Cooking TNL Part II

[Josh]

I was making curry, uncovered the wok and got a blast of eye searing spiced steam. I felt like I dove eyeball first into a sweaty Indian dude's armpit.

I do not recommend this.

That happens at work all the time when I'm adding chili paste to stuff.

[Josh]

It was totally worth it, the curry was awesome.

I made a fruit compote for my waffles it was delish. Recipe:

*I used peaches, strawberries and blackberries but you can use whatever fruit you want*

You will need:

About 1/4 cup of each kind of fruit, I didn't measure it
1/2 cup water
like 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons of brown sugar

Just mix it in a pot and bring it to a boil. After it starts boiling turn the heat down to medium and continue cooking until the fruit is soft and it has reduced down to the consistency you want. Mine took about 15 minutes. It was so good and not too sweet. I think it would have been nice over some vanilla ice cream as well.

Yum... Reminds me that I need to make some strawberry pancakes soon.

[icarusfall]

I've got a rib roast in the oven.

Might make risotto as a side.

Sounds delicious.

I think it would have been nice over some vanilla ice cream as well.

needs to be repeated. It would be great over Vanilla Ice Cream.

I made Alfredo with Chicken.

Awesome. Only ate a little bit, due to me being sick ... again.

I got some unripe nectarines sliced them and sauteed them in butter till just a touch brown. Added a splash of white wine, a generous helping of honey, and a small touch of nutmeg; removed the nectarines and reduced to a thin syrup.

Holy hell it was good.

I have banana bread in the oven now.

[Advocate]

fuck that sounds good too. I wish I knew how to bake.

Also to the bakers: Should I have vanilla extract part of my pantry? I believe I know the answer, but still ....
