The Chopped Challenge

BTW, WTF is Mush? :dunno:

 

It's this roll of cornmeal and water. It's mushy cornmeal that they roll up and you can slice it and cook it. Gross.

THIRD COURSE:

 

Mush

Caramels

Pomegranate

Thin Ginger Cookies

 

WHAT I MADE: Maple Crusted Mush with Pecan Cream and Caramel and Chocolate Pomegranate Ginger Cookies

Papa Smurf Rating: 8

 

Third Course

 

 

a real chef would have used her ice cream machine for some pomegranate sorbet. and crushed those ginger cookies up and sprinkled some lightly on top. served it in a bowl with some pieces of the crusted mush with the caramel drizzled on them. no pecan cream

Yeah, a chopped judge would have called out the ginger cookies. She didn't repurpose them. Sort of a copout.

I see several ways in which you could have improved those concoctions, but I'm not the type to armchair qb

So your boyfriend tricked you into cooking a three course meal and 'judged' it? :dunno:

You wear a hair net and gloves while prepping I hope

 

Clearly the boyfriend is not too concerned about disease.

It's a good idea I don't think I carry the necessary pantry stock to make the contest extend beyond adding condiments to the special items.

My pantry is pretty stocked with condiments, spices, and the standard stuff like butter, flour, sugar, milk, cream, honey, etc...

 

I always have a ton of onions and potatoes and garlic and shallots in the house. And salad making stuff. I honestly didn't use any veggies except the salad stuff which I would have had anyway because I like to make myself salads for lunch. But he bought a few veggies just in case I wanted to use them as a side dish: brussel sprouts and cauliflower.

 

You like to cook too, right Dank? I think you should try it. If you are into cooking, it was really fun. And if I remember correctly your GF can stay out of your hair and then judge your meal at the end, which is probably better. :cheers:

1. Did you know that it's actually "brussels sprouts"? It's kinda weird to say/type it that way, but it is the correct term for that vegetable. I only recently found out myself and thought it was interesting.

 

2. This actually sounds like a pretty cool idea. I may try it with my fiancee one of these cold winter weekends. Problem is I'll probably be the one that has to do the cooking. :mad:

Really? It's brussels sprouts? That's interesting.

 

It's really fun. Especially if you are the one who is cooking. I'm all left brain and I rarely do anything creative. But cooking is one of my passions and I know I'm not super creative but it's the only vehicle I have to express a little "art". That's why I think it was more fun for me than it was for my boyfriend, even though he had a good time because he couldn't think of what I was going to make from the ingredients. But he did help a bit when I asked him to pound cookies into bread crumbs. It was just a fun dorky day.

Probably. Why wouldn't it? We don't have any kids. There's no reason for the majority of our days not to end in sex.

Well like today he goes to sleep early and you get wasted on CM and act like a tramp here .... Was that a yes or no ? Probably does not cut it.

He's got to be at work at 9:00 am and I promised him I wouldn't wake him up tonight because he needs a good night's sleep. So I know that sex is out of the question.. hence me being here. I feel bad because I've been keeping him up when he needs to work in the morning and he hasn't had a good night's sleep in a while. :dunno:
