[Avis-Mergulus]

The best liquid form of milk I ever drank came from Caucasus and was called "tan". Or "airan", it had both of these on the bottle.

Yup, it's pretty much the same thing. Used to get it in supermarkets where I am, but strangely not anymore.

So it didn't explode and sprayed thick hot white liquid at you?

It won't explode if you don't let the water boil away. And even if it does, that's all part of the fun.

I am about to embark on making some New England-style clam chowder.


FOR GLORY! FOR CHOWDERCLEF!!!!

I on the other hand will attempt to make burgers.

Without beef (because they didn't have any so I went mixed pork and beef), with rather small buns, and the barest of condiments (onions and pickled salad). But it will have bacon, so there's that.

Will report on wether or not I survived and wether or not was it any good.

So Jopax, how were the burgers?

And since the topic of dairy products came up, melktert is marvelous and is a wonderful light... dish? Confection? Pie? for light teas.

They were suprisingly good. First time I was making them and I only had a general idea on how to make the stuff.

I learned that one egg is way too much for some 200 odd grams of meat though, so I needed to add some bread crumbs into the mix to make it a bit thicker and more workable.

Will definitely try making them again, with just beef hopefully.


Also used the leftover meat to make some sort of tomato sauce thing. Tossing the meat with some onions and bacon before drowning it in a bit much tomato puree (I really didn't want to waste any so I just poured the entire box in). Ended up a bit runny but still pretty good with bread.

Meat is fun!

leftover meat

This is a thing?

[Jopax]

Well I bought half a kilo of ground meat. I can maybe eat that in one meal, when it's a barbecue, lasts several hours and I'm drinking. Otherwise no, so I used half yesterday and half today.

Plus it's easier that way, I buy for two days on Saturday so I don't have to go shopping for stuff on Sunday.

How many burgers did this one pound of meat make?

[Jopax]

Five small ones. Slightly smaller than my averagly sized palm. One of them was wierdly shaped though. I might try making bigger ones next time if I find a bigger bun to use and if I have enough foresight to prepare the meat a couple of hours in advance so I don't have to worry about it falling apart as I try to flip it, since this time around I didn't let it sit in the fridge for that long.

The best burger I ever had was made of a porterhouse steak and two flatbreads.

[MaximumZero]

Jopax: try and find good Kaiser rolls. They hold my 1/2lb (~220g) burgers just fine.

So I'm making a heart stew. I bought some lamb hearts for real cheap, trimmed the fat and valves off, then put them in the slowcooker with a vegetable stock cube, carrots, tinned tomatoes, and few beans and peas and some onion.

Hopefully it'll turn out well.

Lamb heart stew sounds like some kind of calming potion from a RPG.

So I had half a bag of old potatoes.

Old potatoes.

We basically cooked them with a sliced-up bell pepper, salt, some spices, an onion, and a whole lot of pepper, then pureed the whole mess.
It looked like the sludge you'd get in prison, and the amount of pepper made you suspect evil things of what you could no longer taste, but on the whole it tasted pretty good.

[Bauglir]

They, uh, they weren't green under the skins, right?
