Who rainy-day food here /ck/? Big ol rainstorm moving through

>>8930089
So you eat shit when the weather doesn't fit your mood? Just curious.

>>8930121

Don't be dense. It's nice to have lasagna, mac n cheese, other comfort foods on a day of bad weather.

>>8930128
Funny you should mention that. I'm making a huge lasagna for the boys today and it's raining outside. But we gotta get this fence up, rain or shine!

Just going to buy lasagna right now for tomorrow. I can get a 1 kilo casserole for like 2.5 Euros.

the grease in that looks delicious

well done op. im north of the border and the rains coming in here too.. may hit up a French bistro with the girlfriend later

>>8930128
>comfort foods

it's terms like this that made the millennials into manchildren

>>8930089
Bruh that looks comfy AF. I love bad weather and eating comfy foods in the storm.

Chicken soup, my friends. Chicken soup.

>>8930089

Gyoza is my go-to rainy day food.

>>8930089
I checked with my gf, and we both agree it's Beef Stew. However, she gave second place to Mac & Cheese with bacon.

We agreed that the beef stew would be cooked traditionally over 6 hours, but plated with pumpernickel toast strips for dipping. Although we could not agree on a garnish.

Does beef stew even warrant a fucking garnish?

>>8930583
what kind of pasta is that? is it pasta?

The weather in BK is garbage today, but last night my drunk ass actually thought ahead and mixed up some dough to make some bread. Gonna cook it in an hour or so, and am trying to decide what kind of soup to make. I have all the ingredients to make chili, but feeling kinda meh about it. Suggestions?

>>8930731
aye whattup BK
i've just been steaming veggies all day. what neighborhood are you in?

>>8930713
Not him but it looks like israeli pearl couscous. Hard to tell without knowing the size of the spoon though.

>>8930733
Windsor Terrace, you?

>>8930734
looks like pastina

>>8930736
Dumbo, jealous of your being so close to the park. Biked through it last night at midnight, it was great. That dough looks good

>>8930750
Living a block from the park is the best, not gonna lie. As a femanon, I tend to not go through the park past 11 or so, unless there's a concert going on. A few years ago there was a serial rapist in PS/WT, so it kinda soured me on last night excursions through the park.

The dough is pretty much doubled at this point — it's 2 cups all purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 tsp yeast, a heaping 1 tsp salt, a few shakes of nutritional yeast, and 1 3/4 cup water. It's my first time making a traditional slow rise bread, so I'm curious to see how it turns out.

>>8930758
Jesus christ, that's horrifying.

Nice one, please post it when it's done, I love looking at bread! I'm going to trader joe's to get some ingredients for carrot cake. I think that's a good rainy day thing to do

>>8930758
What the fuck is nutritional yeast?

>>8930731
You should make chili. That's perfect grub for this kind of weather.

>>8930786
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_yeast

>>8930778
Will do! And carrot cake sounds like a good rainy day thing to cook.

>>8930786
It's a deactivated form of yeast (different from bread/brewer's yeast) that has a nutty, rich flavor.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_yeast

>>8930654
Just sprinkle some chives on that shit. Everything looks good with chives

>>8930791
Yeah, fuck it, it's cool and rainy and I've got plenty of time. Chili it is.

Update: time for the second rise. The dough is stickier than the times I've made "quick rise" bread, but hopefully it'll turn out well. It's resting while the dutch oven preheats. Post carrot cakes pics when you're making it — I've never made carrot cake before.

>>8931034
loooking handsome breeaad
still haven't gone to the store bc of the rain. but i think i just have to make myself go, i don't think it's going to stop

If that dish looks good to you, that's fine, but I'm a trashy tex-mex slathered in cheese asshole and to me that looks fucking gross.

Either way if you enjoyed it, good for you OP

>>8931044
It's definitely gonna gonna stop raining any time soon, unfortunately.

>>8930169
what the fuck does this term even mean?
is it something you know is shit but you still eat compulsively because you're a depressed, pathetic fuck?

>>8931104
>>8930169

Imagine being this angry about a common term for food that you indulge in because makes you feel happy.

>>8930089
dude, why did you cook the clams with the shells still in there? seems like an inefficient way of utilizing the cheese imo. Now you're going to waste twice as much time scraping the cheese sauce off of the shells.

Do advise.

>>8931111
all good food makes me feel happy, I don't need to eat a casserole or mac'n'cheese to feel happiness
is it something like a guilty pleasure then?

>>8931094
it looks like shit, but i like gordon memesey anyways

>>8931117
stuffed PASTA shells you doofus

>>8931111
Don't worry about it. They're jealous /fit/fucks whose idea of food is steamed tasteless chicken breast, a couple of green veg, a steamed starch with no seasoning and a steroid smoothy for dessert.

Comfort food for me is always roast whole chicken with oyster bread dressing, mashed potatoes and a gravy made from the drippings with fresh baked bread because the entire house aroma makes you salivate and after you eat, you really feel comfortable.

But I'd take a homemade lasagne in a heartbeat, as well.

>>8931163
>anyone who is more healthy than me takes steroids
>vegetables are icky
really helping your case here, fatty

this is my first post ITT btw

>>8931158
suddenly many of the discussions in this thread make complete sense.

thanks for clarifying

>>8931163
I just think the term is stupid and conjures images of sad losers trying to console themselves by binging on food

>>8931206

I was worried I had scored it too deeply and deflated it (I've never scored my loaves before, this is only my third loaf), but after 30 minutes with the lid on, it's looking great. Just removed the lid and parchment paper, it's going back in for another 10-15 for the crust to develop.

>>8931206
I agree with this
>>8931227
Apparently not. Also I did not have a childhood because I wasn't force fed cheap junk food as a child, according to /ck/

>>8931264
Comfort food isn't cheap junk food. It's food that's hearty or reminds you of a good time in your life. For me, comfort food is stuff like a roast chicken, or homemade Mongolian beef like my mom used to make, or bolognese, or simple minestrone.

>>8931244

Not all of us associate "comfort food" and holidays with an uncle who snuck into your bedroom for a bedtime "story," /fit/fuck.

are you under the erroneous impression that people there actually are fit? ten minutes lurking will disabuse you of this misapprehension

Why

>>8931545
That bread reminds me of this rye bread my Oma makes me when we have soup. How was the chili anon?

>>8931909
Fucking delicious. Served it with a hefty spoonful of sour cream, dipped the bread in it. Incredibly pleased with the meal, and I've got tons of leftovers!

>Watery tomato clusterfuck served in a filthy bowl

Why do flyovers eat this garbage?

>>8930128
No it isn't, it's nice to have those foods on every single day of the year. You're just using the bad weather as an excuse to be a fat tub of shit.

My eating habits don't change based on the weather at all, with the sole exception that my intake of chili increases during the winter.

YO that looks incredible. Well done!!!
Had the most unpleasant bike ride of the month in the rain, but got everything from trader joe's. The cakes are cooling right now and I got my cream cheese frosting in the fridge. If you could smell this picture I think you might be a little more impressed.
Excited to frost and get that Slice Pic.

>>8931545
Replying again because I am so impressed with that bread. Damn, it looks so good. Congratulations on that 3rd loaf!

>>8931925
Oh boy, he doesn't know what stuffed shells are. Poor guy.

>>8932078
>>8932075
Thanks, dude! I'm honestly surprised how much better the traditional slow-rise bread is than the quick-rise loaves I've made before. It's way more tender, the crust is crispier, etc etc.

Sorry for your soggy monsoon bike ride. The cakes look great, what's the recipe?

>>8930169

Not as good as the website's photo, but I think that is because I did not wait for the frosting to cool enough or for the cake to cool enough, ha. Got impatient. It is really delicious, though- inviting people in my apt to come have a slice!

>>8932173
And, that sounds great! I will have to give slow-rise a shot. I've got a friend who is taking care of a sourdough starter right now, he likens it to having a little pet.

>>8932208
Looks really fucking good! I can understand the impatience, sometimes you just gotta go for it.

I also have a friend who babies their sourdough starter — I'm probably gonna ask for some soon.

Goulash from a local Hungarian place. I hope the old duck that makes it has a lot of years left in him.

>>8932242
This looks really good.

>>8932243
Not who you're talking to, but try allspice also. It tastes pretty good in things that call for cinnamon. Nutmeg would also work too if that's all you have.

When rain pelts the windows and wind rattles the shutters it's time to make a piping hot creamy tomato soup with some grilled cheese. Then hot coco with those stupid little marshmellows and a jigger of bourbon to stiffen it up. Comfy, cozy, makes the weather go away.

>>8933122
wh.. why would you mutilate your grilled cheese like that?

>>8933049
How much?

>>8933144
It's just a stock picture I grabbed to illustrate a point. My own grilled cheese are prepared the traditional way. Occasionally I experiment with different cheeses but you always come home to cheddar. Diagonally cut in case you are in the dipping kind of mood. Maybe a dash of black pepper. Must be eaten piping hot at maximum temperature while still at optimal gooeyness. To prevent burns open your mouth really wide and pant while rolling it around you mouth is should sound like "Haaahhh haaahhh", put one hand in front of your mouth to hide your glutinous shame from your girlfriend so she doesn't think you are retarded. No one likes a tepid grilled cheese.

>>8933150

>>8933122
Never tried alcohol in hot chocolate. Sounds interesting.

>>8933207
I suggest trying out a couple different things and see what works. Whiskeys and rums usually work best. Baileys and Kahlua also can perk it up but be ready for the extra sweetness. I suppose peppermint schnapps could work too. I like bourbon with it. Blanton's or Basil Haydens are my preferred choices.

light rye bread, buttered on each side
sliced smoked kielbasa
horseradish cheese
sauerkraut
a good spicy mustard
combine everything and grill that mother

>>8933042
awesome, thanks

>>8933798
If you go the allspice way, use way way way less than what it calls for for the cinnamon.

>>8933935
yeah, for sure, allspice is a way more powerful spice!

>>8931917
Nice!

Shit takes an hour to make and is a rare case where it is much more expensive to make from scratch (at least, if want a superior quality compared to frozen. if you jew out on homemade lasagna it manages to make worst then frozen)

Rare case of "don't make from scratch" for me
