>society starts to slowly eat less and less bread as time goes on
>society is also becoming more and more obese as time goes on

Can't be coincidence.

>eat nothing but fast food and ben and jerries and sugary colas for thr past 10 years
>smell my piss
>it smells like fruit juice
Well it finally happened. Why isnt it illegal to let people eat this way?

Anyway does ck have any good healthy recipes for someone with diabetes? Ive been eating the stir fry with chicken breasts that someone posted in an infographic a few days ago but its getting boring now.

Also i switched to diet colas.

Cooking (at least cooking savory things that don't involve baking/leavening ingredients or food science techniques) as a whole is mostly a skill that doesn't rely on formulaic recipes but instead a feel for how something should taste, what it's lacking, and how to fix it.

The overall goal is to have a balance of flavors, but having something that ends up being too balanced is also not particularly delicious or memorable.. Therefore you need to have a single thing, or a combination of multiple things that form a coherent focal point, stick out.

You can accentuate the desired flavors by manipulating the basal taste sensations, which are sweetness/acid/salt/fat. "umami" is intentionally left out because i'll get to that later.

anyway, here are the flavor cheat codes:

>sweetness

pure maple syrup is easily the most versatile way to apply sweetness to anything.. everything from grits to pan sauces to marinades, salad dressings, glazes, whatever.

honey is a distant second but not really comparable.

>acid

sherry vinegar can be added to literally (L I T E R A L L Y) anything that tastes ok but not spectacular and it will make it taste spectacular; it's the thing you've always needed but never knew you weren't using.

>salt

salt, obviously. kosher salt.. kosher salt and also cured meats can work really well to achieve the same goal.

soy sauce/tamari is a close second, followed by miso as a slightly less versatile soy variation.

>fat

butter. butter is definitely the most superior form of fat. i mean, there are tons of great plant oils out there that have specific uses as well as tons of animal fats/tallow, but butter is hands down the most useful of them all.

discuss, and add to the list if you have any suggestions.

When I have a bite of certain foods, usually sweet (bananas or yoghurt), my cheeks and jaw begin to experience a sharp intense pain that lasts a few seconds, and then goes away.
This happens on the first bite
Why does this happen?

I fucking hate my dad.

Today, my family and I went out to Longhorns for my 21st birthday. I hate Longhorns, steak isn't that great, the chicken tenders they have there are okay though. Really though i just hate going anywhere with my dad, he ruins everything. He always tries to fight with me over everything and he constantly puts down my mom and sister, he's just a piece of shit.

So we get to Longhorns and right off he starts up with being an ass. He keeps telling me to order a beer or a whisky drink, both of which I fucking hate, the taste of alcohol is just awful anyways. When the server gets to me to take our meal orders, I really wanted the chicken tenders with extra honey mustard, but when i told the server that my dad freaked the fuck out and started yelling at me, telling me he wasn't going to play for garbage and told me I had to get a steak. Meanwhile my mom and sister are sitting there really embarrassed, my mom tried to tell my dad to calm down but he just started screaming at her, just to shut him up and give my mom a break i ordered a steak, well done with ketchup on the side, and he gets all pissed off about it telling me I'm ruining it and that I was wasting his money. All of this is pretty typical when ever my dad goes out with us. I just fucking hate him, I wish it could just be my mom, my sister and me, he literally ruins everything. I fucking hate him. Then after the meal is done and the bill comes, he makes a big scene about not tipping the server. My whole birthday was fucking awful because of him.

So I was looking through some old boxes in my house and I found a limited edition Hershey's bar I guess I never opened. I kinda remember buying it 10 years ago and I haven't seen this flavor on store shelves since. The candy is still inside, the packet has never been opened at all. And I kinda know that there are some people who like to buy old discontinued food items on ebay. The thing is, I don't know how much this would be worth or how much a candy collecting enthusiast would pay for something like this particular item here in question. What are your thoughts /ck/?

So today I went to a small market and bought Chicken bones for like a dollar. I Haven't weighed them yet but I'm guessing I've got about 2-4 pounds. I want to make my own stock from them.\

So I've made stock before but I used Turkey bones from leftover Thanksgiving. I basically used what I had in house when I made this, but for this chicken stock I'm going to the store. I'm actually going in about 10-20 minutes. I know I need to pick up carrots and celery, I already have onions. I have fresh parsley in the fridge. I have dried bay leaves, oregano, S&P.

What else do I need? / Should I pick up???

Why do chain pizzerias like Dominos/Pizza Hut/Pappa John's always have such a disgustingly potent smell that fills a room and doesn't go away? Real pizza DOES NOT do this. What the fuck are they putting in his garbage?
