I never had 4 Loco. I have, however, had a knockoff 4 Loco and honest to goodness "store brand" malt liquor while riding in a former school bus with strobe lights and a ridiculous stereo system being driven by a former gay porn star.

...It was an interesting couple of months away from my wife while I was working out of state last fall. I am in no way a baller. Also, PBR is a fine dirt beer.

I have one or two nice stainless pieces now too, but the cast iron is still the go-to.
Never heard of Imus and Gin or whatever it was that beer was, but I unironically like PBR as well as good beer and I don't think it's because I'm a shithead.

no you're probably normal.

I like PBR and good beer; I also like stainless and cast iron. they just all have their place and time and both you and I probably don't get any more smug as poo poo when drinking a decent beer vs drinking a pbr - and likewise hopefully don't crack a giant shiteating grin at how awesome we are for cooking in cast iron when all the plebs are out there using teflon

We did a blind taste test of cheap beers (PBR, HighLife, Bud, Natty Bo, Coors) and HL was the clear winner. It has a much cleaner finish then the rest and actually has some flavor to it. We did also note it is the fizzyest, as fits it's claim to be the champaign of beers.

Growing up in SoCal we always drank either Lucky Lager or Stater Brothers beer. The Stater Brothers was the best because it was just a brown can that said "Beer", like their brown bags that said "Dog Food" and brown label jars that said "Pickles" with a little blue ribbon. It was on a price level with Shasta soda.

My lovely beer of choice in college was Cool Colt 45 for a while. It was a mint flavored malt liquor, and it was as awful as you'd imagine. The only thing it had going for it was a market near my apartment that didn't ID and sold 40s for $.79. When malt liquor is cheaper than soda, it's a no brainer.

I rather liked the Innis and Gunn rum cask aged stuff that showed up in Vegas this year. It wasn't a must-have-every-day beer or anything, but quite pleasant and paired well with the food. I'm mystified why they decided to bottle in clear glass, though. It makes me afraid to buy it after maybe a month.

I'm not sure this is an apt comparison, since champagne - especially higher-end champagne - spends a significant time on lees in the bottle, which results in smaller bubbles and more silky/less explosive carbonation compared to force-carbonated or less-aged alternatives like cava, prosecco, etc. I'd expect the Champagne of Beers to seem less carbonated than its similarly-budgeted cohorts.

Often literally.

Cast iron is great for certain things, mostly either low-movement situations where density is important (frying) or high-heat situations where you want good release with a minimum of non-inherent oil (browning chicken or other meat (but mostly chicken, as the skin will adhere to SS with no oil, be greasy with any extra oil, and needs heat higher than is wise for nonstick) as a "step one"). Bacon goes on a sheet in the oven, eggs or fried potatoes or veggies go in nonstick, anything with significant liquid goes in a pot.

I have a cast iron skillet big enough to stand in for my non-existent griddle, too, so pancakes and flatbreads also go on it. But its definitely not the most-used vessel in my kitchen.

I never had a cast iron because I only ever have prole glasstop stoves and I think about the rough cast iron scraping on the glass and it's nail on chalkboard in my mind. But I console myself by pouring some juice from the last kimchi into the new kimchi and coming back to see big fat rear end gas bubbles forming in just a couple hours. Owns.

I do use my two cast iron pans for almost everything as they are really really non stick and having to hand wash them reduces the temptation to clutter up the sink as I am lazy as poo poo.

I have some cheaper allclad pans but they both are warped from someone (not me) taking them off the burner and sticking them under cold water. I assume there is no way to correct this?

Shut up, my favorite andouille sausage brand is made with chicken. I like being able to eat a couple of links at once without my heart thudding to a dead stop as it does with the pork stuff.

But generally, yeah, chicken sausages are sadface.

Is it Aidell's? Because their chicken sausages actually are nice and greasy and taste close enough to pork.

I bought a bunch of Trader Joe's chicken sausages thinking it would be the same, but after I cook with them there's less oil in my pan than when I started :smith:

In college we used to drink this poo poo called National Bohemian. 5 bucks a case at the beer distributor in Philly. (granted, this was 20 years ago)

Ug, just googled it, and you can still buy it. It's a Baltimore company.

Boiled Calf's Head (without the Skin).

877. Ingredients. - Calf's Head, water, a little salt, 4 tablespoonfuls of melted butter, 1 tablespoonful of minced parsley, pepper and salt to taste, 1 tablespoonful of lemon-juice.
Mode. - After the head has been thoroughly cleaned, and the brains removed, soak it in warm water to blanch it. Lay the brains also into warm water to soak, and let them remain for about an hour. Put the head into a stewpan, with sufficient cold water to cover it, and when it boils, add a little salt; take off every particle of scum as it rises, and boil the head until perfectly tender. Boil the brains, chop them, and mix with them melted butter, minced parsley, pepper, salt, and lemon-juice in the above proportion. Take up the head, skin the tongue, and put it on a small dish with the brains round it. Have ready some parsley and butter, smother the head with it, and the remainder send to the table in a tureen. Bacon, ham, pickled pork, or a pig's cheek, are indispensable with a calf's head. The brains are sometimes chopped with hard-boiled eggs, and mixed with a little Bechamel or white sauce.
Time. - From 1 1/2 to 2 1/4 hours.
Average cost, according to the season, from 3s to 5s.
Sufficient for 6 or 7 persons.
Seasonable from March to October.
Note. - The liquor in which the head was boiled should be saved: it makes excellent soup, and will be found a nice addition to gravies, &c. Half a calf's head is as frequently served as a whole one, it being a more convenient-sized joint for a small family. It is cooked in the same manner, and served with the same sauces, as in the preceding recipe.

aaauururghghhh what the heck. I tried making chawanmushi with shrimp and mushroom (not for the custard challenge though) and ended up eating the shrimp and mushroom out of a bowl by hand because I hosed up the custard so spectacularly.

I steamed egg gently stirred with homemade stock in a small cereal-type bowl covered with plastic wrap in a pot with an inch or two of simmering water. It wouldn't set for half an hour even though the recipe I used said it would be 15-20 minutes. And when it finally stopped sloshing and started jiggling at about 35 minutes of steaming, I opened it up and it was gritty, pus-y, and dreadful looking inside. :smith: what did I do wrong?

man, I cooked a dish tonight that was maybe the best thing I've made in like 6 months. I really spent a couple hours brainstorming and prepping the components, and the result was pretty awesome, and completely 'me' as far as cooking goes, which I don't feel happens that often for whatever reason. </livejournal>

I got some black cod, two smallish portions, rubbed them with soft butter, then rolled them in a herbed panko

peeled and cored some parsnips, simmered them in chicken stock, then pureed them, added a bit of butter and heavy cream, and passed through a tamis to get a really silky texture sauce

got some baby portabella mushrooms, quartered them and cooked them down in their own juices with a bit of butter and pepper, then after they'd browned a little, threw in a knob of truffle butter for depth

there were a bunch of really good tasting cherry tomatoes at the market, so I cut a slit in them, blanched them and slipped their skins off, then tossed and refrigerated with some sherry vinegar, salt pepper and olive oil.

then I pan fried the cod, finished in the oven, put the parsnip puree down on the plate, then cod, sprinkled mushrooms around, topped with cherry tomatoes, and sprinkled with flaked salt

poo poo was really good
