Alright cu/ck/s I just got kicked out off my friend's couch. I stole 2 cans of Bush baked beans but got no opener. I have 9.66 to last me until he leaves for vacation in 3 weeks. I can get back in his apartment and get whatever I need then.
What do i buy so i dont die guys, ive done this with the same amount but only for 2 days and im worried
>>8915805
You can open a can with a knife. Google it.
If you can find a way to cook rice, you'll be completely set.
Isn't wonderbread like $1 a loaf?

>What do i buy so i dont die
A can opener?
This is the best cereal in existence.

Is Cheerios in the scripture?
>>8915782
Honey nut and frosted cheerios are also god-tier.

I want to try this, never seen it before.

Jimmies are the fucking best. In the summer, when I go to one of those gay ass frozen yogurt places, I always put a shit load of jimmies on top of mine. FUCKING DELIGHTFUL.

Hot sauce making and general spicy thread?
Just made my first hot sauce, used habaneros fresnos and jalapenos plus other ingredients. Blended all together. Do you guys prefer blending or vinegar soak sauces?
>>8915657
I made a 3% brine fermented tabasco last year because I saw a thread here on it. Came out much better than the vinegar based I'd always done before. I'm not posting a pic because I did yesterday and when I've posted duplicate pics in the homebrew thread some autist always starts wailing about it. I ground them with the brine, but I'm going to just leave the habaneros that I'm growing this year halved. The flavor of fermented is much deeper than vinegar brined.
I've been wanting to make some using the simple louisana copycat recipe but for the life of me I can't find anyone selling red jalapenos in kansas city. I might have to grow my own.
>>8915657
Vinegar but not too heavy. Actually I would prioritize an old bottle of wine that is becoming vinegar to store-bought...but I digress.
Thai hot chilies all day, reduce the sauce to your hotness level.
Folks, I've been charged with bringing a side-dish to a pot luck.
The main dish will be a sort of beef brisket and I know there's already a salad dish & some some potato based dish.
This leaves me some kind of vegetable based dish, but I don't want to bring a boring bucket of brusselsprouts.
Any suggestions to keep it complimentary yet interesting ?
Roasted corn on the cob with chile-lime-tequila butter.
>Shuck corn
>mix together a stick of softened, unsalted butter, juice of one large lime or several key limes, salt to taste, pepper, a tablespoon of tequila, and minced serrano chile.
>Rub down each ear of corn with the butter (it's helpful to wear disposable gloves while doing this
>wrap in foil and either grill right before you leave (or you can roast them in the oven), or take along and throw on the host's grill (get permission first, of course).
You can't go wrong with
Man you lucky, I love smoked brisket.

Southern style green beans.
Does anyone else not actually eat sunflower seeds?
I just suck on them until they stop tasting like anything then spit them out.
>>8915564
>I just suck on them until they stop tasting like anything then spit them out.
I thought I was the only one who did this.
>>8915564
No. That's just dumb. You don't get the catharsis that is crunching into the kernel after opening the shell
maybe stop being a fuckin nancy and eat unflavored sunflower seeds
I need one of these. What food scale do you use /ck/?
>>8915560
One that gives me a readout and one that was on discount at a cheap shop. All it does is measure the amount of weight on it. I don't even understand why the one in your image has three buttons. One button for setting the scale to 0 with a bowl on it and an on/off button would be enough. 2 buttons. Nuff said.
>>8915560
one that goes down to 0.1 grams for when I need to add less than a gram of an ingredient to my food.
>>8915560
>I need one of these.
Why? I'm dying to know
So my dad's birthday is coming up and I wanted to get him a beer brewing kit but I don't wanna get him a premade kit cuz a) he hates that shit and he appreciates the DIY effort and b) all the ones I see are overpriced as fuck
So I was wondering can I get all the stuff at home depot and similar shops or is there a specialty store that would have all the shit I need?
From his explanation he made it seem like all I would need is a 5 gallon jug, a couple stoppers, bottles, and ingredients, obviously, which I'm still looking for a good store to get them.
I live in LA if that helps
there are specialty brewing stores. i hope that la has a few, my area has one and we have 100k people max.
>>8915553
For the boil:
>turkey fryer with big kettles can be had at home depots. You can use your stove, but it just takes forever. You want to make at least a 5 gallon batch, and will need a 7 gallon pot so as to avoid spill over during the hot break.
>restaurant supply stores might be able to sell you cheaper big kettles and utensils than your homebrew shop, but maybe not.
Wort chiller:
>copper tube, hose clamps, and hose can be had at home depot
Fermenting:
>if using plastic, your fermenters need to be food-grade plastic, and your best bet for those, and the lids, are at restaurant supply stores or your home brew shop, if you can't find them at home depot.
>glass carboys might be found on craigslist for cheap from people who stopped brewing, if not, just buy them from a brew shop
Utensils
> like big spoons and whisks for stirring in shit and oxygenating your wort can be found at home brew shops, and maybe cheaper at restaurant supply stores
bottling and transfer of wort:
>can be taken care of by some simple plastic tubing you buy at any home depot, but brew shops sell some bottling tubes that are fairly reasonable
>bottle capper and caps - home brew shop
Kegging: home brew shop is your best bet. That or craigslist.
You'll want a hydrometer to determine original and final gravity readings too, and you'll need to get that at the home brew shop.
>>8915729
Wow thanks, that's super helpful.
Regarding ingredients, is there a certain brand that sticks out? Obviously different mixtures yield different results but can I get them anywhere or just at brew shops?
BBQ THREAD, bitches
dem herbs gonna burn on the grill bro
>>8915441
Nah
Let's grill! Don't you want to grill??
What are some good potato based dishes aside from the obvious mashed/baked?
I'm talking "main part of the meal" dishes. I was eating scalloped potatoes a lot mixed in with eggs but got sick of them, but I'm a poor fuckface and need to go back to eating them more
Boulangere, Dauphinoise, Gratin and Lemon & Herb.
With an egg and some flour you can make gnocchi. Filling, too, just toss em in a light brown butter sauce and you're good to go.
curried potatoes are pretty good.
Instead of going to culinary school could I just pat time at low grade restraunts to become a chef? Say I want to learn mexican qusine I work at a mexican restraunt with the sole purpose of learning then quit after a month?
>>8915305
>a month
kek
10 years.
Still learning.
I'll bet there's lots of things Ramsay doesn't know too.
at least where I live (/ck/anada) a lot of places want a certificate saying you've completed culinary schooling
Culinary school, as long as you're not going to some prissy faggot elitist institution, tend not to be very expensive and subsidized by the local community. You can even get scholarships for it. Take it.
Being a head chef isn't just about knowing how to make good food. It's about being competent enough to lead a team to productively and consistently deliver good food at a certain level of quality. You might say that's easy or something you can learn on the job, but most cooks you'll be leading are druggies and criminals.
OK so I'm going to start serving cocktails at my bar and I was wondering what a simple 10-12 cocktail menu should offer.
My clientelle is mostly teen kids that drink cubalibre or or fellas drinking 7&7's.
Also most of these drinks must be fast (or I can create premixes like margarita premix).
like 12 interesting distinctive cocktails or just 12 total?
>>8915238
ban mojitos
>>8915259
12 total, but I'd recommend and do interesting stuff for people should they seek anything else
> coriander
> especially Vietnamese coriander
>>8915132
>cilantro
>especially chino Mexicano cilantro.

Fish sauce.
Fermented, ie: rotten, fish guts juice.
I like your gook food, but this is too much.
keep that shit off my bahn mi, nguyen
I've been getting into canned fish a lot recently. It's hard to find good fresh fish where I live, so it's a good alternative.
I'm out of things to do with canned fish, though. Mix with avocado and tomatoes, done. Salad dressings, done. Pizzas and tarts, done.
So, /ck/, any good recipes, preferred brands and general tinned seafood discussion is welcome!
>>8915088
>add hot sauce
>apply to cracker
wah lah
>>8915088
I tried this recently and liked it:
Fry veg you want
Toss in a can of albacore tuna
Toss in beaten eggs and mix until cooked eggs cover everything
I put cumin, cayenne, curry powder, and salt in the pan and I beat Thai chili sauce, red chili paste, and soy sauce into the eggs.
Tates good to me but someone else tried it and didn't like it. So maybe it's awful and I can't tell.
>>8915100
I would try that with some trout or herring. Anchovies are a bit powerful for that.
Thanks though!
