What have you guys been improving on?My cheese sauce turned out way better this time. I needed more pasta water than I thought I did last time. At first I thought I accidentally made cheese soup then it suddenly came together nicely
>>22214841yeah I used to make it dry as fuck but now I do it like, not quite a cheese soup, but almost. Also if you ever have some jalapeño queso dip it is a good addition for sure.
>>22214841Niiiiiice job man! Mmm it's so tasty!
>>22214841chicken, mainly getting the chicken skin golden every time, and not burnt up.
>>22214841I learned making cheese spätzle (egg noodles) from my mom. Most recipes call for a cheese sauce to be mixed with them, but she makes a sort of casserole. They were pretty damn good, but she is allergic to spices for some reason and I forgot during the process. They need pepper and nutmeg, I will try again next weekend.
I realized that the deluxe hoagies are NOT better than the regular ones at the pizza spot down the hill. My last order of a regular (not deluxe) steak hoagie was a clear improvement over my previous choice of an Italian deluxe.
>>22214841liver, its comes out way to dry and rubbery every time, i want to try more heat and less time in the pan next time.
>>22214903what is, allegedly, deluxe about them? sesame seeds or something?
>>22214903reality is a lie
>>22214917im guessing less meat, more veggies and a special sauce
>>22214923They don't specify but it's about right.
>>22214849>jalapeño queso dipMust suck having defective taste buds and not being able to enjoy the actual taste of food
>>22214841nothing desu. It took me a while to feel like I mastered a homemade pizza.
>>22214860Bot
>>22214981I was talking about boxed mac and cheese, no need to start with your purity routine
>>22214912Slice it baloney thick and fry it like spam, simple as
>>22214841I put the soup out of the pot into cup/bowls to save fridge space
>>22214875I’m working on chicken as well, plus gravy from the drippings. My most recent roasted thighs were good!
>>22214841nothing im already perfect
>>22215855>gluten free, kosher, vegan vodka woth natural flavorsHuh?
>>22215855Whoa did you make that? Looks amazing
>>22215855how to spiral bread??
>>22214841once a week I make grilled cheeses/melts so mostly getting the cheese to melt without burning the bread only issue is I'm frugal so I only get marked down bread so it's often switching between rye/organic oats/whole wheat stuff like that.
>>22216356Yuh, I dated a Venezuelan girl for awhile and her mom made me some for Christmas. >>22216396Maximiliano got you covered cuh.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kT5TvW22t_k
>>22216352>I've just about completely removed all of the big three unhealthy foods.>Bread, rice, pasta/noodles???
>>22216637they’ve become convinced that carbohydrates have no purpose or nutritional value. I was a ketotard at one point and it’s not true.
>>22216643They'd probably each shit if an influencer told them the Jews didnt want them to
>>22216643>>22218054b..b..but i feel better because i think i do..the lack of sugar and processed food has nothing to do with it. its the bread and pasta i swear...
>>22214841someone please help me, I fucked up my broccoli soup and I need advice how to fix it>simmer 4 cups of broccoli until it's fork tender in chicken stock, then blend it until its smooth>make an emulsifying liquid by mixing equal parts baking soda and vinegar (this makes sodium citrate or something like that, which prevents the cheese from clumping and separating when added to the soup)>use 1 tbs of baking soda : 1tbs white vinegar since the last time I tried this, I used too little and my cheese separated and clumped up in the soup>add it to the soup, then add cheese and milk>it emulsifies perfectly>taste soup>this was a mistake>entire pot tastes like the bitter salt of baking soda>end up adding an entire cup of vinegar over the course of 10 minutes as every time I add any, the soup starts foaming>finally add enough that the soup stops foaming, tasting it every time I do>soup miraculously doesn't taste overly of vinegar, but you can just start to taste it, so I stop adding any>still tastes of baking soda in the background thoughhow do I fix this? I've added cumin, herbs, cayenne, more cheese, and even watered it down a little to try and cover up the taste, but it still tastes of baking sodawtf do I do?
>>22218578You could try adding tomato.But it's probably ruined.
>>22218583I am loathe to do this because then it won't taste like broccoli anymore, but I suppose I have no other option
>>22215911made some gains.. basting the pieces and a lower than expected heat. You ever walk by someone's house and smell that perfect chicken smell? I think in my mind thats what im trying for, when that smell is there so is the great flavor..
>>22218578Maybe let it rest overnight and see if the baking soda taste mellows>>22218626Based improver
>>22218626That looks great anon, truly!!This was mine recently, own roasted and then thrown in the oven. I’ve posted it already but not in this thread
>>22218648It has not significantly mellowed. I do not understand how it can still taste like this when it has stopped reacting with the acid from the vinegar. I think I'm going to have to add tomato sauce like >>22218583 suggested to try and salvage this into a cream of "vegetable" soup.
>>22214841I'm going fucking insaneThere was this video recipe on "chow mein done 3 ways" that I used a couple months ago, and now it's nowhere to be found like it never existed at all
>>22220995https://youtu.be/KxhB21GfUlAturns out it was yakisoba which is like literally the same thing as chow mein
>>22214841I'm on a strict near zero fat diet because my body is trying to kill me, and will continue trying to kill me until surgery in a couple months, so I have had to figure out how to cook without any oil. At first I started with a brand new teflon pan but that was shot within 6 months as the top coating they put on to make it extra slippy is what i needed for things like rice/potatoes/frozen veg. The actual teflon layer isn't non-stock enough to handle this dry after the factory slippy slide coating is worn. Eventually I settled on making everything a stew or soup instead of a stir fry. I've also become very quick at separating egg whites as all the fat in eggs is in the yolk.
>>22219340A perfect comfy meal>>22221087Will you be able to have fats after surgery? How long is the recovery?
>>22221454>Will you be able to have fats after surgery? How long is the recovery?Yes. It's laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Short recovery 2-4 weeks. Just have to hold out till then. Oil and butter will return and i can stop subjecting my pans to this cruel abuse.
>>22218648I'd try adding some sugar too
>>22221087>>22221461that sounds rough. i hope the surgery goes well. Rice, beans and lentils will be your friend. They are best with a bit of fat but they dont require it
>>22220995that crazy chow mein makes me insane!
>>22214841Perfecting chicken breasts. They're cheap at Aldi's and so versatile I just figured why not.
>>22221461I remember when my mom had to get her gall bladder removed. She was fucked up from her gallstones
>>22214921the briefest dream before I die
