Trying to convince the Snook that he should make us a timpano for Christmas dinner, using Stanley Tucci’s recipe from his book Taste.

Dessert
My pumpkin pie ice cream turned out really well! Much more suitable on a hot day than trying to bake.

Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s way too hot to cook a traditional Thanksgiving dinner in Sydney this week, so I decided to spin it into a classic American picnic: chicken salad rolls and potato salad. Yum. 🦃

Thanksgiving
It’s 35C/95F out; all of Sydney is under extreme heat warning; and all I want is a goddamn can of pumpkin so I can make pumpkin pie ice cream. But alas, none to be found, not even for ready money. I will be roasting butternut this evening once the sun goes down…
Oh, and I asked the butcher how much it would be for a turkey breast to sous vide, and he told me $97 AUD (that’s $62 USD), and I laughed in his face and then bought a couple chicken breasts instead. I think it was actually a turkey crown roast, but whatever. Chicken it is.
EDITED – ONE HOUR LATER:
Me: So we’re going to be roasting pumpkin tonight so I can get puree, because I couldn’t find any canned. 😒
Rodd: You know, we already have some frozen puree from the last time you did that?!
Whaaaaaaat. THANKS, PAST KRIS!

Dinner
Korean Chili-Braised Brisket with Kimchi Coleslaw! I accidentally bought an extra tub of gochujang so this was a great way of using it up. 😍
The recipe is here. It’s technically for an Instant Pot, but I did it in a traditional pressure cooker and therefore reduced the time a bit. (I think the traditional one gets a bit higher pressure.) You can also use a slow cooker, but that would have required starting the day before to get everything properly marinated.

Dinner
My turn to cook! Fusilli with sausage, kale, and tomato. The recipe used to be on Serious Eats, but looks like they’ve taken it down. 😒

Greek-inspired dinner
Lamb meatballs with feta and lemon (from Smitten Kitchen) and orzo salad (from Recipe Tin Eats), all cooked by the Snook. Very tasty!

Mr. Snook recently revived his sourdough starter, so this morning we had homemade sourdough crumpets for breakfast. 😍

“Huevos al vapor” – I made @kenjilopezalt’s “steam eggs” using the Snook’s espresso machine steam wand. Yes, I managed to gunk up up the wand and I’ll have to figure out how to de-egg it. But wow, texture on these is *lovely*, and it took less than 1 minute. 😍🥚
