/ck/ - Food & Cooking

i really miss the "roll" challenges, too bad the mods look down on that kinda stuff....i also thought a fun idea for a challenge would be to get inspired from a board other than /ck/, but i dunno how much sense that makes....

going to try to fight the urge to compete next year. 3 times is enough....i always am excited in the beginning and am just looking forward to the end by the halfway mark. this year was rough... since i moved to the middle of nowhere i cant find decent varieties of meat... i couldnt even find quail... when i looked for duck, my only option would have been a frozen whole duck for $30-40, but i am excited to judge next year!

Congrats Nack! You had some awesome dishes!

sorry! i was out and about...

seasoned with salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes

its not the same without you pye! and thanks! etouffee is awesome.

definitely give the pate a try. i'm going to have to bake another loaf of bread soon and destroy the rest of it.

aaaand vertical. i forgot to mention in the vertical that i only used 1/3 of the dough for the bread, but i dont put the measurements, so i guess that doesnt matter...

this was my first time making a pate, and i'm definitely going to make more of it! i hate the texture of mushrooms, but love the flavor, so this was glorious!

ok, i'll go first, i did it last night, just too tired to post. I haven't been able to do much of it this year, but i cook mostly cajun/french food. Its my jam. So for your consideration:

Lobster Etouffee with French Bread and a Mushroom Walnut Pate

Arrrrghgh! Duh! lol, My family's always just called it dip, and I forget actual words...

Here's the vertical, sorry if it's a little messy and out of order. I need to get to bed before I hate myself at 6am (I will anyways...)

I played along with orange, it was great because I could fry everything!

My entry: Wings 2 ways: Mango Chutney-Curry and Cajun Buffalo with onion rings and a dip. I really don't know what to call the dip, we use for crawfish, fries, onion rings, or pretty much anything really.

I'll post my vertical later.

vertical

haha, no need to pretend to be sorry! i think every year i've done this there's been THAT challenge, and i'm sure most of the other people in the competition have a THAT challenge moment. I'm just tipsy enough to go on a minirant...

i never really like doing desserts for nondessert rounds, so.....meh....

I HATED this round! I don't really do raw food (i'm from the south, we cook everything!) anyways, i was planning on doing some vegetable spaghetti with sauce and whatnot, then I realized, i probably wouldn't like it...as weekend drew near, i decided "fuck it, i'm gonna get a low score, but i'm going to make some basic ass bitch dessert that i'll at least actually enjoy." so here we are:

No-bake cheesecake filled strawberries with a fresh strawberry daiquiri sorbet

Makes me wish I could've gone to the Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival this year... anyways im not pleased with the presentation, but I'm so done with this round.... i'm going get tipsy off sorbet and play animal crossing....

i'll post vertical either later tonight or tomorrow...where are my pjs? i'm done with this whole day!

....the internet won't let me win...

Guess what came in the mail today? My prize! A whole book on how to keep my man happy. Thanks a bunch BubbleBurst! I can't wait to try out some of these recipes.

Interesting theme...I'll have to think this one over....

(deleted post because i used the sideways picture and i figured it would offend someone...and it bothered me)

that wasnt me, guess trolls are out and about. thanks! i thought everyone would think its boring, so i'm glad i'm getting some positive feedback

vertical is here, i forgot to take pictures in the beginning, so it's not as detailed as usual

>>7585757
definitely would like to try! i almost went stuffed pepper, but my idea wasnt nearly as interesting!

>>7585592
Is it??????

here's the insides of each. i'll be posting vertical later this afternoon

Here's my entry:
Surf 'n Turf Bombs with a Garlic Cream Sauce

Inside each biscuit is either shimp and cheese or steak and caramelized onion. I didn't realize until i finished that the whole dish is yellow...at least it tastes good.

was hoping to cook entry today, but stuff came up, so I won't be posting mine til tomorrow afternoon/evening. Hopefully voters stick around 'til tuesday! Bummed that I had to resort to plan b for my dish

>>7576947
that looks super yummy!!!

Going get my ingredients tomorrow. I have a plan B because i doubt i'll be able to find one of the ingredients for plan A....fingers crossed!

thanks! the 1/2 and 1/2 is a good idea, probably more presentable.

I thought putting the shot on fire would be nice presentation for the challenge, although i did feel bad making a flaming shooter of extra anejo tequilla. I figured i generally water it down with water, and burning off some of the alcohol would give the same effect and the heat would enhance the flavor....it kinda worked...idk tequila generally isnt my thing...

and i think the lime looks big because its the closest object to the camera...but i'm no scientist....

>>7559468
thanks! it sure was tasty! still picking at the leftovers with cheap mexican beer. i used sharp cheddar because thats what i had in my fridge and i'm addicted to it....

On the nachos are homemade con queso dip and salsa....probably shoulda mentioned that.....
