If the components of (homemade) mayonaise are inherrently healthy, what is it about the sum of its parts that makes it unhealthy?
It's not unhealthy in small doses, but because of its high fat content it can be easy to go over your fat macros for the day
>>7326155
This. Mayo is almost all fat.
Because the ratio is something like 1:1:50.
It's basically just oil with a dash of emulsifiers and seasonings.
How do you make chicken breast taste good with minimal carbohydrates?
hot sauce
If not frying, then simmer with your favorite vegetables and spices.
If you just blast white meat with heat for a long time, it'll turn out dry as fuck.

Chicken breast is very versatile...

I moved to California from the DC area, and I just can't come to prefer Dungeness over Chesapeake Bay blue crabs. Texture and flavor-wise, they just seem to knock the Dungeness out of the ring.
>"You just drown them in Old Bay."
Yeah, and Old Bay paired with sweet blue crab meat is a divinely intended combination.
>"It takes longer to pick out the meat."
It's a fucking crustacean. You can take a little extra time.
Not to mention fried soft-shell blue crab.
I'm not gonna touch Alaskan King or Snow Crab cause that's a whole other tier. Summer just isn't the same without a brown paper tablecloth, a bushel of blue crab, and cold beer. It's iconic.
Explain if you prefer Dungeness.

Lobster is GOAT
>>7326089
Holy fuck I miss Down East Maine. Stayed in a cabin with some family friends once. They fed us a fucking cooler of over a dozen lobster. Price? $100.
I can't imagine getting that price anywhere else.
>meme food
So when does thos trend stop? After about a week of lurking, it seems that literally every food anyone enjoys is a meme.
I blame Wikipedia.

Stew is a very forgiving thing to make. Google a few recipes and pick one that looks good to you or pick and choose different aspects from all of them.

I'm not sure how to break down a good general purpose stew. But here's a specific beef stew recipe that works really well for me:
Get your beef in full cuts, not "stew cuts". Those will be too small, and you'll have no idea what they're from. I like chuck roast for stew.
I cut it into steaks, season it 24 hours ahead (salt and pepper), then sear it in the stew pot over ripping. After it's rested a few minutes I cut it into the big chunks (1.25 inches maybe) that I'll use later.
I saute my aromatics in a separate pan, in the rough order of how long they take to cook (eg, carrots for a bit, then celery and mushrooms, then onions, then garlic). For stew I tend to cut onions in half circles, rather than dicing it.
I deglaze the stew pot, usually with a bit of sherry or wine (do not use cooking wine, over salted filth; deglaze basically means boil just a bit of liquid on top of some seared brown bits stuck to the bottom of a pan, scrape with a wooden spoon while boiling). After that I add either home made chicken stock or some Better Than Bouillon in water plus gelatin; either way, I add a shit load of Worcestershire, and sometimes some fish sauce. I usually add a small can of tomato paste. This is when I add seasonings. Salt, pepper, home made chili powder, some herbs (fresh thyme, oregano, dried bay leaves, usually). Then potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes, and the reserved beef cubes and their juices.
I prefer gold potatoes for, well, actually almost literally everything. Reds will keep more texture. Russets will break down and kind of thicken the soup a bit more.
I simmer on the stove for like, 45 minutes. Until the potatoes are fork tender.
Actually, my beef stroganoff is similar, though I use no potatoes, sirloin, less stock, no carrots or celery, a shallot, and temper in a pint of sour cream near the end.
is this true? I've heard so many horror stories on the internet and shit about hotdogs but all seem to ignore this one simple fact: that hotdogs are natural ingredients
Is what true?
>>7325464
Pretty sure he's saying that they didn't go to the hot dog tree and pick a hot dog. The hot dog is made out of ingredients. It isn't an ingredient
>>7325470
this is what I used to think too but this picture changed my life

>it's pleb to keep the flavour of the fruit but cut off some of the heat

As a big fan of liqueurs, I'm going to try to make some homemade fruit liqueurs today.
The plan is to use high ABV grain alcohol in orange zest for one batch, with thinly sliced, ripe peaches in another, and with berries in the third, which may be a combo of two berries, or just raspberries.
Orange liqueur--in the thread yesterday, there was some confusion about adding juice. One anon said to add compound syrup made partly from juice, but it wasn't exactly clear WHEN to add it--directly into the zest/grain alcohol the same day you add zest to the booze? Researching other recipes didn't tell me anything about juice. It seems fine not to add it at all, but want to consider it if it enhances the flavors.
Everything else seems pretty clear. I'm going to ripen the peaches as much as I can with brown bags, and I've read it's best to mash up berries a bit before you add them to the booze. Any thoughts on that?
Also--I've seen variations in wait times, but what's optimum? Leave the fruit in for 4 weeks, or is 2 just about as good? Then add the syrup and wait for another 2-4 weeks? What have you guys found are the best steeping/aging times? I guess it might vary on fruit type as well.
any advice /ck/?
>>7324497
google limoncello recipes, and go from there. you typically mix with simple syrup or another sugar AFTER the zest has sat on the liquor for however long you plan on (months usually). use everclear or some higher proof alcohol, it works much faster at extracting fruit flavors than vodka does.
you can always taste periodically, but I usually let the zests soak at least a month.
>>7324497
Start with Mead. It's the simplest thing in the world. From there learn to distill. Finally, perfect.
Also pee where's the alck thread wife drove me to drink
What do I do with these?
I have bullion, green onions, chicken, soy sauce, garlic, onions and a bunch of spices; basically I want them the fuck out of my kitchen cabinet and not in the trash

Throw them out the window at the nearest hipster

weep because you don't have rice sticks. if you had rice sticks you'd be able to make superior Vietnamese food and if my dad ever found out I wrote that he'd probably murder me.
Or.. you could take said noodles, read instructions on prepping them and just make a fucking soup outta that shit.
Soak in warm water
stir fry with what you got on hand
eat
Yum.
Can you eat a crave case?

Is that White Castle? If so, I never had it, probably never will.
I did half of one (15?) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and felt like shit for the rest of the night and most of the next day.
I honestly wish I enjoyed pot so I could go out and binge on garbage like that without having to go through the drive through.
