Used some ground chicken to make burger patties in celebration of temperatures hitting the 80s in Chicago. God thanked this by making it dip back down to the 40s the next day. Thanks god :/

My perfectly seared rib eye steak. God bless my iron skillet, a meal fit for a king in about 6 minutes (well 9 if you count letting the steak rest).

Toad in the hole (egg in the basket) with a sprinkling of grated pecorino romano, courtesy of moi! It was quite tasty, if I may say so myself.

Went out on a limb and cooked with an item I’ve never used before: red lentils. Nothing is safer and masks inexperience better than soup so I improvised a red lentil and chickpea soup. It came out amazing, definite keeper.

Kitchen Stadium lab test 432: fig, goat cheese, clementine and honey croissants.
Results: scrumptious and delicious. May need to fight off earthlings for more.

This is my latest diversion for idle hands: Nutella chocolate chip mini croissants. Spanks much?

New kitchen experiment: saganaki bitches! The perks of living behind a Greek supermarket is limitless supplies of nom nom cheese to set aflame with brandy and tame its flames down with lemon juice. Fire Marshall Bill would approve ;)

Our breakfast of confusion: Sunny side egg over a masala veggie patty, some rolls that never quite made it into crescent form, avocado/tomato and off camera my saganaki beta test. Ahhh breakfast just like mom used to make O_o

Kicked off the weekend with my berry tiramisu. Hadn’t made this in a long while and my recipe is in storage along with all my other belongings, but I’m glad to say my memory didn’t fail me. I was able to whip it up in a faithful recreation.
