So I made a bean pie. That sounds like an odd thing to do but the humble bean pie has a pretty storied past and I've been meaning to make one for awhile. The spices are very warm, the curd? is dense and creamy, and the beans add a pleasant savory element that blends well with the spices. It's really quite delicious. Not much of a looker though.

day 75 - 3/15/24 - pie crustacean
i don't have the heart to tell him...
i'm really proud of this one!!! it originally was just flat colors and didn't look really good, but i decided the metal needed a bit more to really look like metal. this then led me to also shade the pie and i'm so glad i did all that because WOW what a glow up! i love him i love this little guy so much :3 it's still pi day in my heart, little guy...

meals for this week:
i missed 5 days of work bc i was out of town for bianca's birthday last week so it's going to be extra scrappy cooking this week (thank u god for giving me a freezer <3)
a golden roasted mushroom pasta dish with goat cheese and lemon and chives, i want to use some kind of short pasta shape with lots of chew to it :3
i've got a whole chicken in the freezer, i want to make another roast chicken with potatoes and then cook some dinosaur kale in the schmaltz, i made it a bit too salty last time but it was DELICIOUS so i know how to adjust my seasoning a little bit better now
i have a big bag of shrimp i had to freeze a couple weeks ago so i am thinking of poaching some juicy shrimp with herbs and lemon and garlic and ginger and putting it on top of some cold noodles, either with a spicy sesame or spicy peanut sauce, with shredded cabbage and tons of herbs
i also will make a caramelized onion, sausage, and egg breakfast sandwich for dinner with hot sauce and arugula, it's fast and easy and savory and sooo filling and delicious and i already have a tube of breakfast sausage in the freezer i can thaw
getting chocolate covered strawberry supplies bc even tho we agreed to not spend money on gifts for each other for valentine's day, i still want 2 decorate and make a little treat for my gf

Just watched a relative try to skip the work of shredding cheese for baked mac and cheese by cutting it into little cubes and stirring them into the mac and cheese sauce. It’s in the baking dish now and there are still big orange cubes all through it. Life is so hard when the options are either know-it-all micromanaging or having to eat a dish somewhere in the subpar to abysmal range…

just attempted to read a fanfic that was like a food youtuber AU thing and I had to immediately exit out of it because they had the main character make pie crust by first creaming butter in a bowl

Spent today baking for a get together. Apple pie, blueberry pie, a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and a banana bread! Need to remember to bake my banana bread in the smaller loaf pan, this one came out way too short, lol.

Was woken up this morning by my oven clicking endlessly and when I called my landlord to ask him for help, before I could say anything about the oven he launched into a speech about how the basement is flooded which is why there will be no hot water until Monday. Which is of course how I learned I have no hot water, because I was calling about my oven (which in end he came over to look at, unplugged, and told me he'll have a guy come by and look at it Monday, which is frustrating because I was planning to bake a pie for a party today? I guess I'll just show up with the homemade pie filling I have all ready to go in the fridge????).

i remember when i was a kid when i would help my mom make bread or biscuits. i liked that. it was a kind of difficult chore, and my mom and i didn't always get along, but somehow it always felt like we were a team and it would work out, when we baked together. and it always did.
