Arsenic Lupin posted:It turns out that cuts of beef vary from state to state, too. California has this beef cut called a "tri-tip" which is a muscle in the bottom sirloin. It's beloved for slow grilling. I haven't seen it elsewhere in the US; I'm guessing it's just sold as "sirloin" elsewhere. You can get tri-tip in New England too.

It's basically getting a bunch of TV Dinner meals with less sodium and nicer ingredients delivered every week.

There's a company I really like that sends out delicious microwavable meals at way less than $12/serving with a ton of vegetarian options. It's called Domino's Pizza

This is a really great book to help step beyond "following recipes to the letter": https://www.amazon.com/Improvisational-Cook-Sally-Schneider/dp/0062025368 It gives a basic recipe, explains why it works, then gives examples of how you can mess with it or use the same techniques to do something entirely different. Highly recommended.

any competent butcher can give you what you need if you explain where the cut of meat is and what your going to do with it. Also the FDA and some industry meat/butcher group have their own bible of meat cut names with local/regional names soooo

Nowadays most supermarkets buy in pre-cut-up meat, so you're lucky if you have a butcher you can talk to and say "I want NAMP cut 185C" or whatever. (If you have a butcher, I'd recommend printing out this Wikipedia page and bringing it in.) I'm lucky because I have access to several grocery stores whose butchers actually start from whole carcasses. That's rarer and rarer.

Except Alton gets entirely too far up his own rear end when it comes to his hatred of "unitaskers" and coming up with increasingly absurd ways to "simplify" recipes that actually winds up tacking on an extra 30 minutes of bullshit to a cooking process.  Don't get me wrong, I loved Good Eats and I learned a lot from it back when I was in college, working in restaurant kitchens at night and learning how to cook (2002 - 2006), but Alton gets bizarrely fixated on certain things. He also has one of the most bizarre scrambled egg recipes I've ever seen.

I had no idea tri-tip was a regional thing, I see it all the time at winco. I'm starting to wonder what else we have in the pnw the rest of the nation doesn't have (good teriyaki ofc). Also don't rag on my boy Alton Brown.

If you watch his more recent episodes he’s really open about mistakes that he made in the past. I think the fact that he went back and redid a bunch of episodes to fix those issues shows a bit of humility that isn’t common in that area.

Freakazoid_ posted:Also don't rag on my boy Alton Brown.  Good Eats is about the only earnest cooking show I can tolerate, and it's in large part because he's honest and forthright and realistic about poo poo. Also he goes into Bill Nye-style interludes, and I just can't even imagine hating on that, unless your soul is dead.

evilweasel posted:there will be three photos taken every 10 minutes, spaced randomly within that 10 minutes. you can estimate the chances of being away from the computer for a specific photo but cannot schedule around it. Exactly. From the article: quote:Rony soon realized that though he was working from home, his old office job had offered more freedom. There, he could step out for lunch or take a break between tasks. With Crossover, even using the bathroom in his own home required speed and strategy: he started watching for the green light of his webcam to blink before dashing down the hall to the bathroom, hoping he could finish in time before WorkSmart snapped another picture. And that's not even the worst excerpt from that article. quote:The worker who used Cogito, for instance, had only a minute to fill out insurance forms between calls and only 30 minutes per month for bathroom breaks and personal time, so she handled call after call from people dealing with terminal illnesses, dying relatives, miscarriages, and other traumatic events, each of which she was supposed to complete in fewer than 12 minutes, for 10 hours a day.
