Okay I am fr tired af tn. I just be cookin’! Need to go to sleep! Wowza! Today, I made pretzel buns. I also made 2 pretzels. Very good. Milk-based. Hmmm. Mmm. I caramelized onions and made Brussels sprouts with bacon and maple syrup. I made potato chips, which was basically insane. I had 1 russet potato and a bit of schmaltz. So I decided to slice the potato into thin slices with a mandolin. I fried them in schmaltz, but used like the tiniest little thing bc I wanted the smallest amount of surface area for the melted fat to spread. I was only able to fry like 4 chips at a time it was insane. Trying to keep the temperature steady on a gas stove. Impossible. But it was pretty good! I made a burger with burger sauce, cheese, caramelized onion, and pickles. I didn’t really have anything fresh. There is a little bit of chopped onion and garlic in my sauce though, technically. I shoveled a lot of heavy snow/ice today bc I don’t want to be the asshole on the block. I will be sore soon. RIP
