Part of me almost says you ought to make carnitas out of them. Cube it up, add your citrus, cinnamon, allspice, garlic, Bay leaf, oregano, cummin, chili powder, etc.

Braise it for a bit, and then toss into a ripping hot cast iron skillet to Brown, or maybe an air fryer. Only problem is it might end up being real stringy and I'm not typically good with that type of text her if things like beef gets cooked too long, or pulled pork gets too stringy.

The muscle fibers make it look like beef flank steak, so I wonder if you could also just marinate it in something good and toss it on the grill, cooked to medium we'll, and then then slice against the grain. Hit it with a Jacquard, and maybe throw some Asian pear or pineapple juice in the marinade with bunch of soy sauce and what have you.

Other option is if you could try to butterfly them out just a bit, they would probably work as a porchetta. I mean that because all of the muscle fibers are running long ways and you're going to slice your porketta perpendicular so you get these really nice slices that you would with a rouladen if you were using beef flank steak for that. Fresh herbs, toasted and ground fennel seeds, garlic, salt and pepper, lemon zest and a bit of olive oil. Better butchers twine when you get a roll it back, and that would probably work pretty well. You can always Bart it with a little bit of bacon if you wanted to, or take a little bit of Italian sausage uncased and stuff it in the middle and roll around that.

I don't know but I think you got a lot of options. Whatever you end up doing just let us know how it turns out. I'll have to see if I can find some, because it's not something I've ever used, and it would be fun to try to make something good out of it.

Lanx Lanx you should get one of these. For some reason it showed up on my Amazon deal and I figured it's a goofy enough gadget you might be interested. Also look at the crazy picture that's photoshopped of a bunch of retards having Christmas dinner with their electric griddle.

I think it's honestly one of the goofiest or most screwed up items cooking wise I've seen on there.

I mean I wasn't expecting you to buy it I just thought it was pretty hilarious specifically because of that goofy picture. Like I said it's probably the weirdest item and advertisement I've seen for any of the cooking stuff on Amazon. I got no doubt though that there's a lot of other gems floating around.

I don't know why you think it's weird to have raw steak, sausage, veggies, and eggs sitting on the griddle that is clearly not turned on while opening gifts on Christmas morning. Obviously it's making these people deliriously happy so maybe you should try it. Ever think about that?

Haha, the Photoshop Christmas dinner really just cracked me up. I'm trying to figure out what the actual joint of meat is behind the photoshopped cooking device. I don't know if it's supposed to be a leg of lamb or something, but it's just hilarious.

Well, my therapy homework this week was to make some bread, so I can work on trying new things without hating myself when I can’t do them perfectly the first try. Grabbed the Julia Child basic bitch white sandwich bread recipe to try. Bread happened, I guess. I think it turned out alright, though I realize now I only have one loaf pan. Slapped some apple butter on a couple slices for a snack after.

You should try one of those sour dough loaves you do in a Dutch oven next. My sister makes them pretty often, and they're always tasty.

Love making bread. But hate loving to eat it too. I like the more crusty old school bread.

Cant make the shit in the summer though. There is no way im heating up an oven to 500F when its like 90+ outside, lol.

I don't know if that's old school, at least in the US. When my mom was learning to bake bread in the 50's and 60's, "good" bread was defined by having as little crust as possible and the smallest crumb you could achieve. They wanted it soft and uniform and perfect. The whiter the better. The rustic, crusty bread (which I agree is better) is something that just got popular in the US in the last few decades, although it was popular in Italy and other parts of Europe before that.

Well im born in Europe so old school american is not my old school, lol. Soft bread without crumb is like the worst thing you could do to it, unless you have no teeth or some shit, then I understand.
