How does /ck/ like their coffee? I usually just drink it black.
Like my women: brown and affordable
>>9295652
I think brown and black women can be really attractive but I have some type of mental block when I see nipples that aren't pink. I just can't get off on dark nipples.
>>9295652
I like my coffee like I like my black people.
I don't like coffee.

cold pork lo mein from 3 days ago while standing in front of an open fridge at 2:30 in the morning in a kitchen with the lights off only being illuminated by the light from the refrigerator
>>9294183
I'm not american but I feel like fried chicken and burgers are the two most emblematic foods from you abroad
Hell, KFC and fried chicken as a whole were rather rare in France until the last decade. Nuggers were common though.

Post your country's traditional breakfast. This is known as a 'full English' in Britain.
this is what we call 'meatloaf' over here in the good ol' USA. love chowing down with my broskis and inking a few cold ones by the lake.
>>9284369
> no chips
That's not a full English
This is what you eat when you've got a free world to lead.
mfw everything I eat turns to shit anyway so what's the fucking point.

Guess how I know you think The Cure is a really cool band?
Just found out I'm lactose intolerant. How do I go on? Can we have a thread against dairy and milk?
Can i get away with eating stuff that has milk baked into it like cookies and cakes?
>>9305717
Most people who are lactose intolerant can handle the small amounts left in cheese, yogurt, etc. There usually isn't milk in cookies, just butter and butter has little to no lactose. Cakes will have more lactose so it depends on what you're able to handle.
You could also try "curing" it by slowing introducing it to your gut flora by having a tablespoon of milk a few times a day, and slowly increasing the amount of milk you have each time. It worked for me when I didn't have dairy a few months and started eating it again
>>9305717
>How do I go on?
Lactase tablets.
>>9305717
Mestizos and Africans do not belong here.
Please prove to me, using peer-reviewing studies, whether or not coconut oil is (relatively) healthy.

Your welcome
Fucked up and undercooked my burger.
Is this safe to eat?
Maybe.
>>9305413
No food is safe to eat. there's always the risk of choking.
Anyway, if you ground that meat yourself then I'd have no problem eating it. If that was shit from the supermarket then it needs more cooking. That's my take on the risks, anyway. It's not as if its actually possible to give you an exact answer.
>>9305420
It's a premade super market ground chuck patty.
I have a question about removing liquid from a dish.
So I regularly make the following:
3 peppers
1 onion
chicken breast.
I chop up and cook the chicken in the pan, then when it's cooked, I throw in the chopped up vegetables, cover for like 10-15 on low heat, then pull the top off once everything is cooked.
At which point I have a pan full of liquid. I've never once found a way to get all that fucking liquid out. High heat burns everything, low heat just slowly but surely sucks all the liquid out of the vegables and bubbles it away until it's a mush.
Medium is somewhere in the middle but certainly doesn't leave me with a non-soupy thing with cooked but not mushy vegetables
What is the trick here? I just don't get it.
salt, you dipshit
>>9305356
Just dump some salt in the pan at that stage?
>>9305348
Your technique is the problem. Cooking peppers and onion for 10-15 min releases a lot of water. If you have the lid on the pan then all that water will be trapped inside. Thus, you have two problems:
1) you're overcooking watery vegetables
2) keeping the lid on is trapping that water in your dish.
The solution is a stir-fry. Use very high heat to cook hotter-but-faster. Keep the lid off to avoid trapping moisture. Stop the veggies from burning by constantly tossing them in the pan. Your dish should take a total of about 2-3 minutes to cook if you have the correct heat level. (cooking time only; not counting the time to cut & prep).
Rate my homemade dinner from last night. Also any suggestions on how to improve welcome.
Pre cooking; chicken over zucchini, potato, and tomato with a generous sprinkling of a mix I made of minced garlic, paprika, Parmesan, salt & pepper.
Put in the over at 375 for 35 minutes. Tasted pretty good actually. Living alone with a decent kitchen finally after years with roommates and no room to cook. Trying to make most meals now after take out for years (I live in NYC)
That chicken looks rather raw, would not eat.
Also olive oil and a splash of wine
I'm looking to spend a weekend cooking lots of dishes that I can then freeze into individual portions for eating later. I'll make a huge batch of chicken curry but what else do you suggest?
Irish stew saves quite well.
I tried to be sensible and do what you're doing but I ended up feeling depressed, heating up food for dinner every night.
>>9304771
pretty much everything stew related and thicc soups works perfectly for freezing as most of them taste best after a second heating. Just think about dishes where extra water from the freezing process dosen't fuck with the consistent/taste.
>>9304780
Great, thanks.
Depression is part of the reason I want to do this. I'm often feeling quite low and have no energy or inclination to do anything, especially cook. When I'm like this I'll either not eat, or order a take-away, or get fast food, none of which is ideal on an extremely regular basis.
Conversely, I'm sometimes highly motivated/slightly manic. It's this burst of energy I'd love to channel into spending all day cooking.
>shoestring fries? more like jewstring fries!
>>9304669
haha ZING!
Real question here, why are they called shoestring and not shoelace fries?
I live alone, and when I make cakes and desserts and stuff, there's always too much. Advice?
give to friends family coworkers or neighbors
>>9304665
Make smaller batches, and make cupcakes. Or stop being a fat fuck and quit making cakes for just yourself. Get some friends and cook for them, or volunteer at a soup kitchen.
>>9304665
Yeah, just make smaller cakes.
How do you keep your recipes?
Do you use special software? A simple text file, maybe formatted with markdown?
I want to start writing the few things I know how to make down, because I obviously can't remember it. I want to "future proof" it, because I expect to add everything I know how to make to it.
>>9304528
In a well made bound diary.
It's very comfy.
>>9304539
>consumes spaces
>can't be backed up
>can't easily and aesthethically make corrections
It's somewhat romantic, but not convenient.
>>9304560
Use a tablet if you want to be like that but the waifu and I want a recipe book full of handwritten notes that can be given to the children someday.
Here is my first attempt for fries. I soaked them in water then boiled them with salt and vinegar.
>>9304389
For how long on each? So boil then fry?
First batch of frying. I am frying twice. They have to sit for 30 minutes according to the recipe.
>>9304395
Frying twice sounds like too much work. I would like a recipe where I can fry once then maybe bake them the rest of the way.
