"Albino Jaws Burrito"
February 2, 2011
This is just a normal burrito. It was kind of a toss-up as to what I wanted to make, so it ws almost a ghost, but then I thought it kind of looked like the poster for Jaws.
Mom saw a ghost.

Pareidolia Project Day 35
"Taking a Dip"Ingredients:
French dip sandwich
Au jus
Macaroni salad
There are three secrets to a perfect French dip. First, have bread with a hard outer crust and a good sandwich shape. I use baguette because it's really cheap and perfect for this job.
Second, have a good cut of meat. I had a roast from the previous night that was served just above "alive" in terms of how well done it was. Slice that shit THIN. Like, paper thin if you can. Shave it.
Third, au jus. I use a mix (cheap, easy) and throw my extremely thin shaved beef in the pan. Then I add some onions, mushrooms and rosemary. Let the beef sit in there long enough to make it hot, and then pour some au jus through a strainer into a mug/cup/whatever.
You can also add corn starch and flour to au jus mix and make it into a fast ad-hoc gravy. Way easier than fucking around with a hot broiler pan and a whisk. Just boil water, add mix, adjust to consistency, the end. A sauce will make or break a dish very easily.

"Goat's Head Macaroni Salad"January 28, 2011
Ingredients:
Grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and onion
Macaroni salad
This was initially supposed to be the head of a giraffe, which was requested by a friend's daughter. I normally don't do requests, but I didn't have the heart to say no. Additionally, I was disappointed in the outcome. It might have been a giraffe, but it was also a goat.

Pareidolia Project Day 28, Part III
The bottom one was mine. I really miss tits.
Ingredients:
Tempura fried bananas
Chocolate ice cream
Whip cream
Chocolate shell
Maraschino cherries
Sprinkles
If I have to tell you how to make any part of this besides the fried bananas, you need more help cooking than I can possibly provide.
The bananas are battered with a mix of flour and cornstarch (about equal parts) and Sprite. Add cinnamon and sugar for seasoning and deep-fry until about a minute after they begin floating.
