Trust me, peaches were like 5 bucks a pound and the apricots were even more, so I only got like 2 of each fruit and came home with not a fuckin clue what I was going to make. Then I put the fucking cake in the oven and the butter and sugar starts melting all over the bottom of the oven releasing smoke out the wazoo... I thought it was gonna end up being total shit and I was very pleasantly surprised. Also the whole fuckin cake is gone which I'm a bit upset about cuz I only got one piece...

I get paid for the month tomorrow and if I make it to the next round I'm gonna go balls to the wall crazy muahaha

...I guess they must have liked it

Last pic, tried to take a pic of a slice but my camera kept fucking with the colors, I think because of the contrasting colors but shit I dunno!

Not the prettiest but probably tied with my mexican picnic for favorite dish I've made in the competition.

Thanks all!

Another pic...

Ok so, I had planned on doing like a chipotle-plum marinaded pork chop but they had no plums so I had to figure something else out.

So I made an upside down pound cake.

It has yellow and white fleshed peaches, apricots and prunes (plums).

The glaze is butter and brown sugar with a tiny bit of cinnamon. The cake is a traditional poundcake with the zest of a lemon and some peach infused seltzer water.

I gotta say I was fucking panicking, I've never made an upside down cake nor have I made poundcake from scratch. My kitchen was smoking like fuck. But that produced an amazing glaze on top with caramelized sides and one of the tastiest most moist cakes I've ever had. I'm not a big dessert fan but the combination of tart and sweet flavors was just great. This is going to definitely become a staple in my house. Or as mom says "You'll keep making this once your done with your contest, right?"

Unfortunately it's not a very pretty dish, but flavor is much more important to me than presentation as a home cook.

I'll post a vert at some point.

Mangoes are stone fruit.

I'm kinda regretting cooking today. My kitchen is full of smoke and shits not going well. We'll see if this turns out. Fuck.

>>5394187
Well, at least you kept your tradition of being a douche!

This was the link that helped me out, I think I'll be doing mine today, maybe...

I HAD TO BUY PRUNES LIKE SOME KIND OF FUCKING GERIATRIC NEANDERTHAL!

Goat cheese or brie! Good brie on a fresh baguette with some dried cranberries is heaven. Yum.

Or goat cheese on good crackers with a slice of tart apple or a slice of hard salami.

Fuck yeah!

>>5393099
I think I know as well, though I don't think I'm gonna make it past this round... I won chocolates though so I feel ok with that if it happens hahaha

They didn't even have fucking plums at the store, what the fuck, they always have plums. :|

I was thinking about this, if I could find some green almonds that would be fucking great, they have a tiny window where you can eat them whole and I think that's around this time. Unfortunately I don't know that my country bum kroger store would carry those hahaha

Looks like canned may be my best option!

This is definitely going to be interesting and challenge!

This is going to be really, really hard for me because there are no stone fruits in season and the very few they have at the store are insanely expensive. No idea how I'll pull this one off...

Interesting theme, gonna be very cool to see what people come up with.

The only traveling I've done is to Tijuana so I'm already jealous of you, lol.

>>5389565
Would eat either way, heh.

I'd say they don't since they use 2 legs to run but I suppose that Bubble has the final say, though I don't think we have any Aussies competing anyway...

I wonder if frogs count, I guess they do?

>>5389344
Rabbits run on 4 legs ya dingus!

Everything is fantastic looking this week, very glad I managed to get immunity haha

>>5387244
This is probably the most appealing thing I've seen in this competition, ever, seriously.

Definitely fucking making this. Holy shit girl, om nom nom!

>>5386325
Yeah this would have been perfect with some beer, mmm. It's a fatty carby plate of awesomeness, definitely good drunk/hungover food.

And yes, was veeeery good. I don't even like meatballs but I liked these. The bread was fucking awesome too.

And good luck on both job/plebe soup.


Here's the vert if anyone wants, not so complicated as the last few weeks lol

>>5386282
And a second picture... My mom took a bite of it but I actually figured it showed how moist the meatballs were so I used this one rather than another I took.

>>5386085
Kinda, heh.

Once again I was majorly broke this week so I used exclusively things in my home except the tomatoes and bread. Overall cost for the things I had to buy was like 4.50 so... keep that in mind lol

It's deer sausage and ground beef meatballs on whole wheat bolillo buns with shredded sharp provolone and a makeshift tomato sauce with thyme, oregano, basil, sherry, and some worcestershire..

I found some 80/20 ground beef in the freezer, as well as the deer sausage. I think they worked great together, though they aren't very photogenic.. :)

I'll post the vertical later...

>>5386079
This is some of the roadkill deer I got processed into sausage...

Mmmm roadkill deer om nom nom...

>>5385458
Some kinda daube maybe?

Here's the start of mine... this weeks rendition of "shit I find in the freezer/cabinets"

Hopefully it doesn't turn out too mega shitty, we shall see.
