Hey Veeky Forums. I am cooking for friends today and am going to chronicle my journey. I have around 5 hours until people arrive. In that time I have to do the following:
>make meatballs
>make tomato sauce
>bake sandwich rolls
>make french fries
>bake lemon sponge cake
>make lemon curd/baker's creme
>make lemoncello cocktails
I will be posting in this thread periodically with updates. I am starting with getting the yeast going.
nice, I'm monitoring this thread.
no one cares, gayrod
got get your daily cheeseburger intake faggot in order to let the adults cooking.
>meatballs and french fries
wew, that's some avant garde shit, m8
Hopefully my yeast is alive.
>didn't invite any of us
bit rude
Monitoring for great interest
You talk like a fag. No one cares.
>in order to let the adults cooking
Speak English.
I can speak 3 languages, how about you?
It's a cooking board you nigger and not a grammar board so go eat some mcchickens.
op is a fag
Letting it go now in the stand mixer, will check on it in 5 minutes.
Not sure how it's going.
why aren't you sure?
maybe learn another language and you'll figure it out
Ok the dough is in the oven to rise, now the tomato sauce.
I diced an onion, now the celery
cute
your dock looks like shit.
Dude are you actually me? Both in norcal, have super similar kitchens, have same digital scales, neither of us know how to cook...
and the celery
I gonna use this comeback, thanks
watching closely for your meatball recipe
No one is gonna end up coming
Got to sweat them now, they're going to sweat on low for the next 15 minutes.
forgot my picture.
Reposting, image was turned the first time.
And now the tomatos, gotta crush them with my hands.
At least my house mates will be there.
doing that after sauce prep is done.
I'm in the bay, but close!
>At least my house mates will be there.
>her six cats
These are the tomatoes I used. I bought whole peeled crushed them with my hands. My onions and celery still have to sweat so now I am making anchovies paste.
I have 7 actually
You don't speak 3 languages because your English sucks.
now the anchovies are garlic
The bay is norcal
Where are you fucker i'm coming to eat your food i'll walk over now
I added in sugar, salt, italian herbs, anchovy paste, red pepper flakes, and the garlic.
Damn I want to be one of your friends op
I checked on the dough while my stuff is cooking, the dough has risen!
it's cooking, taking a while
added in the tomato paste. Caramelized the bottom slightly, which was wrong, but hopefully it'll taste fine.
transferred it to a large pot and added in the crushed tomatoes
What are you listening to OP?
Shitty anime music.
I took the dough out of the oven and portioned it out, it should make 12 sandwich rolls.
dude cmon i'm in the middle of eastbay i can be over in like 10min cmon bruh feed me
overcooked
I don't know why some fucking homo has it out for you but i'm enjoying the thread
In for lemoncello
My dough balls are done now, letting them rest before shaping.
A little bit sadly, yeah.
Sorry friend.
:'(
we could have been best buds but you're afraid of an internet stranger
I shaped them into rolls after they had rested. It made 12 sandwich rolls.
I only have enough for the people I invited.
And now they're back in a slightly warmed oven to keep rising.
eh i almost def wouldn't have come anyway, i'm nursing a hangover and playing overwatch. enjoy your party user.
Now to start on the meatballs, moistening up some breadcrumbs.
Now to start on the meatballs, moistening up some breadcrumbs. Forgot the picture last post.
cuteeeeeeeeee
Did I forget the image twice?
And another diced onion.
I love a good fries and meatballs
here is the onion sautéing
I chose half bison and half pork for my meatballs. I chose bison instead of beef because bison was on sale for some reason.
The bread crumbs have soaked up the milk and are kind of a paste now.
the onions are sauted again. I overcooked them a little again.
And the mixed meats.
>bread crumbs have soaked up the milk
My meatballs improved dramatically in terms of a tender texture when I started soaking my bread in milk. Nice touch.
that's ok, i like onions a bit dark like that
Good thread OP
The meatball mixture is done. Now it needs to firm up in the freezer for half an hour. In the mean time I'm gonna clean up a bit.
it has the following in it:
>garlic
>italian herb mix
>salt
>pepper
>cayenne
>italian parsley
>eggs
>parmesan cheese
U had me until u opened those cento tomatoes,WTF??? Shit tier stuff. Dont the sell progresso kitchen ready where u live? Also here is a tip for u sweet cheeks grind up some pepperoni and add to mb mix also if u have some pesto add it 1 or 2 tbs. Dont forget the cheese and FRESH parsley. Xitalian deli owner
Dont skimp on cheese add half cup for every lb of meat. U frying before adding to sauce??
Yeah that's the plan.
The bread rolls are out and ready to go in the oven. Hopefully they turn out ok.
When rolls r half done u can brush tiny bit of oil on then and sprinkle some granulated garlic or herb mix on them
Looking good so far.
The first batch is done baking
Meatballs formed
They look like total cunts.
Yeah they are.
Your address is in that pic user.
Thanks friend.
fucking kek
San Marzano. Nice. That's why he's coming over.
>thinks that people who are actively scanning pics for personal info are your "friend"
i don't even
I can everyone friend.
I'm slightly offended you're using gloves, but since you're doing all of this in about 5 hours. It's chill.
Did your third cat fall in the meatball mix?
frying meatballs
good thread user, are you going to have enough time to bake the cake if they are arriving in 30 minutes?
Meatballs in the sauce now.
I forgot to add the picture.
I'm pivoting hard to spaghetti and meatballs and making the rolls into garlic bread, and no the cake is going to be made while people are here and I'm half cooking half entertaining.
I forgot to add the pic again.
>I'm pivoting hard to spaghetti and meatballs and making the rolls into garlic bread
I assumed you were making meatball subs w/ french fries at the start.
I would definitely go with pasta over sandwiches, and skip the fries. Meatball subs are too messy for party food, and everyone loves garlic bread. Plus, fuck home made fries.
garlic bread with cheese
...
Should have turned them.
forgot picture
any updates?
atta girl!
>girl
Well, a lot of stuff has happened but I have plated up dinner at least. I need to make the cake after we're done eating.
