What’s cookin’ good lookin?

[Steve Miller]

I’ve been passing over the breakfast beans but this morning I had some on toast in honor of Andy!

Squirrel pot pie. No. Just no.

Ew

[AndyD]

I suppose it's all just meat if you're a meat eater, be it squirrel or blackbird, swan or boar.
That's scrummy glazed pastry crust in the photo

[Mik]

Maybe, but I’m not eating cat or dog either.

@Mik

As far as you know…

[Mik]

There are places you don't ask what the fresh catch is.

Fascinating recipe. Could have edited the video (it drags a bit), so jump ahead when you're ready to see the next step.

The video won't embed here; just click on 'Link to video'.

Link to video

[Mik]

Jeez. That is by far the worst cooking video ever.

[Mik]

I couldn’t get to the end because I hated them so much for dragging it out.

[wtg]

It looks really good. The finished product, that is. The video is bad.

Crispy cauliflower cheese shell filled with bacon, onions, mushrooms in a cream sauce, topped with some more cheese. What’s not to like?

[Mik]

Indeed. I don’t suppose you have a recipe?

[wtg]

The ingredients are listed in the description but no instructions.

I’ll take one for the team and try to put together an actual recipe while watching the video again.

Wish me luck. And don’t wait up for me.

Cleaned out a corner cupboard last week and ran across the pasta machine that I haven't used in many years. So, I made pasta earlier today, cooked it up for dinner. One forgets how easy it is and now I'm retired it's no big deal to make pasta around noon and have it ready for dinner. It will remain secured to the work surface for now, where I intend to use it regularly.

[Mik]

Nice!

I'm baking today, which I NEVER do. But we have to bring a dessert to a neighborhood patio crawl. So...

Cookies are my Kryptonite. I cannot resist them.

Plum torte! The little Italian prunes are in season, and they make delicious tortes. My recipe is a mashup of NYTimes, Smitten Kitchen, and Food52.

Plum delicious!

@AdagioM I think I read that the NYT recipe for plum torte remains their most popular recipe EVER!

[Steve Miller]

The plums right now are spectacular!

Looks great!

[AdagioM]

@RealPlayer There’s a good reason for that! So good.

My version subs in cornmeal for 1/4 cup of the flour. Nice texture.

[Mik]

I saw the NYT recipe. Yum!

I'm marinating Huli Huli Chicken for the grill tonight. Started marinating yesterday. Should be delish.
