I switched my drip coffee machine from a flat bottom basket to a conical basket. I can taste a world of difference. Kind of bizarre how different they are.

Sourdough adventures continue... English muffins this time:
Also have a little fermentation station going on my kitchen counter. Currently have sauerkraut, tepache (mexican fermented pineapple drink), and a ginger bug going to make ginger beer and/or fruit beers/sodas. Here's my kraut and tepache sitting on the counter:
I bought the Noma Guide to Fermentation and read through the intro over the weekend. Really excited to try some of their ferments. I'll have to buy some koji mold here soon to do some fun stuff.

You read my mind. I intend to make some English muffins this weekend. Have never attempted them before.
This past weekend, I made hamburger buns, chili in the InstantPot, and key lime pie bars. All of which got rave reviews.
I really enjoy Joshua Weissman's videos, as they are both easy to follow and entertaining. I didn't care for his hamburger bun recipe though. They turned out okay - but the one I used this past weekend got better results.

Very nice c2i.
On an English muffin note, a couple weeks ago I discovered Bay's English Muffins. They are kept in the fridge section at your local grocer, and you store them in the same at home. Way, way better than the crappy Thomas muffins. Highly recommend.

Too hot to cook outside on the grill. Cooking inside with the oven heats the house up too much.

We've hit the part of summer where 100° days will outnumber 80° days from now until October. I love it, because my life is basically changing out of wet boardshorts into dry boardshorts; I'm okay standing in front of a 700° fire to cook up some carne asada. Is good.

Also, mac, are you in the Cook With Joule FB group? If you are, you don't need to tell me your name or anything. It's just a good resource, and I think you should check it out.

So on a camping trip last weekend, i was cooking bacon on the cast iron and started a grease fire. the end result is that parts of the cast iron are now silver. does this mean i ruined the cast iron or just mean that i have extra work on re seasoning it.
Cooking and Dining
The latter.
You don't ruin cast iron unless you are mount saint Helen's.

Challenge accepted. I mean it was a lot of grease, probably an inch or so in the pan. Not a gr8 move on my part. Even though its a cheap run of the mill lodge cast iron, i always had it in my mind that i would be using the same one until i was an old fart who couldn’t be trusted with an open flame. So I’m going to do my best to reseason itThe latter.

Silver or grey? Grey is just the seasoning being burnt off. Silver is damn impressive and unlikely.

In case yinz are about to be like me and be overrun with zucchini, here is a recipe that my mom made today. It was delicious. It is from her family's church cookbook, and was submitted by my Aunt.

BTW, I cut mine into squares and dipped in marinara.

My wife made lasagna with zucchini in place of noodles. I was skeptical at first, but it was really good.
The zucchini introduced a lot of extra moisture, though, so I would drain any tomatoes or other liquids before baking.

I would describe it as the color of an old quarter. not like 1956 old quarter, but more gray than silverSilver or grey? Grey is just the seasoning being burnt off. Silver is damn impressive and unlikely.
anyways, I gave it a good scrub to get the charred stuff off and gave it a new coat of oil. also cooked bacon on it again last night in an effort to get a good greasy food to start the process all over again.

What are yalls air fryer recommendations?
My mom has a ninja and it does pretty good. Is that the gold standard or is there a more cost effective one?

Haha, there's a commercial on Tastemade for a cast iron company called Smithey. I looked into buying one of their pans, because I like to support US-made stuff when I can, but recoiled when I saw the cost of their 12" fryer was $200.

There's a Lodge cast iron outlet down in PIgeon Forge/Gatlinburg TN that I spent waaay too much money in a few years ago.
