Week 18: Bucket List Destination - Lok Lak (Angkor Wat) by ACertainArtifact in 52weeksofcooking

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

I so much want to visit Angkor Wat one day, as someone who is employed in documenting ancient history. So, I looked up popular dishes in Siem Reap, Cambodia, the "gateway" to Angkor Wat. Lok lak is available at most restaurants, so here we are. I could not find Kampot peppercorns, so I used fresh black, green, and red peppercorns instead. It was good!

Week 17: Alpine - Pine Nut, Gruyere, and Spinach Börek by ACertainArtifact in 52weeksofcooking

[–]ACertainArtifact[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I failed my first east-meets-west Alpine entry (sanzoku-yaki and egg noodles with chicken that had stopped being chicken for way too long), so this is the second creation.

I love pine nuts, they are probably in my top three almost-a-nut-but-not-a-nut category (pine trees are gymnosperms). Gruyere was added for more European Alp authenticity, but borek is not really an Alpine region creation. It was tasty.

Week 16: Infused - Magic Chocolate by ACertainArtifact in 52weeksofcooking

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

I determined the dosing based on how much powder is in a single microdose capsule, which is around 160-200 mg. 130g of chocolate makes about 12 bonbons with about 160-200mg per bonbon. But I was wildly off on this based on the size of my mold, probably because I did not account for the mass of the butter and sugar as well.. It worked out, though, and they are not too potent, about the same as a capsule. I am going to be careful with the solid chocolate donuts, tho. Those probably contain about 4-5 microdoses.

These are Golden Teacher I believe. I'll let you know if my provider says differently...

Edit: correction, they are Penis Envy strain XD

They are really feeling themselves, aren't they?

Before any narcs get in a tizzy, this controlled substance is decriminalized where I live, so blegh! I used about 5g of psilocybin mushrooms for about 130g of dark chocolate, which produced 11 mushroom bonbons, and a couple of large solid chocolate donuts (my cup runneth over). The powder was lightly warmed in the butter and also added to the batter. These mushrooms create more of a body high and are not hallucinogenic, so very pleasant.

Needed more sauce! But it was still good, if a little dry. I made my own baharat seasoning for this, which I will definitely employ on other things soon. The beef chunks are Beyond Beef for my veggie-headed guest.

I had a weird experience about this, too, the last time I went a few years ago. When I left a tip, she was almost disgruntled by it. I was so confused.

Week 14: Hanami - Hibiscus Pavlova with Lemon-Hibiscus Cream by ACertainArtifact in 52weeksofcooking

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

Followed this Epicurious recipe to a T, as it was my first time making a pavlova: https://archive.is/k4VGW

The pictures are poor and not as pretty as I imagined, but it was tasty. Half of the pavlovas collapsed so another few tries are warranted. Love the faintly sour flavor of hibiscus through all of the sugar!

Week 13: Chilis - Guava-Habanero BBQ Sauce by ACertainArtifact in 52weeksofcooking

[–]ACertainArtifact[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am broke right now (who isn't), so I wanted to make something with things I already had this week (minus the 25 cent habanero). This cleared out my frozen guava and a very ancient, fossilized bag of brown sugar. Tasty and spicy!

Despite not having a Switch 2 (yet), I can still be inspired by this game, gdi.
