Cooking DIYs

So I've been a busy bee this morning, on account of someone kicking me until I woke up and fed him. It's not as bad as it sounds, I'm almost used to it. Anyway, I roasted a pan of tomatoes, baked another batch of savory muffins, and cut up a pineapple. Along the way, I also started pineapple vinegar from this recipe, and ground my own almond meal for the muffins.

All of my pineapple scraps did not fit into the glass container I was going to use, so I had to use a plastic mayonnaise jar I had instead. And, while I know I have a package of cheesecloth somewhere, I couldn't find it when I actually needed it, but read that a coffee filter will work as a substitute:

Into a sieve it went:

Leaving the fine meal:

This was a new recipe, "24-hour omelet" from an American's Test Kitchen cookbook. It's not actually an omelet; it's buttered bread, cheese, eggs and seasoning (onion counts as seasoning, right?), soaked for 8-36 hours and then thrown into the oven. The before pictures:

And the finished project:

It got the kids' seal of approval this morning, but let's see if they finish it as leftovers.
