I haven’t cooked this week.

I haven’t cooked this week. The cold has stopped me in my tracks and made me so sleepy that I can barely get out of bed, let alone stand in front of a stove for more than a few minutes. I’ve found that since fracturing my pelvis in my 20’s and being denied physical therapy for it, I have become a lizard. The second it gets cold, I go into slow motion. I signed up for a HotWorx membership a few months ago for this reason. Now would probably be a good time to start using it. Hopefully no one else in town gets the same idea so I can keep getting solo sauna time.

I have, however, begun implementing the ramen hacks that I’ve been craving all summer but had no desire to make when its over 100. My most recent fixation has been mixing an egg yolk, green onion, minced garlic, and kewpie with the shin flavor packets before pouring the noodle water over it then adding a jammy, soft-boiled egg and some chili oil on top. It is by far the best instant ramen I’ve tasted.

On the note of the pre seasoned/marinated chicken thighs from my last post. I will not be making those again… The cut was terrible, it seems like it had sat way too long, and the marinade ratios weren’t great. Here’s an ASMR clip of the frying process on the Blackstone though.

Tonight, assuming I’m not overtired, is going to be breakfast for dinner. Bacon, eggs, buttermilk pancakes, and buttermilk cast iron biscuits. Recipes to come.

What are you making this weekend?
