i love cooking, usually a mix of fresh and frozen poo poo. i'll make lots of sandwiches like BLTs, chicken fried steak, grilled cheese, phillies or reubens. dinners are lots of ny strips and baked potatoes, chicken alfredo, stir fries or just a blue cheese salad. i used to make ribs a lot since they're so easy, but i realized i'm not that into the taste as much. the only pork i really buy is bacon, and that's almost as much for the grease as the meat itself. beef stew is really easy to make and super good. real-rear end chili is a lot harder to make but is probably the best thing i do. this is my favorite recipe on the planet, note the lack of beans and even tomatoes. it's the best possible topping on cornbread or fritos

help i can't stop making breakfast. i just made a giant skillet full of hash browns, sausage and scrambled egg i'm using for breakfast tacos, but now i'm thinking of using the leftover sausage for sausage patties. i have a green pepper that i'll cut into rings; i'll brown each side of the ring and then fry an egg in the middle. combined with a biscuit or english muffin, that's a dang good sandwich

also thinking about trying out my new black friday $7 waffle iron before i go to bed

I thought the listeria risk was from leaving it on the counter overnight. Leaving cooked rice in the fridge overnight is considered standard practice for cooking fried rice.

yeah i even leave the lid off so it gets drier

OK I get it it, I won't post any more fish.

frankly i didn't even know they farmed bluefin, or any other larger ocean fish. i thought we were still just on crawdads and tilapia, since that's all that's around here

also in your first post i thought you were potentially in japan at an illegal sale lol, but you'd have paid ten times the price

If you want to ball out on seafood, eat oysters and thereby encourage oyster farming, having more oysters in the seas filters out a lot of the ambient pollution and encourages a healthier overall biome

i can imagine they use different metrics for each type of seafood because there aren't a lot of studies or data, but that's still annoying for a standard of Worst Seafood

also yeah, all shellfish are absolutely amazing for the ocean environment

I'm the sort of person who makes big batches of stuff so I only have to cook twice a week and I've never had a problem with it.
For best results make sure to blend half of it and pour it back in, ends up super creamy despite containing exactly 0 cream.

this is a must for any potato soup. it's so good

but also add cream

Seems like a 5 ounce smash cheeseburger with minimal accoutrements and a supermarket bun could be done for less than $4, even with decent ground beef (20% fat is pretty cheap even if it's not bulk factory-ground beef).

I mean it doesn't have to be two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun does it?

it's a good price point and easily attainable. i'll start with an eight pack of burger buns and see where I end up in cost:

buns: $2
2 lbs 80/20 chuck: $7
cheese: $2
veggies: $2
random stuff i use like bacon grease or butter, seasonings, condiments, etc: $2
electricity: $1

i can't think of anything else, and at 8 burgers that's two bucks per. $4 is pretty generous for a single entree, pretty good for a whole meal for one person

anyone use packets or mixes? when i first started cooking i refused just so i could see how stuff is made, but just because of time i've shifted over to using lots of them. cornbread, gravy, taco seasoning, ranch dip powder, self rising flour, bisquik, waffle mix. i got it all now. i still cook a lot from scratch, but it's nice being able to go from zero to cornbread in like 25 minutes

Or, you can brown the sausage, add flour to the drippings and saute a few minutes before gradually stirring in milk until it's at the thickness you want (I like wallpaper paste).

Yep. I brown the sausage and remove it from the pan. Usually theres not enough drippings, so I add a tablespoon of bacon grease and flour to make the roux. I dont cook that though, if you burn the flour it will turn out brown. Add the milk and bring to a boil, then its ready. Add salt and a fuckton of black pepper.

the most righteous dinner ticket i ever cooked in 7 years on the line was a new york strip for guy who was in town to get open heart surgery in 2 days and requested no salt or seasoning of any kind whatsoever, but to baste that motherfucker in all the butter we had.


with the right kind of ears you could hear strains of the star spangled motherfuckin' banner wafting back through the flow hood as that gorgeous bitch swam in the saute pan.

I do strips in my cast iron, basted with half butter half bacon grease with garlic and black pepper. When it's done I scrape the skillet and use the drippings on a baked potato.
