I made baguettes for the Grey Cup and they turned out great. I misplaced the recipe, I'll have to find it and make these again. It was a two day process and ingredients were. 3 1/2 flour, 1 TSP instant yeast, 2 TSP salt, 1 tbsp honey.
Did some ribs on the charcoal BBQ this weekend and they turned out great. Smoky and tender.
This turned out amazing. I used fresh broccoli, not frozen, which was nice because it had a nice little crunch to it. Using frozen I think it would've felt to mushy. Some crispy bacon would be such a great addition. The recipe I used is at the link below.

It's short order but I highly recommend making use of the VIA rail Canada Strong Pass before it expires September second. We used it to travel on the Skeena from Jasper to Prince Rupert (overnights are in Prince George). We had one day in Prince Rupert, their first good day of the year in Canada's rainiest city, and it was amazing. The train ride is stunning, the return trip was just as stunning, it felt like a new trip. We thought we'd get card games or reading in, but we were glued to the windows. It's so clean, spacious and freeing to walk around during the trip. Our attendant during the trip both ways was Moun, and he was wonderful! Sign up for the reward points before you book. Earn them and save for future trips, they seem to add up quickly or you can donate them to other members - I mean send them my way if you won't use them haha. It was our first VIA trip and we are hooked and cannot wait for our next one. That said VIA needs some serious expansion out west.
I made something really different this evening, broccoli loaf. It's very light, and mild tasting. I think it would be amazing as grilled cheese and dipped into tomato soup.
I used this recipe, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tCXhnx2Lmk&t=0
Made some lentil crunch wrap supremes this past week. They turned out amazing 
I will be making these a few times this spring and summer.
I made smashed lentil tacos and wow they were great! First I sauteed finely diced onion, red pepper, mushrooms and garlic. Then I combined them with a can of lentils, taco seasoning, ketchup, light soy sauce and blended oats. It looked very much like taco seasoned ground beef. Then I formed a ball of the lentils on the wrapped and pressed it until flat, then cooked in a fry pan on both sides. I made a dip it was an avocado, plain yogurt, cloves of garlic, lime juice and parsley. Blend until smooth. Full of flavour, extremely light on the wallet and I'm looking forward to having these again soon.
Made Napolitano style pizza dough for pizza night at home. The closer pizza has a pesto sauce with bacon, tomatoes and mozzarella. The further one is a simple tomato sauce with ground beef and sausage, tomatoes, mozza and topped with basil
It already feels like four years and it's only the start of February 2025.
It's chickpea flour, water, salt, black pepper, oil, rosemary and onions
It was a mix between https://www.themediterraneandish.com/farinata-recipe/ and this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vKnzKb60C4&t=3
Yeah, there was a nice period when Pidgin could easily handle all the chats. Then providers siloed their apps 🫤
The humour of it, because tofu is obviously boneless. Hahaha
Gotta be careful with them they'll bung you up! Haha
Thanks. It's extra firm tofu, water pressed out, then I froze it to get more water out. Tore the tofu into bite sized bits into a bowl, added some soy sauce, maple syrup and rice vinegar to it and let it marinade for a bit. I was out of regular flour so I used chickpea flour for the breading... In one bowl I added corn starch and chickpea flour and in another a bowl the same but with some water and mix it. Coat the bites in the dry mix, into the wet mix, back to the dry then shallow fry the bites. Cool then coat with your preferred sauce. Edit worth mentioning that while it was thawing I squeezed water from it. I was surprised at how much was in it.
Thunder for Lemmy been solid for me since I've been using it.
Like you work there and made this?
I dunno, really, it's the skin and tendons... I try to minimise good waste as best I can, but the bits cut off and removed would be the part you hold the drum and likely didn't eat. I'd say it feels like waste but really no one eats that bit. Plus, this way if you have pets, they get a treat and that skin and 5mm of tendon gets eaten 🙂
It is a chicken drumstick, you cut and peel the skin/tendons from the drumstick where it starts to narrow. It is a bit of work doing that bit, then you simply push the meat down into a ball. I then seasoned it, smoked it, when they were done smoking I filled a coffee cup with BBQ sauce and dipped the meat into it and caramelized it on the BBQ.YouTube link This is where I saw them done. Seen a version where there were deep fried, going to give that a try sometime
I dunno Ford backed down from his 25% electricity export surcharge right away... Let's get a plan between the feds and provinces and coordinate in executing the retaliations. Then when T[rump] slaps 50% steel and aluminium tariffs Quebec and NFLD adds a electricrity surcharge to their exports.
