Went in the kitchen to check on the brats and the burner wasn't on

Well that's not gonna work

The best thing about bacon is BACON GREASE

I almost forgot the vegetables! Also heating up frozen chopped spinach in the remaining bacon/pork juice.

Pork chops! With lemon pepper Mrs Dash and cooked in bacon grease for extra porkiness

To be served with oven-prepared frozen french fries

You don't gotta be fancy you just gotta be tasty!

the chicken thigh is definitely the unsung hero of the chicken

the meat's flavorful and there's plenty of fat, and it's bone-in so you get extra flavor during cooking from that.

Came out delish. Served with kraft mac n cheese cause we are adults in this household!

Chicken thighs w/ lemon pepper Mrs Dash, in progress

It's not fancy cooking but it was easy and tasty!

As served, with spots of Louisiana Crystal Sauce

Breakfast is cookin

Much better color on this one. Lower temp works better with this pan.

Maybe I underbuttered

Tastes good except it's a bit carbonized. ;) I had the heat too high for this pan, I think it transmits heat differently from our last pan. Also the bread isn't ideal as it browns very aggressively (some "country potato" variety)

Don't judge me for my grilled cheese

One person voted, and I love you, person. <3

Did any of y'all grow up with your mom making recipes from the Official Star Trek Cooking Manual?

We used to make "Walter Koenig's Piroshki" all the time when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. I got to help roll out the dough, mix the filling, and fold the piroshki!

I should pull that recipe back out and make it, mostly need the crescent roll dough and a little sour cream which we don't usually have in the house lately.

Oat milk?

Hi all! I'm a techie dude in Portland, Oregon who likes to cook and eat from time to time.

Well, I like to eat regularly. And I cook some stuff regularly. But I would like to cook more and better! ;)

I'll occasionally post some recipes I've had or found with photos of the results. Nothing just now, but hopefully soon! :)
