I need help /ck/... I've been drinking beer since I was around 15 years old (24 now) and, while I've had my share of rums, tequilas and wines, I've never been big into spirits and other liquors. Until recently, this qt Asian girl I was dating got me into whiskey, 2 years ago. I know there's single malt and blended and lots of other stuff to look at, but I feel like I still don't know shit about whiskeys and I'm sure I've only had entry-level stuff; JDs, Black Label, Glenlivet (the "cheap" one with the light blue label)... I thought this last one was pretty good compared to the others, but I've seen it has shit ratings everywhere. So far, pic related has been my go to, since it's not expensive and tastes good enough to me. I read that red label is cheap quality and meant to be mixed, is that the case with white label too? I just wanna know my shit before I order something at a bar.
>>tldr; what's a decent whiskey within the $20-40 price range / what else should someone who's getting into whiskeys try or move up to
whiskey or qtddto thread I guess

Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Bulleit Rye is my go-to inexpensive whiskey. A handle is like $35 at Costco.

At that price range you'll find much better bourbons than scotches. You will NOT find a decent scotch for $20, anywhere. So look for Wild Turkey 101, or if you can get it, Larceny.

Fried eggs make any dish 1000x better prove wrong.
What's your favorite recipe that involves fried eggs?

Listen carefully because this is very important advice. Lots of people think cooking is all about complicated recipes, big cookbooks and arduous effort. Really it's more of an innate thing.
Learning to cook is much more simple, so pay close attention to what I'm going to say. Are you listening?
Fry an egg and experiment with various seasoning. This will give you an idea of what flavours go well together which is the most important quality in cooking. Fry an egg, cut it in quarter, season each quarter differently. Try one with cayenne and, I dunno, chives? Just experiment with lots of seasoning combinations.
Then fry another egg and repeat the process. Keep frying eggs and experimenting until you get a good idea of what works. You can eat 3-4 eggs in a day, heck you're from /fit/ so probably 6+. If you eat 6 eggs in a day, that's 24 egg quarters, 24 seasoning combinations in a day. You're talkng about 1000 seasoning combinations in just over a month.
At this stage you'll be a spicemaster and what/how you cook wont matter because you'll be better at seasoning than 99% of professional chefs, and this WILL make you a good cook.

Grana is only made from fresh, semi-skimmed milk and stored a couple of weeks in brine.
You got any credible source anything else is in it?

Hey coo/ck/s

>How much water
Check the package for the rice. Different types use differing amounts of water.
>vinegar
to taste
>>
>>8099501
I normally rinse the ever living fuck out of the rice, which should be short grained for best results. I then do a 1-1 ratio of water to rice. After its done cooking, I add a tablespoon of rice vinegar, a tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon of salt per cup.
>>
make sure the rice is thoroughly washed
and after its washed put it in a sieve and let it dry the grains will look weird and opaque
after its dry let the rice soak for 30min to 1hr
if you use 2 cups use 2.5 cups water

Working in a deli for 10 years, chipped chopped ham has been the bane of my existence. Does anyone here legitimately enjoy these? What are some fascinating things I can do with it?

eh I've been working for Kroger for 10 years, that's already a lot of my time. It's convenient.. I mean it's a job. Sure I hate my life but it's work! And they have benefits. My pay isn't so bad either. And who would hire me? I think I'm just meant to work uncomfortably for the rest of my life. Puts hair on your chest.
Not here to talk about work though.

>>8099448
Oh. You're right. Better grocery stores don't want experienced employee.. Oh and being manager is haaarrd and ten years isn't nearly enough experience.

Got some delivery from a new place in sterling, VA. I was not expecting it to be this good, but damn it is so good. They delivered the pho deconstructed, now I got broth to use on whatever, fucking nice. The sandwich was not soggy at all like you would expect from delivery, saving the ribs and rice for later but looks good as fuck.
Before getting this food I never would have considered making a yelp account but I am going to make one just to give them 5 stars. delivery this good, dining in must be even better, heckkk even the same it doesn't matter.
This was all $25.

Who makes the best value menu chicken sandwich? I'm not sure why but the cheap one from jack in the box really steals my wool. I think the mayo they use might be different but also I like the bread and chicken better than McDonald's or Wendy's.

if you removed the chicken i would say mcdonalds makes a fine value chicken sandwich. their mayo, lettuce and bun are perfectly seasoned imo
just the chicken hardly resembles chicken. chicken shouldnt look like shotgun-executed tumors put through a blender
