Week Notes No. 46: Appetites

By Justin G. on 25MAR13THU

Random food notes from the week.

1. Cooked
   • Kimchi tuna salad. Avocado from a neighbors tree. Yum. That was good.
   • Pizza night! But, disaster struck. Not really. My pizza’s front edge caught on the peel. It’s been ages since that’s happened. Luckily A’s didn’t suffer that same fate. And mine only resulted in the loss of a single pepperono (see ingredients, below), which I retrieved before it burned to a crisp. Tasted like bacon because the fat had rendered. Delicious. The rest of the pizzas were amazing too, some of the best I’ve ever made. I might be known to say that every time.
2. Recipes
   • I can’t decide if cinnamon roll focaccia is good or not.
   • It’s the simplest things, like rice with chicken, that always look so tastily delicious to me.
   • Several potato recipes look so appetizing: potato, onion, rosemary pizza, lemony greek potatoes, crispy smashed potatoes, pommes aligot, aloo tikki, gamja bokkeum.
   • This (slyt) Brown Recipe video was way more dramatic than I was expecting. Also, can I get a list of those cookbooks?? I might just do it myself.
   • Townsends’ “French” Bread recipe (slyt) looks quite good too.
3. Ordering in
   • Castillo’s Tacos: it’s a meh for me.
4. Premade things
   • The Trader Joe’s pretzel things covered in some candy crème vaguely tasting of Oreos–they’re fine, I guess. I could eat ten without even noticing. And that’s kind of the problem. I wouldn’t really remember or remark on the experience either. Does that even count as food? I’m developing more and more of an “allergic reaction” to that kind of thing. In the bin they go.
5. Ingredients
   • The Trader Joe’s Uncured Pepperoni is excellent.
