I made butternut squash croquettes. I used the same recipe as usual with feta. I made the dough the night before and tried to use it the next day.
I tried to waffle it. FAIL!!! It didn't come off the waffle iron which is now a pain in the ass to clean. I do not know if it was because of the cold dough or if this was just not made to be waffled. I did the other half in the oven.
Sadly, I forgot to take a picture.

We had a variety of fillings. Some worked better than others. But what helped a lot was to have spacers on the rolling pin. It made rolling it out very easy.
Fillings:
I think that was about it. We cooked them on the tray with parchment. I wanted to use silpats but I cannot find them.

Presumably we used my dad's recipe?

I made real Belgium waffles. We used the recipe from King Arthur Flour with the following changes:
I made the batter the night before and left it out for an hour then refrigerated overnight. I used a bit less than 1 cup of batter which you can see was a bit low. Also, as I noted last time, the waffle maker doesn't cook perfectly evenly.
Still, they were very good. Lots of flavor and was fluffy. The yeasty flavor really shown through. You could also really taste the butter in the recipe. I would do this again as it was easy and good. Maybe with real milk and/or the right kind of yeast.

This was breakfast for house guests. I made veggies with onions and peppers on he cast iron pan and then I made eggs with soy chorizo. I heated the tortillas on the pan which gives them a nice crisp. It was eggs, peppers then topped with avocado.
It was good but pretty simple.

Even though I just had Walafels, I decided to make it again (the dough defrosts super quickly).I cooked it for 9 minutes 30 seconds which was fine. I decided to also top it with two poached eggs. (3 minutes with a simmer).
It was good. As usual! I would do this again and again with the egg. It was better than a strange yogurt sauce (though I think tzatziki is better). I also put sriracha on it.
The broken egg version is below:

I was originally just making falafel dough to freeze but I tasted some and it made me want to make a Walafel. I made two batches of dough and froze 1.5 of it for later use. The other one I cooked on the waffle iron for 7 minutes. The dough was pretty standard except I used regular (as opposed to flat-leaf) parsley. I ended up using less than entire batch since it was simply too much.
Maybe it was because this wasn't previously frozen but it was still wet. I would do 10 minutes next time but check on it.
I also made a dip out of yogurt, Sriracha and z'atar.

Meredith was out of town so I made a NY Strip Steak. I salted it and let it sit for 40 minutes. After blotting it, I followed these instructions on cooking it. I had a cast-iron pan super hot in the broiler. I did 3 minutes per side and then 4 with the oven on 500°F. While it was resting, I did shishito peppers.
I made a dip for the peppers with light mayo, olive oil, white miso, garlic powder and some of the drippings from the steak.
Honestly, this was the best cooked steak I have made but it wasn't super flavorful. Maybe it is because of how I cooked it, the meat, or the lack of added butter. But either way, I was simply not impressed. I think I am going to stop trying to make steak since I tend not to be successful.

I wanted an easy and light meal but also with things that Meredith doesn't really like since she was out of town. I made curry-roasted cauliflower (she likes roasted cauliflower but not with curry) and a ham steak. It was pretty simple and not much to it.
