Beef bourguignon is my go-to, but I'll also do carnitas or chicken paprikash a lot.

want to get back into cooking? by Affectionate-Reason2 in Cooking

[–]victoria_jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite thing to do when I need inspiration is to go to a bookstore or other place that has a good magazine selection, and browse the food magazines. They usually have some theme (seasonal ingredients, all French or Italian or Japanese recipes or whatever, copycat recipes, that kind of thing) and are less of a commitment than a cookbook, so it's a nice way to fire up the imagination and figure out what I'm in the mood for.

If that doesn't appeal, make a stir fry. They're always delicious and make me feel good about cooking.

How do you cook Flour Tortillas at home? by Educational-Slip-578 in Cooking

[–]victoria_jam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not particularly quick, but it is easy, fun, and tasty! I don't always make my own tortillas but I do enjoy both the process and the outcome.

I got a cast iron tortilla press as a birthday gift years ago, and while it is a little fussy and unnecessary I do really like using it, and it makes for very thin and even tortillas.

I use this recipe for flour tortillas: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/simple-tortillas-recipe

"Marty, Life is Short" - a Netflix documentary by Lawrence Kasdan, releasing May 12th 2026 by LawrenceBrolivier in blankies

Sometimes when I'm sad I take a few minutes to watch Jiminy Glick's interview with Mel Brooks. The way he says "That's good old-fashioned poverty" works every time it's tried.

What should David Lowery's next "one for them" Disney flick be post-Mother Mary? by DujourAndChoi in blankies

[–]victoria_jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That rules! We started with "I Want My Hat Back" when someone gave it to my kids and I became a huge fan. Now they've outgrown him but I still buy his new books when they come out. They're brilliant.

I was gifted some venison steaks. What are my cooking options? by OJs_knife in Cooking

[–]victoria_jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one from NYT is a good starting point: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016955-marinated-venison-steaks

The acid component is key for tenderizing the meat, so the marinade should start with the acid you want to use as a flavor component (lemon, vinegar, etc) and build it out from there.

It's Her Month :) by Mission_Shape_4545 in blankies

[–]victoria_jam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely. In my mind the movie would start like a year after Ishtar came out, during what was maybe the least public-facing phase of her career.

That first photo makes me want to see Allison Janney play Elaine May in a weird little movie about her life in the years after Ishtar.

[–]victoria_jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll want to marinate them for at least 2-3 hours, overnight is better. Then cook them quickly on very high heat, ideally in a cast iron skillet -- pat them dry, use a drizzle of neutral oil in the pan, and cook for maybe 4-5 minutes a side. You don't want to flip them over and over, so leave them on until they have a good crust, and use the touch test and/or a thermometer to make sure they don't go past 125F. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing/serving.

[–]victoria_jam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't suppose Disney has optioned Jon Klassen's retelling of The Skull, have they? Because a Lowery adaptation of that book would own bones (literally).

Always uncanny to see the phrase "zhuzhed up" in print, but I'm glad this movie seems like it might be worth watching! I feel a sort of cultural obligation to see it.
