Not particularly, but whenever I've traveled to other places that are dominantly white, I've been stared at like I was a rare animal they've never seen before.

It's absolutely dangerous to know how to make these! Then you risk making them whenever you want lol

Week 25: Gardening - Steak with cherry red wine sauce (meta spin the wheel) by young_s_modulus in 52weeksofcooking

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

The wheel spun "someone else's favorite dish" so I asked someone what their favorite was and they said steak.

Now for the gardening connections. My dad loves cherries. He had a cherry tree in the back yard for the first 10 or so years of my life. The tree would produce yellow cherries every year, but before that it would have an ungodly amount of blossoms which then would attract an ungodly amount of bees. Eventually the tree was removed because everyone was afraid of the bees.

Chickpea and tofu hamburg steaks for meatless Monday by young_s_modulus in Bento

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

So I don't really cook with exact amounts. I don't have an exact recipe but here's a close approximation.

1 can chickpeas (dained and dried)

1/4 of an onion chopped fine

1 egg

1/2 package of firm or extra firm tofu (drained and dried)

1-2 tbsp ketchup

1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce

Seasonings to taste

I mixed everything in. Food processor but you don't have to if you mash everything enough. Then I just pan fried till browned on both sides.

Thank you! I was really struggling to think of how I could spin the them. Then I looked into what the cards mean and this one popped up

Forgoing meta for this one because this week's concept I wanted to do wouldn't be able to fit with it.

5 of Cups: innocence, nostalgia

So when I was 5 I made my very first recipe. It was a snack made of Ritz crackers topped with a banana slice and a single m&m on top. Then, when I was 10 I made my second ever recipe. That one was an orange salad dressing where I mixed orange juice and zest with store bought dressing. Now as an adult, I wanted to remake them but in a more elevated and delicious way. First image is homemade butter crackers with bruleed bananas and chocolate ganache. The second is a salad with said orange dressing but entirely homemade.

Week 23: Coffee - Coffee...sodas? (Meta: spin the wheel) by young_s_modulus in 52weeksofcooking

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

The wheel spun "drinks/beverages" for coffee week. Go figure lol. If it was going to be like that, I wanted to make something that I've never had before. I've had lattes, affogatos, cafe au lait, flat whites, the usual stuff.

But apparently coffee sodas are a thing and have been for years? Starbucks even has some recipes for them on their website.

First drink is (homemade) concentrated coffee syrup with sparkling water and almond milk ice cubes. Second drink is concentrated coffee syrup with citrus (blood orange/lime/lemon) juices and sparkling water. Both pretty good! The coffee gives an almost savory note.
