He just wants someone to shake his corks, is that too much to ask??
Hello!

Look at this thread:

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3533835

Now look at the thread you're in - the thread you're in is empty...

That other thread isn't!

Now is your time to shine, you goddamn diamond in the rough - dazzle us with your camera abilities - photograph your food in odd settings, perfect lighting, being eaten by LEGO people, just show us what it is that you have done!

People will then either ridicule you or they will compliment you, but one thing is sure - you will inspire many food-porn motivated foodgasms around the world.

But.. rules!

  1. You cannot, ever, claim that your camera cannot capture red - ever...
  2. Salsa chicken is not a thing that exists, and shall be trolled into the ground if it should ever appear
  3. You are not, ever, allowed to post pictures of chicken and cheese in the same frame (if it is in sandwich form)
  4. A hamburger is not a sandwich
  5. You cannot post pictures of food that are based off onion soup mix
  6. You are not allowed to mention onion soup mix
  7. Whenever Gravity posts, the first post thereafter should be a post complimenting him on his camera, never his food
  8. You are allowed to give all the constructive criticism that you want to give, but be prepared to be challenged
  9. You can ask any question you want (except about onion soup mix or salsa chicken or chicken cheese sandwiches)
  10. Pictures are a plus, but not a must, however, do not expect people to think that you're awesome without the picture
  11. Quick and dirty with crappy cell phone pictures are ok
  12. Nicely lit pictures are ok too
  13. Be ready to answer questions - because people will want to copy you
  14. Remember that the people in this thread means well. But most are socially challenged and are not always able to use their inside voice before putting fingers to the keyboard, if you take offense to this, it is you who are in the wrong.

The rules are there for your own protection.

Now post!

Edit: I should mention that by posting herein, you agree to the rules, including that a Hamburger is not a sandwich.

My wife got 2gallons of free goat's milk, so I made chevre!

It tastes great (I just added a little salt and fresh rosemary) I think I drained it for a bit too long though, but luckily I have enough goat's milk left over to try again.

Not drained too long, cooked too hot. Heat is how you drive moisture out of the curd, even pressing really mostly just solidifies things. Looks nice with the herbs though.

Basically it's a rich stew with a dumpling top, in this case a beef, oyster and Guiness stew with horseradish scone dumplings. What I've found that it's best to make the scones thin as if they puff up too much, they can be dry. Plus they're best made with suet. Aside from that, use the scone/dumpling part as a means to add fresh herbs into the mix or other flavours. It's very adaptable and good for winter.

Ypu can also do a Chicken version. We had a bunch of leftovers to go through, so my mom and I threw together some chicken, veg, mushrooms, cream, and chicken stock in a baking dish, then topped it with my favorite drop biscut recepie. It was delicious. Mild enough for mom, and i just threw on my own hot sauces on my own portions.

I don't have the minerals to leave the house on National DUI Night, so I'm getting some Thanksgiving prep done.





I doubt there are any holdouts on this in GWS, but just in case: don't buy canned cranberry sauce, making it from scratch takes about 5% more effort than opening a can and tastes 100% better.

That sounds great as well, will definitely keep that in mind!
The beef version will come first though, I have an awesome islamitic butcher around the corner with beef that is excellent for stewing...not completely sure what it is they sell, but the beef from my supermarket takes at least 4.5 hours to get near the edible stage and theirs falls apart in 1.5 hours (and is way more delicious)
I am a fan of chicken and mushroms as well, so your version will be next, thanks!

Could be a lot of things. Could be what the cow was fed, the quality of food it was fed, post butchering treatments that bulk chain butchers do (gross). I've stopped buying meat from the grocery store and started buying from local butchers at the farmers market. I buy a hundred or so bucks worth of meat and then freeze it all in my deep freeze.

To contribute, I made a sort of janky white person's stir fry last night.

Yep, that's before it went into the oven. Not very photogenic after. I had a bit too much pasta / too little sauce for the size of dish so it appears dry. I like how the cabbage stains the pasta.

Sliced red cabbage (like 1/4" - not too fine) cooked under foil in hot oven with a little oil for 30 mins, then uncovered and turned a few times for 10 mins. Then mix, add cheese and bake. Next time I'll use more sauce and some ricotta cheese.

Rurutia that cake looks amazing.

Finally found some freekeh (in Waitrose, obviously) - made pilaf with roasted veg and a shittonne of herbs, spice and lemon juice.

Recipe said pilaf serves 2-4. It did not. Not pictured: non-healthy still hungry snacks later in the evening...

Yeah it does pretty well. You don't get as visible a ring and a real bite from the smoke like you do with a brisket but it gets in nicely. Also the low and slow keeps it really juicy and tender overall.

Entirely stone-free; this was in a pouch rather than a pack, essentially ready to eat stuff that I guess has been well processed. First time I've ever seen it so I went for it even though it wasn't exactly how I'd have liked it.

Truth be told though, I didn't even realise stones in freekeh was a thing. If I do find the real stuff, I'll try and make sure it's unadulterated.

I made my first from scratch soup ever. Roasted the turkey, made stock from the carcass, and made the soup with everything fresh except for the egg noodles.



And it is edible! Actually really tasty
