    Smash burgers are great. Tacos are great. Combining them? Pretty great. Basically you start the smash burger normally, flip it, then cover with a tortilla to finish it. Then flip again to fry the tortilla – then top with cheese/sauce/lettuce etc. Its more effort than tacos, and more effort than smash burgers. But very delicious!…

    Used to be, we’d fry up tortillas in a pool of hot oil. For mass production, easier cleanup, and sheer laziness, I came up with a better method. Brush the tortillas with oil and throw them in the oven for a while. Pile with chili and toppings. Easy, probably 100x healthier, and all that fried…

    Kim’s company brought us to the Capital Grille for their holiday party. You could say I ate well that night….. And for those who got the tomahawk – we got a fun chef’s hat as a prize for finishing. Yes, I got that hat!

    Dry ingredients mixed separate from the wet ones, per King Arthur Flour’s Recipe of 2018. I cannot count how many of these things I’ve made since 2018. Sometimes with choco chips, caramel chips, often without. Lately I have considered a recommendation from AI – a swirl of peanut butter. I’m very intrigued by that one.…

    In the air fryer! Ridiculously easy. Sprinkle some oil and stuff on the filets, toss potato chunks with oil and other stuff. Potatoes took 20-25 minutes I think? And probably 5-7m with the fish. Parchment under the fish helped fry the skin better and keep any off flavors from the rest of the machine. Also…

    Sure, it sounds like a seasonal gimmick – but it really is tasty. Willy in fact demands it constantly, so there is quite a stockpile in the basement freezer. Worth a try!

    There’s a new chain up here. You serve yourself beer, and you order food on your phone to pickup at a counter. Its all very.. interesting. Think of the beer like pumping your own gas (foreign in NJ yes) – you pour and get charged by the ounce. And the one local here is in…

    There is a distinct pleasure in running veggies through a mandolin. The speed, ease, and perfect cuts.. really neat. And treading that fine line of “too close” to “that was part of my finger” adds a little thrill! No fingers were sacrificed in this round.. I don’t think. The rest of this meal – Honestly…

    A simple quesadilla is a common go-to meal around here. Trader Joes tortilla, some meat, cheese, maybe some beans – fry up on both sides and done. Ask Willy and half a tub of sour cream is also needed. And while you have the pan hot, and cheese handy..
