I just made a huge pot of chorizo cheese dip yesterday for our "dinner club" we host once a month. I also made tacos and guacamole but I only took a pic of the queso. It was very good and we sent home a bunch with everyone too. I made it with white American cheese.

I made mooncakes for the first time yesterday, I wanted to be ready to make them for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. I've been buying them for a long time and decided to finally make them myself.

They're not as difficult as I expected, actually. Since the cakes are molded there's some nuance to getting the dough the right thickness. Making them at home gives an incredible variety of options for fillings; I did purple sweet potato, cheesecake, and matcha.

I'm planning on smoking some ribs tomorrow for the 4th. Gonna be real good lol

@SoaringFox@beehaw.org For some reason I can't see any replies to this thread from outside my instance, hopefully this post works

I like to dry rub and smoke them for about 3-4 hours, wrap for 1, then unwrap with some sauce on top until they're done. During the first part I mist them with apple cider vinegar for extra flavor and moisture.

I've been making this cucumber salad a lot recently. It's a good summer dish.

Ingredients: Cucumber Celery Pickled Red Onions (done with apple cider vinegar, garlic, cardamom pod, coriander seed, cumin seed, black peppercorn) Garlic/Rosemary infused Olive Oil Sunflower seeds Fresh cracked black pepper

Oh, hey, I have a cucumber and no plans for it. I have all those ingredients. Now that a cuke has a destiny. Thanks for the recipe.
