I used a sharp white cheddar.

Thank you!

I needed something to do with the last 1.5 pounds of Christmas prime rib, and a meat, potato, and cheddar pie seemed like the exact right thing to do. Also gives me a good way to use up the rest of the horseradish sauce.

I sauteed two yellow onions and three gold potatoes, with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, in oil until the onions had their spirits broken.

While this was happening, I chopped up the rest of the meat and dusted it with flour. After the onions and potatoes were done, I removed them from the pan and seared the beef. I added the onions and potatoes back to the pan. I added a couple cups of beef stock along with some dried thyme, rosemary, and a few dashes of worchestershire sauce. I simmered this for about 2.5 hours, until the meat was tender. I tasted several times during this and added salt more than once; I think the potatoes were absorbing the salt as I went, possibly? Not sure. I also put quite a bit of black pepper in there, because black pepper is delicious.

I know this was a "waste" of prime rib, essentially using it as stew meat. But I've been eating off this thing for a week now. I've become one with the prime rib.

Also I probably should have waited before adding the potatoes, because they simmered an additional 2.5 hours with the meat. They did hold up pretty well, though. Definitely soft, but they didn't dissolve or anything, like I was afraid of.

After the meat was tender I chopped up about a handful of parsley and added that, along with a slurry of cornstarch (a couple tablespoons cornstarch with a couple tablespoons water or so). I let it come back to a simmer, then let things cool down.

I made a pie crust and blind baked it. I thawed a sheet of Pepperidge Farm puff pastry and rolled it out to fit my pie, as well, then put it back in the freezer for a few minutes while I assembled the rest.

I put the filling in and topped it with about 8 ounces of shredded sharp white cheddar. Took an eggwash around the edge of the pie, then laid the puff pastry sheet on top and pressed it down around the edge to try to seal it to the lower crust. Then I cut a few slits for steam (not sure if necessary), eggwashed the top, and baked at 400 for about 30 minutes.

It turned out amazing. The horseradish sauce is great, too: about a half cup of mayonnaise, half cup sour cream, a few tablespoons of prepared horseradish, some salt, black pepper, a half tablespoon or so of mustard, and a teaspoon or less of lemon juice.

Is that the one with the eye?

That was awesome.

Big ears!

Are the "good guys" still kaiju? I mean, I know the good monsters are still kaiju. But is, like, Ultraman a kaiju?

I use semolina on the peel to keep the dough from sticking.

Not as far as I know. Just got it off Amazon.

Wood works much, much better for putting the pizza in. The dough sticks badly to metal, in my experience. But metal is much easier to use for moving the pizza and taking it out.

Phantom time conspiracies are my favorite kind of dumbass conspiracies.

To load the gun. Pay attention!

Definitely. Will post then when I get to my computer.

Though apparently only forms because of a fungus!

Especially in manga.

I'll have to look into that idea! Honestly I never even imagined that these were even vaguely related to actual Chinese desserts; I entirely assumed they were just Western cake ideas, but impossibly cheap.

Like the pizza that's always on those burgers. Even less authentic than the rest of the stuff, and somehow cheaper tasting than even Cici's. (Not knocking the restaurants for that; gotta have something for the picky kids.)

I think that looks amazing. Wow! Do you have a recipe?

Hired goons?

I got the sauce from an airport in Montana! Sorry, or I'd definitely be proud enough to post a recipe!

          160 grams warm water (90-100 F)
      1.25 tsp instant yeast
      15 grams dry milk powder
      0.5 tbsp sugar
      1 tbsp olive oil
      0.5 tsp salt
      2 cups AP flour
      6 tbsp butter

  

Mix the first four ingredients together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let it sit until it gets foamy, about 5 minutes. Then add the olive oil and salt. Turn the mixer on low (with dough hook) and slowly add the flour. When it starts coming together, turn it up to medium low and let it go maybe 5 minutes or so, until the dough is pretty smooth and it's cleaned itself off the sides of the bowl.

Put in a bowl, cover and let rise in a warm spot for 90 minutes.

Melt the butter and put half of it in a 9x13 pan.

Punch the dough down and shape it into a rectangle to fill the pan. Put it in the buttered pan and cover with another tbsp of melted butter. Cover and let rise another hour.

Preheat oven to 475 F.

Uncover the dough, and if you want, you can score the dough with a knife to make little indentations showing you where to cut later.

Bake until it's golden across the top, about 13-15 minutes.

Immediately brush with the remaining melted butter. Then use as much topping as you'd like.

The topping was about 1.5 tbsp of Parmesan, 1/2 tbsp onion powder, a tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1/2 tsp basil. This makes what ended up being too much topping, so I'd reduce everything a little or just don't use the whole thing.

I was hoping to emulate Pizza Hut breadsticks! The ones I had at Pizza Hut when I worked there and could make them fresh were the best things.

Bullet Train was fun as hell.

Edit: I just realized that I saw John Wick based on, "Hey I want to see a movie today. John Wick? No idea what this is, but if it's in IMAX it might be fun!"

It was.
