What's cookin'?

We tried our hand at Italian squid salad. It up here in Moorpark we have no squid at stores. Vons had these tiny ones in the freezer and it wasn’t so great

Idea is solid though. Hope the Amazon fresh soon to open carries squid

Sourdough experiments continue with this new cheapo waffle maker. My word these are so much nicer than pancake with squares. Light, fluffy, crispy

The pinto beans came from a friend who’s purging his place so he can move. Seems like they were stale as fuck. Cooked them for many hours and they were still chalky, so I put them in the food processor and pureed the fuck out of them. After another hour or two they were finally cooked. I can’t remember what else I put in there besides some homemade chili powder. Probably corn oil, onions, garlic, tomato, and canned mild green chiles.

Power was out and due to the storm the kitchen was dark, so I cooked lunch by candlelight.

Hiw many years since I last made grilled cheese? Maybe decades.
