I've dumped sriracha sauce on my popcorn before. It was good.

i've put sriracha on pretty much everything, I think.

I forgot the sriracha on this thing, but it does have wasabi mustard.
 
Pork chop, cheese, lettuce, salsa, wasabi 'stard, and Ranchero sauce.

The day I'm tired of baby back ribs is the day I'll be tired of living life.
It is absolutely possible to turn out savoury oven baked ribs,if one cannot get to a smoker.

Process:
Foil line a baking sheet that has a wire rack.
Remove back membrane from ribs and here is the hot tip-liberally coat the ribs surface with unsalted butter.
Apply your favorite rub,which will adhere to the butter.
Pour some beef broth (or water/cider/wine) to cover bottom of baking sheet and lay ribs on the wire rack.
Cover the ribs across with foil,sealing the sides,leaving only both ends of the baking sheet open (pinch a couple sheets of foil together in the middle if not wide enough).
Bake @ 275-300F for two hours (or more,depending on the size).
Remove from oven,take off top foil and begin to sauce the ribs,three times over the next final third hour,while continuing to bake ribs uncovered.
Carefully finish under the broiler at 300F for five minutes or so,keeping a watchful eye to not burn the glaze.

I used a local maple syrup producers house BBQ sauce:


Dizzy Dust BBQ rub = Beautiful Baby Back Ribs:


On the top rib,you can see how a thin,crunchy layer of glaze forms after careful saucing and broiling,along with a couple slices of white buttered bread:

Vegetables are in full supply now and I couldn't wait until fall to make a traditional cool weather potato/leek soup.

Method:
Rough chop a small bunch of celery,three leeks,three large potatoes,one parsnip and a few cloves of chopped garlic.
Sweat them down in a large cast iron pot,with some olive oil,butter and black pepper.
Pour in 3-4 cups chicken stock,bring to a boil,reduce heat and continue to simmer for an hour,until vegetables are softened.
Remove from heat,blend soup with a hand mixer or similar tool.
Add a quarter cup of cream/milk if you choose,sprinkle in some thyme,heat the soup through.
Garnish with a dollop of sour cream,chopped leek/celery leaves,chives or bacon bits.

Fill your pot with wholesome chopped vegetables:


Easy with the hand mixer,it will splatter:


Your reward:

Very nice, I haven't made potato leek soup in quite a while but used to make it often.

Do you thicken your Gumbo with a roux or okra ?
Served on rice?

I did a classic dark roux, I really don't care for okra in my gumbo. But man, stirring the pot for an hour until the roux darkens is killer.

It is a Flat White!Just espresso and frothed milk and very popular here in New Zealand.

^ That's weird, I was in an Amsterdam café yesterday and a guy sitting next to me ordered a coffee/milk drink. He sounded like he was from Denmark though. The waitress brought him a latte and he had her take it back. He said that he wanted an espresso with milk on the side. I didn't see what he did with it after she brought it to him. I just dug into my oven toasted brie cheese sandwich with leeks and basil and ignored the whole coffee thing at the café. I do love coffee and milk.

Ahh,it is an Australian/New Zealand interpretation of espresso and steamed milk.
From what I've gathered,the Flat White has less milk than a latte and is distinguished from a cappuccino by the use of Microfoamed milk.
I've stepped into those coffee shops where they make art designs on top of your beverage with that type of velvet milk froth.
It has a thick texture,like gooey marshmallows,so I now understand why the Dane in Amsterdam may have sent the latte away.
I'm no barista but found that:
"The milk must not be overheated to the point that it is scalded, as at this point the enzymes denature and the texture no longer works"
Tense moments creating that very fine foam,heh.
Definitely puts a Starbucks latte to shame.
