Sandwich? What?

Shitty junk food. They're only palatable when you're drunk.

Nah, I deleted it because I defined it incorrectly.

The way I make my baked potato is getting some plastic wrap and microwaving it. Add a dollop of Daisy sour cream, sprinkle a bit of bacon bits and cheese. Won't exactly be god-tier but the cheapest and fastest way that tastes fairly well.

Free dose of penicillin. Some Americans pay hundreds for that!

Some food you can just avoid to eat the visible mold and it's alright, but that's not the case for bread.

Pumpkin is gross.

>tfw the only person in my family that loves mushrooms.

Feels bad, man. I never get to cook anything with mushrooms.

I remember waking up to pick these at like 5 am in when I lived in Austria

Guys, how about we enhance the pastebin a little?
I'd recommend for Japan:
>Thes du Japon
Wide selection, overall good quality and price. Buy in Yen, as it's cheaper than in Euro/USD.
>Hibiki-an
A little on the expensive side, don't buy the accessiories, as they are overpriced. But they have some not so common teas like Tencha and their interfact is pretty easy.

For China:
>Cha-Shifu
Very well reputed store (see f.e. the German forum Teetalk). Good prices, ships from China afaik. Wide selection. In my opinion not the friendliest seller though
>Chadao
Very well reputed in Germany as well. One of the nicest, good hearted sellers I've ever met. Great selection, fair prices. Probably not so interesting for people outside the EU though.

Also how about we enhance the OP a little with a How-To get buyers advice, as it's quite difficult to help people who have no idea what info we need to help them.

I think I'll have some Tai Ping Hou Kui soon. Will post a pic or two.

Just ordered some uji shirakawa gyokuro from o-cha. Having urges to get a new houhin.

Never had it, been drinking chinese for a while

Get an organic version and not the big brand shit. It doesn't have as much sugar so you don't binge eat it.

Crunchy a best.

Eat it with grape jelly.

You've seen the light OP

Peanut butter loves you very much

because you really just want to drink cooking oil

Gyoza are Chinese. Japanese people would even tell you they're Chinese.

Wish I could help you but I can't bother translating the names of the condiments I know in english

So I'll just bump your thread (for free) instead

the main advantage to buying spices/making your own spice blends over a pre-made blend is price
dried spices are universally worse than fresh ones
if you're not going to have a windowsill spice/herb garden then you shouldn't be too worried about it
therefore, obviously real garlic and real onions will be better than garlic or onion powder
>mortar and pestle
no need, just smash the cloves with the flat side of your knife
or use a garlic press if you're a pussy and you like cleaning a garlic press for 10 minutes

>>8125478
>'essential'
Salt and pepper. Not being a smart ass. Anything beyond that is going to depend on the kinds of food you cook.

>any brands
Search Google Maps for an Asian or Indian grocer near you. For example, I can get a pound of cumin seeds for $3 whereas at a supermarket you're going to get one of those bottle sizes on the bottom in the picture. It's a fucking crime. Supermarkets fucking blow, but sometimes we have no choice but to use them.

>avoid
People are going to tell you to avoid pre-mixed stuff, or to ONLY use fresh herbs. Ignore them. They may also tell you to only buy whole seeds. Ignore that too.

Even in a perfect world where we can just go in our back yards and pick the most beautiful herbs and spices and grind them ourselves, I would still have a use for dried and ground spices.

>should I be using real
For onion, garlic, and ginger, I suggest using the real thing when it makes sense. Like mirepoix as the base for soups and sauces. If you want to make a dry rub, spring for the powder. Garlic salt is just garlic powder and salt. You can make your own, but unless you can find the perfect ratio, you might just want to get it pre-made. I've personally never bought the stuff because I already have too many cooking projects I want to start, and none of them call for it.

>finally gives up its ghost and stops working
Is that a Ghost in the Shell reference?

And no I don't have any actual advice since I never make toast, only have a sandwich/panini thing-a-magig, sorry anon

I will give you a bump because I like u

>extremely overpriced polished steel "assembled by hand in Britain" chinese crap

All of Dualit's parts are manufactured in China, and they have notorious failure rates on things like the plastic timer.

Guys have any cool brew fests coming up?
'Elysian Great pumpkin brew fest' is happening in Seattle pretty soon. should be pretty solid,

>>8120142
You have a straight up pumpkin beer fest? I'm jelly anon.
I've got Oktoberfest starting in my town tomorrow, hope the local micro breweries come out of the woodworks for it

Fast food.

Whatever mom makes.

You have all the time in the world to learn how to cook.
Don't be frightened. You might fail a few times but that helps you to learn.
When you master the act of cooking you'll be more confident and self sufficient.
Take control of your life and your body by controlling what you put into it.
The boy becomes the man.
The man eats his oats.
