Recipe?

Been making it since I was a kid. Basically boil the shit out of apples, cinnamon sticks, vanilla beans, sugar, and whatever else seems right. Run it through the apple saucer and boil it until it thickens up.

 

[jfields]

Homemade sourdough with some fig jam from @The Black Cloud and homemade apple butter.

Big fan, it's delicious!

 

[Thoughts]

Making some premade lower carb burritos. Low carb wrap, eggs, onions, bell peppers roasted, bacon, cheese, seasons. Trying something random I thought about.

Justin, where did you grow up? And how long have you been a creative cook?

Justin, where did you grow up? And how long have you been a creative cook?

Grew up in southeast Montana. Can't say I'd consider myself a creative cook, but got into cooking when I got a job in an Italian kitchen at age16. Interest and time for cooking has ebbed and flowed since.

ETA: My mom has a giant apple tree in the back yard, so we used to make apple sauce, apple butter, and apple crisp A LOT.

With the things you post, I'd say there is a lot of creativity there!

Ramen time! I boil the noodles in Osso Good bone broth with an egg poaching on top for the collagen protein kick.

First try at wontons. Having a great happy hour with the wife right now. They have a really good flavor even without the dipping sauces but I’ll do something with Ramon like @Not A Nice Person did with the one’s I froze.

If you simmer sliced ginger root, star anise, cardamom pods, cloves & half an onion in beef bone broth for 15-20 minutes you get . . . pho. Well, the quickie version of it, anyway. Strain the spices out, throw some chopped scallions & celery in, add your wontons to cook and you'll have one HELLUVA wonton soup going.

Always a favorite dinner. Made a bean salad as well, to go with the hot dogs/jalapeño sausages. Also introduced the kids to bean dip in a can, with Fritos. So good! Gluttonous s’mores are done, way too full.
