Since cooking is apparently my way of coping with quarantine, I’m going to thread these to make it easier to track and mute. https://twitter.com/databrarian/status/1240755225939542018
Shakshuka + toasted English muffin bread. Using up more of the bell peppers and grape tomatoes I had left. First time making this English muffin loaf — it’s really good and hearty. Subbed goat cheese for feta and it was still delicious~

Convinced @tpchristiana to start watching #YuriOnIce so it’s time for #katsudon tonight, and possibly Grandpa Plisetsky’s katsudon pirozhki tomorrow.

Another dalgona — this time with cocoa and peanut butter~ helps cut the weird instant coffee chemical flavor~ #dalgonacoffee #달고나커피 #초코달고나
...ok this might be the best pasta I’ve ever made. Combo of rehydrated mushrooms, leftover shakshuka (sans eggs obv), toasted spiced chickpeas, various veg + chicken I needed to use up, and served with Greek yogurt.

“This makes two loaves or 24 muffins — bake the full amount and freeze some for later” Sure, Jan.

Today was a day for using up milk that was getting too far past the expiration date — first up, a dulce de leche latte and #HokkaidoMilkBread (I’m still so bad at yeast breads 
I never knead enough, but it was still fine) #QuarantineKitchen

Then an adaptation of Jamie Oliver’s chicken in milk with lemon + garlic & pan gravy, & roasted potatoes with kale & shallots. Could I have roasted the potatoes longer & let them brown properly? Yes. Was I bad at timing & too hungry to let it wait? Also yes. #QuarantineKitchen

Making mantou, plain steamed buns #QuarantineKitchen
Plain rose-shaped mantou; red bean bun; toasted mantou with cucumbers, egg, and Korean sausage fried in soy sauce and brown sugar; and scallion buns toasted and used as sandwich buns for leftover biangbiangmian sauce which I’m calling a Chinese sloppy joe. #QuarantineKitchen

Happy Tuesday! here’s some dinner ideas, starting with donuts, which are absolutely a balanced meal.
Chicken Marsala and orzo with blistered tomatoes, zucchini, and spinach #QuarantineKitchen
Prosciutto, tomato, cheese, & poached egg crostini, and bacon, spinach, and sundried tomato paccheri #QuarantineKitchen
Blistered cherry tomatoes + crumbled goat cheese on avocado toast, and peach prosciutto flatbread. #QuarantineKitchen
Had apricots to use up - mostly stone fruit tort, and finished up the last of the prosciutto with some summer veg for a light pasta with peach apricot lemonade. #QuarantineKitchen
And finally catching up to today with a warm potato and chickpea salad. Love these brown tomatoes. #QuarantineKitchen
I thought I was recording video but wasn’t 
anyway, first attempt at kichi kichi omurice went pretty well. Served over leftover garlicky turmeric rice with the rest of the spiced toasted chickpeas and scallions, and smothered in a Japanese style curry gravy. #QuarantineKitchen

Aloo gobi (recipe: http://zaiqa.net/2009/10/home-is-where-comfort-is-simple-pleasures/) & since I was craving a lassi but had no ingredients for it, I went with a Korean bev of drinking yogurt + sprite. Thanks @nikhatje for the recipe blog rec!
I was craving a particular kind of fast food but fuck those homophobes so I made my own

Goat cheese tomato tart #QuarantineKitchen
Lord but today has been long and it isn’t over for a while yet. Taking a break from zoom calls for dinner. Today it’s shrimp n grits, another quarantine make-do meal — didn’t quite have all the right ingredients (I’m out of andouille 
) but it worked out, mostly.

Shortbread two ways (defo added too much butter to the first buuuut I’m not mad about it bc BUTTER): chocolate chip and lemon tahini #QuarantineKitchen
Leftover braised beef + a tomato + kimchi substituted for bok choi + heap of spices = some kind of almost niu rou mian situation (as always, my noodle:soup ratio is off, bc I love soup but I love noodles more)
Egg foo young #QuarantineKitchen
Anybody else desperately recreating cafe vibes to try to get some work done? #QuarantineKitchen #boba #bubbletea #bobaicedcoffee
Something simple tonight - roasted tomatoes, garlic, and burrata on pasta #QuarantineKitchen
Still thinking about this loin w/Cumberland sauce from last week’s #hannibal dinner party. Stuck to @FeedingHannibal’s original concept as much as I could. Served w/beans & fried shallots (my 
were ifffy) & blue cheese, & glazed apple wedges garnished w/caramel shards.

Two takes in Japanese sandwiches - a many-vegged wanpaku sando, and a deviled eggs sando, with strawberry coconut pink drink~ 
Anyone care to guess what fruit I got too much of in my last grocery run? Strawberry matcha milk. Next time will add boba, but I don’t like the brand I got last time~

Have you ever purchased the platonic ideal of a watermelon, then spent the rest of the summer chasing that high with mediocre, mealy, pale imitations that you end up making into granitas or, in this case, yakult soju cocktails? No? Just me?
Green goddess salad - potatoes, green beans, eggs, cucumbers, and pickled shallots #QuarantineKitchen
Time to update I guess! Had a craving for shrimp tacos but the usual lockdown challenge of not-quite-right ingredients. At least I had corn tortillas this time ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ #QuarantineKitchen

A messy, lightly overcooked confit byaldi ratatouille with pesto couscous salad. I was on a call with some fab @LibraryFreedom folk, so je ne regrette rien
