Food from a day? :confused

I made an Indian cauliflower dish that I make all the time, and it's usually ok, but this time it turned out fucking horrible for no reason I can think of. The only thing I changed was that I took the oil down from five tablespoons to two, because I thought it was too oily before.
It was completely bleh :( |
I've come to the conclusion that scalloped potatoes are still gross.
|
My mother in law makes a dish she calls "hobo potatoes" which, to the best of my knowledge, just involve sliced potatoes and foil. Maybe you should try that.
Tonight I drowned my spelling-bee sorrows in barbecue sauce. Dynamite! |
I'm not eating it right now, but I dreamed I ate it:
Currywurst and pommes frites in a folded paper cone. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I want some bad. They say that, if nothing else, you can remember tastes and smells from when you were very young. Boy, do I ever. |
Sounds great
|
I don't know about the currywurst but pommes frites sound okay. They're best right off the cart.
I'm eating some chex mix of my own invention. I hate the squiggly stick things and the rye chips in chex mix, so I just made one that's all chex with some m&ms and peanuts in it. I forgot to get pretzels for it :( |
I made apple crisp today because I had to find some use for the 60+ lbs of apples we picked at the orchard. Last time I followed a recipe and it sucked, so this time I went back to my own thing and it turned out fucking awesome.
|
I'm just about to eat eggs and bacon for dinner. Nothing else in the house but eggs and bacon - both of which have a fair chance of being off.

Just had a small amount of german chocolate ice cream from BR!

All I had to eat tonight was a single serving of mashed potatoes and a couple lunchmeat slices of turkey.

sloppy joes and leftover candy

Goofing around in the kitchen and came up with a cinnamon roll cookie. It's all kinds of kickass but they're the damnedest things to cook. In for 7 minutes, underdone. In for 7 minutes 30 seconds, underdone. In for 8 minutes, burned. :( :thefuck
|
I tried making gluten free biscuits this morning. They ended up looking more like cookies. And they were terrible.
|
I like my cookies slightly underdone. Yum.
|
Got a new cookbook for French macaroons (as opposed to the coconut-and-condensed-milk blobs that haunt Passover). I love macaroons, but they're insanely effort-intensive and they take an entire day to make, once you factor in the whipping and the piping and the drying and the baking and the setting and the filling. So I've got the stuff to make pistachio ones, but I haven't gotten to it yet because I haven't had an entire day to spend on one batch of cookies.
I'd like to make eggnog ones, too, but my eggnog flavoring oil is 2 years old and I've got to find some new. |
Made it all mydamnself, too, from scratch. Plus two pies, one sweet potato and one pumpkin. |
As a poor Ethiopian child I can't help but feel jealousy and anger toward your Thanksgiving rituals of excess and gluttony!
Fuck you Americans, all I ate today were my boogers |
I had nothing because although my sister said she would make the main course without gluten, she used cream of mushroom on the roast. And everything else she made had gluten. So I ate absolutely nothing. Who the fuck makes a roast on thanksgiving over turkey anyways? Savages, that's who.
|
Dang, that looks like it's from a magazine. :xmas1
Did you brine the turkey? I finally found a stuffing recipe that works. I don't like sage in most dishes, but sage stuffing is delicious. |
And kitsa, that truly does look like it was from a magazine. Reason number 9 that I wish you were my mother.
|
Thanks. I didn't brine the turkey because one year (under the influence of chef Michael Ruhlman, whom I'd just heard speak a week or so before), I brined it and forgot what that would do to the gravy. The resulting salt-sludge turned me off brining for the rest of my life. The turkey was ok...no better, no worse. I went back to rubbing the cavity with kosher salt and stuffing it with mirepoix and it turns out ok often enough to stick with.
Last year I went nuts and made a really ridiculously involved chestnut stuffing that tasted great but took forever. I never want to roast and peel chestnuts again. This year I simplified it, got precooked vacuum-packed chestnuts, and it turned out better. Here's exactly how- -Buy one box of stove top turkey dressing and one box of sage dressing. -Make according to directions, but instead of water use chicken broth. Just use both boxes of dressing dumped in together. -While you're waiting for the broth to boil, saute diced celery and onions with chopped roasted chestnuts in butter until they're softened and golden-brown on the edges. - When the stuffing is at the "take it off the heat and put a lid on it to steam it" phase, stir in the celery, onions and chestnuts until they're well-incorporated in the rest of it. Put it in a greased casserole dish and bake under foil for the last 45 minutes the turkey is baking. If it looks dry, add more chicken broth. To crisp it up, take the foil off and raise the oven temp for a few minutes. Thank you for the compliments. I could have done a tablecloth and nice dinnerware, but my kid would have had it all ruined in minutes and I didn't need that sort of aggravation. |
The main reason I use a brine is because I cook such a large bird (up to 20lbs) that it would be dry if I didn't.
I also add a bunch of whole black pepper, ginger, and allspice to the brine and after about 24 hours it really soaks through the whole bird and adds a lot of flavor. For gravy I cook the giblets in a skillet, then chop them super fine and add chicken broth and flour. |
Looks amazing, but I still can't help but think that chicken tastes way better than turkey.
|
Turkey can taste kind of gamey sometimes, but there's room in my world for both.
|
anybody else think dark meat is fucking gross? I can't stand it :x
|
Eat a dick. Turkey legs are the god's meat.
|
Anything but dark meat is like trying to eat clumps of sawdust.

A bunch of leftover chicken noodles followed by 1 cookie for dessert

Once a year at a pre-appointed time, I go to an isolated parking lot and pay $18 for a crate of real, actually-have-flavor-to-them Florida oranges off the back of a truck.
Apart from the fear that a coral snake is snuggled around one of them, they're incredible. |
Sara Lee "mince" pie. I think most "mincemeat" has contained little or no meat for a very long time. This is like a dark spicy apple raisin thing. It's ok I guess. I like it better than the English mince pies I've had because there are no mystery hard chunks or fig newtony seeds.
|
An avocado with a little pepper and lemon.
|
Just got back from a mate's place, where he made me some kind of garlic, ginger, tofu and noodle soup thing. It was delicious as.

I've gotten more into intense couponing while grocery shopping lately. Not like the insufferable ones on TV who dumpster dive for coupons and then take 40 carts to the checkout, but more in that direction than the occasional 10 cents off for something. Tomorrow I'm going to try and do about $120 in food for less than $25. Pretty sure I can if everything works out. The other day I managed 7 tubes of toothpaste and 7 toothbrushes for 28 cents, so it can happen.
Since it's a hobby I've managed to find that combines math, food and shopping for food, and it regularly scores me free shit, I'm fairly happy with it. |
Jalapeno chicken from new grand buffet. It's not going over well with my sensitive asshole. My response...
It's not funny :tear |

horrible, horrible curry. Going to have to go back to making my own, which I hate to do because it stinks up the house :(
|

I also had a horrible curry yesterday. It was just spicy tomato sauce with boiled chicken (the off-cuts) thrown in. Really revolting. I paid $14 for it and nearly threw it back in their faces. Lucky for them I was starving. Right now I am eating spaghetti. |
This is actually better than shoplifting because in some instances the stores actually pay you to take the stuff off their hands. It just takes a lot of work to figure out where you can accomplish that. If you don't want to keep the item yourself, which I guess you wouldn't, being a communist and all, you could always donate it to the needy and count the footwork as part of the donation.
For example, I got this for twenty-eight cents, which is...what, about the same in AUD? There are also coupons this week that would enable you to get a glucometer for $1 (sending them to a free clinic) and various hygiene products for nothing or nearly nothing. I've had dental floss that cost less than the coupon for it, resulting in an "overage" I could use to pay for other things. There's a seasonings packet that's marked 77 cents, if you print out the dollar coupon and buy several of them there's a dollar in overage you can spend on something else right there. It's effort-intensive, but it's also nice to walk off with a full cart of groceries for less than 20 bucks. |
I was only kidding, I don't mean to bag out coupons. Sounds like you've gotten some good deals.
I am sort of expecting you to pose with your toothpaste in one hand and a wad of hundred dollar bills in the other to show how gangster you are, though. |
Traditionally, my presence in a photo automatically ungangsters it. :/

I had a Big Carl combo at Carl JR it sucks that they took long to copy Mcdonald's Big Mac and out of Big Mac, whopper and a Big Carl i would obviously go for Big Carl :)

|
Cheese sandwiches.

Yodel.

Skinny cow candy. It's not half bad. It's like a Turtle but with rice krispies instead of pecans.
|
pancakes
|
So I made this biscuit batter stuff, but it is far too sugary to bake, so I'm just eating it straight from the bowl. It's just butter, sugar, sweetened condensed milk and some flour.
It's hurting my chest though, and I'm not sure I can finish it without my heart giving out. |
Anyone have any quick and easy recipes for apple pie that they would like to share?
I saw a good one where you just mix flour, sugar and eggs in a bowl, then dump a sliced apple in there and bake it, but I can't remember the ingredient measurements. |
I make apple crumble because I hate pie crust
|
i got these really good burritos from some mexican food place
the salsa is weird though. one of them tastes like an indian chutney w/ mint sauce mixedin and the other one is all sweet chipotle flavored. its good as hell though |
Spicy rice with chicken, pepperoni, Chorizo slices and chunks with a creole base
|
Right now I'm eating good ol' Raisin Bran, but tonight I'll hopefully make something out of this:
|
Black beans with grilled red bell peppers, onions and hot sauce
|
frijoles charros so delicious
|
Hot cheetos a Kit Kat and a Chocodile. Chocodiles suck dix.
|
Tea and Popsicles :(
|
I am sneaking jelly beans in the computer commons at my school.
|
My wife and I went gluten free. It's not that hard actually and most of the foods are GMO free as well. :(
Anyways, I feel better and I've been cutting back on meds to see if it's working. So far so good. :eek |
Duzzat mean your bones and joints are better? :eek
|
50 percent less pain :eek
|
FASCINATING :EEK

Is it possible to buy an entire bag of just the little brown toast slices in Party Mix?
|
yes

maybe you should eat an entire bag of dicks instead |
at least dicks don't break your teeth (:supermanjoke)
pizza hut thin crust veggie pizza. |
I scrambled some eggs with one turkey meatball and some hot sauce and put that on a hamburger bun because I'm pretty poor these days :(
|
had a cheese danish for breakfast
|
Curried tofu (pretty fucking good- has scrambled egg texture without eggy taste) and stir fried bell peppers/onions/bok choy in corn tortillas
|
had a chilli dog and a strawberry shake from weinerschnitzel
|
Arugula salad with pear slices and warm red quinoa, topped with homemade dijon vinaigrette ( 2 tsp dijon, 1 tsp balsamic, 1 tsp red wine, 1 tsp honey or agave, 1 tsp water), fresh fruit on the side. The dressing and the pear tone the arugula way down.
It was from a recipe in the Happy Herbivore Everyday cookbook, out of which I've tried 7 meals with no duds so far. |
RIBS.
FOUR RACKS. AND CORN. |
I went to a Strawberry Festival west of here. There were strawberry burritos, strawberry cannoli, strawberry salsa, strawberry bbq sauce, deep fried strawberries, all manner of strawberry pastries, strawberry drinks, etc etc etc.
I didn't get any of the strawberry stuff because I went one year and saw behind a food tent that they were just cracking open store boxes of berries and throwing them right in the food without washing them, and that freaked me right the hell out. I almost got a donut but then I saw they were like red velvet cake and that's got an entire bottle of red food color in it so I didn't do that either :( |
maaaaaaaaaaan red's good for you
|
Tried Kashi's Mayan Pasta Bake. It was ok. It was a fried plantain and some pumpkin seeds on top of a sort of casserole of polenta, quinoa, black beans, sweet potato and enchilada sauce. It tasted better than it looked; frozen stuff always looks like a train wreck compared to what's on the box.
|
im surprised that tasted good
im more surprised that you saw that list of ingredients and thought it sounded good together :O |
When you cut stuff out of your diet you'd be surprised at what starts sounding good. If you spice vegan stuff right, it's pretty good, pretty complex. Pretty much the only flavors meat has going for it are...what, salt and fat, basically.
And I was mistaken about the name- it was Mayan Harvest Bake. The plaintains had a golden-brown coating and it looked, at first glance, like chicken on a bed of rice. |
"salt and fat, basically."
but those are basically the only good flavors |
I CONCUR
FAT IS AN EXCELLENT VECTOR FOR FLAVOR |
Eh, I just had to take a whole class on the neurological perception of "yumminess" based on caloric density of foods because biologically we're lazy fucks who want the biggest bang for our buck.
Fat is 4,000 calories a pound, pretty much, regardless of type. Salad greens are 100 calories a pound. |
I DONT THINK THATS WHAT MAKES FAT delicious
|
Then enlighten me please
|
If that was true, 20 veggie burgers would be delicious
But I would rather eat some ham. |
Not so, because eating 20 veggie burgers would require effort, and what we want is least effort for most reward.
|
exactly, the most flavor per pound
fat |
Then a stick of butter or a bowl of mayonnaise would sound amazing.
|
There's a lot of fats out there and there's not just fat in those.
Those are gross. |
but a stick uf butter can becomecookies and a bowl of mayonaisse can become some kind of salad
also fat is delicious because all of those little animals scurry around eating their favorite foods and save the best parts for later, which is what we're eating ;) |
or you could look at it as getting your nutrients secondhand
thirdhand if they feed the livestock animal meal |
the animals cooked u a treat inside of their bodies and now you enjoy it or else >:
|
I'm ok, but you go ahead.
Yesterday I watched that Hutterite show on NatGeo and they shot a cow in the face :tear |
