ate the best queso & chips of my life last night in austin, at yellow ranger. absolutely perfect balance of salt fat acid heat, served with light, crunchy, well-seasoned wonton chips and tender-crisp florets of broccoli. gonna be thinking about this one for Awhile

best pic i have is a screen cap from a classmate's video, but - handmade corn tortilla infused with Rockstar (yes, the energy drink) so they were pink and sweet, black bean purée, broiled queso panela, a nutty pepita-based salsa, and pickled red onions

pretty incredible food day at school

here's what i ended up serving :) napa cabbage slaw w/crispy serrano & hibiscus; ciabatta bread, sliced to 4 different thicknesses (we both ended up preferring thicker/softer); sweet potato puree; braised ribs au jus

i always deglaze my pan. just splash the side with liquid and scrape it down with a rubber spatula. if i ever burn this stuff, i know to reconsider the heat level / how much attention i'm paying to my food

3ish hrs at 325°F & oven is off. meat's fork tender but not shreddy. definitely a lil dry though (i should've gone with more braising liquid & facedown at the start) so i added water, red wine vinegar and a French chef amount of butter, basted liberally, and put it back in the oven.

scared 'em :)

1.5 hrs @ 325°F. these guys are "done" (you can see so much bone; the meat has tightened) but not tender yet. turned them onto their 'fronts' & added 1c beef stock, 1/2c red wine - both bc i needed more liquid, and for taste (next post explains)

into the oven with these guys (when braising, you want liquid 1/2-2/3 up the sides of the product getting braised). lid on & i'll see u in a few hours, lil ribs

food waste saved in tonight's duxelles: 4 oz of button mushrooms and a heel of homemade bread turned to crumbs, cooked in chicken fat rendered from carcasses for stock
