Hello /ck/, I have a girl staying over for two nights this weekend, which will mean that I (at some point) will have to cook for her. I never have cooked for anyone besides myself and I've only really cooked basic stuff.
What would be some simple, but nice meals to cook? I'm kinda on a budget aswell since I'm a student, so nothing too fancy, but healthy.
Thank you for your advise in advance, have a great day.
Carbonara. Only a handful of ingredients, tastes great and can be made to look fancy.
Big Sausage Pizza. Buy a pizza and cut a hole through it and the bottom of the box. Put your cock through the hole then open the box to her and ask her to suck the cheese off your dick. This works on two levels because you are uncircumcised and there is also natural cheese on your dick.

What form is your beef in?
I haven't gotten any yet. But at the store they have these steaks or whatever cut into strips. On the package it says "great for stir fries".
Idk what kind of beef it is though.
Rate my ramen, /ck/
>>8430924
that beef looks boiled
>>8430934
It's pork. I only cooked it a little in a pan with some green onions and chillies.
this is not ramen
Name a better show
Pro tip: you cant.
>>8430737
Cooking shows are not important enough to bother ranking them.

Mario Batali's show was awesome, if only because you could watch a fat, sweating redhead burn the fuck out of food while leering at female guests through a cocaine haze. That motherfucker is my hero.
this shows only good if youre a pants on head retard and mostly serves as an outlet for a fucking nerd to monologue for 30 min about things that should be common sense
and the whole aversion to unitaskers or w/e the fuck pointis kind of moot when he makes stupid shit like a fucking fish scaling box
tldr fuck good eats
Here's my loadout.
>Coconut oil: Smells delicious. Use in stirfry. Useful as a cosmetic product. A 10/10 oil.
>Olive oil: Another staple oil. Salad, pasta, bread, and dips. I like to get the really dark green stuff. 10/10 oil.
>Macadamia nut oil: Not really sure what to do with this. The label suggests using it as a baking substitute for butter, but it smells very nutty. 5/10.
>Avocado oil: I don't know what to do with this. I don't like the taste or smell of avocadoes. 1/10.
>Soya oil: Cheap stuff I use for deep frying. 5/10.
Not pictured -
>Peanut oil: Strong peanut flavour, I only use it in satay curry. 7/10.
>Sesame oil: Can make a lot of things taste better. 9/10.
>Rice bran oil: Mostly flavourless and a high smoke point, so it's useful in everything. 10/10.
>>8430204
I like transformer oil, or gutter oil..

Canola oil
Olive oil
Sesame oil
Butter
Rendered bacon fat
'Butter' that a roommate uses
Why do people like this shit? Its way too sugary and sweet. The frosting is unbearable. It makes me cringe that there are fatsos in this world that can eat an entire cake in one sitting. Fucking disgusting.
Oh yeah, Tres Leches sucks ass too so fuck off spics.
What kinda of cake have you tried, maybe you just had some bad cake
>>8430027
Sounds like someone's been the victim of fake cake.
Why are these even a thing? They're not a lollipop and the stick just makes it harder to eat
>>8429849
Nice stained salmon shorts.
Or are they corral?

>on the way out, while I still have about 2 hours of work to do, I hear her bitching about her tips and how she 'only' made $200 for 5 hours of work
I hate waitstaff with a passion unmatched for any other profession on the planet. It's where pudgy, mean-spirited, unfulfilled young women or rotten old hags go to die and every single one of them has this godawful attitude that they are somehow entitled to make in one night what I'm lucky to make in three or four full days. They are the most entitled group of people on the planet, bar none. I mean think about it: a group of people who earns 30-40 an hour to hand people food and have a collective bitch-fest with or about whatever drug addicted scum is associated with them.
Post your greentexts here, boys. Let it all out. Rough night behind the line, dumbass teenagers, burger flipping woes, whatever.
Not Invited: Waitstaff
I have come to understand why Gordon Ramsey doesn't bother dealing with wait staff on his shows, but rather contracts it out to his french buddy: If I were him, I'd probably kill myself if I had to deal with a group of people this bad. Shitty restaurant owners and incompetent cooks are one thing, but wait staff CHOOSES to be shit by default. Another prime example:
>be me, working a double shift
>responsibilities include cleaning entire kitchen, boxing up leftover food, motivating the lazy teenage dishboys, mopping, the usual. No big deal.
>wait staff has two counters they are supposed to clean
>wait staff leader is having a rough night because reasons, her cunt is acting up today, who cares
>she decides waitstaff can all leave
>area is still a complete mess
>have to clean up after them, even though it takes me a good 45 minutes more
>next morning, waitstaff manager is whining about how the dishboys aren't doing enough with the silverware (we already sort it and shit, I mean come on)
>mfw
One thing that I love is that the waitstaff in every place I've worked are convinced that they work the hardest out of all the kitchen workers. I mean maybe this is the case in relative terms, because most waitresses where I've worked are of the 'skinny drug addled redneck' variety or the 'waddling fatass' variety, but for fuck's sake is it necessary to complain?
See, I've never heard a kitchenworker whine. I've heard them grumble about something that is unusually obnoxious to deal with (I've worked as a pizza chef and as a general rule I also have a dislike for vegans and most of all people who are gluten free by choice for this reason), but they don't whine about daily stuff. I've never had a word of complaint to say about having to clean a nasty old stove or pick up after some teenager who fucked up. But waitstaff are just venomous and poisonous.
>be me, washing the walls and shit in the dishroom
>kitchen is quiet, service is still several hours away
>overhear the waitstaff complaining about the dishboys
>they are whining that we don't go fast enough
>mfw
Maybe if you lazy assholes cleaned off your plates and put the silverware in a separate bucket like you're supposed to, we'd be able to go faster, now wouldn't we. :^)

According to Japanese popular belief, Grand Old Parr is the Japanese Politician's favorite drink to order when showing off to others.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Old_Parr
Your thoughts on this, /ck/? Any actual drinking experience with Grand Old Parr?
I've never had it and practically never seen it in the US but I've seen it a lot overseas for whatever reason. Funny that it's produced in the UK but not even sold there?
>>8429415
Bet something happened similar to KFC convincing Japan, fried chicken was a Christmas tradition.
Someone from the UK years ago, must have convinced Asians this is what people in the UK drink.
>>8429381
Is it any good?
really makes you think
This is just getting ridiculous.
>>8429137
This
>it's "real"
I havnt experienced this level of disappointment in ages. Went to Arby's and ordered off their dollar "menu" and got this sandwiches for midgets. How can this place fucking compete with McDonald's or BK when they serve this little horse dervs as a burger? I will not be back
>>8428712
Honestly those little things are pretty based. At the Arbys here they have a happy hour where you can get $1 small curly fries and small drinks.
You can get like 3 of those sliders, fries and a drink all for $5.
Mcdonalds doesn't even have a fucking dollar menu any more.

>Went to Arby's
Stopped reading.

The buffalo chicken one was pretty good imo
>don't shake the wine, you will damage it!
>don't drink it yet, it needs to "breath"
>i am too sophisticated for american wine
>ooh this is a great vintage lol
Why are wine knowers so full of bullshit?
You don't shake because older wines can have sediment that is better left in the bottle, and shaking prevents it from settling
Wine changes flavor when exposed to oxygen, and a lot of wines, particularly big red wines, could use a little time uncorked to mellow out.
American wines can be very good but, besides a few regions, are generally more fruit forward than those who prefer more earthiness or minerality in wines.
Growing years vary and some are better than others.
Go back to your mchicken or 'go za threads.
>>8426675
This guy is right.
Who the fuck is a self-proclaimed "wine knower" saying American wines are unsophisticated? I prefer California reds to most other countries/regions, but I realize that's my own preference. Bit harder to find decent California reds at a reasonable price since I moved to NYC, though.
All the shops tend towards Italian and French stuff, although I see Californian a lot in restaurants. Weird. I figure it must be a distribution issue (blue law remnant) because Manhattan is dumb as fuck regarding that kind of thing.
>>8426663
The only thing on that list that is actually helpful is
> let it breathe first
But that doesn't turn wine into gold
talk about 'em
I love boiled eggs.
>>8425087
Mom science indeed, mine was trying to tell me the other night to get my cholesterol checked.
Boyfriend just gave me a mandolin (picture related) for Christmas. I'm excessively excited to start fermenting vegetables. Any tips/tricks/recipes to start me out?
say goodbye to the skin on your knuckles now

My hands are already always cut/burnt. Bring it on, huge razor blade.
