    I made mooncakes for the first time yesterday, I wanted to be ready to make them for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. I’ve been buying them for a long time and decided to finally make them myself.

    They’re not as difficult as I expected, actually. Since the cakes are molded there’s some nuance to getting the dough the right thickness. Making them at home gives an incredible variety of options for fillings; I did purple sweet potato, cheesecake, and matcha.

    Saw a video of an Italian guy making carbonara and copied his recipe. It was delish. Main takeaway was putting some water in the pan with the guoncale and some water in the egg mixture.

    I just made a huge pot of chorizo cheese dip yesterday for our “dinner club” we host once a month. I also made tacos and guacamole but I only took a pic of the queso. It was very good and we sent home a bunch with everyone too. I made it with white American cheese.

      @SoaringFox@beehaw.org For some reason I can’t see any replies to this thread from outside my instance, hopefully this post works

      I like to dry rub and smoke them for about 3-4 hours, wrap for 1, then unwrap with some sauce on top until they’re done. During the first part I mist them with apple cider vinegar for extra flavor and moisture.
