yeah, i'll just eat a chunk of flesh instead of a frozen pizza full of vegetables and dairy, and designed by flavor scientists specifically to give me my full $5 of titillation. yeah, i'll do that.

Next up, master your crock pot skills. Put some chicken breasts in it with a jar of salsa, then let it cook for the day while you're at work.

its most bizarre when im cooking for a bunch of people and then my dad shows up to the party and hes like "poo poo son you are fuckin this up big time, sausages should be at 134 degrees not 140, and these steaks need to have been turned to make gridmarks you noob, why the gently caress isnt your onion cut right" while everyone else thinks im a goddamn iron chef because i can heat up a piece of meat until the parasites are dead

I don't make mashed potatoes because I don't have one of those kitchen made mixer jobs. Those friggen make some creamy potatoes.

Instead I make baked Sweet Potatoes or Yams with butter and cinnamon. Never had a complaint.

look psyop i dont like you particularly much for plenty of reasons but i will give you some advice, i have not known a single person who started buying lab glass who didnt end up in trouble

sometimes it was trouble with the law, sometimes it was trouble with missing limbs, sometimes it was trouble with foreign drug cartels but its always trouble

I cook for myself. When I've had a girl, they can either follow directions (at best) or make reservations (at worst).

It's just me here, I keep it simple, to my tastes and delicious.

Whipped potatoes, meh. Give me a spud dressed right, along side a rare steak, with a good pinot noir and I'm a happy guy.

making creamy potatoes is a matter of getting the milk/potato/butter ratio right after boiling but not over boiling the potatoes it's super fuckin' easy, the pain in the rear end part is there's so many loving steps to prepping mashed potatoes. Hand peeling and hand cutting potatoes for 2, 3, 4 people and making extra for the assholes who pile it on their plate. you will spend more effort getting that poo poo ready than you will on the entire rest of the meal.

So never make your own. buy instant potatoes and be done with it.

Thats cool, but I was talking about mashed potatoes.

And, Ive found that the best mashed potatoes come out of a ricer.

You must peel potatoes slow as gently caress because it takes almost no effort to dice potatoes into cubes and boil them.
