I had a bad experience with a mimmosa once
zealous crown
You need to stop visiting shady establishments.
placid terrace
if you zoom in it looks solid
zealous crown
True. Just havenāt seen such a big piece done with royal icing is all. Looks amazing tho.
placid terrace
and the thing with the orange juice, is that it was a wedding, and I got actual food poisoning, and orange does not taste good the second time when mixed with other things. such as salmon.
zealous crown
Awh no, sounds horrible.
I need my OJ with bits every morning. Actually I should probably stop as it triggers my acidity on a stressful day.
Regurgitated salmon š¤¢
placid terrace
I couldn't touch anything orange for years
Now it's just cheap orange juice, or orange mixed with something
zealous crown
You have my sympathy. I couldnāt eat tuna for years.
Orange with carrot makes some awesome juice.

Gladly! š
I am allergic to pineapple but I love pinacoladas. So I just take some anti histamine before going out. :x

Heh, not really, I donāt mind cooking on my birthday. I always find it relaxing. Just need some good music.
Yeah, my phone died, but asked them to send me some photos of the dinner and cake later.
I did bake the cake haha
placid terrace
well if you want a job doing right š
turns out breaking my garlic press was super expensive
cause amazon started insisting I needed to look at rice cookers
zealous crown
Ha. Nice. I do have one but I think I used twice. Itās great if you find draining rice a bit of a chore.
zealous crown
Says the asian man on Reddit, yes
placid terrace
I was not draining rice long before Uncle Roger said so
But I do frequently cook it for way longer than I should because I'm hopeless at measuring the right amount of water
zealous crown
But.. itās mostly because oriental dishes include rice that are somewhat sticky. Biryani rice needs to absorb water, so you measure rhat, but plain rice in India or southeast asia is usually drained.
Heh, just use a colander with stand.
Also, add a dash of salt.
placid terrace
or, press a button and let a machine that is far smarter than I am sort it out š
zealous crown
That.
placid terrace
also it can to cruchy rice

We do, especially since COVID, a lot of training of people learning to cook, and that's one of the 3 books that we always suggest to newbies
that, Twenty by Rhulman, and Think like a Chef by Collichio

Most of my books are less recipe focused, I got MC, MB (even though I'm not a baker), Flavor Bible, Food lab, one of my favorites is actually an autobiography of an ex-mobster who went into WitSec but he was the chef for the mob and the recipies he shared were from the points in his story

So basically
A really long time ago, I got pneumonia, this was as a small child, I'm fine now, but there was this disgusting medicine I had to take, and I still remember its taste to this day
It tasted sortof like orange juice but the worst part amplified by 20 and with a terrible aftertaste
serene delta
So the only thing I could mix it with was Gatorade, anything else would taste even worse, and the Gatorade didn't help much, so one day I ask the nurse to bring me a full bottle of Gatorade, and I pour the medicine into the Gatorade bottle, then when I tasted it it hadn't changed at all, I just had a full bottle to take now
That was the worst day I had at the hospital
And to awnser your question, it's the aftertaste, except the whole time it tasted like that
zenith grotto
Iāll be honest. Love oj.
I wish I didnāt so I could better understand your horrible day at the hospital those many days ago

No, I did a meal for a group, all I remember was something went wrong so had to make a new sauce for something quick and made yum yum sauce. Then after that I had 3 people requesting soooo much of it.
tired stump
it's fry sauce with extra sugar š

Itās not so much that the stuff is weird, itās just that itās only available in the wild and China has some issues with its food system to begin with.

@zealous crown I just figure for stuff that's grown, what could go wrong with it? it's not like a supermarket could fuck up rice
also I hate shopping so much. the idea of visiting two shops is too much
I'd order it online if I could spend enough in a single shop to make the Ā£40 minimum spend
zealous crown
Hahah, how could you possibly shop less? I spend double that on frozen stuff alone!
I also donāt enjoy any kind of shopping, not just grocery. I do like the open market we have here, tho. Getting fresh veggies on Sunday mornings has become a ritual for me now.
But yeah, I am sure their rice is just fine. Problem is I am from bengal, we grow so many varieties and are unnecessarily picky about it.

My ex has spina bifida so in a wheelchair, and while it was great to get into movie theatres for free and cut lines and shit (and basically have a storage container), the best was the setup for her car.

I am terrible with sauces. Apple-chili sounds lush. The glaze alone should be worth it.
fair siren
update on that seascape donut
the tail was white chocolate i think
prolly just coloured
dusky solstice
@zealous crown The trick to sauces, don't overcomplicate them, and avoid thickening with flour (unless a brick roux). They aren't going to cook for long (usually), just get the flavor where you want it then thicken with a starch slurry (I prefer potato starch)
though the apple chili sauce is gonna be based on a marinade I use for lamb. Apple Juice concentrate, some Sambal (but this time I'm gonna load it up with Aleppo pepper), some soy sauce, a little rice wine and whatever herbs I have. It'll probably simmer for about 5 minutes, I'll thicken and then it can be used on the steaks when they are done

Lassi is the best to drink with spicy food. I love a good mango one

Mm I am gonna go make some now. I got these mangoes, they are from Dominican Republic. Texture wise they are the closest to the ones from South East Asia. The spanish ones are rather crunchy. Like mango flavoured apple.

Mmm creamy. Go for it, man. Your digestive system will love you for it.
For non creamy kind, frozen grapes make it super delicious and refreshing. Frozen fruits are awesome.

yeah just lightly fried

You'd usually have this with noodles or something but I didn't feel like it
placid terrace
looks like it'd be great with some pork
placid terrace

quick root
and I'm gonna add rice to it
placid terrace
no
quick root
do I cook the rice beforehand or
placid terrace
rice is not for stir fry
placid terrace
noodle is for stir fry
placid terrace
it depends on the type of noodle
dried noodle, yes, cook ahead
fresh noodle (check the pack, should cook in less than three mins) you can add into the stir fry directly
placid terrace
Oo, we have a disagreement š®
dark spade
it can be used with noodles or rice, but rice is more common, and imo, better
placid terrace
I would say the opposite
dark spade
I was wrong.
placid terrace
Maybe i'm answering from a regional perspective, but I can't think of an occasion where I've had a stir fry with rice
dark spade
Theyāre about the same in common-ness.
red herald
pretty sure stir fry has nothing to do with what you eat with, noodles/rice
dark spade
According to a google image search.
placid terrace
True @red herald , in either case it'd be the accompaniment
dusky solstice
It isn't just noodles, Stir Fry is the cooking method
red herald

dusky solstice
then you can eat as is, add to rice, add with noodles, whatever
dark spade
well yeah
dusky solstice
Often I do my stir fries with Rice, when I do noodles I opt for Udon personally

but Adam and I disagree about whether rice or noodles is a better starch.
carbohydrate whatever
placid terrace

quick root
just eat food, got it
dark spade

dusky solstice
Regardless you cook the pasta/rice first
while that finishing you do the stir fry
quick root
do you add it to the stir fry once it's done or do you keep them separate
placid terrace
Noodles are not pasta in the UK
quick root
noodles != pasta here last I checked
dark spade
I would add the stir fry over the rice, but mix it in with noodles, personally.
dusky solstice
I use the term interchangablty but yeah pasta and noodles are different, pasta is made from a specific type of flour
quick root
though we do call pasta like spaghetti noodles occasionally
placid terrace
@quick root basically, do what you want, if it's dried you need to cook if first, if its wet you can whack it in
dusky solstice
@quick root You can mix it all up in the pan or in a bowl, or you can just serve the stir fry on top of the noodles/rice and mix/eat as you desire
placid terrace
How to cook rice is a whole other argument
dusky solstice
as for noodles vs rice, it personal prefrence. I do find if you going sesame heavy with flavoring, noodles play better. If you doing smaller sized pieces of your proteins, rice better
dark spade
brown rice > white rice
placid terrace
If it's your first time, put a shitload of water in the pan, add your (rinsed) rice, and boil until it tastes ok
dark spade
(IMO)
quick root
rinsed?
dusky solstice
so many different kinds of rice
dark spade
Brown basmati, then.
placid terrace
Agree somewhat @dark spade but brown rice is a ballache to store
dusky solstice
rinse or don't rinse, but the general "safe" way to do it, put the rice in the pot, cover it with water so when you put your finger on top of the rice, the water comes up to your first knuckle
dark spade
boil the rice in a lot of water then strain it?
dusky solstice
bring to a boil, then drop temp to low and cover it for 15-20 minutes
zealous crown
@red herald is that cottage cheese or traditional paneer?
red herald
latter
placid terrace
@dark spade for someone that's never cooked rice ever before, yes
dark spade
DO JTO
red herald
I thought I'd have to explain paneer so I opted to say the former
placid terrace
They're never going to get the rice/water ratio right
quick root
dark spade
the ratios arenāt complicated
dusky solstice
2:1 ratio of water to rice is an okay way to start
usually you want a lil' bit less water though
zealous crown
Yeha, frying paneer is a lot easier. And nyom. Looks great, Sohail. Enjoy.

why doesnāt spoiled milk turn into alcohol??
red herald
then what is eggnog
dark spade
lool
zealous crown
Eeeeesh! I feel for you. PC man.
placid terrace
You need something to process the sugars, there's no naturally occuring yeast in milk
Also, milk gets acidic
red herald
I tried eggnog once and I'm still baffled by its existence
zealous crown
Well, given that it is akin to regurgitated milk..
I would say you drank the vomit.
placid terrace
I always sniff test any animal product before using it, even if its in date
Learned that the hard way
quick root
I don't think I've ever tried eggnog that has alcohol in it tbh
may look for some this year
dark spade
@placid terrace yeah ik about lactic acid fermentation, the question was rhetorical
red herald
like, who thought "you know what would be great in milk? an egg and vodka"
I can only imagine an actual chemist came up with it

I would've sniff tested if it weren't, y'know, several days within date

@placid terrace of what?
placid terrace
Egg in milkshake
quick root
I'm finding a few instances of it
dusky solstice
it fell out of normal practice back in like the 70s or so
Though we always still did it at the restaurant
and I do it personally, it's what gives it a much richer taste
quick root
https://www.wideopeneats.com/make-best-milkshake/
Back then, though, "milkshakes were an alcoholic whiskey drink that has been described as a 'sturdy, healthful eggnog type of drink, with eggs, whiskey, etc., served as a tonic as well as a treat.'" By 1900, milkshakes dropped the eggs and whiskey in favor of syrups including strawberry and vanilla. Over time, they were ordered with homemade ice cream. Today, you can order something as decadently disastrous as a milkshake made with an entire piece of pie in it.
red herald
lol I've been drinking Aryan and calling it lassi all this time
placid terrace
Are we hitting a cultural barrier here?
like, is a milk shake something other than milk, shaken
dusky solstice
The Italians especially in NY kept with the eggs going well into the 70s

Well, if their milkshakes are anything like their milk chocolates.. I tap out.
dusky solstice

placid terrace
I can accept ice cream being made with eggs
but milkshake just sounds like some hyper localised thing
quick root
according to the wikipedia page on milkshake:
These establishments made milkshakes in Hamilton Beach or similar styles of drink mixers, which had spindles and agitators that folded air into the drinks for "smooth, fluffy results" and served them in 12Ā½-ounce tall, "Y"-shaped glasses. Soda fountain staff had their own jargon, such as "Burn One All the Way" (chocolate malted with chocolate ice cream), "Twist It, Choke It, and Make It Cackle" (chocolate malted with an egg), "Shake One in the Hay" (a strawberry shake), and a "White Cow" (a vanilla milkshake).[16] In the 1950s, a milkshake machine salesman named Ray Kroc bought exclusive rights to the 1930s-era Multimixer milkshake maker from inventor Earl Prince, and went on to use automated milkshake machines[17] to speed up production at McDonald's restaurants.
Milkshakes had also become popular in other parts of the world, including the United Kingdom and Australia. In Australia, milk bars had grown popular and milkshakes were normally served lightly whipped and often in the aluminium or stainless steel cups in which they were prepared. In addition to more conventional flavors, spearmint and lime flavored milkshakes became popular in Australia. ```I mean you don't need to add egg to your milkshake, but it sure taste great when you do
placid terrace
I'm alright, I've shat through the eye of a needle enough times for this lifetime

I can see the egg being nice, but I genuinely don't trust eggs unless they're cooked though

yeah in the US, the chances of getting salmonella from the raw egg itself is about 85 in 9 billion
dark spade
get pasteurized eggs pcman
or recognize the fact that getting salmonella poisoning is 1 in 50000

@quick root likewise. Esp egg whites.. :clutches tummy:

one of those is a significantly larger number tbh

what's a pasteurized egg? non fertilized?
dusky solstice
9.4444444444444444444444444444444e-9% chance of getting Salmonella from a raw store-bought egg
placid terrace
Chicken eggs in the EU should be from chickens vaccinated against Salmonella, but I'm still not touching anything involving raw egg
dusky solstice
It is an egg that is pasteurized which kills most dangerous bacteria
dusky solstice
all eggs in the US from stores are pasteurized, you can get non-pasteurized from personal chickens or going direct to a farm
dark spade
what's a pasteurized egg? non fertilized?
@red herald an egg that has been heated enough to kill the pathogens but not enough to cook it
red herald
yeah just like milk then
dusky solstice
Easier to get raw milk in the US than non-pasteurized eggs
red herald
funny though, we buy pasteurized milk but still boil it once to doubly confirm
zealous crown
@red herald not sure if it's prevalent there, but in BD there was a rumour thta the Chinese are producing artificial eggs with plastic shells, and flooding the market with them.
placid terrace
How would that even work
zealous crown
Yes.
dark spade
that seems like it has a chance to scald it
zealous crown
Hot milk growing up is what put me off milk until I realised you can buy other kinds and drink it cold.

yeah we boil it once, let it cool down and refrigerate (bagged fresh milk, not carton)
