I absolutely love the creativity that it takes to make store bought prepared items and turn them into something good
Here we call it shuzh them up. Give mediocre ingredients the boost they need to be good.
Personally I consider that a high end skill. You taste it, know what's not quite right and how to fix it

Had a nice pork chop, some fondant potatoes, with a creamy black pepper sauce.
Sometimes food that is fifty shades of brown can be quite tasty!
By the way, this was for the May challenge on cheftalk.com, the theme is pork.

Shucks, I feel a little bit of a fraud and can’t take any credit for creativity. In Japan charshu and an egg are the bare minimum in a bowl of ramen.
I’ll take a couple of initiative points though lol.

Lunch was my pot of experiment Basmati rice for that thread.
So how was it? Too hard? Too soft? Just right? Separate grains?
That’s their “small” beer - 24oz.

Due to annoying toddler boomer behaviour (my parents) I completely ran out of steam. Like someone had completely pulled the plug!
As a result I made a lot of a type thermador sauce and we ordered takeaway!
Unreduced sauce. Tastes ‘amazeballs’ so a fair amount was eaten by all taste tasting with a crusty loaf!
The food processor parmesan disc, a valuable tool for those of us with tendinitis or other hand issues, the processor made it the painless work of seconds, worth a share

Brunch quiche with sausage, bacon, mushrooms, onion, red bell pepper, spinach, gouda, gruyere, cheddar, and goat cheese. Quite good!
Never came across chashu... is it a bean curd product? I know I could look it up...

It was just right. Separate grains and done. CookieMonster posted a method in the Basmati thread about weighing the water and rice opposed to volumes like all I've ever heard. I'll be trying that method next go around I cook rice.
