I cooked again!

The other thing I cooked was calzones. Here are all the ingredients laid out (sorry the picture is sideways):


I made the sauce and the fillings:


I think that avocado is hiding underneath the bowl:



Mixing the fillings:

The dough came pre-made, but I did have to separate it into three pieces:


The extremely even three pieces:


I didn't do a great job getting them closed with no holes:


They exploded a little in the oven, but they still look delicious:


And here's the final presentation, with the extra sauce for dipping:


Delicious! So I cooked twice, if you can even believe it!

I cooked!

In the first week of January, we got a free week of food from Blue Apron from a friend. I cooked 2 of the meals, and here's the first one: cauliflower steaks. They send you all of the ingredients, and here they are, all laid out nicely:


Here is some evidence that it was actually me cooking:


Partway through, the greens all looked nice:


Cauliflowers turn out to be very pretty, like trees, when you slice them vertically:


The range of colors of scallions (sorry, I don't think there's a way to rotate the picture in Blogger):


In prep bowls, so fancy:


Making the coconut curry sauce:


The fanciest part of all was the black rice, which was really cool and very tasty:


Adding the lime zest:


Making the individual servings:


A close-up before toppings:


The process of adding toppings, observed by a skeptical friend:


The final product:


It was delicious! We've even made it again since then, and it wasn't easy because we had to find somewhere to buy black rice. Mmmmm!
