Quarantine Cooking!

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

You're making the IMPORTANT food!
I wish that I lived closer to Connie G! Yum! I should make cookies one day. That sounds amazing.

Made some cinnamon rolls last night! I tried a recipe for tangzhong cinnamon rolls last time, and while I didn't love the recipe, I liked how soft they were. So this time I just whipped up the tangzhong part of the other recipe and threw it into the dough of my preferred cinnamon rolls. I probably broke all sorts of baking rules, but they turned out great, so now I will be way overconfident in making alterations to recipes. \:D/

Actually, it would be great if you could share some of the Caribbean food so we can expand our food horizons.

I also know I promised a green bean recipe. It is from Southern Living.
I pound green beans
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
0.5 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 medium red bell pepper sliced about the same thickness as the beans
0.5 medium sweet onion sliced about the same thickness as the beans
1 teaspoon peanut or sesame oil
0.75 teaspoon garlic salt

1. cook green beans in boiling salted water covered for 1 minute. Drain and pat dry.
2. Stir together brown sugar, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper.
3, Saute bell pepper, onion, and green beans in the oil in a large skillet over high heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with garlic salt.
4. Remove from heat. Add soy sauce mixture and stir to coat.
Another way to make veggies better is to cover them with yummy sauces. This sauce is original and takes some work but has a high yield. What you don't use right away you can freeze for later. It also tastes good as a sause or glaze on chicken or mushrooms.
A half head of garlic's worth of garlic cloves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1. 33 cups brown sugar
1 cup sesame ginger dressing
0.33 cup water
0.25 and 1tablespoon soy sauce
1 6oz can pineapple juice
3 tablespoons lemon juice
pinch of paprika

1. Preheat oven to 325f
2. In enough tin foil to surround and tent, toss the garlic in olive oil and enclose.
3 Put the garlic in the oven for 1 hour.
4. Stir brown sugar, dressing, water, and soy sauce together in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
5. Mash garlic into a paste and add to sauce with a whisk.
6. Stir in pineapple juice and paprika.
7. Keep simmering for it to reduce for 45 mins.

I know it's not quarantine anymore, but I'm resurrecting this thread because I'm just so dang proud of this delicious cake my sister and I made from scratch. :inlove: (I tried putting it in a spoiler, but that shrank it down to a really tiny size for some reason. :-k )

How's this for a bachelor (or other person) meal idea? Bacon! :drool: I have had way too much bacon over the last few months. I do it in the oven, so there's basically no work or mess, and then I have BLTs or make scrambled eggs and toast or whatever. It's good every time!
