What's new

Whats cooking in 2019?

I'm planning Prime rib for next weekend of the weekend after that. I use a 'recipe' that I found on Youtube. I don't have it written down or bookmarked. Each time I cook Prime Rib, I google "YouTube Cooking Prime Rib using Math" and the recipe pops up. It's the best I've ever used.

Looks real good Aaron!

A mess of new today. Needed beef stock for tonight's dinner so yesterday, with all the talk of Instant Pots/pressure cookers thought i'd give stock in a pressure cooker a try. Has been a couple decades since was last used so needed to brush up on how to put into this old beast into use, internet was a total fail but my falling apart copy of 'Joy Of Cooking' had the answers i needed...

Browned/roasted ~ 4lbs. bones & meat with carrots, celery, onion & garlic under the broiler for maybe 45 minutes. Dumped that into the cooker with a couple litres of water, tomato paste, fresh thyme, bay leaf & a bit of salt. Brought up to pressure then cooked for 1 3/4 - 2 hours. Had about a litre of rich rich rich liquid left.

In the youtube/video thread back before Christmas someone mentioned 'a French guy cooking' series on youtube which i started watching, intrigued/humoured by Alexis found a copy of his cookbook in a shop Christmas Eve and bought it for my daughter. When i asked her if there was anything she wanted to have this weekend French Onion Soup was one of the dishes. So tonight a riff on Alexis' cookbook recipe & video method. Quite different from how we've always done it which has been in individual ramekins, a piece of bread per bowl topped with gruyere...

Three lbs. onions, used up chunks of cheese from NYE, mozzarella/gruyere/oldcheddar, next time - gruyere & Danish blue is in order, there will be a next time. Added a litre of water to the stock, no problem... except ... not enough cheese according to my daughter.

Beverage - in with the same old - Pelee Island Baco Noir
Dessert - my November fruitcake is doing nicely
Music - through prepping/cooking to dining to apres - Mojo; 'The Best of 2018 - cd No.6 of The 75 Best Jazz Tracks of the Early 1960's - Public Enemy; The Best of... Millenium Collection

Goodness that looks wonderful. My take on the pics is french onion soup with lasagna with bread instead of pasta and one heck of a hearty meat filling.

I will Google that.
 
No pictures because the family ate it all. Instant Pot spare ribs. Then brushed them with honey , oyster sauce and crisped them under the broiler.
 
I'm not suppose to make pies around here but came across bags of Key Limes and never having had Key lime pie bought a bag to give it a go. And not a traditional pie, has a cookie crust, so i can get away at being the baker.

Took 15 limes to get 1/2c of juice, used a garlic press. Don't eat graham wafers so bought some Digestive biscuits to use for the crust instead. Recipe was for a 9" pie pan, had an 8" and a 9.5", went with the bigger, too big, should have used the 8", next time.

Super easy to make, tart and not too sweet, much like a lemon pie.

Delicious! The oyster sauce and honey is a Cantonese recipe the wife’s parents have done for years. I just eyeballed it. Lots of honey and a couple tablespoons of oyster sauce. Subtle flavors but really good.
My wife got a high end Insta pot type thing a year ago last Christmas and has not been finding it easy to use. I'm afraid I would be able to make it work and might have to use it!
 
Needed something to eat before cutting into the pie...

Apple cider brined a 1kg pork loin for 24 hours then drained it, wrapped it/stuffed it with fresh sage & rosemary, grilled on a spit. Roasted root vegetable side, yukon golds, rutabagas, parsnips & carrots, coated/mixed with fresh rosemary, thyme & parsley, minced garlic, evoo, salt & pepper, added a pan of sauteed mini Brussels Sprouts before serving.

Beverage - Beau's Brewing Company, Jänis -Sahti (Finnish-Style Juniper Ale), worked great.

Music - there's always music, it escapes me at the moment...

I'm so glad there's a 2019 version of this thread!!
Here's some air fried wings we made yesterday. First time trying the air fryer. They don't look super crispy in the picture but they were! They clinked into the bowl and that's a tell -tale sign!
