You a crispy guy or a chewy guy?

You a crispy guy or a chewy guy?

TWSS

I like both depending on mood. This was my first attempt at chewy in a while, and the first two batches were cooked too long and turned crispy.

My forking has produced four kids, so I assume it works just fine.

Forking? More like fourking amirite?

How long is too long to wait to use fresh parsley? I've had a sealed bag in my fridge drawer (humidity controlled) for the past 2 weeks and I am wondering when is too late to cook with it. I just unsealed it today (plan on cooking with it tomorrow) and it's moist from condensation but has no noticeable smell.

Im sure its fine.

i store parsley in a little jug of water that i keep on the counter. It lasts a week or so.

Anybody else have an Instant Pot fail?

Mine is no longer sealing. I replaced the O-ring with an Instant Pot brand ring. Still not sealing. It will beep and cook as if it's up to temperature, but steam is coming out and I can hear the liquid boiling. The only way to get it to seal is to press down on the lid.

 

[RedLantern]

that sucks, lid must be warped?

I would say you can use it until it goes bad - smelly, slimey, dried out, yellowed, spotty, or generally rotten.

Onion and potato tart with thyme and a local cheese in an alpine style. My wife makes a killer pie crust so with that given me it was a dead easy dinner with a salad (with apple) on the side with a nice lemon vinaigrette. Would have loved to open a Savoie roussane I have with that, but not feeling so well so had some generic chenin blanc I dont mind having a few ounces of and retutning to the fridge under its screwcap. The wine was definitely the low point. I love love love savory pies.

Mussels with saffron

Cauliflower soup w/ sultana relish and fried capers. Levain from an unbelievably good local bakery.

Probably will keep this recipe in the bank for a first course someday. And figure out a better way to plate it

Freedom crullers

 

[Lizard23]

Made a neopolitan/italian american version of pizza rustica. i make one every easter to keep up the tradition. This year I tried an all lard crust. It needs work and not my most beautiful, but the tase is great and its super flaky, almost too flaky

anxiously awaiting cutting into it tomorrow with a nice glass of red wine.

Tried ‘Detroit’ pizza today.
Was good. Looking up Kenji’s recipe now

 

[Piobaire]

Go to Detroit. Drive out of Detroit to Dearborn or Southgate or Taylor(tucky) or Allen Park and look for a mom and pop Eye-tie backery. Grab a pan of pizza, bring it home and dress it up a bit, bake.

Kenjis is stupid easy and good. I dont use straight brick cheese, more a 60/40 mozz/brick blend. And I don’t fuss with making my own sauce. Rao’s marinara works just fine but if you want to compare you can do the whole scratch recipe first.
