Meredith made Mango and Sweet Coconut Sticky Rice [Simple Thai] for gluttonfest
Also used this guide (LOCAL). Did not use the instant pot because already soaked.
For the coconut topping, she used cake flour instead of rice flour in the cream since all we had was glutinous rice flour (Mochiko) and we didn’t know what that would do
The final result was pretty good! We used the instant pot to serve (but not cook). The flavor was really good and it went over well! The coconut cream topping needed to be used sparingly as it wasn't sweet at all but as long as you did that, the mix of salty and sweet worked well!

Meredith made Zucchini Breakfast Casserole [The Kitchn]
She added 1/2 tsp, and a good glug of olive oil to bowl and tossed the zucchini and bread in it. This makes up for skipping the bacon. Also, was feeling lazy so I used pre-shredded Mexican blend cheese. I forgot the black pepper entirely.
Made fresh cooked a lot easier. Still took longer than they said but it was easier.
The bread was super stale when we froze it which worked well. Meredith was able to break it up from frozen and didn't need to cut it or anything!

We made grilled peaches. We followed The Kitchn but not copying it in. Basically, coat peaches with olive oil and grill for 4 min per side.
The peaches were weird. They weren't bad but I think too much grill flavor was picked up. And we served it with Blue Bell Black Walnut Ice Cream. That was also pretty old but it wasn't bad.
This was a fun and new way to each peaches so that was fun. Bisecting them was really hard though since the pit really wanted to stick. I tried to cut it out as best I could to mixed success.

I made the regular Tawook. I actually prepped this a few days before so it had a lot of time to marinate.
It was very good as usual. I do wish I could get it to stick less to the grill. But otherwise it was pretty tasty!
Also served with grilled broccolini and tahini sauce. And some way-overgrown radishes (that weren't very good). And store bought flat bread

I made koefta turkey burgers. I used the regular recipe with lean turkey. I only had a pound but I made the same amount of spices (probably going heavy on the herbs). I made four patties and grilled them. Served with (fresh from the garden) cucumber and Trader Joes Garlic Spread (aka Toum).
Very good as usual! I like these spices in burger form.

Following my Char Siu Chicken on a Stick for the same theme Meredith made a jelly roll to look like a stick (a la a yule log). She used Peach-Compote Dessert Cups [Martha Stewart] as inspiration for the filling and used the "Swiss Roll" from Avocado Emoji Swiss Roll (and Inlay Paste) [Heather Baird]. For topping it, she used brown butter frosting. Some leftover from (I think) 2021-02-14 and then some more from the same recipe.
The compote was really good and we thought it would stand up well to the strong brown butter flavor. Unfortunately, we were wrong. While the cake was delicious, you couldn't really even taste the peaches!

This week's Gluttonfest theme was "things on a stick" so I made
Char Siu Pork [Asian Dumplings by Andrea Nguyen]. I followed the general recipe except, even though it isn't at all the same thing, I used Chinkiang vinegar for the dark soy sauce. And I used about 2 lbs of cut chicken thigh.
I marinated it overnight and then grilled it while basting the marinade (except the last flip where I wanted to make sure it was fully cooked.
I didn't love it but it certainly wasn't bad. Just not as good as I what we get at the local Chinese restaurant.

This barely counts and I debated not posting it but the BBQ Ranch Salad kit from Dole with grilled chicken. I got super inexpensive chicken this morning already sliced. I just brushed on some oil and then sprinkled it with Montreal Chicken Seasoning. I grilled it for about 2-3 min per side.
