Got a smash burger press and this like multi chop and mandelin tool. I was chopping some onions thin on the mandelin and got my thumb a bit holy shit that thing is sharp, luckily not too bad. But anyways it also has this thing that makes cutting potatos into shoe string fries much easier. Anyways the burger I did two patties, white onions, pickle, white cheddar, toasted buns, and a hot sauce mayo mix. And I had leftover buns so I made a chicken burger (not as good) the next day with some sprouts drizzled with honey and balsamic vinegar. I like them very charred like that.
Ok, here’s some more. I don’t typically like seafood, but I couldn’t go without getting chowder and a lobster roll while in Boston. Also, a pasta w/ crawfish.
And here’s a sweets post. Ridiculous ass s’mores frappe/milkshake monstrosity. And a raspberry roll and cannolis from Italian pastry shops in the north end of Boston.
The raspberry roll was from Mike’s Pastry. Then some local told us Modern Pastry Shop was better lol so we went there to get the cannolis.

Best Damn Air Fryer Pork Chops I have literally never cooked any type of pork or ham but I'm gonna try this. Can someone tell me the purpose of rinsing it with water first?
No need to rinse them first. rinsing meat is some weird thing that has been passed down for years but doesn't do anything other than splatter raw meat water all over your sink. Do pat them dry before cooking though, and if possible season with salt a day or two ahead of time and leave uncovered in the fridge on a rack so air can circulate all around the chops
only reason Id ever consider rinsing meat is to pull off excess salt from dry brining or something, otherwise its mostly a waste of time and water also speaking of tacos, I'm attempting to do cochinita pibil this weekend in a combo of my kettle grill and dutch oven for an indirect, smoky slow cook. No clue if its gonna work but fingers crossed.
The rinsing / washing meat thing is so tiring considering it's debated on every single cooking video ever. I have concluded it's cultural and that's all there is to it - some people are taught to do it and will, and others and aren't and won't. I don't wash my meat (HEHE), and I don't assume that any restaurant I've ever eaten at has either. Speaking of fried pork chops... I made chicken 'schnitzel' and it came out great. I had it with a side salad with a lemon dressing and as the dressing ran off and under the chicken it was perfect. One of the best thing's I've cooked and first time 'frying' (shallow fry) in my apartment. I won't do it much as frying oil just doesn't smell good but it was worth it for the food. It got a little darker in spots (home made breadcrumbs that I over toasted to begin with and it was thicker than I liked) but I was still happy with it. Would make again but pound that chicken a little harder and more.
What annoys me the most is when people look down on people who don’t wash meat in the comments, when those who don’t really don’t care if others do. And that discourse takes up the majority of the comment space when I’m just trying to find helpful tips and hints.
