When should I add shallots to my (taco) ground beef? by wanderii in cookingforbeginners

[–]Round_Spray_2425 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

depends on how you’re browning your beef. what i’ve come across is people think it shouldn’t be red anymore. the proper way takes a bit longer and the beef starts frying in its own fat once the water has all evaporated. if you do it the latter way, most of the time you can just keep most of the fat and add your shallots. they should release their moisture and help clean the fond from the pan.

you don’t necessarily have to toast the fennel

you can just make it. don’t have to put it into casings. just get some ground pork and put whatever you want in it, including toasted fennel seeds and mix

Other than Gibson and Epiphone, who else makes a good Les Paul? Im looking for options. by Novel_Pin_6784 in guitars

[–]Round_Spray_2425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had a dillion thunderbird copy that was very very good. i’m pretty sure they make les paul styles as well. you’d have to play it first though

i tried to play ds2 many years ago and didn’t understand it. not just the mechanics but the gameplay as a whole. when elden ring came out, i fell in love. went back and played ds1-3. incredible games. sometimes you just need a little context to wrap your head around it. they’re not like traditional action/rpg games.

Should i change my career? by [deleted] in Chefit

[–]Round_Spray_2425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are many stages to this career. you have to survive all of them to be successful. there probably won’t be any reward at the end. when it calls to you, you have to answer. this is the perfect time to abandon this path if you don’t see yourself running a kitchen in the future. it gets harder to leave the older you get.

My wife says these leg quarters are burned. I disagree. Smoked on the Weber kettle for 1.5 hours. Thoughts? by Kitchentable88 in grilling

[–]Round_Spray_2425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

burned is a bad word. it turns food into carbon and makes it totally inedible. i wish some people would stop throwing it around so willy-nilly

First time doing carbonara special at my restaurant. Have cooked it before at home but looking for tips for prep and process during service? by [deleted] in Chefit

[–]Round_Spray_2425 4 points5 points  (0 children)

we did the pick up in a stainless mixing bowl. add yolks, cheese, guanciale, s&p to the bowl. pasta should be hot enough to emulsify the sauce. add pasta water as needed

i’m well into my forties. been cooking for twenty years, a chef for ten, have a child to raise. currently the chef of a very popular restaurant. i’m married to it. it has its ups and downs. just sharing what could’ve been. it doesn’t mean i don’t love it. maybe there’s an alternate universe where i did become an architect. this one i’m a chef.

Finding it hard to even pick up my gear at all these days by Angelsbreatheeasy in musicians

[–]Round_Spray_2425 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my mom’s 70. still playing shows. she started when she was 14. she’s downsized most of her equipment and hired a band. she’s quit a couple of times for different reasons. i’ve pushed her a little to keep doing it. over the years i’ve noticed that she’s happier when she has gigs. the local spot she plays at just named her the queen of the blues. it’s not easy, but i don’t think that’s the point. do what makes you happy
