Though I'm not sure if I'm allowed to disclose the guacamole and salsa recipes (ok maybe the salsa but the guacamole is a secret)

Bah, good guac is easy.

• 1 large red onion
• 2 large / 3 small avocadoes; RIPE ones!
• 1-2 tomatoes; flavour is vital here. Watery supermarket tomatoes will not work, so if you aren't growing them yourself, get cherry roma ones (not cherry OR roma, ones that are both cherry AND roma), and bump up the number to 6 or 7.
• 1-3 birdseye chillies; depends on your tolerance for heat. Even if you don't like spice, add at least one seeded chilli
• 1 small lime
• 1 cupped handful of coriander/cilantro
• Salt and pepper to taste; strangely enough, these are REQUIRED. It will not taste right without a bit of salt

Chop the chillies up fine, the coriander up coarse, add the juice and zest of the lime and give everything else a medium dice. Yes, that's right, a dice. You are not pureeing it, you're serving it chunky. Season with salt and pepper, mix, and serve immediately.

Ah but you're missing my families secret ingredient that makes it so delicious

Also we use like half a large yellow sweet onion instead of red onion

Yesterday I cooked a lot!

When I first saw the pic I thought you were implying that your cooking had failed so badly that you had to give it to the cat.

It actually looks pretty good, though!

I need homemade salsa in my life again. Nothing compares to those homegrown tomatoes and chillis.

Someday, when I actually have my own house, I am planting the biggest goddamn herb and vege garden the world has ever seen. Probably a few fruit trees too. Fresh, ripe tomatoes are a world apart.

That is exactly what I want to do when I have my own house.
Growing up harvesting food from my dad's vegie garden is a fond memory of mine.

Ya it was nice the first couple years that my family had a small garden, then my sisters denied to help weeding and my allergies started kicking my butt big time and we basicaly stopped using it.....
Also never try to grow pumpkins in a home garden that gets lots of sunlight, if you want other plants to grow

The sanctions are hurting us terribly. We served the last of our fresh button mushrooms yesterday as a side to baked sturgeon with own caviar and pomegranate, so we had to make do with some salted chanterelles today instead. If this continues, in a year we might be even running short on Prosecco!

Knit Tie, you're such a decadent...

Also, no hope you might be in St Petersburg in early february? I might be there on holidays. I'll try to smuggle some beers past the food ban.

[smeeprocket]

knit tie, you bourgeois pig.

Cavier! I can't believe people actually eat that. I thought it was pretend food rich people made up to trick the poor.

*next photo will be of Knit Tie downing a bottle of Crystal*

Caviar would be pretty delicious, were it not for all the salt. I swear it manages to be saltier than actual salt, somehow. Everything else sounds pretty damn delicious.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

I think the closest I came to caviar was the little tiny fish eggs put ontop of some sushi I got a couple weeks ago...

[Bauglir]

I just picked up a jar of the cheapest stuff available at the local grocery store. Like 7 bucks for an ounce or two, I think.

4 Ingredients. Infinite possibilities.

Spoiler: Fried Catfish! (click to show/hide)

I marinated the catfish in buttermilk for a few hours. I then used the excess buttermilk to dredge the catfish in peppered cornmeal. I then put a half-gallon of peanut oil in a large pan. No deep-fryer needed. It does take some finesse to keep the temperature right, especially without a thermometer.



Sizzle.



Protip: Cajuns butter their dirty rice. Otherwise it's too healthy.



Damn good.
