How the fuck am I supposed to properly use this?
Some people say you should fill up the coffee filter all the way up. Others say you have to give it a little space on top.
Some people say you should put cold water in the bottom. Others say you should heat the water first, then put it in so the heat doesn't burn the coffee.
Some people say you should use medium heat. Others say you should use high heat, then drop it to low once the coffee starts coming out.
What the fuck, man?
I fill the filter all the way up.
I boil the water first.
I use medium heat and turn it off when the coffee coming out turns a honey-ish color.

>obvious American not doing it the Italian way

The Italian way is to overfill the filter and try to compress it like an espresso puck which never works out right

This is code speak for: I hate getting laid by mediocre chicks.
Being well known at a food joint is pretty dope if it's not in lame setting. Nothing's better than a warm welcome and a "will it be the regular?" It sounds like a corny tv sit com.
On the other hand, bring pegged a fast food regular can be pretty demeaning

Man, fucking Pilgrim killjoys. Protestants over here don't have ANY good holidays because of their shit.
Goddamn, the fact that New Orleans, one of the poorest parts of the US makes this, and you sad midwestern sacks of lard think jelly donuts are special, says volumes about just how pathetically shitty your region is.

What are the spiciest dishes? Which country's cuisine is generally the spiciest?
>>7350126
no idea if it's the spiciest but I'm thinking Sichuan.
Italian
Thai food, no doubt.
Got a place in the city that is legit. I can eat and love spicy food, but their 5 stars is too much.
Apparently they roast and grind their own chili peppers for the powder. Fucking awesome.
What did your parents pour in your cereal when you were all out of milk?
Mine usually did apple juice. Was p good 2bh
>>7360636

If we ran out of milk for cereal, I had dry cereal.
Or oatmeal.
Or a Cereal Bar.
Who the fuck pours foreign liquids into cereal
>>7360636
>parents have to make your cereal
were you too retarded to be trusted with a gallon of milk anon?
>>7360636
When we ran out of milk my parents would go out and buy more because we weren't poor.

yesterday I put a whole chicken on, simmered 1hr removed meat. added bones back and continued to cook for additional 7-8hrs. reserved meat in fridge.
Today: skim solid chicken fat from stock
cup of flour, adding vegetable oil until smooth.
here's where Im at now, 30min in. Still probably has 20min to go.
Why are so many chefs fat slobs who smoke a pack of cigarettes a day?
What about the profession attracts these people?
The food?
>>7359881
Being a chef is one of the few existing jobs where you can be a tatted up disgusting ugly slob of a person and actually expect to advance, because literally no one but the other people in the back have to suffer through the sight of you.

Just got done with my Monday night ritual of preparing chicken reserves for the week. Basically I just fill a pot with water and boil whatever chicken I can get my hands on. Tonight I did 11 chicken thighs on a very slow simmer. 3 thighs at first for an hour or so and when they finished I took them out, slid the meat off the bones, threw the bones back in the pot and then added 4 more thighs. Rinse and repeat.
What can I do to flavor up the profile a bit? I don't want to add any salt, oil or butter but anything else would be fine. I also always have a shit ton of broth afterwards, anything creative I can do with it besides throw it away and drink some of it?
By the way I eat salads, fruits, nuts, sardines, tuna and other meats grilled or lightly fried. The chicken is for a fast protein snack I can throw on a salad or make a sandwhich with mayo from.
Nigga season that shit, rub some paprika into those thighs like they are Margaret Thatcher
>>7358514
Add protein powder to it you miserable maggot.
you could try making it like a chicken stock.
roast some mirepoix, get bay leaves, peppercorns, thyme, rosemary in a satchet and keep it in there to give it some nice flavor without salt.
Don't forget to deglaze your stock too, with a red wine or a vinegar or even a red wine vinegar
