz unsweetened chocolate
    8 tbsp sweet butter
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    2 cups granulated sugar
    2 eggs, separated
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 c sour cream
    2 cups less 2 tbsp unbleached, all-purpose flour, sifted
    1 tsp baking powder
    chocolate frosting

    1. Preheat oven to 176 C. Grease and flour a 10" springform/tube pan. Knock out excess.
    2. Pour boiling water over chocolate and butter; let stand until melted. Stir in the vanilla and sugar, then whisk in egg yolks, one at a time, blending well after each addition.
    3. Mix baking soda and sour cream and whisk into chocolate mixture.
    4. Sift flour and baking powder together and add to batter, mixing thoroughly.
    5. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Stir a quarter of the egg whites thoroughly into the batter. Scoop remaining egg whites on top of the batter and gently fold together.
    6. Pour batter into the prepared pan. set on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the edges have pulled away from the sides of the pan and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes; unmold and cool completely before frosting.

    Chocolate Frosting
    2 tbsp sweet butter
    3/4 c semisweet chocolate chips
    6 tbsp heavy cream
    1 1/4 c sifted confectioners' sugar, or as needed
    1 tsp vanilla extract

    Place all ingredients in a heavy saucepan over low heat and whisk until smooth. Cool slightly; add more sugar if necessary to achieve a spreading consistency. Spread on cake while frosting is still warm.

    There are definitely things I would change. Less garlic, dry mushrooms instead of wet, maybe add some carrots, low sodium soy sauce, but the broth was delicious and the noodles were great and the chicken was perfect.

    There is a semblance of a chill in the air. Time for acorn squash and sweet potato soup!

    It's got coconut milk so it's good and creamy and has ginger and garam marsala so it's got nice spice taste and it's warm and filling and very tasty
