So, I tried my hand at making buns and supper lastnight, yet again. And I needed something quick as I was getting hungry, so what I came up with was Sloppy Joes and Buns!

( NEW Garlic Bun Recipe )

This actually works, and is rather quick. The buns came out a little heavy, but I figure maybe if I let the yeast sit a little longer it might help.

( Goopey Meat Recipe )

Ingredients:
* 1lb(ish) Ground beef, lean prefered
* 1 onion
* 3 cloves of Garlic
* dash of oil
* 3 Tbsp sugar
* 3 Tbsp yellow mustard
* 1/3 cup Ketchup
* Salt, pepper, chilli powder for taste

Directions
1. finely chop garlic and onion
2. Brown meat and onion in a deep skillet/frying pan
3. Drain juices from the pan
4. Add all other ingredients to the pan and cook on high for 3-5 minutes, constantly stirring. Do not let it burn!
5. Turn off heat but leave on burner. Cover with lid.

Really easy, inexpensive, and tasty.

The result? By the time I was done the meat the buns had been out of the oven long enough to be cut open. It was wonderful! Fed 3 people and there were enough leftovers for one more bun/meat. Total prep time before nomming? About 40 minutes.

Sorry, no pictures this time. they got eaten too fast.

We join our intrepid bunny after having made pizza from scratch from the bottom up.
The crust worked. A very simple recipe.

The pizzas themselves... well... the first on ended up rising a little much on the edge, the crust becoming half the pizza.
But the second...

I have also decided I will cook more, bake more, even through Karen won't :P

So, I was thinking of making bread tonight, but then found out we were out of Milk. So I modified my idea and made burgers instead. But unlike last time, this time I made the buns from scratch!

Required Equipment:
-Bread Maker
-2 Cookie Sheets
-Parchment Paper

Recipe:
1 cup water
2 eggs
1/2 cup Crisco shortening
4 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 Tbsp Onion Flakes
4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Toss the ingredients into the breadmaker in the order listed.
Select dough/pasta setting. When the cycle is complete (right before it starts to rise in the bread maker) remove dough from machine to a lightly floured surface.
Cut the dough after folding it a few times in half. repeat and repeat until you end up with bits that will very easilly fit in your balled hands.
Ball the dough and put it on the papered cookie sheets. let them sit and rise for about 30 minutes or so.

They'll look like this:

Combine 1 slightly beaten egg with 1 tbsp of water and brush on the buns.
Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes or until lightly brown.

**EDIT**
They'll come out something like this:
Round 2:

Round 1 looked... well... Round 1:

The first set were very nummy. sweet, oniony... second batch is going into the oven in a few minutes. With burgers in them, they were heavenly, if a little heavy.

Man, I think I need to comission some icons or something... I think I'll need one for cooking posts. So if anyone wants to take a hack at making some little images of me please! let me know!

Alright, so lastnight was cooking! This humble bunny whipped up some culinary delights (well, made burgers, but still) and they came out tasty!

Tonight, I did something I never thought I would do.
Tonight, I accomplished something I am somewhat proud of.

I made sushi.

khydeeaunta and I went to go do groceries, and I had been tossing the idea around for a bit so we decided to get the fixings.
A nice guy at a fish store in the Jean-Talon market helped us with the right fish and such (seeing as he works at a *gasp* fish store), and then it began.

( The experiment... with Peektchures! )

[edit] Things to remember when making sushi:
-Rice is sticky
-Paper is brittle
-The Mat helps, but isn't needed
-Rice is sticky
-the cat will want some of the fish
-the first cut is the messiest
-The rice is still sticky
-The cat will still want some of the fish.
