Jack is Cooking more Cookies!

Posted on by under blueberry, butter, cookies, gluten free, jam, nutella, peach, strawberry, sugar
Well Hello Internet!
so today i made an experimental batch of cookies, to test out for christmas!  i used 5 different types of fillings, to see how successful they may or may not be.  either way they will definitely be delicious!  but some fillings may or may not work.
so from from left to right:
nutella, strawberryjam, four fruit jam, blueberry jam, peach preserve (jam?)
then finally after searching high and low, i found some coloured sugar:
and i baked them for 10 minutes:
the blueberry jam appears to be a lot more liquidy and therefor does not contain within the cookes as well.  also these are gluten free cookies, so the dough spread out quite a bit more.
they are extremely delicious!
for the recipe check out the previous cookie post.
to make them gluten free, i used pamelas gluten free pancake and baking mix, instead of flour.  although i had to use a little bit more than normal flour, to get the right consistency with the dough.
i will continue in my gluten free experiments, as more and more people seem to be gluten free
mmmm mmm delicious

Jack is Cooking Really F***ing Delicious Sugar Cookies

Posted on by under butter, cookies, eggs, shortening, snickerdoodles, sugar
Well Hello Internet!
So yesterday i went on a tour of the French culinary institute to investigate the possibilities of taking a pastry course.  and oh man was it awesome!  i got a contact sugar high!
i was so excited that i ran home and i decided to make cookies!  and then while they were cooking i was still so excited that i wrote a song about making the cookies! the song is called “really f***ing delicious sugar cookies”  and yes i say the “F” word a lot  in the song, so if your sensitive or something don’t watch it.  but your gonna miss out on its supreme awesomeness!
 so check out that video at the end of this post!!!
but heres how you make these really f***ing delicious sugar cookies!  (aka the lyrics to the song!)
preheat oven to 350°
heres what you’ll need:
2/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup butter
1.5 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3.5 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
So you take the butter, and the shortening, and the sugar and you mix it all together
until you get a nice creamy substance that looks really f***ing good
and then you take the eggs, and the vanilla extract, and you mix that into the creamy substance
until it looks really f***ing delicious
Then in another bowl, you take the flour and the baking powder and the salt, and you mix it together until it looks like flour again!  then you take this flour mixture, and you slowly mix it into the creamy delicious mixture, until you get a nice big ball of dough that looks really f***ing delicious!
Then you take this big ball of dough, and break of smaller balls, and roll them around in your hand until you have little balls of dough.  then you take these balls of dough, and you roll them around in sugar, (i also rolled some around in cinnamon sugar to make snickerdoodles)
place these sugar coated balls of dough on a cookie sheet, and bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven

and out they come!  and oh man are they really f***ing delicious!

the snickerdoodles are excellent with nutella on them.  i still have half of that really big ball of dough left, so i am going to make more cookies tomorrow night.  but im gonna do something really super special that is even better than this, so i will make another post about it!!!

mmmm mmmm delicious!

oh yah!  heres the song!

Jack is Cooking Rice without a Rice Cooker

Posted on by under butter, rice
Well Hello Internet!
Last night i decided to make one of the simplest things ever to make.  Rice!
Rice the staple of oh so many countries in the world.  It is so plain, yet so many delicious things can be made out of it.  In the past i have posts involving rice, and plan to have many more posts centering around rice, but for everything, you probably (definitely) need to cook the rice first!
I find that many people have no idea how to cook this incredibly simple food item, without a rice cooker that is!
I used to swear by my rice cooker.  but one day i found myself rice cookerless, and i had to figure out how to do it myself!
what i found was the rice i made came out quicker, and was far better!
For this particular post i used Thai Jasmine Rice.  This is my preferred white rice.  However there are like a million types of rice!

Heres what to do for white rice:

for every 1 cup of rice use 1.5 cups of water
i like to put a little butter in with the rice.  1 tablespoon per 2 cups of rice

1st:  rinse the rice until the water runs clear, and is no longer milky

2nd: put the rice water and butter in an uncovered pan

3rd: Bring the water to a boil
4th: turn the heat down to medium and cover the pot partially. (3/4s)
5th:  keep an eye on the rice!  when craters appear (3-5 minutes) in the rice its ready for the next stage
6th: Turn the heat all the way down and cover completely
7th: Cook covered on the lowest heat possible for 10 minutes.  (DONT OPEN THE LID!)
let it sit for a further 5 minutes (STILL DONT OPEN THE LID!)

and then its done!  Fluff with a fork and serve!

or save for other uses like Fried Rice!

see how simple that is?

mmm mmm delicious

Jack is Cooking Pork Chops

Posted on by under bread, butter, cheese, eggs, flour, garlic, green beans, milk, paprika, pork chops
Well Hello Internet!
So last night i somehow had the motivation to get up and make some dinner.  nothing fancy, but boy was it good!  i made breaded pork chops
heres what i used
2 pork chops ( from Herondale Farm of course!)
bread crumbs
paprika
parsley
one egg
also
some french cut beans
cheddar cheese
milk
a little bit of flour
garlic
So First i took the bread crumbs and mixed them with a little paprika and some parsley.
then i took the pork chops and dipped them in the egg, and then in the bread crumbs, and then because i like them extra breaded, i put them back in the egg, and then back in the bread crumbs.  that’s easy right?
heres what they looked like
Then i took the chops, and i heated some olive oil in a pan.  i cooked them for like 1-2 minutes on each side.  then i put them in the oven at 350 for another 20 minutes.
In the meantime, i put a little butter in that pan (some of the oil had been soaked up by the chops)
i sauteed some garlic.  then i added the french cut beans.  i let those cook for a couple minutes over low/medium heat.  once they were cooked i put a little bit of flour in the pan to start a roux.  i added maybe half a cup of milk, and some grated cheddar cheese.
This made a nice side dish to the pork chops and added a little bit of green.
heres both together!  sorry for a lack of pictures this time.
mmm  mmm delicious
