Lunch..
Smoking hot spaghetti |Baked beef |Berries |Parsley

The beef was baked with a crazy marinade I made.
I felt like experimenting, so I marinated the beef with my local marinade for 10hours before baking.

The marinade was made up of:
Heavy cream (leftover from culinary school..I'm surprised it hasn't gone bad in room temp)
Strawberry and gooseberries
Ginger, garlic and fenugreek
Brown sugar
Sesame oil
Salt
Sweet chilli sauce
Curry powder
Fresh rosemary
Vodka
Grated coconut..... It's crazy I know. The taste of the beef was mixed. I feel the sesame oil overpowered others...

Dalgona, cookies and berries

MomoAdura:
So I'll use 3 cups but the third one should be less abi. I'm sorry for the plenty questions

Do you have a measuring cup. If yes, ¾ cup is 3 of the ¼ cup

Black - Black Gooseberries

I buy the yellow ones often but I've never seen the black ones before. Do they taste the same?

Thanks for the names! I really appreciate.

Hathor5:
Mint tea. I added a teaspoon of honey.

cococandy:
I forgot what that yellow one is called but if it’s what I think it is, it has a very nice smell and flavor but with a tart/sour sweetness.

Exactly! The yellow one has a tart taste. The black one is sweet. She said it is ribenna

breadplanets:
So I decided to try the ciabatta bread with my small electric oven. I didn't do the long hours proofing o. No time biko
Unfortunately nepa decided to bring ³/⁴ current today so the oven wasn't as hot as normal. I still got something that resembles it somehow

I was impatient and cut it while still very hot

I use my phone default camera app.
Thanks!

Prestonn:
What Breadplanet said is exactly what you need. Oven that retain heat. Even if you gonna use electric oven, it must be those ones you see in bakery.

Below is my oven. Second photo is my ciabatta.

No hope for me then

Your oven looks like somebody's house o...shuoo. It's fine sha... can I lodge there? The cold here is too much

Your Ciabatta top is inviting. Did you design on purpose or it was a coincidence?

breadplanets:
I think you will need those stone abi mud oven that retains heat like mad to be able to get that look in the original picture. The bread is also baked on stone slabs not our normal oven trays or pan. You try sha. D crust looks amazing

Wow. That's another thing. I tried my best sha.

Thanks. The crust was flaky and yummy

Noodles Pizza

Chef Prestonn...I tried out the noodles Pizza recipe you gave months ago. This is the result. It almost got burnt. I've learnt my lessons though.

Gracias Chef!

Prestonn:
Boss Boss

Looks good to me, you are really trying... Much respect.
The problem is not your ingredients or how you mixed it.

From the look the problem is your oven, ciabatta might likely not come out well when you use home oven to bake.

Thanks Chef

Oh! What kind of oven do they use

Mariangeles:
One thing you have to understand is some great innovations were born out "mistakes".
When you make something, it doesn't have to look or taste or be like what inspired it.
Yours look good as well, and I'm very well sure it tasted great also. Just own it!
Looking at the both pics, I'd go for yours because the other looks too dry to me.
Know that you have the ability to create new things out of old ideas.

You're very correct. I will note this somewhere....Thanks!

The taste was lit. It tasted like bread for the elites. I thought it would be tasteless but I finished it o.

Hathor5:
I have never made it but I reckon you should have used warm water. Anyway, sprinkle it with olive oil and eat it with ham or meat and some veggies and it will be tasty. It looks like it is supposed to to me. I like Ciabatta a lot, especially with meat and salad.

I used warm water. I guess the problem came from over flouring while I was trying to shape...it was too fluid and wet and was just sticking anyhow.

What's ham again. I ate it like that jare. It is one of the best bread I have ever eaten. The taste was super unique with its crunchy outside and chewy inside. I love the bread but the stress no be here.
Thanks

pocohantas:
I don’t care what anyone says, but my sucre papito is one lucky modafucker.

My ewa agoyin. I dedicate this one to the whole thread, Akposy and Maiangeles.

I am not scared of job loss again, I go just open buka. Hahahaha

Chei! This na temptation...that can lead to chopution.
Your plating and photo is premium. The agoyin sauce is on fire. You did well! Can I taste please

I made this rustic Italian bread called Ciabatta yesterday.

It was a miss. I don't think I will want to make this bread again. It took twelve hours to make this and it didn't come out well at all. Although, the taste was perfect but the texture (inside) wasn't how it is supposed to be. I just weak!

Chef Prestonn..what could have gone wrong

Modified
The bread is a no knead bread, no butter, no sugar bread. It requires just 4 ingredients (flour, water, yeast and salt)

Second pics is the interior I got
Third pics is how the interior ia supposed to look like

Newbreed2018:
Lol

Coming from a woman who incapacitated her so called loving hubby.

Me and ur husband go reason ur matter for beer parlor

Have ur housemaid eaten today?

This doesn't concern me but I must talk

You should be ashamed of yourself for allowing the husband discuss his family issues over bottles of cheap, intoxicating drinks. Kindly advice the acclaimed husband to go home and fix his marriage.
If you were a good person, you'd have gathered evidence of the house help being maltreated and report to a human right foundation or police.

Indeed, men are the real gossips. SMH

please stop disturbing our food fair. Take this to family section biko...I ain't married and don't want you guys to disturb me with your marriage palava. Thank you
