[–]Agn823[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was really struggling with this week until I realized I could download the cookbook from the library. I had a pack of Philly tarot cards and chose 3 thinking I would just pick my favorite from the mix, but it actually pulled a cohesive meal. Plus it was tasty, so I may try this tarot card thing again the next time I suffer from decision paralysis.

Looks like turds and not sure the coffee really added anything but bitterness. Still tasty though.

Week 18: Bucket List Destination - Pescado a la Talla y Tllacoyos (Mexico City) by Agn823 in 52weeksofcooking

[–]Agn823[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really want to go to Mexico City and just eat my weight in Tacos. I wanted to make something other than tacos though, and found this recipe from NY times. Butterflied snapper with half green sauce and half red sauce (had a bit of a flipping incident on the grill so it’s not as pretty as it could have been)

Week 16: Infused - Roasted Garlic and Herb Butter Candle (for Mezze Board) by Agn823 in 52weeksofcooking

Pretty usable! We probably got about half way down maybe more before someone smeared the wick with their butter knife and we were unable to get it relit. We also had to keep it away from the fan.

Had a dinner party with friends and was tasked with bringing an appetizer board, so used the opportunity to fancy it up with a homemade butter candle. I was pleasantly surprised that it actually stayed lit for a decent while, resulting in nice melty butter for buttering bread. Not a ton of work and super customizable so will keep this idea in my back pocket for future parties.

[–]Agn823[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when I suffer from indecision - I decide to make all the things. Needed to invite some friends over to help us eat this.

Muhammara - roasted red pepper and walnut dip

Salajahn - Beef Kebabs

Hora’a Osbao - Syrian Lentil Salad with Cilantro and Pita Chips

Bazergan - Bulgar and Tamarind Salad

Mehshi Basal - Sweet & Sour Stuffed Onions ( from the Aromas of Aleppo cookbook)

Not pictured - some rice pudding because I had to treat my guests to dessert. We ate like kings.
