  • The exposure is a bit meh but it tasted really good

    I suppose, but the combo of ingredients popped for the camera, and that’s the main thing, innit?

    Every few days I make something that turns out rather well, and I think ‘I should really share this on the FV,’ and then I realise that looks-wise, it’s absolutely nothing special. Problem is, I tend to mix everything together in to soups, stews, scrambled egg dishes and so forth, and it becomes really hard to tell one thing from another in my scratch dishes.

    So typically, you can’t see from my photos that certain spices or low-key ingredients really made the dish pop, like adding in a stick of cinnamon, a couple teaspoons of liquid smoke, chopped cilantro and/or fennel seeds just before finishing, some potato flour to thicken things up and make the dish more creamy, some TruLime powder to up the sharpness / acidity, some dried mushrooms to kick up the savory / umame, etc, etc.

    Back in the day, some post-college buddies who lived in a group house would rotate cooking duties, constantly experimenting with ingredients and spices in their stews and casseroles, which would invariably look all too samey in the end. Delicious as the dishes might be, they had a common name for them-- “splooge.” So that’s what I am, basically. A splooge-cook. A cooker of splooge.

  • Somewhat like scalloped, perhaps, but probably more ‘focused,’ if that’s the word.

    Peru is on our bucket list

    It can be a mixed bag, depending. Me, I’d say a combination of touristy-type issues, as well Peruvians not necessarily paying much attention to maintaining the cleanliness and beauty of various areas. Now one place I’ve never gone is in to the Amazon, which sounds like it could be truly fascinating. All that to say-- hopefully, y’all do your research ahead of time.
