Does anyone on /ck/ have their own garden? Herbs or vegetables, I'm wondering if it tastes any better than the store and if it's worth the effort.
I have a few potted plants, Experimented with a few things, the only one that does well here in the desert is cayenne peppers.
Those are better than any red pepper flakes you can find in stores.
Yes. Couple of heirloom tomatoes, peas, rosemary, basil, lemongrass, and some opium.
Fresh herbs are much better than dried, and personally I hate buying them at the store. Either the store doesn't have what I want, or it can be really expensive. And for tomatoes nothing beats home grown.

I just have a couple small pots with herbs that I grow inside. I think it is worth it because you can get fresh herbs year round for almost no effort. Definitely cheaper and easier than buying fresh herbs from the market, and noticeably better tasting than dried herbs in plenty of dishes.
Any interest in Old Bay Seasoning?
>>7936593

Im about to pay some wog tradie 200 dollars plus 500 dollars for supplies to build a woodfired oven in my backyard. Is it worth it? Does anyone has experience with traditional wood fired ovens?
>>7935061
You'll get tired of it and then be too lazy to clean it when you do want to use it
>>7935061
For me, it's worth it to me.....but if you are having to ask the question if it's worth it on a chinese frog posting forum, you'll probably use it 10 times the first 6 weeks you have it then never touch it again....
They look nice.
Post your dinner /ck/
I made stuffed Cornish game hen, sautéed green beans with red onion and tomatoes and whipped red potatoes with sage.
>>7933847
Looks good, well seasoned.
Would definitely eat. Did you pair a wine with it?
>>7933851
Thanks anon. No wine unfortunately. My fiancé is pregnant so she just had water and lemon but I did have an 805 beer with mine.
>>7933847
8/10, would feverishly nibble while sipping from my goblet
If you opened a jar and it didn't pop, would you throw it out?
>>7933736
No
I'd return it
>>7933736
Why you post a picture of Chicago style pizza?
>>7933751

Maybe I'm slow, but these things were at the grocery store today.
>>7933599
Hmm I guess the cans are no longer amazon prime exclusive. Neat. I still have 4 cases in my office.

>Ecto Cooler
What year is this!?
>Cool the Can, See the Slime.
??????????
When you put can in fridge does it get covered in slime?
or does the texture of the drink resemble slime when cooled?
Anyone have good salad recipes?
I tried this tabbouleh salad tonight:
http://www.thugkitchen.com/chickpea_tabbouleh
Tasted pretty bland.
Last weekend did a greek salad (with scallops and pasta) that came out okay, but I went overboard on the dressing.
Seems like a reasonable salad but would need more than 1/2 tsp of salt to taste good for me.
I like this recipe in spring and summer. Fresh oregano and good wine vinegar make it.
Rice, Bean, Corn & Oregano Salad
Dressing
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano or 1 tablespoon dried
salt & pepper to taste
Salad
1 cup long-grain rice
1-1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (shaved from 2 ears) or canned
1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed & drained
1 15-oz. can garbanzo beans (chick peas), rinsed & drained
2 cups grape tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes
3 green onions, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
Cook rice, transfer rice to strainer, rinse with water to cool, drain and set aside.
Whisk vinegar, garlic, oil, and oregano in large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add cooled rice, corn, black beans, garbanzo beans, green onions, bell pepper and oregano. Toss to combine. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes to blend flavors. Season salad again with salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Cover and refrigerate.

>Seems like a reasonable salad but would need more than 1/2 tsp of salt to taste good for me.
Yeah it for sure needed more.. something.
Also I think I didn't chop the mint fine enough. It called for chopped mint, but I think minced would be better. Like some bites got a huge amount of mint, then others not enough.

This looks good! Thanks.
What's the most expansive meal you've had?
Technically the buffet, as the food expands across multiple rows of tables.

I ate several pound of freeze dried fruit once as a kid. It was physical painful until I threw up.
Fuck you, astronauts. Double fuck you to NASA.
I swear this isn't a troll thread. My buddies dad is a 70 year old life long chef whose dying.
He's always had an interesting sense of humor, especially around cooking. And I know for a fact he would enjoy watching all of the fucked up retarded "Ja/ck/" webms.
Could you guys dump them for me what you got. I don't have any saved.
I want to put them all on a dvd so he can watch em.
...no, im not trying to kill him via a heart attack

Food that makes you lose self-control.
>Cheez-Its and Coke
I feel so fucking nasty but it's like the perfect combination for my tastebuds
I can just chug it like a slurry of horrible junk food and never stop

Literally bread. I could get a decent piece of ham and go through a whole loaf of bread if I didn't care about my health.

Hey /ck/ I'm planning on opening an ice cream and dessert shop next season so I wanted to ask you guys the one flavor you'd like to see if you walked in. Emulation of flavors or combinations you can get at the store is fine as well.
Deep Dish Pizza
lavender/earl grey op get the hipsters in
Vanilla ice cream
