Just made one of the most successful dishes of my dad career. Catfish fillets w/ fresh dill, thyme, lemon. So good.
@jmjm yes! i'm finally learning! (especially dishes that take <30min to prepare and <10min to clean up.)
@phooky I just learned how to slow-cook a ham hock in a pot of collards and peas. The hock itself is gross, but the food it touches becomes delicious.
@jmjm does the hock become delicious over time? I hate wasting meat! (I completely agree that pork is best at making the things around it amazing, which is probably why I like mapo tofu so much.)
@phooky
The slow cooked hock slowly dissolves into the stew, leaving some disgusting skin and ankle bones. But everything else becomes magic.
@phooky cooking is a joy!
