I'm pretty sure that most of the apples currently being sold at any Trader Joe's were harvested last fall. Certainly, their peak texture and flavor has passed. And I would venture a guess that the same has happened to the apples being sold at Monterey Market...and most anywhere else.
They were so firm they bruised my gums trying to bite into them. It could be early season, but i have not had that issue with Pink Lady, or Honey Crisp during the same season. I am not sure how you can explain that.

Probably gonna use Meathead’s recipe in his book. But I was thinking of a good seasoning or rub. What would be good in you guys eyes?
Also is there a particularly good sauce to try with this?
If you can find it, Oakridge Carne Crosta. Last time i checked it was $100/lb on ebay. I still have a stock pile i vacuum packed and froze when it was $30/lb.
That said, Plowboys Bovine Bold would be my second choice.
-
Ive had them, they were too firm and lacked the tartness of pink lady and honey crisp.

Sounds delicious. How do I make the mango habanero sauce?
I buy it. My favorite was Tropical Pepper Company Mango coconut pepper sauce, but i have not been able to find since covid, but my local Weis grocery sells a very similar ( bit spicier ) brand called Jamaican choice mango coconut sauce.

Breaded shrimp ( popcorn ) lettuce,tomato,cheese, garlic aoli, and habanero mango dipping sauce is my favorite filling.

I have been making PB&J sandwiches with it for years, i actually like them better then using regular PB. And its a LOT healthier.

Tuesday nights spaghetti carbonara.
Damn you. I love this dish. My wife doesn't like this dish. She hates when i make it. But she will drown regular tomato based spaghetti with buttermilk ranch dressing. SMH.

Great to know. I got the inspiration to use corn stock from Jason Farmer who used the Instant Pot.
He comes off as a dweeb, but his Mongolian beef recipe is on point.
-
I have heard of it, I don't like corn in my chili or soups, but i think corn stock would be a good additive.

Not bad for $1.77/lb on sale. Stay away @rotuts you dont want this, it has papain in it.
Btw, Instant Pot, 70 minutes, came out im told "Perfect".

Some people can't stand cilantro, i love cilantro. For me its oregano. I can tolerate mexican oregano for some reason, i prefer to not use it in dishes that call for it.

I appreciate the info. I don't buy perishables online.
You don't have a Restaurant Depot near you? They will give you a day pass if you go to the counter and ask. But that said, boneless short ribs should be easy to find at your local grocery store.
-
Restaurant Depot Sells Beef cheeks. But i would suggest you use boneless short ribs for this dish.
-
For someone that doesn't eat a lot of beef, cheeks might be too rich and gelatinous.
Maybe short ribs might be "middle ground" they are rich in beefy flavor but not as gelatinous as cheeks.

Crock Pot 2 hours on high, 4 hours on low. Probing 165, will pull soon. I had this Crock pot for 25+ years. They dont make them like this anymore. I lost the knob, but it works just as good as the day i bought it 25+ years ago. I still have the lid, just removed it for pics. Its to the left. Its a clear lid.
Delicious.

Here is the pointy (“conehead”) cabbage we get locally. Tasty stuff! I like that it’s a smaller sized cabbage (I love cabbage and all vegetables, but the other members of my household aren’t especially fond of it).
I can't find that cabbage anywhere. Seems its common in the UK, and Europe. Not so much in Northeast PA.

I like to doctor up Yakisoba Spicy chicken. $1.19 . Add a fried egg. Some frozen extra small shrimp. A green onion/scallion. I even add a tsp of cayenne powder. And when im feeling frisky, a tsp of Buldak 2x sauce. Can't beat less then $3 total ingredient cost.

Sandwich...

Had to revist this thread. I finally found the sweet spot for thin sliced chuck roast sandwiches. Trick is to seperate the muscles and remove the fat and sinew before cooking. 149F for 24 hours is the sweet spot, But the most important part is slicing against the grain. Seperating the muscles makes this a lot easier.

S&S $ 1.49 /lb CB has papain.
I passed . non-papain , $ 7.49 more.
passed on that too
WHPS has 6 points
this Rx :
Ill suggest taking one off @ 140 F in eternal , and see if its tender.
Why not just flush it for a few hours before cooking. If memory serves, Papain is only active at temps above 120F. I wouldnt pass up $1.49/lb at least nowadays.

Char Siu is subjective to region. Here in the east coast we like a more savory Char Siu. I like to cook in the Instant Pot for 15 minutes with a 10 min natural release. Then finish in my deep fryer to crisp up.
My recipe is crazy simple. But crazy tasty.
It requires a 24 hour brine.
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup Hoisin sauce
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tsp baking soda
1 TBSP minced garlic
1 TBSP minced ginger
2 TBSP light brown sugar
1 tsp 5 spice ( optional ) Im not a fan
1/2 tsp red food coloring powder
1/4 tsp orange food coloring powder
And yes, i made the egg rolls and bbq beef sticks from scratch.

Isn't air frying just convection cooking
Pretty much this. I have a Range oven with an air fryer mode and convection and there is very little difference between both modes.

Apple Cultivars, New And Old
in Kitchen Consumer
Posted
They were on sale for $1:69/lb where the Pink Lady was $1.99/lb and Honey Crisp was $2.49/lb. Those WildTwist were not worth the $1.69/lb worst apples ive had in a while.
