What are you cooking today and how?

[Ken]

Since when is buttering bread considered cooking?
Seriously Ken, I'd expect that from 2D, but you?!

How about if I churned my own butter?

Only if it makes you hot Ken.

That's correct. That's what cooking is. And can we agree that there are countless methods of cooking available?

Now think about this: I began applying heat to the meat AND the butter the instant I took them out of the fridge, didn't I?

I guess you're cooking just by having a pulse.
OK.

Yep. Except I ain't gonna' have a pulse much longer if I keep eating that way.

Looks good, no question about it. If I were on death row and my time was up, I'd certainly have it as part of the menu.

Well, you know...pearls of wisdom like that can only come from one place--2D.
Just givin' you a compliment, boy.

Saturday, I made pork chops with garlic scape buttermilk mashed potatoes, and salad. Unfortunately I forgot to take pics, and there were no survivors.

For dessert, blueberry buttermilk cake:

I highly recommend it, and you can use any berry you have on hand:

The next morning, I used some of the leftover mashed potatoes to make a potato pancake for breakfast, with cottage cheese and homegrown tomato to go with:

Last night was just some cheap steak, that I marinated for about an hour, and then flung in the grill pan for a couple minutes. The real star was the parmesan polenta that went with. The medium or coarse grind cornmeal stuff is really the key. Some overly mature asparagus on the side:

Since it's Monday, and I forgot to get anything out of the freezer, nothing special tonight.

For supper, I had chicken salad (that I made.) on saltines. Not exactly bacon sammich's, but not bad for semi-healthy stuff. LOL

Blackened on purpose, or are you just kinda new at the whole grillin' thing???? LOL

Blackened on purpose I am afraid. I don't like eating charcoal if I don't have to. It's funny that you ask about the blackened part. Most people ask about the dolphin part.
