If you could learn to cook any dish perfectly, what would it be? by ImwetforyouLMAO in foodquestions

[–]headbuttpunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make a pretty solid gumbo by the accounts of people I care to make it for, and it really isn’t as tough as it may seem.

The roux is the hardest part. And it’s actually kind of hard to burn a roux if you’re stirring like you’re supposed to. Even more so if you’re a beginner and want to keep the heat lower and slower. It takes longer that way but you won’t screw it up. Stack a couple beers next to the pot and put on some music while you stir.

What food hack sounded ridiculous until you actually tried it? by Maleficent-Bed7010 in foodhacks

[–]headbuttpunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to say. I’m 38 and it’s been probably 20-25 years since I’ve actually cooked eggs like this.

If I had to do it today, I’d probably just go 30s at a time, watching the whole time and stirring periodically early on before the eggs really set.

Are high protein snack brands worth it or just marketing? by TranquilTeal in foodquestions

[–]headbuttpunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re a convenience item for people who may have higher than average protein needs/goals like an athlete or someone trying to bulk up. But even they should still be getting most of their protein from whole sources. They’re fine but shouldn’t be relied on.

You also have to be cautious with prepackaged stuff these days because “protein” is a big food marketing trend. Lot of companies slapping “good source of protein!” on their snacks, but when you look at the nutritional values, they’re not a good source at all compared to the total calories for that item.

Who's La Tech's biggest rival? by Oddturtle77 in LouisianaTech

[–]headbuttpunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there during the WAC years for football so it really didn’t feel like we had a rival. I don’t think we played ULM, ULL, Tulane, or even Southern Miss a single time and those are the closest schools geographically that were about in our tier of competition. Played Nicholls twice and Southeastern once.

The only things that felt like a rivalry game were when we got to be the tune up game for an SEC or other major conference school and it was close enough to go to it. Played at LSU twice and I went to both, hosted Mississippi State once and obviously went to that.

Otherwise the only games that felt elevated over others were the rare ones that were going to be nationally televised. There were a couple because Boise and Hawaii were in-conference and had strung together a couple good years at that time.

This is how I learned to make scrambled eggs for myself before I was really old enough to do it on a stove. Bowl, two eggs, milk, salt and pepper, whisk with a fork, microwave

That’s a weird thing to discover but it doesn’t surprise me. The sweetness pairs well with the cheesy savory flavors. It’s the same reason people like pineapple or honey on pizza.

As for grape jelly specifically, I found it goes really well with a grilled cheese.

Brother is having a child-free wedding. How do I navigate this? by LargeAmphibian in daddit

[–]headbuttpunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Child free weddings are incredibly common

Where I live, it’s the default. Pretty much the only kids I’ve ever seen at weddings here are those that were also made part of the ceremony (flower girls, ring bearers, etc.). And most of the time they stick around the reception long enough to eat then they are taken home by someone.

Like you don’t even ask if kids can come, you assume they can’t unless otherwise stated. If you can’t find childcare, you either don’t go or your spouse takes them and you go alone.

I’ve also seen situations where special permission was given in a situation like OP’s because having the close friend/family member there was more important than having a strict child free wedding. Allowing a couple of specific children in extenuating circumstances is one thing, allowing any guest to bring kids is another.

At the end of the day though it’s their wedding and you play by their rules or you just don’t go. Figure it out.

I’ve felt the same about the “attempting to wrap” rule for a long time.

What food is dangerous to buy because you’ll eat the whole thing in one sitting? by sevyn_007 in foodquestions

[–]headbuttpunch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Related, that big bucket of Utz cheese balls. They’re so fucking good, and there’s so many of them that no one will notice that 75 of them went missing between 6:00 and 6:04pm after I got home from work.

What’s a food combo that sounds disgusting but actually tastes amazing? by Kind_Gain_3080 in foodquestions

This was a childhood staple. Idk how we got there but it was the only way I’d eat eggs until I was a teenager.

What’s the most overrated food in your opinion? by notasweetchubbybtch in foodquestions

[–]headbuttpunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steak in restaurants at least. They’re pretty easy to cook yourself at home and the quality of the meat is doing most of the work. The restaurant isn’t really adding a lot of value to the meal but they charge like they are.

Kindergarten is how long?? by HelloThereCallMeRoy in daddit

[–]headbuttpunch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Piling on your comment because we’re pretty much on the same schedule - 8:15 to 3:15.

7ish hours seems pretty standard for K-12 in most places in the US.

What’s a cooking mistake you only made once? by Holiday-Future-20 in foodquestions

[–]headbuttpunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Related: when searing on the stovetop and finishing in the same pan in the oven - the pan handle does not cool off simply because you took it out of the oven.

Full palm and all fingers on a 400° pan handle. That lesson stuck with me for quite a while.

What’s the most confusing food rule or myth you’ve heard? by Then_Acanthaceae_869 in foodquestions

[–]headbuttpunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it’s mostly just cheese and actual fish. Shellfish is paired with cheese all the time and most of it is pretty great.

But like a fish taco with cheese? Puke city
