today i had plain toast

thats all

im to poor

[solid kindle]

I had possibly the best bahn mis ive ever had a couple days ago

The pork was so juicy 🤤

The veggies were fragrant. And the bread had an unbelievable crunch when you bit into it

[outer wren]

I just made THE BEST chicken fajitas I've ever made. Legit just took some leftover chicken, shredded it up and put it in a pan with a little water and home made taco seasoning. Seared that up after the water absorbed into the meat and then did some very thin onion, jalapeno, and green pepper in the same pan but on high heat to get some char going on it. Cooked till limp and added a little of the seasoning to that.
Shredded some colby jack off a brick and put that in the pan to melt and become crispy. As it started to bubble and turn brown on the edges I laid in a tortilla and let the cheese adhere to it. Turned that out onto a plate and assembled my masterpiece.
A little fresh onion on top with some sour cream and after I folded it I folded next. It was so good I basically fent folded on the spot lol.

I mean fair I guess but we're kinda limited. I usually (not always but usually) give brief instructions on what I do so people can replicate it

Tonight I think I will do some whipped vanilla cream cheese with berry compote on top. Or just sliced berries if I am feeling lazy.

Or maybe I'll do nutmeg

Mici are larger, softer (they use baking soda) and are kind of eaten like central European sausages, i.e. mustard and beer on bread.

Ćevapi are smaller, crunchy texture soft interior, different spices. Eating in a lepinja/somun (round bread) with kajmak (traditional dairy spread) and white onions.

A doctor I know recommended not eating more than 3-4 a day. After all, you can have too many vitamins too. So idk

[outer wren]

I don't think you're going to get toxic amounts of citric acid with 12 clementines my guy lol

If anything they probably don't recommend eating more because they have a lot of natural sugars in them

They're very sweet so they pack a lot of calories. 4 clementines is probably like 300-400 calories. A small meal but due to the sugar in it triggering an insulin response you're hungry again in 10 minutes.

[outer wren]

Looks like a good solid soup. Made with trout, looks like. I wish I had a bowl.

[dreamy lake]

I once (maybe twice or more lol) ate 1.5kg of them. After that, I was itchy all evening, and red spots started appearing on my body. I'm not allergic to anything, and many of my friends have had the same reaction when they ate a similar amount of clementines

[abstract sparrow]

You'll piss out the excess long before you get an even remotely dangerous amount.

[outer wren]

I dunno sounds a little like an allergy to me lol. Even if it isn't a big one large amount can do that. Either way I believe being able to enjoy a lot of clementines at once is worth it. They're so, so good.

[abstract sparrow]

They're small enough to be easily snackable,too.

[outer wren]

I've always wanted to make that clementine cake that Babish did a while ago. Secret Life of Walter Mitty or some such movie?

[honest siren]

Rate my spaghetti (censored edition)

[solid kindle]

6/10, needs more sauce

[outer wren]

I have two answers you get to choose: nice or honest (I won't be mean)

[sudden bramble]

prime r/kitchencell post

[gilded spire]

I repent!

[honest siren]

Honest

(I might cry)

[outer wren]

tbh it looks criminally bland. I don't see any traces of onion, black pepper, or herbs. It looks like it came straight from the jar onto the noodles. I could be wrong so let me know if I am.
Now...it's still spaghetti so unless you used Ragu sauce, which is just ketchup basically, it's probably still a solid 6/10 with those meatballs.

4/10 if you used Ragu. It's so sweet it's like a dessert.

[honest siren]

It's just straight up Primo sauce, Primo noodles, and italian meatballs

I'm never certain what to add

[outer wren]

I got you fam. Lemme give you what I do to do a wallop of flavor on jarred sauces

[outer wren]

So first thing is you need a yellow onion, a couple fresh cloves of garlic, black pepper (if it's not fresh ground use white pepper instead or just skip. Do not use pre-ground if it isn't white pepper.), half of a green cubanelle pepper if you can get it OR a half of a green bell pepper if you can't, a few fresh basil leaves if you can get them and some extra virgin olive oil. Optionally 1lb of ground beef OR 1/2lb ground beef and 1/2lb of ground sweet Italian sausage. 1 or 2 jars of your sauce. 1 if not using meat, 2 if using meat.

If you're not using the meat skip this part. If you are using it fry them down in the in the sauce pan on a medium-high heat until the beef is nicely browned and the sausage gets some nice color. If you aren't that experienced in cooking and want to see how to brown meat well check out J Kenji Lopez Alt's recipe for chili. He cooks down ground beef perfectly in that video. (if your sauce pan is very small do the meat in two batches.) As the meat cooks you should be using a spatula to break up the meat as small as you can. I'd salt and pepper the beef but you don't have to salt and pepper the sausage it should be flavorful as is. Drain meat of fat before setting aside for later. Leave the brown bits in the bottom of the pan, that fond will be great flavor.

First thing for the sauce itself is dice the onion and the cubanelle/green pepper small. Add the onion and the olive oil (about a tablespoon) to the sauce pan, hold the peppers back this will be added later. If you used meat make sure to get up all the fond on the bottom of the pan while the onions cook. Great flavor in there.

Cook the onion on medium-low heat, salt the onions if you can but only a pinch or two of salt. Make sure they do not develop much color. You're sweating them and getting them to look transparent. While doing this make sure you peel and finely chop the garlic but keep an eye on those onions. Once the onions look like they might be developing some color (caramelizing) add in the garlic and stir that around. You'll get a huge wave of garlic smell that should be heavenly. Let that get fragrant for about a minute.

Once the garlic is done cooking (remember, about 1 minute) then add the jar(s) of your sauce. Now is also the time to add in the diced peppers and the meat, if you're using the meat, as well as the basil and ground black pepper (as much as you like but if you want an amount do 1/2 tsp). Turn the heat to low, stir and simmer for at least 20 minutes. Stirring every 3-5 minutes. You are trying to make sure it all mixes well and also trying not to burn the sauce on the bottom of the pot. And really thats it. Make sure the peppers are nice and soft and it's done! It gets better as it sits so personally I turn the heat down as low as I can and let it sit warm for a little while before I use it.

Now just take your noodles and plate them up with the sauce. NEVER pre-mix the sauce and the noodles. Only sauce the noodles when they are going to be put on a plate or in a bowl. Even keep the separated as leftovers.
If you want to do meatballs please, for the love of God, bake them or pan fry them before pairing with the spaghetti. Never let your meatballs swim and cook in the sauce.

Side note: this sauce freezes great so you can make a large amount of it and freeze servings of it to thaw and have whenever! Though it will lose some flavor over time.

[honest siren]

Would spicy italian work?

Oh shit and it freezes well

Thanks, I'll make sure to try that. I can pick and choose ingredients though, right? I may not have everything listed

[outer wren]

Honestly just the onions, peppers, and garlic is non-negotiable. Everything else is just "gilding the lily" so to speak

[honest siren]

Could I use something spicier instead of cubanelle?

[outer wren]

Also for spicy Italian I personally would not. I'm not opposed to it being spicy, in fact if you wanted it that way you can add some red pepper flakes for some heat.
But sweet Italian and hot/spicy Italian sausage use different ingredients in the sausage. I don't think it'd taste right if you used hot sausage.

[outer wren]

Cubanelle aren't spicy. They are like a better green bell pepper.

Green bell pepper works but it's not as good as cubanelle

[honest siren]

Well it's just that my parents grow jalapeno peppers every year and they like to give us some every time I visit

[outer wren]

You could use some of those. They would work well, but only in combination with the other peppers as they lack the punch in flavor we're looking for. I'd only use them for heat tbh.

[honest siren]

So I want sweet italian sausage, green peppers, and garlic?

[outer wren]

A yellow onion, ground black pepper, and olive oil as well. You can skip the basil if you want or just use like 1/2 tsp of dried basil if you have it.

But yeah that's all you need really

It's more or less just chop everything and add it at the proper layer in the sauce. Layer as in layer of flavor. What you are doing when you make a sauce like this is building flavors like bricks to a building. Every layer, every brick, builds flavor

If you didn't cook the onions before adding them to the sauce they would get lost and contribute nothing. If you added the garlic without letting it's aromatics out in the pan they too would be lost. Muted.

The peppers impart their flavor slowly with cooking but adding them at the same time as the onion would change them. Imo when you cook them with onions and oil they kind of take on this (wonderful) flavor that you would probably associate with fajitas more than spaghetti.

Also: I like my onions and peppers to be present in my sauce when I eat it so I just dice them. You could chop them smaller, almost mince them, if you don't like a chunky sauce.

[honest siren]

What does the olive oil add?

[outer wren]

It's a subtle flavor. Mostly it's a tool to cook the onion. If you really get down to the details of what it adds: not much.
HOWEVER! It's a travesty to use anything but olive oil in spaghetti. Disrespectful.
I use it for that reason but also because its healthier than vegetable, canola, and other seed oils. If you're going to use an oil that's not olive oil I would personally recommend avocado. Otherwise just use butter.

Butter
Not margarine. You cook anything but cookies with margarine and I will be very, very unhappy.

Why cookies, you ask? (I feel this question incoming)
Some cookie recipes call for a margarine because it leads to a crispier texture in a cookie. Also in cornmeal cookies it's higher water content over butter allows the cornmeal to hydrate easier and make a softer cookie.

[honest siren]

Even extra virgin?

[honest siren]

Also, noted. I'm make sure to tell my father that

[outer wren]

Extra virgin is processed less and has more flavor but can't be used to cook at higher heats. In this case its perfectly fine but imo with everything else going on the delicate flavor of olive oil will get lost.
If you ever want to get the idea of how much the flavor changes from "olive oil" to "extra virgin olive oil" get a loaf of Italian or French bread and pour some of the oils into dipping dishes. Tear off a hunk of bread and try the normal olive oil. Then try the extra virgin. It's a world of difference.

[honest siren]

Wait, you can eat olive oil raw?

I thought it was just used for cooking?

[outer wren]

Yeah lol. You can eat all oils raw.

I mean it is but olive oil is special. It's a condiment and seasoning. Not just a cooking oil.

Good olive oils can absolutely change the way you eat bread, salads, and even how you cook

In dishes with only a few ingredients like pasta aglio olio the quality of your olive oil is paramount

[honest siren]

I don't usually eat bread on it's own but I'll keep that in mind when I do

[outer wren]

I love it as an appetizer or with other things like cold cuts. OR as a side to spaghetti :D

I have many fond memories of eating bread and oil with my dad and stepmom. She always like to try different oil salts to flavor it differently. I just liked my plain sea salt.

[honest siren]

I only know of garlic bread

[outer wren]

[honest siren]

Weirdly-shaped bread with the white spots

[outer wren]

Is Italian bread

[honest siren]

What makes this different from regular?

I can imagine it has a sort of

Thicker texture

Less squishy

[outer wren]

Italian bread is typically shorter but broader, with a softer cumb and crust that's still crunchy
French bread is a longer and narrower load with a crunchy chewy crust and a soft-yet-chewy crumb
If, by regular bread, you mean sliced bread? Worlds of difference. White bread off of the shelf is terrible. Suitable only as substrate for a childs grilled cheese or a nostalgic PBJ sandwich.

You should be able to hear a good loaf of bread. First while you tap it's belly you'll hear a delightful thump. And then it's crackle and crunch as you squeeze it lightly.

To give you an idea https://youtube.com/shorts/p3TzgOmpS_s

The round bread is called a boule

[honest siren]

B-but... my ham sandwiches...

[outer wren]

Put your ham sandwiches on a kaiser roll and TELL ME it's not superior

Packaged bread is (usually) cheaper and pre-sliced so convenience and affordability
Good bread is usually more expensive and you have to slice it yourself

[honest siren]

OH THAT'S WHAT THOSE ARE CALLED

[outer wren]

But that's the price you pay for really good bread

[honest siren]

What would you suggest for cheese though?

[outer wren]

wait when did cheese happen

I'm confused

[honest siren]

Like we're talking about spaghetti sauce, then bread, and now cheese

[outer wren]

Oh so just like what's good

[honest siren]

Like on spaghetti or bread, you know?

[outer wren]

Honestly cheese is hard to really say. Some people like vastly different cheeses.

Oh well that's a little easier

So for the spaghetti you definitely want fresh parmesean or romano cheese. Or both. But not too much, you can add like maybe 1/4 cup of finely shredded of either of those to your spaghetti sauce and it would not go wrong. That said you are adding a totally different flavor and are getting closer to a bolognese than a spaghetti. Buuut shredding it on top is always a solid option too.

If eating cheese with bread: I'd choose something a little younger and creamier like a coulommier or brie.

That, to note, should not be cooked. It should be spread on the bread or toast of that bread.

If you want to pair a cheese like that to cook onto it and make, say, cheese garlic bread I very much recommend havarti or gruyere

[honest siren]

Do I cook it with the sauce or after?

[outer wren]

Either or. Personally I wouldn't add it to the sauce as it would add a salty funk that would be amazing but not what I look for in a spaghetti.
If I'm to do cheese with spaghetti I always put it on top after it's been plated up to serve.

[honest siren]

Thanks for the help, next time I'm grocery shopping I'll make sure to look for these ingredients!

[outer wren]

[muted sluice]

Unless you live in France where they're really cheap lol

[muted sluice]

Also this looks like somewhat failed homemade bread. Nothing wrong with it if it's homemade, but I would instantly associate that with industrial bread or bad bakery if I bought one and it turned out like that. Classic italian breads like ciabatta or focaccia have way better crumb. The one in the picture looks too compact (not enough hydration)

Imo if good bread is too expensive where you live, investing a bit of time to learn how to make 2 or 3 different type of breads seems worth it

I'll never forgive them for that. They weren't even doing anything with the area, they just chopped and fucked off.

Home-made Greek yogurt, about 1.7 L of it. This time I added 100 g of low-fat powdered milk to 4 L of low-fat ultra-pasteurized milk, then it was time for the bacteria starter culture (I used something between 100 and 300 mg of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus combo by Chr. Hansen). After about 12 hours of fermentation in my multicooker I strained the whey in 3 batches (not all fits into the plastic holder with the cloth), each took about 8 hours.

It isn’t time-consuming actually. I make it so often that describing it is more laborious at this point. The most annoying part is not even cleaning (cloth goes to the washing machine, everything else to the dishwasher) but opening the milk cartons.

I eat it sweetened: I add stevia powder and maybe 30 g of chia seeds per portion.

looks really good, but I feel like its missing something, but I also don't know the recipe so don't know what could and couldn't go in

[flint arrow]

this looks like the stew my mom used to make

[outer wren]

The recipe calls for carrot but I didn't have any so I subbed in orange bell pepper. It was very sweet just like carrot but that was definitely a different flavor. Also it has no potato, rice, or beans (which I've seen in several recipes for steak and ale) because I'm trying to keep it low carbohydrate. So far low carb as lost me over 50lbs/25-ish kilos. This was a pie-filling recipe but I used 1/3 as much corn starch for thickening to make it more stoup/stew-like.
If I were not concerned with carbohydrate content I'd have added the full 3 tsp of corn starch needed and served it over mashed potatoes. That'd make it so very thick and gravy-like it'd have been sublime.

[rigid junco]

the first thought was a potato, followed with carrot so that was it I guess

[outer wren]

As it stands this small pot of stew was between 15-20 carbs. Divided in two servings it made for a great meal at only 10-ish carbs. It was definitely worth the 1 hour time it took to cook.

I wanna do this again with a better quality ale/beer

[rigid junco]

I need to try more cooking, minced beef on pan is not that hard to cook, but I am on my baker arc

[outer wren]

With actual carrot. I would have used it this time but I just didn't have it and didn't want to drive out to get some lol.

Baking is great. I miss baking breads.

[rigid junco]

fair, I don't ever remember last time I had a carrot lol

[outer wren]

Bread and pasta is my downfall

tbh I miss simple carrots. I used to eat them whole.

[rigid junco]

YOOOO! I just got into that, 1st one didn't cook trough 100% but like 90 - ish (I ate it, and got shits only from the 2nd half), 2nd recipe was supposed to make total of 3 loafs, but one of the doughs, messed up in the end I used it to make pan bread, the other 2 loafs did not turn out quite right when it comes to size but they cooked trough nicely and werent that bad

[outer wren]

Too much sugar in them to have as a snacc on this diet though

[rigid junco]

but the 1st recipe bread tasted waaay better, so I will stick to that and try to perfect it

not having a scale proves to be quite an issue

[outer wren]

Baking is one of the few things in cooking where it's a real science. The ratios must be right or you might end up with a not-great-end-product. I'll look for my no-knead bread recipe when I'm in the kitchen next and send it to you. It's called a "peasant loaf" and it's not as crusty or chewey as other loaves but it's easy to do and makes a great bread for sandwiches and toasting.

It also makes a great gift for people you like

[rigid junco]

this is the 1st one

[outer wren]

Keeps for about a week without refridgeration

[rigid junco]

and this is the 2nd one (the picture does it more justice)

[outer wren]

That looks great!

[rigid junco]

yeah... looks

lol

[outer wren]

That looks like the loaf you'd get in Call of Chernobyl

tbh I'd demolish both. Give me a little olive oil and salt.

Balsamic or malt vinegar with olive oil and salt with bread is one of God's great gifts to mankind

Honestly even just bread in general

[rigid junco]

bread is indeed peak invention

[outer wren]

Absolutely

I miss bread...

I had some recently that I made for my friends Iftaar celebration (a Muslim holiday I'm unfamiliar with in the middle of Ramadan) and it was like arriving at Heaven's gates. Superbly chewy and positively delicious. I adapted a pizza dough recipe to make bread and brushed it with an olive oil I infused with salt, oregano, thyme, and parsley.

[rigid junco]

only if olive oil wasn't so fucking expensive, I would love to try out recipes with it

[outer wren]

It broke my diet but I was able to reign myself in and get back on basically pure protein. Cheese and meat. It's expensive but effective.

Olive oil isn't that bad. Depending on where you are, I guess. Here in the US we're looking at like 12 USD per small-ish bottle of organic extra virgin. It's pricy but not that bad as long as you don't use it for everything you cook.

[rigid junco]

here its like... 11€ to 15€ if I am not wrong, I will have to check next time I am in store but when I see sun flower oil for like 1/7th of the price it... yeah...

[outer wren]

Knowing the rough esimate of USD to Euros that is a little more expensive yeah. Not by a lot but by enough I guess.

Sunflower oil is great too. Good flavor, high smoke point.

Not like olive oil though

[rigid junco]

oh nevermind checking tesco page, there are some under 6€ ones

[outer wren]

Not too shabby

Tbh I like sunflower oil but I normally use that for frying

Olive for pure flavor though. Particularly for bread.

Can't beat basic bread with olive oil and salt

Even noodles

I'd kill a plate of noodles with olive oil, salt, and some lemon

Double kill it if you add garlic

[rigid junco]

might grab a bottle sometime just for specific recipes

hmm... garlic bread.... well I know what I am gonna try next

[outer wren]

Cannot go wrong with garlic and olive oil on bread unless you overcook it

I wish you the luck of Marco Pierre White when you do so

or my favorite of all the French chefs, Jacques Pepin

I absolutely love Jacques Pepin

[rigid junco]

A WHOLE PLAYLIST OF HOME COOKING?!

thank you for providing me with names of total strangers I never heard of

-# (of course I googled who they are)

a bread recipe too?!

[outer wren]

lol

yeah

Jacques Pepin was a huge name in home-cooking behind his best friend Julia Child whom everyone should know

He combined a lot of French styles with American home ingredients and tbh is one of my major inspirations in cooking

I forgot to check my recipes also. I'll post it when I remember.

iirc one of the few things he included in his recipes that I had no way to get was endive. I cannot find endive anywhere other than home-grown farms,

some cold fermented pizza, made with proper "00" flour

and san marzano tomatoes as sauce, very lovely, competes with pizzeria pizzas easily
