Pickled with 1/2 cup of white sugar, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, turmeric, cinnamon, and garlic powder.

Brought all ingredients to a boil, added the jalapeños for 5-6 mins. Took out and mixed it with the pineapple chunks. Continued to reduce the pickle mix for another 6-7 mins.

Sweet but spicy, this batch fresh jalapeños were some spicy ones.

Only thing I added differently was cinnamon. Pretty tasty, but since my jalapenos came straight off the vine, they were still very spicy, not complaining, love the heat and the sweetness of it all.

Made Prime NY Strip the night before, wasn’t feeling well today and wanted something smooth on the throat, but also wanted that steak again, so why not a ramen packet and steak. Was actually really good

Wife planned to get out for a bit and watch DWP2. I decided to make her a surprise dinner for when she got home. I was also watching the kiddo. Hope I did well here.

Romaine Wedge Salad:

Located in Phoenix, AZ. Weather here is 100F currently, but overnight lows get to the low 70’s

Captains log: Need log cheese in crust. First attempt at shredded cheese in crust unsuccessful, but leave crust internally with a nice cheese flavor. Attempt #2 will use a solid cheese block and try a better dough sealing technique when rolling crust dough over the cheese. Still a tasty pie.

Ciabatta bread, fresh avocado spread (avocados, mayo, mustard, lemon juice, garlic salt, pepper) roma tomatoes, red bell peppers, turkey, and hand shredded cheddar cheese. Built sandwich and baked in oven at 350F for 10 mins.

Sides: hummus and sugar snap peas (trying my best to be an adult), a side of whoops a bag of Cheetos opened and fell on my plate. Claussen pickles.
