I offer absurdist edits of absurdist Heathcliff comics, make food, post political memes.

  • Newest addition to the kitchen - these tiny measuring spoons from H-E-B 🥰

  • I make taco seasoning a cup at a time so everything is rounded up to the nearest teaspoons or tablespoon.

  • I have a surplus of jars and once you see the spice rack I built you are going to have questions. It's gigantic.

  • If you know any tricks for making puff pastry from scratch in under 45 minutes I am interested in trying them out.

  • I am a West Coast Mexican food person. The only corn my Mexican food oversees is the corn tortilla. My brain automatically rejects Tex-Mex and it's use of fresh corn.

    I don't have any of the tube stuff right now. I did think about opening a can figuring I'd find another way to use it either in Italian or Mexican. Instead, I decided to go for a cube of tomato chicken bouillon which is why you don't see a lot of color here and even though I rinsed those black beans the moment they touched the rice, all the red disappeared from it.

    Oh, broth. Forgot to add that in my list. I have gigantic stockpiles of turkey stock I made from free turkeys and canned. I used it instead of water for cooking the rice.

  • I've tried aggress cilantro multiple times and I end up with thin little shoots that bolt instantly. It is to way too hot here for it to thrive or even be remotely useful.

    If I want cilantro here I'm either going to have to buy it or I'm going to have to set up a dedicated cat proof indoor growing area.

  • I have a set like that. They are rarely ever used but are essential when called for.

  • It's been a year since my last spice cabinet cleanup. I should get on that.

  • Definitely. I make chili powder in huge batches of a liter or two at a time. So much less expensive. Better quality, no salt, no filler.

    For curry I usually make a cup's worth at a time.

  • One of my wife's favorites is smoked brie with grapes, candied walnuts, sliced grapes and raspberry compote with balsamic glaze drizzled on top. Needless to say I never have all that on hand at once so it never happens.

  • I grew up in an Italian kitchen but in former Mexican territory. So I'm all over the place when it comes to food.

    I've been suggesting rice and beans to my wife for a while and every time she got that look on her face that said "why would you hurt me?"

    While eating she said "what do you call this?" "Rice and beans." "This is rice and beans? I had. No idea it could be tasty. This is amazing."

    Apparently here version of rice and beans growing up was rice and beans, not rice and beans. She is now a convert and believer in the power of rice and beans.

    Maybe one day I'll do an Italian version with some cannellini beans, short grain rice and Italian seasonings.

  • We did Indian themed rice three times last week. And biryani would really require some cilantro. I'm completely limited to what's in the pantry or can be foraged from my yard right now. I used the last of my basmati the other day. This was the last of my long grain.

    I'd never put peas in a quesadilla. But they are fine in rice.

  • I inherited a cat from a dead friend. The cat nearly starved themselves to death before I found the problem: their diet had consisted entirely of rotisserie chicken and occasionally some Arby's roast beef as a treat.

    I weaned them from rotisserie chicken to a vet approved homemade cat food. Oatmeal was a key part of that recipe. Eventually from there I got him to dry food.

    That was Oscar:

    The goose was Cali.

  • Cummin powder, red pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion, paprika, salt.

    I just eyeballed things. Probably no more than a half a teaspoon of anything and a pinch of the rest for a pound of ground pork.

    Toss it all in a bowl with an egg, mix by hand. Lay parchment paper in a sheet pan, put the mix on that. Put another piece of parchment paper on top and roll it into an even flat sheet.

    Bake at 390f for 30 minutes.

    Remove the top shee and cut it into ribbons.

  • Not quite the same. That's more like meatballs on a stick. This is more like gyros meat, pressed flat and then cooked so you can layer it.

  • Absolutely. But the seasonings and method is Turkish. Pork is all I had on hand. No haram issues in this house.

  • After cooking the onions I mixed sour cream and cheddar in the pan with them until melted. That was my sauce.
