he always texts with emojis like “I had a good beer today” or “where is the pizza from”

 

He's got style

 

Both places are great. Just stay away from Gates BBQ. It's trash

 

Bill Gates?

 

The very same

 

ken repost that picture wtf it was my mona lisa

 

Been obsessed with this breakfast the last few weekends when I have some time to make it. French omelette (needs some work) and cantaloupe with prosciutto, mint and honey

 

I can’t decide if I’m happy with it lol

 

well my partner and i were plenty happy gawking last night

 

Holy shit that looks amazing

 

baked pork chop, roasted broccoli (fresh), and Spanish rice


wound up using the apple butter bbq sauce for the pork chop sheeeeesh

 

food related: I’ve got a phone interview with Gordon Ramsays new restaurant here next week for a serving position

 

Just added iced tea concentrate to my skillet because it was in a same shaped container as my vegetable broth. Going great over here

 

Tea is vegetables.

 

I got asked back for an in person interview. Chances Gordon himself is there to see if I can name all the ingredients in his signature dishes?

 

I know some of you are like super talented cooks and whatnot, but I'm still proud of myself making home cooked meals more and more these days instead of just frozen crap and pasta haha. I'm really getting the hang of cooking chicken breast and still keeping it nice and juicy inside.

I still cheat a little by using a microwave bag of four cheese Uncle Ben's rice and microwave steam bags for the peas and corn, but hey, I still like it.

 

Looks exactly the same way as I cook stuff haha

 

I’ve spent a long time now trying to recreate a no-longer-available steak from a restaurant I love in Portland, Maine. They used to make a sirloin with red wine jus that was one of my absolute favorite meals, but it got taken off the menu sometime during the pandemic. This week I finally nailed it and I’m pretty stoked that I can have this at home now. (Just need to get a good garlic mashed potato recipe and I’ll be all set!)

 

Dang, share please?

 

This is what I've landed on for the red wine sauce:

1 tbsp. olive oil
2 shallots
5-6 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
1 cup red wine
1 cup beef stock
2 tbsp. salted butter
1/4 cup water
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. granulated sugar
black pepper, to taste

Dice shallots. Sauté 5-7 minutes in olive oil using a large frying pan over medium heat, until soft and translucent. Add red wine, bay leaf, and thyme sprigs, and continue cooking 8-10 minutes until reduced by half. Add beef stock and continue boiling over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until reduced by half again. Mix in butter and pepper while reducing. In a measuring cup, combine water and cornstarch, and add to sauce once reduced. Adjust heat to low-medium and continue cooking 2-3 minutes until thickened. Add sugar, remove bay leaf and thyme, and remove from heat.

 

Thank you!

 

guys i think grimace got hacked

 

never hold back from us Ken.

 

I made broccoli cheddar soup today. It was just okay but I had all the ingredients already except I had to buy one carrot so it was super easy and affordable. Not sure why I decided soup was good for 100 degrees weather but I have AC and didn't leave my house today so it didn't feel as weird as it could've lol
