So recently I have found a product at target. They are a 14 pack of mini cheese burgers. Microwaveable. I have bought them about five times now and they are so good. They go great with ketchup. A box of these fills me up real nice. They are under eight dollars. A good price for a good taste.
good for you

Nigger this ain't your fuckin' food value blog.
I just made beer bread. I added garlic and rosemary to it though.This isn't my pic, my phone is charging and the pic is on my phone. Anyways, this was the first time I ever made homemade bread, it was pretty fun. It came out tasting really good, but the bread came out a little flatish.
When I molded it, I made it loaf shaped, but it flattened when I let it rise before cooking it, and my apartment is a bit cold. After cooking it, I realized it was a little on the flat side. I used a little bit more water than the recipe called for because I couldn't get all the flour to mix.
So what do I need to fix? Less water, or shape it better?
>>9044671
Did you use baking powder or yeast in the recipe? If not, that's probably why. I don't think the carbonation from beer alone is enough to make bread rise. It's either got a rising agent like yeast or baking powder, or you have to use a beer that hasn't been pasteurized and still has active yeast in it.
Could also be that it was too dense. Dense bread dough won't allow for big air bubbles to form, so maybe add more liquid.
Can you post the recipe you used?
>>9044709
I used yeast.
It was this recipe.

Hmm. That recipe is already at a fairly high hydration percentage, so you shouldn't have had to add more water. Did you measure the flour properly? If you don't have a scale to weigh it, spoon the flour into a measuring cup then level it off. If you just scoop the flour with the measuring cup, it'll get packed in there and you'll end up using more flour which could make the dough drier.
It's also normal for it to spread out and flatten a bit after shaping, unless you use a mold or something to help it keep its shape. Try shaping it in a way that'll help it spread out less, with the seam tucked underneath to give it more stability.
And if you don't have a super sharp knife or razor to cut the top, you can just skip that part or you'll end up making the dough deflate by dragging the knife through it.
what country has the best cuisine and why is it Thailand?
thai food has too much peanut in it, and vietnamese uses too much anise in everything.
I'd say "just remove that from the dish" but then you're just eating crappy cantonese dishes.
>>9044638
>too much peanut
peanut is a great addition to almost any meal
>>9044669
I hate the taste of peanuts, and it pierces through the flavor of any dish its put in, so I avoid it like the plague.

Beef Wellington is either exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. There are no mediocre ones.

How do I cook a great sirloin steak on the grill? Marinate? Just salt and pepper? Educate me
>>9044511
Microwave on high for 10 to 25 minutes.
Your welcome.
Pic not mine btw. /ck/ I can't stop making pot roast. This is the third week I've made one. Mine has more vegetable though, and I go back and forth on adding potatoes.
Not only is pot roast delicious, but its also a really economical dish. Like it costs $25 and lasts me 6 days, for 2 meals each day.
I like to pick and choose from the following:
2lb+ Chuck Roast or Eye of Round Roast
Carrot
Onion
Celery
Mushroom
Peas
Zucchini
Yellow Squash
Olives
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Potato
Snap Peas
Garbanzo Beans
I'm eating a bowl as I type this. Anyone else like pot roast?
Probably my favorite food
Although I like it to be closer to goualsh. Not really a soup but not just meat and vegetables either. More like where everything falls apart and forms like a sauce
>>9044497
I like it, but I don't make it quite so often. I also don't get as adventurous with the vegetables as you. I go with the traditional potatoes, onions, carrots, and celery. What seasonings you using anon? Do you sear before you roast?
>>9044512
I always sear. The last two weeks I also happened to be making some taco meat outside on the grill with a cast iron pan, because its starting to get hot enough that I'll try to do more cooking outside. Anyway I seared the roasts on the grill, adds some smokiness I think.
Like the vegetables, seasonings vary. I usually try to pair them with the vegetables I'm using:
Garlic, fresh crushed or diced
pepper
salt
chilli flakes
Fresh rosemary
Fresh marjoram
Fresh Basil
Bay leaves
Ground Chipotle
Cayenne
Paprika
Or I get lazy and just throw in a liptons onion soup packet. Another thing I always do is use Beef stock. It just ends up being better than water and "better than bouillon".

Health-wise is it worse than any other sugar?
Do you use it when a recipe calls for it or do you swap it with another sugar?
What are you actually asking? Just looks like a pack of regular white sugar to me
>>9044379
I'm asking whether or not you think white sugar is inherently less healthy than less processed sugars, like brown or cane sugar.
>>9044400
Why didn't you just ask that in the first place then?
What is the difference between white sugar and cane sugar? Where I live, all sugar originates from cane sugar, be it raw, white or something else.
What are the best kinds of foods to bring on a desert camping trip? I'm about to go backpacking in the Nevada desert for the first time with friends, I need ideas for foods that won't go bad easily in the heat and need minimal water to prepare. We'll have a couple of pots and pans and that's about it as far as cookware goes.
Pic related, I'm probably going to end up dying out there but I'd like to eat something other than granola or dried banana chips before I do.
>>9044234
bring the driest, hardest, and most of all dehydrating (think sugars, alcohol, spicy) foods you can
like hard tack, or spicy beef jerky
>>9044234
How far are you going and will there be water available enroute or will you be packing in the 1+ gal you'll need each day?
>>9044234
dry salami, babybel cheese will be fine in heat, depending on your water situation dehydrated food is the best way to go but it again it depends on alot of things like how much water you have access to and how youre getting it, weight constrictions, duration of your trip, etc
>ranch vs blu-chz wing dipping sauce
why don't somebody just make bleu cheese ranch already
>Dipping your wings in fucking anything
You disgust me

me and my new room mates first time going family-sized shopping. we TRIED making everything vegan.
1: how the fuck did we do
2: the fuck do we do with all this
>>9043965
Why do you have so much soda? You're not going to get any healthier eating vegan if you're thirsting your quench with that much sugar.
Hiding your thread early to minimize the amount of faggotry I am subjected to.
>>9043965
try googling if jif peanut butter is vegan :^)
and then kill yourself faggot
My first Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte.
What do you guys think?
>>9043822
Next time top it with chocolate curls instead of the same flakes on the side
>>9043822
Bretty gud.
Not sure why you used chocolate flakes instead of chocolate shavings though.
I also hope you used Kirschwasser in the frosting.
>>9043827
Sorry that cake was for my cousin (she's 9) and my mom said I shouldn't use alcohol.
How does someone make stews in a slowcooker? last time i tried it was so tasteless and horrible i just thew it out, any recipes i should try out? and how do you guys do stock? are stock cubes acceptable?
>>9043773
Tips would be to sear the beef, always make your own stock, and preferably don't use a slow cooker. I know it's a convenience, but you then miss the opportunity of things than can be done in the dutch oven like searing meat, sweating onions, frying aeromatics, browning the veg, or having the all-directional heat of an oven instead of the bottom.
That being said, the convenience of a slow cooker can still turn out a good stew.
>>9043773
>real stock
>brown meat
>fresh, whole spices
>add veg no more than an hour or two before eating or itll just make them bland
>>9043815
That explains why the veg i put in the slowcooker ended up tasting like dirt! Thanks
Do people actually buy the snacks/gumballs from these machines at malls and department stores?? How is this sanitary? How long have they been in there?
>>9043665
I did when I was a kid.
Kids don't care.
I did when I was kid and I don't think I ever got sick from it.
It's probably more sanitary than 99% of fast food locations. It's just sugar encased in glass.
So I found some of this stuff at the Asian Market. Durian fruit is known for making westerners vomit, even though Asian people seem to love it. Even Andrew Zimmern gags on durian fruit. I was smelling the bottle and although the smell is pretty faint since it's just a flavoring, it's smells like mixture of onions and dead skunk on the side of the road. I'm wondering what I should make with it. I don't see any recipes for it, although one blog suggested making ice cream with it. I do have a good gelato machine. Any suggestions? Perhaps we have some Asians here who actually know just what the fuck durian flavoring is used for. If I puke after eating it I'll be sure to post pics.
Drinks and baking is my guess.
>>9043648
I was kind of wondering about drinks. Maybe they put it in tea or something.
>>9043637
Oh no durian artificial flavour is quite gross and a sub par ingredient for cooking. If you dont like durian to begin with then expect disappointment because its like lemon rind which is mainly used for a flavour kick.
