Old ck thread. All I'm seeing is shit posting recently.

I have no family in the US other than my brother and sister. Sis is going to her in-laws and bro's going to his. So I'm all alone on TG. :-(
However! My friends and I have a post-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving on the second Saturday of December.

I'm bringing a cheesecake. Also either two homemade loaves of bread, one crusty sourdough and the other English country, or a basket of biscuits/scones of mixed variety.
I've learnt that my Amerifriends and I have very different tastes in food and the only thing we agree on are carbs.
The friend hosting is roasting a pair of chickens, preparing some boxes of Stove Top stuffing and opening a jar of chicken gravy.

I start a legit thread and it instantly get full of /pol/shit

today I made indian korma with cheese and spinach, spagetti bolognaise, some oven samosas, home-made museli and green tea flavoured pocky

we are mostly still here. Japan man is gone for months at a time. What you have to understand is that most of the human population is insane and retarded. ck is not some magical place devoid of all human stupidity and hate. If people ignored the bullshit and only posted in relevant threads those would disappear. But so many idiots like that garbage that they take up most of this board.

Anyway check this out.

then the unbearable waves of /pol/ threads and jokes

many users now can't cook, full stop
they are only interested in talking about their foul fast foods, and their paltry home recreations of them

no more are he regular home made breads, chacuterie, chineese threads
and the ethnic threads are just full of assholes from other countries telling white man to stop trying

Kitchen only.

My typical method for ribs is to put on any dry rub/spices first, bake them at 250 for about 4 hours, then finish at 350 for about 10 min/side. If adding sauce I do it in the last 20 minutes.

These days I tend to do big batch stuff on weekends to get me through the workweek. If you do something like this you can massively cut down on your total cooking time/week and still eat home food.

Main things I do:

Chili
Chicken, beef, shrimp, lamb, or just lentil curry
Various soups
Lamb, beef or rabbit stew
Meatballs + sauce (just make some pasta and then throw together)

Last time I did meatballs I just baked like 2.5kg worth in the oven at the same time, then you can just add them to sauce+pasta easy. If you want to go carb-light or wheat/gluten-free, spaghetti squash is a decent substitute for pasta.

Pic related is some big-batch lentil curry.

my noodle soup is getting stronger

going to try make my own lap cheong sausage because store bought is too expensive and full of shit

>>7076083
>lap cheong is too expensive
What's too expensive for you? I'm quite the frugal/miserly curmudgeon yet I think $4.49/lb in my area is a pretty good price. There's a cheaper one that's $3.99 or $3.49/lb (forgot which since I don't buy it), but it's not nearly as good, so I'm okay with getting the slightly costlier one.

>tfw comfy sunday afternoon thread

>>7076042
>spreading lies on the internet
kill yourself

>>7076094
living in different countries the cost can be relative, and so is hard to fully explain

for one serve of sausage, I get twenty serves of vegetables, or nine serves of fresh rice noodle

it is much more expensive then chicken for instance, a few sausages cost the same as a large pre-prepared hen

the fat content is so high, most of the meat is b or c grade, and I find the ammount of sugar unpalatable, an the ammount of MSG difficult to regulate

by themselves it is OK, but in a soup the MSG leaks out, so it's hard to know how much I should add myself

Dear Janitors...

Is pretty obvious ck gets trolled by a small group of cunts. Start a legitimate thread, and is guaranteed by the second or third post the thread is derailed by bullshit /b/ or /pol/ replies. Even /b/ isn't this bad.

Every other channel I frequent is nothing like this. It's pathetic too. 4ch is a perfect venue for this topic and what is available elsewhere else is a joke.

Obviously the crash course top secret training you received when you became volunteer janitors had nothing to do with vision. Not legality. You just wanted to feel in control, unfortunately not in control of a communication channel's value. It is obvious when you look at the posts that are removed... Always butthurt niche slights to your imaginary power. The trolls will undoubtedly keep that in mind while pissing on floor and smearing poop on the walls of the virtual toilet /ck/ that you will probably not clean up anyway.

>>7076778
Jesus, 30 people? You should have 4 helpers available.

>>7077341
Just keep reporting and I'm sure things will stabilize.

It's interesting how such a small cadre of posters can do so much damage, but it's not just /ck/. It seems they go to every board, go to every thread on the front page, and shit it up. Started maybe a year or two ago.

Does that redneck shitposter still post here?

my favorite thanksgiving recipe is a twist on the normal sweet potato dishes everyone usually has.

bake, peel, and mash a shitton of sweet potatoes.
add butter, heavy cream, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper to taste.
add dried cranberries and chopped up roasted poblano peppers. you can just set them on a gas stove and char them all over, or bake on a foil-lined cookie sheet until tender and blackened in some places.

mix it all together, and top with a normal streusel-type topping (cut together butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and oats or pecans or whatever else you like until it forms course crumbs)

bake that shit till the topping is golden brown.
it's sweet and spicy and savory and it's my favorite way to eat sweet potatoes.

>>7077560
This was the best decision they ever made.
FPFJ is the ultimate shit-posting.

>>7075997
let your blueberries soak in lemon juice for just about 10 minutes and then toss them in flour to coat. the lemon juice will preserve the color and the flour will prevent them from bleeding out into the bread.

I picked up this technique making strawberry banana bread. baked strawberries look shitty unless you prepare them right.

>>7077449
250g powdered sugar (1 heaping cup)
100g baking sugar (almost 1/2 cup)
250g butter (2&1/4 sticks)
1 egg
5mL vanilla extract (1 tsp)
5mL almond extract
600g all-purpose flour (roughly 2&1/3 cups)
5g baking soda (1 tsp)
5g cream of tartar
Salt
Raw or dyed sugar for topping

Blend the sugars, egg & extracts with the butter & set aside. Mix the baking soda, cream of tartar, flour & a pinch of salt with wet ingredients. Cover the dough & refridgerate or let it sit in a cool place for an hour. Split the mix in half & start rolling one side flat on a lightly floured tabletop or kneading board.

Once flattened to around 6-7mm(1/4"), cut into desired shapes & sprinkle with topping sugar. Repeat with the other half of the dough & you're set to bake. Temp is @375F for 7-10 mins. This recipe should yield around 40 medium-sized cookies.

When referring to a computer mouse, the plural is 'mouses.'
When referring to a biological mouse, the plural is 'mice.'
Similarly, when referring to a computer virus, the plural is viruses but when referring to a biological virus, the word 'virus' is a mass noun and therefore has no direct plural, although New Latin uses viri and vïra as plural forms.

My family have always used moka pots for brewing coffee which are basically mini-pressure-cookers.
In my life, I've seen that explode twice: once, when I was eight and we had newly moved to SG, my sister was brewing a pot for the family and did /something/ wrong. The range hood was dented as the top-half of the pot shot skyward, spewing coffee-flavoured napalm in all directions. By some luck, none of us were hit.
The second time was a few years ago. My parents came to visit me and my sister in Manhattan and it happened again: kaboom! This time, besides just denting the range hood, the top-half ricocheted and made a whole in the wall, as well. Thankfully, no one got hurt this time, either.
My sister suffers from Hot Girl Syndrome wherein she needn't ever be intelligent nor good at anything because she's a Hot Girl™. She's about as clever as an arsehole full of Smarties.

Alright, if you had parsley, garlic and lemon peel in there, what you did is basically gremolata. Next time cook the mushrooms without gremolata and stir it in after you take it off from heat, toss around a bit and serve. I never cooked my mushrooms a different way after I figured this out, it's amazing.

As for this thread's intention... well, I make a pizza pretty much every single weekend. There was a time period in my life where I made a pizza every day or every other day for months at a time. And that went on for a few years.

I still make pizza A LOT, but I don't see the point in posting it anymore, usually. Its probably boring to most people anyway. Although I did change up the toppings this time to a new mix I hadn't done yet before. Salami + mushroom. Tasted fucking killer, btw.

last few weeks full of carbonara threads actually hurt

Bought some awesome beef (or rather veal? - 11 month old bull) two weeks ago. some shoulder (1,2kg) and some 'topside without cap' (best translation I found) (1,5kg). Portioned and froze most of it.

Made some Rindsrouladen with roasted buttercup squash as a side with the latter and a nice beef ragout with spaghetti squash with the former.

next date for some premium meat is some time in February - fuck my lack of freezer space. I'm very close to buying a small one for myself.
