I mix my vodka with soda or seltzer water

>>7606261
So far I've just tried orange juice and vodka. It's really the only thing I know about. Also someone told me tullamore dew was a good whiskey so that's what I got

For you Four Loco and Corona.

Just kidding, but anyway you're asking a crazy broad question, almost as silly as saying "I've just started eating food and I don't know what to make with them." Alcohol comes in so many categories and moods.

For Whiskey I'd say Whiskey Sour, if it's a good whiskey you might want to try and Old Fashioned but keep in mind that's an old man's drink and you probably won't like it until you're a full blown alcoholic. Don't drink Jack and Coke, that's a shitty drink and I think it's only popular because they're so popular and ubiquitous.

Vodka is vast so very vast. Bloody Mary's, White Russians, Moscow Mule, the whole Martini thing. Vodka can pretty much add to anything. My favorite is a Salty Dog.

For you I'd suggest trying a real Margarita. Cointreau, Gold Tequila, Fresh Lime Juice. Margarita's get a bad wrap because of the Americanized over sugared crap. A real Margarita tastes incredible and gets you buzzed nicely.

why do you care what other people do

I've started cooking real food from base ingredients instead of just reheating crap, making pasta sauce, cooking steaks, that sort of thing. I usually take a photo if I'm particularly happy with how it turned out, so I can see my progression. I don't post them anywhere. I have no idea why people take photos in public of resteraunt meals.

>>7618878
do you not observe the behavior of the people around you? do you go around staring at your shoes everywhere? idiot

>one of her """" friends"""'

Top cuck
Is this the new "my wifes son"?

>>7614358

Heck yeah, OP. I made friends with this old Chinese lady who owns the local Azn market. She's been teaching me all kinds of cooking tips; inviting me into their restaurant kitchen to share food & teach, etc. It's awesome. I guess she's surprised to see a white boy buying chicken feet, pork blood, etc.

And don't limit yourself to Asian. There's plenty of other cultures who can teach you a lot of awesome cooking stuff.

>>7614246
hmmm you're going to have to buy the ingredients to make your own fast food. start with your local dollar store and buy beans, rice, and tortillas to make your own imitation taco bell burritos.

>>7614250
nice idea but is there any store thats like 50 cents and under?

>>7614255
The store that sells you your instant ramen
Now neck yourself

I worked at a gas station about a year ago. We had Deli Express and a couple of other brands of those sandwiches. Just make sure you check the hand written dates on them before you buy. We would receive the sandwiches frozen in a crate, thaw them in the back coolers, and then write the date 28 days out from when we put them on the shelf. Most of my co-workers would forget to write the dates on them and pull the old ones, which led me to check each sandwich I sold so the person wouldn't get sick or pissed off.

They all taste like cold plastic anyway.

>>7613460
I often eat them. Sometimes I make it a meal by adding a can of soda and a bag of chips.

>>7613624
I do that too! I'm definitely not some pretentious douchebag who scoffs at anyone who decides to eat those things for lunch.

I drink roughly 2-3 liters per day.
Source: my faucet, which has a filter on it.

>>faucet water when you cook
Using filtered water makes a difference for some things (drinks, stocks/broths) but I didn't notice any difference when, say, boiling veggies.

>spring
some of it tastes good, but I don't find it worth the price.

>distilled
contains no minerals so it doesn't taste of anything.

>>7611699
At least a gallon a day
Iced
Filtered from fridge at home or machine at work
Filtered for coffee, tea, and cooking
Cup at home, tumbler with straw at work, 1L Nalgene when out

>going to a nice restaurant with baby boomers
You brought this on yourself. If I walk into a new restaurant and see it full of elderly white people, I turn 360 degrees and walk away.

>>7606474
Prime Rib is fucking disgusting. I ordered it once and couldn't finish it, literally a block of fat.

>boomers at a restaurant
>even once

Often times you just choose the meat (or vegetable) and get a full platter like in your OP pic.

most ethiopian places have some kind of combo plate on the menu so just order that to hit all the bases and save money

otoh do they do tend to load those combos up with cheap shit like lentil or bean dishes, so order the meat if you want it

>>7616570
>>7616580
Thanks anons! Any authentic food/meat that you are recommending? I don't want to just eat chicken with a salad as I can get that at even fast food restaurants. I want to try something authentic yet universally considered good tasting.

>he doesn't get del taco chili cheese fries

>>7606732
Stay on your side of the wall. This does not concern you.

>>7606735
seriously though, is there anyone that can give a legitimate reason why having a wall there would be a bad thing?

>>7614683
Tropicana and colgate

>>7614683
shrimp and chocolate

Get the Giant pint can and chill it to as cold as you can before drinking.

>>7603338
I continue my conversation with my guests and act like the adult I am.

>>7603338
I am thankful I'm not an autist who gets upset at other peoples evidence of intense sexual relations

It obviously is going to depend on the situation.

Last time I was in that situation (in a place where it wasn't appropriate) I asked to have the food boxed up, tipped the served, and explained why we were leaving.

I'm honestly too old to put up with that kind of shit.

I don't like the sweet/non sweet combinations most other asian cuisines use, but I actually prefer Korean to japanese

Mostly because japanese cuisine uses less exotic and "weird" ingredients than chinese or thai, so it's easier to find and cheaper; unless you live in a city with a big asian community.

VOTING GUIDELINES


Voting follows an 'Iron Chef' style scoring system. This means you, the people of /ck/, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.


Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet your expectations for a category.


-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)


The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in Appeal.


For additional info and to see submissions from Previous years, check out the Challenge blog. (http://ckchallenge.blogspot.ca/)

The theme of Round Seven is...

No heat allowed!

Raw, frozen, fermented, cold smoked, cooked in acid... I don't care, but no no heat source allowed this round! Good luck!. While you're perfectly welcome to make a large spread of food, please make sure there is clearly a "main dish" because that is what people will be voting on.

Two contestants will not be moving on to the next round. This is also a prize round! Winner gets a surprise!
