This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
For real reals chili. You know with ancho peppers, chipotle peppers, guajillo peppers, Mexican chocolate, adobo, and MEEEEEEAT.
Also beans. Fuck you.

Fresh nectarines and Manchego cheese.
(I don't care who judges me, I like beans in my chili too.)

I ended up making an omlette with some basil, oregano, some milk, and cheese. It ended up getting a bit burnt and more mangled than I thought it would be, but it was still good. The milk also made it a bit more fluffy than I expected it to be, but it ended up cooking all the way through, so I think it was a good first time!

I woke up super early, made blackberry muffins with the lovely fresh berries I bought yesterday, had breakfast, crashed from lack of sleep and am now feeling very disoriented.

Tonight I made corn on the cob, black-eyed peas, and watermelon. Yum.

Venison tenderloin, cooked in onions over low heat with nothing but salt, pepper, and the most pointlessly small amount of basil. Baked potato rolled in olive oil and sea salt, and mountains of peas.
It's been a pretty shit week to top a pretty shitty month, so I needed comfort food.

Always read the ingredients on new brands/purchases.
Bought some Kühne brand "hot chili sauce" and it's so incredibly bland/sweetened, it's making my actually-hot sausages taste not-spicy. I basically bought slightly-sour ketchup.
But, the bottle says so. It says there's 1% jalapeno, and less than that of red chile. There's more chile on the label than in the product (that's true of chicken on bbq potato chips, too, but you expect that).

(( Woo-hoo for soft pretzel bites! I know it isn't the healthiest of dinners, but I love pretzels... and hot, soft, pretzel bites. ))

I scored a beef liver, salt and pepper soak for a half hour, drained, then soaked it, sliced carrots, potatoes, and cucumber in a mix of hot water, black pepper, salt, and crushed Numb & Spicy Hot Pot Lays potato chips, then boiled it down until the brother was opaque and the crushed chips dissolved.
And, someone said it smelled awesome!

This both excites and angers me. I'm excited because they sound delicious, but I'm angry because I'd probably have to go to some West Coast city with a substantial Asian population to stand half a chance of obtaining them...assuming they exist in the US at all.

I'd offer to ship you some, but they probably'd get all crushed in transit.
They're literally the hottest potato chips I've ever tasted. So good. So, I hope you can get some relatively easily/cheaply.

I'm banking on either getting the Asian groceries around here to import some, or sweet-talking my Filipino co-worker into seeing if her family can find and ship them.
Meanwhile, for dinner, I made a bastardized version of BBQ Shrimp. There's no actual barbecue sauce involved in either version, just a lot of damn butter, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce, and seasoning. I didn't have any lemon juice or hot sauce, so I used Sriracha and the last of some canned chipotles in adobo sauce instead. Still tasty.

Lamb dumpling with steamed vegetables and noodles in a ginger sauce. Because I can't sleep and therefore cook.

Am I the only person, outside of sitcoms wacky neighbors and pregnant women, who actually really likes a bowl of ice cream with a plate of pickles on the side (or just an open jar to grab from)?
Cut together, it's probably unappealing, but as a back and forth deal, it really can make both come alive.
Offline
Tong ho, bok choy, carrots, garlic, red onion, and chicken breast cooked down into a sweet and sour sauce with black pepper and chile oil until it just about caramelized.
Only a few more months of just cooking for myself, most meals, and I am determined to go ahead and get indulgent about it.

I had green base half pizza with shrimp and corn and another half of pizza with pepperoni cheese tomato sauce and the best thing on pizza in the whole world...
