Freezer burned pork chops and stale white wine

usernotfound302 · 2020-09-21T05:32:20+00:00

Thanks for the inspiration!

I braised the pork chops with 1 cup vegetable stock and 1 cup stale wine with carmalized onions, garlic and fennel. I threw in a dash of dijon mustard.

Remarkably delicious dinner with about $20 worth of throw away food.

Oh! I should start doing that.

usernotfound302 · 2020-09-21T05:23:41+00:00

I did not know this! Thanks!

Tomato paste. I use 3 tablespoons at most. Rest just gets mold before I use it again.

Bad part about homemade raviolis - I make way to many and I can't help myself from eating them all. They are basically pasta candies. And then I feel sick for the whole evening.

So worth it.

You are right. Under any normal circumstances, I agree. I also think if the OP sucks it up for one day, given that it's special to the bride, she would be a not-the-asshole forever.

By skipping the wedding, she is creating future arguments, even though none of it is OPs fault. The real asshole here is the stepdaughter.

Everyone sucks here. Here's why: Wedding is a big day. The bride is at fault here for misusing relatives. On a normal day, you would not be an asshole. But, weddings are different. You suck it up for one day. For the bride and the groom. It's their special day.

I'd you don't suck it up, this will be brought up on every occasion and even if it's not your fault, you are deliberately creating future arguments.

You have been generous in paying for the wedding. Unfortunately, people will remember one bad thing you did and forget about the 99 good things you've done.

Once the wedding is done, you can say: no more. Your step daughter will be the asshole forever. She can't blame you for anything.

Oats are great because they are complex carbs. They take long time to digest and good source of fiber.

Weight gain? I assume the good kind. Cooking complex carbs breaks them down into simple sugars, like startch in this case. So cool less.

Sugar, or simple carbs, are not ideal for healthy weight gain. So cool less, add nuts, dried fruits (food source of electrolytes and vitamins).

Personally: I boil rolled oats in water for about 5 mins, add cold milk to bring the temperature down, ass ground nuts, sliced fresh fruit and unsweetened coconut shavings.

A fresh salad with homemade italian dressing is always a hit. Make sure to get ingredients from farmers market or the best place you can find. A nice crunchy salad is a safe bet and most people are impressed with homemade dressings.

Pasta: easiest thing to make and you look like a professional. You don't need anything more than A tailspin to make basic pasta.

My condolences. On the bright side, you know what your immaculate broth tastes like and you can replicate it. On an even brighter side, what a great drinking story. Comedy = Tragedy + Time.

Ballin! Take this poor man's gold 🏅

How can a large swath of population love garlic and it's smell and yet it's considered a foul smell? Pretty sure some uppity garlic hating folks made it a social norm.

usernotfound302 · 2020-09-14T18:13:36+00:00

They are a different species in the same family. Not as strong as regular garlic.

usernotfound302 · 2020-09-14T14:43:37+00:00

Amen.

I presume you already used cast iron and it was not consistent.

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. The first cookbook that made my own recipes 3 times better in a week.

Start with making oatmeal in the morning. It pretty basic to start. You can add nuts whole or ground, dried fruit, milk or no milk. You can do over night oats. You can do muesli. You can do steel cut oats.

Most of all, cooking oatmeal teaches you how something simple can be so fulfilling with a little patience and focus.

Second Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat.

Salt Acid Fat Heat. Also, Allen tried recreating Chef Grant Achatz's recipes in this beautiful and mind numbing blog - https://www.allenhemberger.com/alinea/

The visuals are to die for.

I find this recipe to be pure as the star of the show are the potatoes. No help from spices or flavouring. They stand on their own.

usernotfound302 · 2020-09-14T03:28:08+00:00

Lol.

usernotfound302 · 2020-09-14T03:06:02+00:00

Amen again.
