Cooking

Feb. 14: Cooked another version of Amatriciana for Valentine's Day. It was fine. Need to find some guanciale and good pecorino for next time.

March 24: Did corned beef and cabbage a week late. Sous vide is a good way to do corned beef, though I think the vegetables suffer a little from under-seasoning.

March 30: Turned the leftover corned beef into corned beef hash for the boys. Cooked it in the wok, which worked well, although my eggs weren't great.

April 24: Shake & Bake pork chops were pretty easy. Mayonnaise is a good binder.

May 23: Adapted the Woks of Life char siu as pulled pork. I think this might work better as a roast with smaller steaks. It's a little under-flavored as pulled pork, when all the sauce is on the outside.
