OT What's Cookin'?

[bigbailes]

It is hard for me to eat out for Breakfast because I feel like I make such good breakfasts at home. Burgers are starting to get the same way for me. I feel like the burgers I make at home are better than 95% of the stuff I can get from a fast food or restaurant.

I feel that way about tri tip too. So many spots have tri tip that sucks.

When you learn how to cook, this becomes an issue! I really don't like going to many Italian places (especially chains) because their food is very easy to make at home and make it so much better than the 'sauce out of the bag' slop that many of these restaurants serve. Same with steak, it's very rare (pun intended) that I get a steak when eating out because it's much more expensive and not as good as what I can make at home.

I will say I'm kind of the opposite when it comes to burgers, yea they are easy to make at home but with just me and the wife, the hassle of buying all the stuff I want (burger, bacon, toppings etc) and then firing up the grill for a couple of burgers just doesn't seem worth it, so I will spend my $ on them when I go out.

Oi vey! Yesterday all my.maybes accepted and my Thanksgiving guest list has doubled. Going to make another batch of muffins. Get out both crock pots for large quantities of mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes. Double vegetables. Might not have much leftover turkey. Maybe buy a turkey when they go in sale after Thanksgiving for Lashanna and me

Where did the crockpot thread go? With my guest list doubled I will have mashed potatoes in one crockpot, sweet potatoes in another crockpot and carrots in Instant pot.

Got busy last night, sorry.

2 cups flour, 1/2 cups sugar, 1 T baking powder, 1/2 t salt.
combine dry ingredients together. Grate 1 frozen stick of unsalted butter in to dry ingredients, and cut in with pastry cutter. Then mix in whatever fillings you like, berries, seeds, etc.

in separate bowl, mix 100g sourdough starter, 1 egg, 3 T heavy cream, 1 t vanilla.

Fold wet in to dry. Turn on to floured surface and form an oval. Cut in to 8 wedges and refrigerate on parchment lined pan for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 days.

Optionally, brush tops with cream and sprinkle of sugar before baking.

Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes
