I just put some chocolate chip banana bread with streusel topping into the oven. As long as I don't fuck it up too badly, I'll have some pictures of that to share later on. Actually... scratch that. Even if it's a glorious disaster, I'll share pics.

Today I shall be making a samosa pot pie with a homemade crust. I've never made a crust before and I don't know what a samosa pot pie is so I'm sure this will go splendidly.

It looks ok, but I'm not happy with the results. I think the oven was too hot. But I have more bananas and chocolate chips, so I'm going to try again. Probably tomorrow though. And I'll cook it at 325 instead of 350.

Are you practicing for the day you are attacked with a case of bananas?

I'm gonna grill some ribs today.

It looks the bottom took on too much heat. Maybe raising it a rack might help.

Still looks tasty though.

This is from the solidarity banana batch that I purchased. So... Yes!

That might help. But even the sides were overdone. No doubt, the dish I cooked it in was a complicating factor, but I couldn't find my loaf pan and I wasn't feeling patient. I'll raise the rack and drop the temp.

It does taste good, except for the heel.

It looks like it might need more than a temperature change.

Try grilling some bananas. They might grill. Pineapple does.

I think regular bananas would turn to mush, especially since they are frozen already.

I tried to make plantains like I've had at Cuban restaurants (not on the grill) and I can't get them to turn out right. I wonder if I got the wrong kind of plantains.

Okay. So I have a lot to work on with my crust making technique. Still it came out pretty good. It's like a meat pie with curry.

Flour, shortening, salt. Mix. Refrigerate. Flatten.

I think its the flattening I didn't get quite right. Gave up on the rolling pin and cutting board and just mashed it with my hands on the table.

You need a little water and baking powder in your crust.

I usually don't use baking powder for a pie crust, since the butter/shortening does a good job making flakey layers. But water is a must.

Banana bread v2 is much better. The pic sucks, but it's all I got.




I'm trying my hand at a buttermilk bread recipe now. Found my loaf pans, which is super helpful.

Does it have nuts in it? I'm not allergic but I don't like nuts.

Ooh. That looks very pretty. Fluffy, but maybe that's a trick of the lighting.

Also, banana bread needs nuts, IMO.

I threw together a salad for dinner. I was part way through eating it when I thought I should take a picture and post so boydster knows I'm not lying about the stuff I make.

Cold smoked salmon, Romaine lettuce, avocado, cilantro, cucumber, tomato with avocado oil, squeezed lemon juice, salt & pepper for dressing. (I preferred spinach but didn't have any. Would have also loved to throw in alfalfa and/or bean sprouts but didn't have)

It doesn't really have a flavor. I like it better than olive oil because olive oil gets a flavor I don't like if you don't use it in time. Avocado oil also has a higher smoke point.

Can you make olive oil last longer if you keep it in the fridge?

Probably. I prefer to use oil at room temperature tho. For me avocado oil is the best. It's also healthy like olive oil.

I did that once and it coagulated. There were little balls like tapioca at the bottom.
