Salmon Poached in Uranium-235

[pauamma]

Fillet salmon and seal in a plastic bag. Place in the coolant fluid of a water-cooled fission reactor. Remove control rods until the water boils. Remove fish. Do not forget to replace the control rods.

D'oh! And here I just made salmon last night, in the oven. BORING!

One day, I want to try cooking salmon sous vide (vacuum-sealed in a plastic bag!):

Science is fun! Especially when you get to eat your experiment!

(I want balsamic caramelized apples w/ bacon nao plzkthx.)

[rydra_wong]

There is a suspicious lack of recipes online for balsamic caramelized apples, w/ or w/out bacon. CLEARLY THEY ARE TRYING TO KEEP THIS FROM US.

However, there are recipes for caramelized apples that involve balsamic vinegar, and I suspect I can manage the bacon bit ... *plots experiments*

*urges you on*

My salmon had a balsamic/honey/Dijon mustard glaze. I feel certain those apples would have been a delightful addition to my meal.

Yeah, that last part is crucial. I forgot last time I made this and it was decontamination for decades. . .

Hee! *adds to recipe file*

OTOH, people are still talking of your cooking glowingly!

[livrelibre]

Ahaha! Yeah, that was pretty rad:)

Ooo. I have apples (if they haven't gone off). I have bacon. I have balsamic vinegar. I have sugar. Hmm.

[rydra_wong]

*hopes for reports*

I have apples, sugar and balsamic vinegar, but NO BACON. Obviously I will be remedying this as soon as possible.

*eyes you warily* Are you challenging my position as alpha punster?

[livrelibre]

Not! I had to work so hard for that one. *tips hat at the master*

[azurelunatic]

And if you heat a pan of oil with the reactor as a heat source as well, and cut a potato into wedges and fry, and serve that as a side dish, you'll have fission chips!

[pauamma]

*headdesk* Gah! I can't believe I missed that one! *tips notional hat* (Also, I wish those plasma physicists would hurry. How long do I have to wait for fusion cuisine?)
