It's the Finnish independence day and I'm feeling patriotic, so I made some butter fried vendace. Very Savonian food. Just gut them, batter them with rye flour and fry in butter. Eat with a glob of mashed potatoes. Some add mayonnaise but I like them plain. Usually vendance is a summer food but eating hot vendance in a chilly winter evening is great too.

2 pieces of pork steak and tried to make a garlic-chili-butter baguette, but it turned into something more akin to a foccacia with all the butter leaking out
 
Made another beef stew. This time made an attempt at a gluten free loaf of crusty bread. I think I realized why bakers score the bread before putting it in. This had a great crust, but the inside top had completely separated the entire length of the bread. Oh well, still good to wipe up the last drops of stew or to go with my Wisconsin goat cheese.

Chicken carbonara.

Overcooked the chicken & added a bit too much pepper, like an idiot, so it's kind of meh. I'm still going to eat it, but it's not my favorite thing I've made.

Why though? Does someone in your family have celiac? Because otherwise there is literally nothing wrong with gluten. It is the basic ingredient of bread, one of the best foods for humans in existence.

I have celiac :'(.
 
Chocolate crinkles, a specialty of my late Great-great-grandmother! I've got several versions of this recipe and no one is totally certain which one she used, but I found a recipe card in Great-Grandma Reldnahc's handwriting so it seemed like my best bet.

My best friend has Celiac and I never realized how much shit has random gluten in it until I started buying him snacks and going out to eat with him. But at the same time it's fun to test new gluten free recipes to bring him! He doesn't bake so he thinks I'm some kind of cookie wizard.
 
Still sick, still doing low-intensity cooking for now, hopefully I'll get to chimp out a bit soon.
Pasta today. I crisped up a few strips of bacon, added garlic, tomatoes, parsley, and green onions, some milk and some heavy cream because that's what I had on hand, and added grated romano at the end.

No, they score the bread to create a weak point in the gluten, allowing the bread to expand and rise properly. But, as you mentioned that you made gluten-free bread, it will rise like a cake, not like bread.
 
Apparently salsa con queso is just fucking milk, cheese, and salsa so I made that instead of paying 6 bucks for a tub of it.
It's literally in the name. God fucking dammit. Could've saved a bundle as a kid microwaving milk and cheese in a salsa. Now I wanna test out different salsa and cheeses.

Also made a beef quesadilla from some leftover filipino tapas from a couple days ago. The marinade taste doesnt really add much but whatever it was leftovers.

There are some pretty strong studies linking gluten to making autism symptoms worse

Why would a Kiwi Farmer care about autism? We're the most neurotypical people on the planet!
 
I just cooked a dish I call "pseudo-paella", it's a keto stir fry dish I came up with myself consisting of finely chopped cauliflower, oysters and shrimp fried together in lots of butter and tabasco sauce, it tastes a lot like paella but is way quicker and less messy, plus almost no carbs, the only problem is that the frozen shrimps I used have a weird crappy aftertaste.
 
Did a nice grilled chicken and pasta in oil with crumbled feta (hey it was handy) and veg.

Also APPARENTLY WE LIVE IN A HAND PASTA HOUSE NOW.

Caught Mrs basso sneaking left overs right out of the tupper ware like a damned raccoon. Disgusting. She's a dago too should know better with pasta.

Guys I think I should kill her.
 
Did a shopska salad, a lot like a Greek salad but with Bulgarian feta and roasted red pepper (skin removed and chopped).
 
Made weeb omelette (aka tamogoyaki) for the first time today and it was surprisingly fucking nice despite being my first attempt and more importantly is crazy easy to make.....assuming you are a big enough faggot to have your own square tamogoyaki frying pan. Also can apparently last up to two weeks in the freezer so might make in bulk tomorrow for some easy lunches
