Planet Tokyo

Planet Tokyo Semi Domestic Goddess ...  Felt like a cheat's potato 'hotpot'. Sliced potato 15 mins in microwave (small amount water bottom dish, lid / mostly steamed). Fried smoky bacon, browned sliced onion & sliced garlic; flour roux; 1/2 cup white wine, reduced by about 1/2; hot water (no stock, as I can't tell how much salt in bacon); 2 cups fresh cream; water from steaming, while draining potatoes over top of sauce; sliced potato & final salt & pepper; cooked off. Frozen DIY Beef Burgundy from the other day to go with this, plus crusty bread. Bit of overkill with the rich ingredients, but I like heart attack food.  It's my go to food.  Don't think I've ever craved anything healthy.  Experimental chocolate cake in slow cooker:  contains puréed raw carrots (in lieu of puréed beetroot, which I might try next time), coffee, cocoa, eggs, loads of butter, milk, vanilla essence.  To be served with chocolate ganache.  Overkill with the fresh cream in the ganache, so it may be runnier than I intended (but might thicken as it cools). I'm done.  LOL Can't believe I'm eating this, when it's going to go straight to my thighs.  Yuck.  No arguments ... yet. Can hear a doco that sounds interesting, but it's on commercial TV, so I'll give the propaganda a miss. Might do some reading. I'm in heaven, burning incense and listening to oldies:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh8nD6oqPBM Luckily the cake was terrible.  LOL I cook by throwing things together (like stews, curries etc), but cakes require specific, fiddly sets of techniques, that I could not be bothered messing with ... which affects the results. Who would have thought there's such a thing as 'bad cake'?  LOL
