I just bought this. Did I mess up?
I am hoping to cook vegetable/meat every day with it.
>>7517022
You spent $100 on a really big blow-dryer.
>>7517026
But can I cook something worthwhile with it?
meh. seems okay i guess if you wanted a convection oven but didn't have or couldn't afford the real thing.

>implying vegans aren't all filthy traitors and value animal lives over human lives
my gf has been watching vegan videos on youtube the last week. She's trying out vegetarianism.
I'm okay with it, but my god some of the fucking people she's watching are preachy as hell. I even was a vegetarian for 7 years before I decided I wanted to change up my diet and wanted more protein from chicken.
I just bought $70 of tea, what the fuck.

It's your money, whatever

Oh do tell anon.

What kind?
How many grams?
Who else /easterleftovers/ tonight?
What's a leftover?
>>7516794
I'm digging that pumpernickel bread. Pumpernickel is best bread.
Yeah, I'm making a ham and potato bake from our leftovers tonight for dinner, and going to grill some asparagus to go with it, along with some leftover yeast rolls.
>>7516825
It's pumpernickel with some horseradish to go along with the ham. I did two hams and at the end of the night one of them was entirely untouched, so it's going to be leftovers for days. Probably going to freeze half, make a bunch of quiche, most of which will still end up frozen for later, and make stock out of the bones.
Pretty much all the stuff other people brought was terrible versions of Midwest food.
So I have tried to smoke ribs several times now. I keep getting tough ribs. They are juicy but though.
How to I get them to fall off of the bone?
How long and at what temperature are you smoking?
3-2-1 method. 3 hours on the smoker around 275F. 2 hours wrapped in foil with some liquid (apple juice, ac vinegar, water, etc) and butter. 1 hour unwrapped. Last 15 minutes brush on some bbq sauce if thats your thing.

Any Wendy's aficionados here?
Fuck off, Dave.
>>7516479
God I fucking love their nuggets
>>7516479
I usually get:
A Double stack cheeseburger mustard only meal, so fries or salad depending on my mood
Spicy nuggets
chili w/ 2 hot sauce packs
If I got the fries and I'm drunk or hungover a chocolate frosty to dip fries in.
I'm also not a big eater so chili usually goes in fridge for later. It reheats just fine in microwave.
Whaddaya think of this bean burrito
>>7516427
Is that TB or is it a frozen burrito that you grilled?
kinda remembers me the first tiem I tried an alabama hotpocket
How the FUCK do I make a good grilled chicken salad?
If it takes more than 20 minutes of prep, which restaurant has the best grilled chicken salad?

How do you grill chicken salad?
today I found and purchased 1 (one) of pic relateds. a cactus leaf or paddle.
what do I do with it?
has /ck/ ever cooked with them before?
google turns up a lot of recipes for "cactus salad," in which the paddles are grilled, diced, and tossed with tomatoes, cheese, cilantro, peppers, avocado, lettuce, etc. apparently it's traditional mexican cuisine.
besides a cactus salad, what does /ck/ do with a cactus leaf?
leave them in the desert
>>7516284
Remove spine clusters if not already removed, with a knife layed flat againsed the pads. Dice and simmer with a little onion and salt until tender but still with some crunch like any good boiled vegetable. This parboil will remove a lot of the slime. discard cooking water and rinse.
I like it mixed with scrambled eggs, or cooked in red chile sauce, sometimes with diced beef sometimes without. I don't care for salad, its too slimy for me. I'm sure you could use it like okra, it is very similar in texture once cooked but it has a mild acidic note to it. I learned all this from my Sinaloan mother in law.
I found this video of someone's sweet abuela cooking nopales but idek about her methods

You're stuck on a deserted island with a lifetime supply of one food and one food only
What would you want that food to be? can be anything
If It's a complex sauce can I take the ingredients and make them something else?
pollo en mole poblano in any case. I can't get enough of that shit
Fish
Do you mean like a food like a Hamburger? Id have to say hamburgers.
Any bakers on this board? I'm having an issue with hamburger buns that I am making. They are coming out almost biscuit like in density, I'm actually looking to create that almost Burger King like bun that is very flat and has elasticity.
The recipe I'm using:
3-3.5 cups of AP Flour
3 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp salt
1 pack instant rise yeast
1 egg
1 cup warm milk
3 tbsp melted butter
>>7515987
How much water (%hydration) are you using?
What's your proofing process?
too much butter and/or wrong flour, use a bread flour with high protein and gluten.
It would help if you also specified your method.
>>7515999
I don't really think a proper bread flour should matter in this case. Firstly, no decent dough should be creating a biscuit-like density whether using AP or not. Secondly, I don't think OP is really looking for decent gluten development (even if he does use the word 'elasticity'. He wants a BK-like bun after all.
Going to a Japanese supermarket tonight. Give me some Japanese recipes and ingredients. No sushi though.
also what the fuck kind of noodles do I use for ramen? am i suppose to just use that awful block from instant ramen or is there something better?
>> kind of noodles do I use for ramen
Ramen noodles. That's what they're called. Though all sorts of other noodles can be used if you like, there's a zillion varieties of Ramen and different sorts of noodles are used.
Useful ingredients from a Japanese market:
Kewpie mayo
Yuzu juice
Mirin
Sake (for cooking with)
Katsuobushi
Miso paste
Nori, Konbu
Shichimi Togarashi
Sesame oil, sesame seeds
>>7515951
Get some wasabi and eat your steak with it senpai
Ive been wanting to do that fug
>>7515951
asian markets have a very large noodle sections. they also usually have fresh made noodles. if you plan on making ramen i hope you have all day. making the stock takes a while.
If whiskey and water is acceptable, why not scotch and soda?
Does carbonation really spoil the taste that much?
Nah, it's fine. It's OK to have preferences, anon. Just don't try to have a serious conversation with connoisseurs when you're not participating at the same level as them. That's where the line is, anon.
>>7515770
Scotch attracts more purists that will bitch about it. It's your drink, ruin it however you want.
>>7515770
Whiskey and water is only acceptable to some. Same with scotch and soda.
Who the fuck even likes these pieces of shit?
Also, ITT: Chocolate general
Looks like hot cum.
The Game Grumps like them
what the fuck OP. literally the only good chocolate
>>7515761
Mother would freeze them. I don't understand why.
My friend just called me and said he shot a wild hog while he was visiting his dad in the south. He cleaned it and brought it back in his freezer in his RV and then put it in a freezer at his house but said he needs room for a deer and he asked if I wanted it, I said yes.
I would like to cook it over a fire.
I've never done that before.
Is any wood ok to use to put a stick though it and make the two Y's?
I was just going to make them with my chainsaw from trees that have fallen in my yard
How long should I cook it and how high?
Anyone ever done this?
Should I shave it first?
Like this
Its 120-140lbs he said
>>7515708
>Is any wood ok to use to put a stick though it and make the two Y's?
I'd suggest using metal. It takes a long time to cook a hog on a spit and the last thing you want is for your spit to burn through. You also need to come up with a method of firmly attaching the hog to the spit so that you can turn it. Without this the spit will just rotate inside the hog when you try to turn it and the hog will hang heavy-side-down.
>>how long
Depends entirely on the size of the hog, which you didn't bother to mention. The last time I did this I had a 55 lb hog (weight after gutting) and it took five hours.
>>shave it
Yes, you need to remove the hair. However if your friend said that he already cleaned it then he probably already did this. Typically you remove the hair before gutting the pig.
