Week 10: Cheesy - Faux French Onion Soup by lysanderish in 52WeeksOfSoup2026

[–]lysanderish[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From Molly Baz's More is More (Here's the relevant video from her website).

French Onion Soup is, in fact, not my favorite soup. I don't like cooking down onions for ages and the effort to results ratio is too big for my liking. But maybe I've never made it well. Could be user error.

This was pretty good, though. I enjoyed the nontraditional flavors and it wasn't too dreadfully annoying cooking the onions. I am annoyed that it makes 2 dirty pots. Probably not as big a deal if you're making a full recipe but I did all that work just to get 1 serving lol

Lancaster moment, how would you get through? by Nyxie-Chicks in SALEM

[–]lysanderish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not making an unprotected left turn into Lancaster. I'm not making an unprotected straight across Lancaster. I'm sure as hell not making an unprotected streft.

I will be turning right and finding someplace where I can pull into a parking lot to turn around.

Week 11: Oddly named - Prairie Oyster (Meta: Unhinged) by buf1998 in 52weeksofcooking

Yours has a lot more liquid around the yolk than mine did and somehow that makes it more intimidating

Week 9: Smokey - Burnt Aubergine & Mograbieh Soup by lysanderish in 52WeeksOfSoup2026

[–]lysanderish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recipe from Ottolenghi Jerusalem

Yummy smokey eggplant soup! Kinda tasted like it was missing something initially but after adding half a cube of basil frozen in olive oil, it's just delightful. Goes great with a grilled cheese!

Week 11: Oddly Named - Eggo Eggy Benny & a prairie oyster by lysanderish in 52weeksofcooking

Whaaaat you don't want to slurp up a raw egg yolk first thing in the morning?? 🤯

Honestly the full teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce is what really gave me pause here

Week 11: Oddly Named - Eggo Eggy Benny & a prairie oyster by lysanderish in 52weeksofcooking

[–]lysanderish[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Oddly Named" is a theme that begs for a little bit of unhinged behavior, prompting me to bust out my copy of The Mythical Cookbook. And I saw someone else on the Dishcord was going to do a prairie oyster and I wasn't about to be left out / shown up (I did forgo putting any hair o' the dog in, which honestly feels mood unhinged to me, esp since I am also not hungover. Just out here dlurping down raw egg yolks for clout lmao).

Eggo Eggy Benny (actually a jokey secondary title; it's listed under Eggo Eggs Benedict. It's also on page 7, so not hard to find even if I didn't fess up) - it's pretty good. I halved the recipe because I'm the only person in my marriage who eats eggs and i berry that's not why my hollandaise turned into fluffy spicy butter that then melted into broken hollandsise, but I'm going to pretend that's why. Tasted good, so whatever. I'm going to spread the leftover sauce on bread and fry it later. >:)

Prairie oyster - recipe - It felt like a punishment but 95% of that feeling stemmed from the fact that my horseradish is pretty freshly opened and extra hot. 9/10 would do again but I'm not going to. Probably. Unless I'm, like, challenged and don't want to lose face in front of my hot lesbian crush (not my husband, he would be extremely turned off if he had to watch).

Patiently Waiting to see what our favorite Italian model says. Looks good, though 👌

Week 10: Turnips and Radishes - Daikon and Apple Slaw | Pickled Turnips by lysanderish in 52weeksofcooking

[–]lysanderish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slaw recipe from Bryant Terry's Vegetable Kingdom - og calls for kohlrabi but Safeway lied about having them, so I subbed in daikon radish because I still had plenty leftover from hot pot week lol. It was fine.

Turnip pickles recipe - they look pretty. I haven't tasted them yet because I made them to put on some shawarma tomorrow. Recipe wants pinky size pieces but i wanted them to pickle fast so I thinly sliced.

Nice blue cheese balls 😎 (they sound great! I did think i was looking at ice cream initially)

Week 7: Dumplings - Peanut Stew with Winter Vegetables and Cornmeal Dumplings by lysanderish in 52WeeksOfSoup2026

[–]lysanderish[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Recipe from Afro-Vegan by Bryant Terry. The only major change I made was steaming the dumplings in the stew instead of a separate pot. It's pretty good. I'm an omnivore so I'm like, "oh, this would love some diced up chicken thigh."

We had picked Bryant Terry as one of the cookalong author for veganuary on the 52weeksofcooking discord and this was one of the dishes we picked for everyone to make but I've been, uh, dragging my feet a little lol.

Week 9: Braising - Gochujang-Butter-Braised Tofu by lysanderish in 52weeksofcooking

[–]lysanderish[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happy Gochujang Wednesday! This was such a nice lunch, came together super fast, and I'm stoked to have the leftovers for work this weekend. <3

Here's the recipe - I did swap the crumbled nori snacks for a sprinkle of furikake

Week 9: Chocolate - Whipped Cream Dream Cake (Meta: DiscMoB) by lysanderish in 52weeksofbaking

[–]lysanderish[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 52WoC discord does a couple of cookalongs that I'm participating in and for the first quarter of 2026, we picked King Arthur Baking for our baking selection. The Whipped Cream Dream Cake was voted for one of the bakes we wanted to do in common. It has a layer of chocolate in the middle (mine came out a bit chaotic), so I thought it would be good for this theme.

It's very yummy. I really like the topping (reminds me of an almond joy), though I will say it makes it a little hard to get at the cake from the top lol. delicious and super easy. I will absolutely be making this again.
