SKULLBIKER'S 2022 FLOG(food log)

Well, it's about time to start this years FLOG. I guess now the first pic of the thread is the cover image.πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ I made a frozen pizza the other day, This is it after adding Mixed Cowboy Candy to it and jammin' it into the Breyville.

I took the cabbages from the GOLOG(plus a couple small heads), about 4 1/2 pounds total and decided to make Fried Cabbage.

7FEE7808-5C06-439E-8303-554CDBCEF902.jpeg


First I'll start by frying up 1 1/2 pounds of bacon.

3A0F23C4-C7A5-4DE2-9CD6-240B28EC05FC.jpeg


Fry it up good and get all the water and grease out of it.

705744A6-CAE4-448D-8D7A-23CDD7057B09.jpeg


Now the bacon is nice and crispy to add in later.

BC797E82-FCCC-47F4-9938-A6021AA5AB47.jpeg


Take a few jalapenos.

0B3382D5-EE8F-4B5C-8B1C-A054B5A7A114.jpeg


Plus a large onion.

37DE4473-32A9-4A79-881E-4F07E5B27B90.jpeg


Chop them up.

959FD720-1667-42C8-9A83-B313060A7A63.jpeg


Take the chopped onion and peppers and carmelize them in the bacon grease.

14480255-5F5A-4B2A-9A01-19A1A65E9729.jpeg


Chop up the cabbage.

625F1CD1-8A40-4520-8E80-181F823344D4.jpeg


Start cooking it down in the pan with the bacon grease, peppers and onions. Cook a good portion of the water out.

6039285E-C6D2-48C7-8EF7-A6948CC9F476.jpeg


At this point I usually add in another type of meat, sometimes diced Spam or ham, or in this case I thin sliced (3) quarter pound Nathan's beef hot dogs!

D65692BC-0C2C-4A03-A210-A5F706AA505D.jpeg


Continue to mix it and cook it until much of the water is gone.

2D4A6B27-78B1-42DC-91AD-028A3F04032B.jpeg


When done cooking I divide it up into portions to freeze for future meals(except for the one I eat immediately).

Next up will be Kossak Kohlrabi Kraut.

I know a lot of people exercise in the morning to get the "burn" going.

Here's how I do it.

Thick sliced sourdough bread, toasted, and heavily buttered. Then glop on the "pepper jelly" of choice(this morning it's Mucho Nacho Jalapeno).

861A5A9A-EE57-4C21-B0EE-8F6DC08325AB.jpeg


Spread the jelly out evenly(preferrably while the toast is still warm) and let the morning burn begin! πŸ”₯

I thought I better post this before I forget completely.
I took those two Kossak Kohlrabi that were shown on my GOLOG and saw a recipe and decided to make something different so I dug out the Kitchenaid processor and installed the grater plate.

5D003BAB-D31E-4537-A9BA-C8752E4F0FAB.jpeg


Then peel off the outer skin.

78ED3ED1-4311-4073-9FD6-476252D1AC10.jpeg


Cut it up into pieces that fit into the processor opening.

1F9A6D3D-186F-4946-A38A-5F829A6AEB2A.jpeg


Run it through the processor and get this.

5E20DA1D-DE2C-466A-ABA3-095878720186.jpeg


Next I took a large onion and cut it up.

C35E2D77-982D-4E75-A904-BD1948E7E1B7.jpeg


I put that in the good ol' Kitchen Miracle Plus.

33AB38B1-AEB0-4B3D-B836-C35E3B3432DA.jpeg


About 20 cranks later I have this.

09433D0B-B0BB-4A77-B1EB-723AA9CE9689.jpeg


I also chopped up a few Jalapenos and baby carrots and some spices and mixed everything together.

61B6AFD9-550F-4104-9B7B-6E5388E6931F.jpeg


8634593F-8912-4FB8-87B5-0A02EF154E9C.jpeg


I added about 2% sea salt and mixed it up good and kneaded it and let it sit for an hour. Then I put it in a gallon jar with a vacuum fermenter cover and pumped it down.
9A7AAA09-EA71-473E-999B-FFB419117C95.jpeg


A little over half a gallon of what should be Kohlrabi Kraut in a week or two.

I better post this before it becomes old news. We had 2+ inches of rain last week and one of my cabbage heads exploded open so I thought I better use it.

81F77B0A-D931-4A95-9736-128C002EBC09.jpeg


Got going on chopping it up and added in those rocotos I picked the other day.

051ED7F4-F169-48BD-9DDC-02B8CACD21B4.jpeg


I went out and picked one of the smaller kohlrabi and pealed it.

F1B28B0C-A77C-4809-BE5D-3684B7CCCAC1.jpeg


I ran the kohlrabi through the shredder.

004D7697-1035-4220-AE75-AF34565A7F8A.jpeg


Then I shredded about a half pound of carrots.

21D5829D-194A-4AF1-9BED-8C77D3520F86.jpeg


I threw in about 4 tablespoons of my freeze dried onion powder(from 2017) and some dressing and about a tablespoon of black pepper and mixed it all up real good.

E3376C2C-5CEF-4678-BE6E-87451988F2AA.jpeg


I ended up with a little over 2 quarts(I had to eat a pile of it immediately), I have previously found that by vacuum sealing regular slaw and keeping in the refrigerator it keeps for 2 weeks or more without degrading.

This stuff is SUPER good!

Looks good SB! Gotta say, I've never seen a cabbage explode like that. That's crazy!

I have that happen to one or two every year. Probably because I keep my Cabbage, kohlrabi, cauliflower and the like fairly wet and fairly heavily fertilized, so when it rains and super soaks them they just seem to pop! I had two of the Kossak Kohlrabi split recently also.

Well, one jar of the Kohl(rabi) Slaw is already gone.

And this is my last jar of Pickled PeppaPeach peppers.

77692DA7-6B17-4D5A-82B7-1A5693EF7D0E.jpeg


I finally picked that last pineapple today, some of it will be in my smoothie in the morning.

2097A497-482A-487E-A1D6-EBF0338D2AB6.jpeg


And along with that, since it is Strawberry season here, I will add some awesome Plant City strawberries.

I sampled my Kohlrabi Kraut today and its not bad but I'm going to let it go a few more days and then put it in jars and forget it in the refrigerator for a while to age. I did that with my somewhat bland tasting sauerkraut and now the stuff is just plain awesome!

I cooked up another Kossak Kohlrabi yesterday. Supposed to be a somewhat of a hashbrown potato replacement. Loosely based on a recipe in "All Recipes". Note: Picture heavy.
First fry up some bacon nice and crispy(I used 3/4 pound).

59247EF9-C380-48E9-8005-06094A21A9BC.jpeg


Get the Kitchen Miracle Plus ready for action.

65E5461C-F661-46DB-AE7A-1B7A3D3F6424.jpeg


Take a big onion.

9315DCD0-380B-4FCC-B01A-D964CF5FF510.jpeg


Cut it into chunks.

DCD108A4-385F-4F65-86B0-8A180BCECD79.jpeg


About 25 cranks later.

AF890B7C-D9E6-44D8-A5B2-C287C7CBD86B.jpeg


Take a bunch of jalapenos.

1C962FDD-A7C2-4FE2-B82A-6D513FA97A80.jpeg


Remove seeds and placenta and cut up.

45D39818-78D8-47B0-829B-2F2D5EA49370.jpeg


Again, 25 to 30 cranks and perfectly chopped.

0C12B1B3-36C2-4050-8333-AD56A1F125D1.jpeg


Do not throw away the placentas, scrape the seeds off and put them in the freezer for a later project.

B36288C0-CBE8-4C9D-A787-6359ED4F41E4.jpeg


Now throw the onions and peppers in the bacon grease and caramelize them.

54E7C92F-7562-4723-AB7A-6E5B43CA9C40.jpeg


Now take the peeled kohlrabi.

C3BD4B78-E5A4-41FC-971D-66E23F86BABC.jpeg


Run it through the shredder.

6DF32A42-78FC-420A-8CC1-F18584C257B2.jpeg


When the onions and peppers are caramelized add the bacon back in plus some black pepper and a good splash of olive oil.

07550046-3858-4A7B-B731-A9C62C899A53.jpeg


Now, also add in the shredded kohlrabi and cook and fold over until the kohlrabi is somewhat tender.

55519947-A94B-44C9-8566-7320F3FE91ED.jpeg


Now, near the end of the cook, I added in about a cup of shredded parmesan cheese. Fold it around until it's mixed up good. It looks like this.

E37B0587-451B-4B65-BB7C-1E78D55B937C.jpeg


I divided it up into 8 ounce portions in my recycled Jimmy Dean Breakfast bowls.

56008B14-5755-4AE1-A82F-C56827DD4926.jpeg


Curses.....foiled again!
Well, I covered the bowls with foil and put them in the freezer.

D995088F-2554-49B6-A4C7-3906DCC53C0C.jpeg


Now I can pull one out and reheat it along with a couple of eggs for a hearty breakfast(or any other meal).

OK, today was the "actual" breakfast test of the "Hash-Rabi"! 🍳 This one had been kept in the refrigerator so I didn't have to thaw it.

A835329C-2A15-45C4-884F-ABBAD1BB79CF.jpeg


I flipped it over into a small pan on medium heat.

2168AF63-D284-406E-9017-B3D1719B566A.jpeg


While that was heating up I whisked two eggs to add to it.

B9E8E400-5ED7-48F8-8007-239FEF86106D.jpeg


I heated the Hash-Rabi until it was just starting to brown and was heated all the way through.

D1B6BFA1-1B2B-4430-A5A5-12847F444786.jpeg


Now I poured in the whisked eggs. When they were partially cooked I started folding it over until the eggs were thoroughly cooked.(I absolutely hate runny eggs)

5D67409C-FDE5-4EA2-9D96-BF8780790372.jpeg


Tip it out onto the plate.

C63285D5-3E3A-431A-BA61-908E504E7F6A.jpeg


This is SUPER GOOD!

I have two Kossak Kohlrabi bulbs left to process. I wonder what comes next. πŸ€” πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I made a big stock pot of soup this morning and divided it up into 12 meals. Ingredients were 4 chicken breasts cut up, 3 pounds potatoes, 1 pound carrots, 1 celery bunch, 2 cans of spiced lima beans, 1 quart of my canned green beans, 1 of my medium sized cabbages, 1 can of corn, 1 can of sweet peas, 1 large onion, 3/4 pound of egg noodles, some mushrooms, and 2 heaping tablespoons of my hotter jalapeno powder.

I finally processed the last head of Kossak Kohlrabi this morning. I made a cream of kohlrabi soup. Two pounds of kohlrabi, one large onion(450g), about a pound of jalapenos, four tablespoons of garlic, two cups of vegetable stock, and three cups of milk. I simmered it until the kohlrabi was tender and then blended it up.

94CFD886-4D71-4C7E-AAAF-AACD86098118.jpeg


I ended up with seven pints but ate one for lunch, pretty tasty. Anyway, five for the freezer and one for my neighbor.

CF7D1E9B-80B5-43AD-A32A-4B60E614D57B.jpeg


Next will be to finish off the cabbage.
