First time?
Using the machine.
YES I LOVED IT
Made some shrimp scampi with oil & garlic linguine.
The shrimp turned out beautifully, if I do say so myself.
Red beans & rice on a Monday night!
I just made the most incredible grilled cheese sandwich.
Goat cheese
Balderson 4 yr cheddar
Fried shallots & mushrooms w/ Tony's & msg
Also ghee instead of butter
I tasted like French onion soup in grilled cheese sandwich form.
I need more.
You guys ever watch videos for inspiration?
This guy's voice took forever to get over. BUT... he's got some pretty wicked experiments that he does with dry-aging steaks, and he made this compound butter with beef marrow and a cured egg yolk that I really want to try. He also did a dry-age experiment with MSG that got great reviews from the judging panel.

I've done marrow butter and it's fantastic. One of the best ways to top a steak. Also cured egg yolk shavings are a great way to top anything since it looks cool and adds so much umami.

What is that meat up top. I'm salivating ova here!
Switched out some herbs and spices from the Puerto Rican Arroz con Pollo I usually make and made some Creole chicken & rice. (Overcooked the chicken a touch)
my birthday cake
Chicken Caesar salad with homemade croutons tonight.
Guiness lamb stew with taters, turnips, carrots, celery, onion & peas.
I'm trying to cut down on the amount of sodium I consume, so I subbed in some pork loin with a Cajun seasoning I made up for the andouille I usually use for red beans & rice. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks good.
Got a belated bday present from my folks (my mom picked it out).
Super excited to use it.

Should I be worried?

Yes
Went dumpster diving a few days ago and found a buttload of Oreos, I'm thinking about making trash brownies with some of them.
Before & after:
IT'S SANDY TIME!!!!
Oh, it's been a beefy kind of weekend.

I haven't had a parfait in forever, and those berries look FRESH.

No kidding. I guess I'll have to pick up some raspberries tomorrow afternoon since I haven't had fresh fruit in months.
Finished my meat sauce (phrasing, boom).
I very much prefer the crunch bits of frying ground beef and pork, so I did that, which a deviation from traditional bolognese as I understand it. Also added my own twists, and it turned out amazing. Smoked paprika is the bees knees, plus msg and Tony's, dried oregano, basil, thyme, pepper, salt, shredded carrots and sliced shallots, leftover fried mushrooms and shallots, can of peeled tomatoes, chicken broth, and a whole bottle of sauv blanc that is absolutely undrinkable.
Anywho... Gonna use it to make lasagne with bechamel, and some pecorino and Parmigiano.
Made some BBQ Maui ribs for supper, and they were phenomenal even though I forgot a few key ingredients.
I blended some frozen pineapple, then mixed in some of this amazing black bean sauce (or thick soy sauce?), sushi vinegar, sesame oil, msg, Tony's, pepper, garlic powder, shallots, maybe a dash of cinnamon, and let marinate for about 6 hours.
Forgot some fresh ginger, and some lime might have been good too. Next time.
So good. Sweet and savoury. For a pack of 3, is was like $10, so super cheap too. Definitely worth making for a group supper.
I think I'll be focusing on some SE Asian cuisine this summer.
Jasmine rice with onion, ginger, garlic and sesame oil, broccoli, and grilled chicken breast seasoned with Chinese 5 spice powder.
Ughhhh 🤤 
Some delicious pasta salad I made featuring garden veggies - garden tomatoes, green bell peppers, onion & pepperjack cheese cubes
Chicken I seasoned Souvlaki style(salt, pepper, rosemary, oregano, garlic, olive oil & lemon juice) and some macaroni slad I made.(way too much celery)
Threw together some General Tso's shrimp, jasmine rice with ginger, garlic and onion and broccoli.
And, of course, I had to whip up some Beelzebubed eggs for Memorial Day.
