Just finished icing my first cake; a surprisingly moist and flavorful carrot cake

gonna share with the neighbors tomorrow

Peanut butter sandwich and... yes, orange-carrot juice.

I love to cook. I was surprised at the amount of guy friends I have that don't even know how to boil pasta let alone prepare a full home cooked meal.

Anyways, here's what I've been making:

Homemade Pizza on Wheat Crust, Jalapeno Peppers, Fresh Spinach, Fresh Garlic, Olive Oil, Sauce and Turkey Sausage:



Marinated Pork. Slow Roasted in Banana Leaves for 4 Hours:

After 4 Hours Mmmmm

I served the Pork with Sauteed Veggies and also made white rice:

Holy shit Polar Sky! Your wife must fucking love you! I can't cook shit in Japan as I don't know what half the ingredients are at the supermarket. I make great British food though, if that counts for anything?

polar sky, you're starting to make me regret my vegetarianism

Haha, yeah... That pork fell apart it was so tender and juicy, full of sweet spicy flavor. I don't eat a lot of pork at all though only when I make that dish. I don't eat red meat either. I eat a lot of turkey and chicken though. I've been red meat free for like 2 years now, I went to my Brother's house and all they had for dinner was steak and burgers/grill out food. I ate a burger and got sooo sick. Tried to eat some Meat Loaf earlier this year and I my stomach was on edge...

Yeah she loves it. She makes some good food too though. What is your favorite British Dish that you like to make?

Tell me about it lol. Accidentally ate some chicken (hidden in mashed potatoes, for god's sake!) recently for the first time in over a year and nearly choked! Probably all psychological seeing as it was only a bite, but nevertheless it was pretty gross

I love meat. NOMNOMNOM

Daaaaamn! Yum.

Me and my BFFs Shannon and Amanda get together every week and cook something, then smoke weed, drink wine and watch My Little Pony.

We've made:

Sushi (crab rolls, asparagus rolls, fried tofu rolls)

Spicy teriyaki vegetable stir fry

Curried cauliflower

Alfredo pasta with lemon zest, garlic, green olives and artichoke hearts

and I just got word from their house that they have pickled 1lb of garlic.

the recipe:

1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 cup water, 2 TB salt, a TB or two of crushed red pepper, 1/4 teaspon death rain cajun seasoning (mostly cayenne powder), a few fresh sage leaves, and about a pound of garlic.

food is love <3

Damn Polar Sky! That looks good! Too bad I can't really eat pork... I balloon up when i eat it! But I love it!

Holy shit, that Pork looks amazing. Makes me hungry!

Making kolaches today! The dough is rising as we speak..

There's a large German/Czech/Polish population in central/east Texas, where I used to live. Visited over Memorial Day weekend. Enjoyed the obligatory dozen kolaches. Figured I'd come home and try and make them myself.

Hope they turn out well..

Food and communal eating are so awesome. Eating together and talking is so enjoyable.

I cooked cheese and bacon tortellini tonight with tomato and basil sauce, on a bed of spinach garnished with jalapenos, was damn fine.

I made pepperoni and mushroom pizzas today using naan bread... got the idea from trader joes. The type of cheese that I used escapes me right now, but that cheese is what pulled those pizzas together.

Naan is, without a doubt, some of the most delicious stuff on Earth. Stuff it just a little with some lamb and brush it with a bit of olive oil and throw some spices on there.. oh man.

Perfect little Indian restaurant a little ways from my apartment has some of the best naan I've ever had.

Bump for justice. I find cooking just so therapeutic, sociable and just a good life skill to be able to explore and share and develop your own style!

Spaghetti Bolognaise tonight, with the bolognaise made from scratch. Usually add carrots mushrooms and broccoli to make it really something but tonight there was no veg, so just went with the garlic/onion/tinned tomato/spices/mincemeat recipe which is always delicious. Slow cooked it for extra long this time and added Henderson's Relish (native and I think exclusive to the north of England - SO good) and added a bit more salt. Powdered with grated cheddar. Awesome
