[Iron Chef WTF] Wine & Cheese Ice Cream

  • May. 3rd, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Vanilla ice cream
Burgundy wine jelly (as seen on the half-off rack at Safeway)
Grated parmesean cheese

Mix.

Yummy!

[Iron Chef WTF] Some recent food

  • Jan. 6th, 2008 at 4:50 AM
1. Peach and onion milkshake (pics as well as dinner courtesy of [info]funcrunch, whom I had the pleasure of shooting repeatedly ^^; incidentally, that picset has some cute pics of me w/ Ryan)

Not as good as a minion shake, but still good enough to make me wriggle happily. Our waitress was uber sweet. The bartender lady who served it to me was I think scared by my tastes, and declined to have some. Pity.

2. Pizza w/ palm seed, raisins, onion salt, & bacon salt.

Pretty good, actually; probaby one of the better desert pizza concotions I've made to date. The raisins didn't really contribute though; not enough covering to keep them moistened and away from the heat, so they got dry and bland. Palm seed is interesting and will probably become a regular future component of my cooking. Comes in waaaaay too heavy syrup though, had to rinse 'em off. Bacon salt was an excellent combination here.

3. Peaches, palm seed, & yogurt slurry

Simple to make (just uncan and mix), pretty good. Only moderately WTF.


One suggestion I got recently (made I think more as a fear of what I might do than a suggestion, but oh well) was to try yogurt instead of red sauce as a pizza base. Will need to try at some point for a desert pizza.


Haven't been cooking much WTF lately. But not been cooking much lately at all (for definitions of 'cooking' that don't include merely making pasta or grilled cheese). Meh.

[Iron Chef WTF] Stew of the day

  • Oct. 20th, 2007 at 11:35 AM
potato, sherry, milk, olive oil, onion, green onion, peanut butter, lemon juice, apple, veggie boullion, bacon salt, mozzarella, butter

Oniony stuff fried in butter etc first, then just dump everything in, raise liquid level to appropriate level, and simmer.

I think I added a bit too much peanut butter (two mounding tablespoons) and too little bacon salt (a lot). But 's still pretty good.

Next time, taro and raisins.

[Iron Chef WTF] Grilled cheese again

  • Oct. 7th, 2007 at 5:34 PM
Grilled cheese w/ colby-jack, pepper bacon salt, and banana slices. Pretty good.

Might be better with grilled banana, but I was too lazy to do that.

[Iron Chef WTF] Corn flakes

  • Oct. 3rd, 2007 at 9:58 AM
... with bacon salt and sugar.

Not bad.

[Iron Chef WTF] Bacon Salt

  • Oct. 2nd, 2007 at 11:08 PM
Scene: I am making grilled cheese w/ pepper bacon salt & cinnamon.

Me: (shaking bacon salt onto the grill) It's going to go fast. :|
Ryan: It's good.
Me: It's disturbing.
Ryan: It's disturbingly good.
Me: ... *blogs and emails to baconsalt people*

[Iron Chef WTF] Yogurt

  • Jun. 13th, 2007 at 12:47 AM

Vanilla yogurt
Coarse red bean paste
Green manzanilla olives
mix


Yummy. The olives are very discrete, non-leaky, and very strong contrast flavor.

Moderately high WTF. I'd give it ~600 mS. Less than one might expect though.

Boyfriend was too scared to try it. Hmph.

[Iron Chef WTF] Dinner

  • Jun. 5th, 2007 at 11:37 PM
Slabs of tofu; fried in sesame oil; add sliced mushrooms & tomatoes and fry more; add pasta sauce & simmer.

Vanila yogurt; add tsubu an (coarse red bean paste), mix. Add both to plate.

Very yummy.

[Iron Chef WTF] Sammich!

  • Jun. 4th, 2007 at 12:40 AM
Sourdough bread; slice of cheddar; avocado; mayo; vegemite; nerds.

Yum.

[Iron Chef WTF] Dinner

  • May. 30th, 2007 at 12:41 AM
Mashed potato with olives, pickled garlic, yellow raisins, extra sharp cheddar cheese chunks, misc spices, and of course nerds.

Very yummy.

[Iron Chef WTF] Pasta sauce

  • May. 21st, 2007 at 10:26 PM

Pasta
Mushroom pasta sauce, garbanzo beans, tofu, butterscotch, peanut butter, golden raisins, hot sauce, crushed frosted wheat squares type cereal as thickening agent. Simmer for a while.

Mix, serve.

Very tasty and filling. Needs more raisins, maybe somewhat less thickening.

[Iron Chef WTF] Pasta

  • Apr. 2nd, 2007 at 12:25 AM

Rotini. Drain, add mexican cheese mix, soymilk, coarse generic grape-nuts, golden raisins. Stir.

Very tasty. Would probably add more grapenuts stuff and add it first next time (then add cheese) for better distribution. Maybe also regular raisins. Chopped onion? TVP? Sour cream? Hm.

[Iron Chef WTF] Yogurt

  • Apr. 1st, 2007 at 11:19 PM
Vanilla yogurt mixed with raisins and generic grape-nuts type cereal is quite tasty.

Maybe add chopped onion?

[Iron Chef WTF] Salad OTD

  • Mar. 29th, 2007 at 5:16 PM
Chopped lettuce, goat cheese, balsamic vinegar, cherry tomatoes, grapes, chopped almonds.

Not really WTF, again. Maybe I'm losing my touch...

[Iron Chef WTF] Pasta of the day

  • Mar. 27th, 2007 at 8:05 PM
Penne, drizzled with olive oil, lemon juice, and grated romano/parmesean.

Quite good. Only very mildly WTF (lemon juice) but in a nice subtle elegant way.

(Yeah, shock. Hush.)

[Iron Chef WTF] Lunch of the day

  • Mar. 25th, 2007 at 3:03 PM
Chopped tofu, tomatoes, onions, sautéed with a little bit of pasta sauce. Not bad at all. Again not very WTF; perhaps add raisins next time, or melt a bit of butterscotch into the sauce.


I find myself craving another mint-and-psuedobacon milkshake. Maybe next time I'm in Santa Cruz again... or I could just get the ingredients & make some myself. Hm.

[Iron Chef WTF] Bok choy

  • Mar. 25th, 2007 at 12:23 AM
One bunch bok choy, chopped coarsely; fried at medium with a fair amount of lemon juice; a bit of soy sauce added late;  mixed with parmesean & romano.

Pretty good. Not WTF, but still good. :-)

[Iron Chef WTF] Non-WTF for once

  • Mar. 4th, 2007 at 2:28 AM
Well not particularly.

Garlic sourdough bread slices. Spread one side with butter equivalent, put that side down on skillet, top with cheese (cheddar/ jack blend in this case; usually something w/ cheddar). Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano. Fry until the bottom is crispy and cheese is melted.

Yummy.

Reminds me of Audrey; it is one of the only foods we both actually enjoyed and therefore could make / eat together. (She mostly only likes simple "comfort food"... and, well, you know by now what my cooking is like.)

[Vlog] [Iron Chef WTF] Spinach a la WTF

  • Feb. 19th, 2007 at 12:35 AM

pickled tofu aka Chinese cheese (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickled_tofu)
chunky applesauce
blueberries

Combine in saucepan and cook until appropriately warm.

Quite tasty. :)

(Sorry, no ASL this time.)
