nothing beats one singular mushroom in a bowl of milk

>>9267272
That's a mushroom in sauce. Milk does not qualify as a broth.

>>9267256
Looks delicia.

A carboy like your photograph depicts is pretty much necessary (I say pretty much, because you could use brew-pails, or really any container that would seal with an airlock).

You want honey and soft water - you can use distilled, but you may/will want to add a tiny bit of calcium and magnesium salts to keep the yeasts in a happy pH zone, with some electrolytes to help them stay hydrated.

A mead-specific yeast is your best bet, but really any reasonably low-phenol, high-temp, high-tolerance yeast should do the trick.

Really all you should need at that point is honey. I've had good results sticking to a beer-brewing kind of bill - about 10lbs of honey for 5 gals of final product (so about 6-6.5 gals of water to start).

There are resources out there. Even something like the Brewer's Friend app can be indispensable.

>get some wine
>stir some honey in
done.

Saffron.

Paprika.

What the fuck is it for it just tastes like dirt.

Something that's pretty much useless, like rhubarb or rutabagas.

You said it all, brother.

Did it come wrapped in plastic wrap and you forgot to take it off?

>>9266778
leeks taste fucking great, it's like onion without the sharp overpowering taste

>>9266809
Nope.
>>9266923

Learn to make a decent hot breakfast. Eggs however you like them, bacon, sausage, or ham, toast or biscuits, oatmeal or cream of wheat.

Learn to make a couple pasta sauces. There's plenty of decent marinara sauces on the market, so don't worry about standing around stirring the Sunday gravy for an hour, but at least learn to do a basic alfredo, a basic garlic-wine sauce, and maybe a basic pesto.

Learn to make soups, stews, and chili. They're easy, cheap, nutritious, delicious, and you can make them in bulk, eat for a couple days, and then freeze portioned-out bags for later.

Keep some basic seasoning blends around the house. Italian, taco seasoning, herbs de Provence, Cajun-Creole blackening, and maybe some Montreal steak seasoning will give you some variety.

Learn to cook a steak to temperature.

Learn to make a roux (equal parts flour and fat, whether it be butter or melted animal fat). Once you can make a roux, you can learn your Mother Sauces.

marinating

how long to cook a meat based on its temp / thickness

cooking things in a particular order due to different heat requirements. if you do stir fry im sure you already do this.

- A chicken roast
- Preserved food (sourkraut, pickled veggies, jam)
- Chili
- Stock

Well, that doesn't really help me find this particular variety of pot.
Suppose I tried to go online and find it, that shit's impossible.

I'm moving soon and I think I'd benefit from having a thicc pot for various purposes, but I doubt the place I'm going to will just have random Asian stores that stock thicc pots.

A good knife is a genuine pleasure to use.

>>9266675
what kind of knife is that?

do americans REALLY do this?

Try 2-3 ounces of liquor per 12 ounce glass, with three ice cubes and fill the rest of the glass with your Dr Pepilepsy. One glass should have you feeling a bit nice, maybe two for tipsy. But be CAREful. Don't get fucked up unless you're planning on it. You are a precious babby.

>>9266612
Follow me on this, because there's some complicated math involved.

You need to drink until you feel tipsy, OP.

Were you expecting a serious answer? Body weight, meals eaten, family history and genetics, personal tolerance all affect how you'll react to alcohol.

>hear about butter chicken and think it's some sort of rich, sweet chicken dish
>actually some nasty indian curry shit
I was a little disappointed.

>>9265973
butter chicken is alright but not as good as lamb vindaloo

Bonus points to the first anon to guess the restaurant correctly.
