secret kitchen hipster

ill admit it.  last night i cooked a meal that included brussels sprouts, bacon, kale, and short ribs.  and i took pics of it.  i didn't use my iphone and instagram to immediately post them online and i wasnt wearing my skinny jeans, chuck taylor sneaks, ironic flannel over an animal print tee, and oversized glasses while listening to some unknown unsigned unpopular band on vinyl or a cassette tape. 

so no need to fear.  im only slowly converting to a food hipster.  not in my everyday life.

its ok to be jealous.  you can come for dinner and i'll make more roasted sprouts with thinly sliced [cos i froze it a week ago and awesome knives from momma] bacon

kale chips

on a plate

giant size.  and thats parm not bugs.

and my god.  shortribs.  in a semi-galbi style.  but i was impatient and simmered them on the stove for an hour instead of in the crockpot for 6 hours.  so no the fat didnt melt away and the sinew right around the bone was a little tough.  and yes it was messy as shit to eat.  and half of it was fat and bone.  but my god was it delicious.  a little soy, some sesame oil, vinegar, kecap manis, and some sriracha.
