Prepping my dough for my Detroit style pizza tomorrow.
Iām never going to do that! prawn crackers for me are like crisps, eaten separately. I just love the way they crackle and pop on my tongue. That is just a waste of a cracker, lol.
I dip them in my Crab and Sweetcorn Soup even though it ends up like eating a piece of wet newspaper the way they disintegrate :0)
We normally post nice things we eat in here. So let me buck the trend. Long day at work. Board meeting afterward. No time for anything. Got home late. Starving.
I made scrambled eggs. Just took a couple of minutes. I made sure to add a knob of proper butter to the pan. Weāre not cave men are we?

In terms of quick and easy meals, eggs, butter and a pan are all you need. Iām an omelette man myself, but your scrambled eggs are also a good choice.
If you have more items in the fridge, you can pimp your scrambled eggs/omelette to your taste (I like grated cheese, torn ham and Italian herbs in my omelette) but the basic dish literally takes two minutes to cook from scratch.

I always have a bag of Costco bacon crumbles in my fridge. In 5min I can have two fried eggs on a slice of toast with bacon. 2-3 days a week I skip a meal and just eat that with some tomatoes and supper

I always add water instead of milk to the beaten eggs before the mix goes into the panā¦
I do scrambled eggs a bit differently at times.
Saute Onions , add some chopped green chilly , saute some moreā¦ add the beaten eggs - cook for some time , add a bit of milk and reduce down. Adjust for salt.

Came home early this afternoon. Wife and daughter had already left for their Taylor Swift concert. Itās just me and the lad. We got beef short ribs and smoked them on the smoker. I got a Pit Boss grill/smoker for Fatherās Day. Yay!
Anyway, they were so delicious, tender, and juicy. I put a South Carolina bbq dry rub on them and we smoked them low and slow, although it didnāt take too long. I donāt fully know what Iām doing but I bought a competition blend of wood pellets to go in the hopper, and then thereās a lever to adjust the quantity of smoke you want the food to have.
Iām going to have fun learning to smoke all sorts of food in this thing.

I highly recommend this recipe book for a range of smoking techniques and recipes - I particularly like the salmon recipes.

Also, smoked chicken. This recipe (Michael Symon, Playing with Fire) is phenomenal, the only real complexity is the overnight brine.

Kosher salt ? Is that even a thing, I really didnāt know that salt, of all peculiar things, had to be treated in a particularly religious way, for Jews to use it. Never heard of that before and I doubt most Jews outside Israel follows that. Because I am fairly sure I would have heard about it if it was an āissueā.
Extremely peculiar.
I think the degree to which it is required for religious reasons can be judged by the fact it goes into a pork rub. It is just the most common name in North America for non-iodized sea salt with a larger flake than conventional table salt.
In Norway, you would likely use something like Maldon Sea Salt Flakes
