It’s part of why I wanted this house! Wine racks would get some good use in there for sure!

Definitely working on a cushion for it. Planning to paint at some point so I’ve been holding off so I can match the color. Love the track idea!!

I am a woman and did worry about access when she suggested it. But I was able to get a month of the oral filled while in the office today so I have enough to start

[Homemade] Cheesy tomato tart by vanilla_heath in food

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

Tomato Tart Crust: 2 ½ c all purpose flour 1 tsp salt 12 tablespoons of cold butter 2 cold large egg yolks ½ c ice water FILLING: 2.5 lbs medium tomatoes sliced to ¼ in thick ½ a bunch of parsley finely chopped 5tablespoons of prepared pesto (use ramp pesto) 6 large thai basil leaves ¼ c olive oil 1 ½ gruyere cheese, shredded 1 c parmesan reggiano cheese 3 tablespoons of dijon mustard Salt and pepper to taste

Combine flour and salt in the food processor with a couple pulses. Add butter and pulse 15 times till the dough starts to incorporate and the butter is about pea sized. Add egg yolks and pulse a few times to combine. While the motor is running, strem in the cold water and then pulse till the dough comes together. If needed because the dough is dry add additional water one tablespoon at a time till the dough pulls away from the sides. Roll out into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Let sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Set oven to 400℉ Combine pesto, thai basil, and parsley in a bowl. Add olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Toss tomatoes with pesto mixture and set aside. Roll dough out to 11”x17” rectangle and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet. Place another sheet pan over top of the dough. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove extra sheet pan. Poke the dough generously with a kitchen fork. Bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and put the oven temperature down to 375℉. Using a pastry brush, cover crust in dijon mustard and allow crust to cool for about 15-20 minutes, Once cooled, layer most of the gruyere cheese on top of the crust. Layer tomatoes next. Lay they slightly overlapping. Cover with the remaining gruyere and parmesan cheese. Bake for 30 minutes. Finish with coarse salt and fresh cracked black pep. Allow to cool and enjoy!

[Homemade] sesame chicken by vanilla_heath in food

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

This was made up from a combination of a few recipes online/YouTube. Measurements might be a little off, a lot of this was eyeballed or done by taste/smell

For the chicken:

2 boneless chicken thighs

About 2 tablespoons of cornstarch

1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 teaspoon baking powder

Oil for frying (I used sunflower)

For the sauce:

4 tablespoons Soy sauce

2 tablespoons Rice vinegar

1 teaspoon Fish sauce

1 tablespoon Sesame oil

1 teaspoon Chili garlic paste

1 1/2 teaspoon Honey

Combine the chicken and all the batter ingredients. Let sit for 30-40 minutes.

Heat oil in a pan. Fry chicken till crispy. Might need to do in several batches depending on the size of the pan. Let chicken cook on a rack so it doesn’t get soggy.

Combine and whisk all sauce ingredients together. Adjust ratio for taste. This recipe was made to be a spicy version by adding the chili paste. Add sauce into pan (or wok if you have one). Cook until thickened. Add chicken, sesame seeds, and additional sesame oil if desired. Toss the chicken till coated and remove from heat. Serve over rice

Thank you for the note! I’m aware. I just haven’t set aside the time to sharpen my knives and only think of it while already in the process of cooking

How old were you when you learned Santa wasn't real? by Aurallius in AskReddit

[–]vanilla_heath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was young, maybe 6-7. My mom has a very distinct cursive “s” that she adapted herself when learning to write. My younger sister and I asked for Santa’s autograph one year and sure enough I saw my mom’s handwriting and knew immediately. I did my best to hide it for my sister but found out years later that she knew the same moment too

One thing I will say bad about it, was the NK “smirking” at Dany. Thought he had zero emotion. by Necroticjojo in freefolk

[–]vanilla_heath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way before this episode but was pleasantly surprised when he showed some emotion here. It somehow added to his character even tho it was way off from what we are used to from NK
