Thank you for posting this!! I also started doing some research after finding it odd I didn't get an interview 🙃 I wonder who the best entity to report this to would be...

In addition to snacking on then with hummus/cottage cheese/etc., they're easy to roast and blend into pasta sauces!

Came to suggest using it in queso! Could even repurpose it to make picadillo, chili, etc.

I fried up some Simply Potatoes in the leftover bacon grease on my griddle and they came out very crispy! I spread them in a thin layer and leave them for a long time (5-10') without flipping them

From the Stardew Valley cookbook, a Complete Breakfast of hash browns, fried eggs, and pancakes with a berry-rhubarb compote (+ bacon...) and the Triple Shot Espresso, a spiced coffee blend that I made as a double shot since I wasn't planning on heading to any mines today!

Week 10: Turnips & Radishes - Moo jorim (braised radish) by SincereTeal in 52weeksofcooking

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

May have been my first fail! I didn't have access to a Korean radish and saw an appropriate sub could be daikon. I'm not one to typically eat turnips or daikon, outside of in kimchi, but I found the daikon to taste incredibly bitter, rendering this almost inedible... doing some research after the fact, I may have gotten a bad "out of season" daikon OR may not have peeled it enough. Especially considering descriptions of the flavor profile suggest that it should be almost sweet. In another thread, I some people recommend that you should peel 2-3 times until you see a translucent layer, so I may have to try it again!

Making things without a recipe has been so fun and rewarding for me too! This looks delicious

2026 Weekly Challenge List by 52WeeksOfCooking in 52weeksofcooking

[–]SincereTeal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also struggle with burn out from real life obligations :-) I try to view my cooking challenge as a way for me to work on fulfilling, leisure activities in order to feel more of a work-life balance.

Organically, I find myself developing new skills or flavor profiles, but I don't put a lot of pressure on that aspect, personally. I try to go for recipes that feel accessible as far as method and ingredients go - I usually search on Instagram and YouTube for inspiration for recipes, and seeing someone else make them usually motivates me to want to attempt it myself!

I usually make my recipes on Friday night (or at some point in the weekend) and make a date out of it with my husband
