Peas are underrated. I love peas. I could just have a bowl of peas for dinner.

 

Update: I ate a whole bowl of peas for dinner

 

mushy peas are one of the things the UK got absolutely right

 

I made some paella this weekend with some friends. My super homecook friend made an amazing fish stock from scratch and then we all attempted some variation of it. They bought the specific kind of rice (and saffron - shits expensive) and then we had mussels, clams, shrimp, squid, octopus, quail, chicken, Argentinean chorizo, green beans etc - all sorts of quality ingredients were available to use.

They actually bought paella pans but they were too small and low quality so it went like this:
1st batch - mushy rice, burnt bottom, a bit over seasoned (great seafood though - clams and mussels, so not a bust)
2nd batch - decent rice, slightly burnt bottom, under seasoned, great use of quail so again, not a bust.

3rd batch - (me) I used a much bigger pan that wasn't technically a paella pan but it got the best results. Pretty perfect rice, a nice caramelization on the bottom without it being burnt, and I used some chicken stock in addition to the fish. My only knock was I wasn't comfortable with cooking the seafood besides the squid / octopus and shrimp so I didn't use any of the mussels or clams. It just just chicken drumsticks plus that seafood for protein.

I want to seek out the best Paella in town now so I know what to aim for. It was a great day cooking with friends though (and for once it wasn't a competitive deal, just all trying something new and learning together).

 

Made lobster rolls last night

 

Those look amazing!

 

GOAT food (although I'm impartial to the warm butter style)

 

They were fantastic! I usually prefer the butter ones too (not the biggest mayo guy) but I did still butter the brioche buns.

 

a weird problem to have but I ordered 25lbs if baklava for work and got 25lbs of raw phyllo dough that I can’t use for work. I’d love to use it for my own personal use so it doesn’t go to waste, does anyone have some recipes other than baklava or spanikopita that use phyllo and they like?

 

apple strudel?
