They probably put mushrooms in it for the umani hit and depth of flavour.

Yeah thick soups can sometimes end up with weird color. I've made some chana dal soup before, which has the nice yellowish color of a lot of dal soups. I then added some crushed tomato and it turned a rather putrid orange color.

I don't know how dark the kitchen basics veggie stock is, but I know that the veggie stock better than bouillon is also somewhat dark.

Better than Bouillon also does vegetarian "no chicken" and "no beef" bases. Fake chicken is good, haven't tried fake beef.

Stand back, this could get messy.

I'm sure HelloFresh and such is considered cheating, but it's gotten me more recipes and things to try, so I've been really happy with it (and if anything sucks, I have a little bag of ingredients for whatever).

Today's dish has roasted potatoes and zucchini, neither of which I'm a fan of, so I'm going to make an attempt at potato-zucchini hashbrowns instead. Wish me luck.

My wife did a month of field work in the Florida Keys which meant the closest grocery store was 45 minutes away. I sent her the two week trial for each Hello Fresh and Blue Apron and she liked them both well enough for that situation. I could see doing that now with the pandemic and the baby but we have a long backlog of recipes to try so not yet!

So not a total disaster but drat.

1. Make sure you have a grater before you set your mind on hash browns.
2. When in doubt, use less egg.

I had basically a chunky rear end egg fritter which didn't cook evenly.

But the sauce was good!

We hit it hard a year ago when food at grocery stores was super unpredictable and delivery was booked out a week in advance. Even with all that a Hello Fresh box was on the doorstep every monday like clockwork. Generally I like them, they're generally pretty tasty. We've done Blue Apron and enjoyed that too. There's one with Chef in the name that we didn't care for.

I've been buying avocado like crazy, but I've only been seasoning it and eating it raw or slathering it on rice. Any suggestions for easy avocado additions to recipes? Does avocado mix will with marinating red meat? I often find myself with cheap steak or bison in my freezer.

Never tried it myself but avocado is basically "nature's butter" so maybe mash some up and make a compound avocado "butter" to top your red meat. It won't melt like compound butter, but the avocado flavor is neutral enough that it would let whatever flavorings you add to it shine through with each bite of meat.

I've yet to find a recipe that calls for mayo that hasn't been improved by substituting avocado, e.g. egg salad sandwich.

We are all drinking from the highball glass of ideology.
Avocado will turn extremely black extremely fast unless you hit it with some acid. This may impinge on your marination efforts.

Avocados have been a staple in my house my entire life, but I don't really cool with them. Rather, they're part of breakfast sprinkled with lime and salt, or they go in guacamole, or something like that.

Yeah, cooking with avos seems weird to me. In South Africa where I grew up they always came into season around Passover, so we would eat mashed avo with S&P on matzah. So good.

avocado is one of the best fried foods ever

Vietnamese avocado shakes "Sinh tố bơ" are decadent

If you're doing a lot of meat, instead of marinades you can do a nice green avocado sauce on top. Doesn't have the blackening issue mentioned earlier.

I find cooked avocado completely nauseating, and I can’t bear it. Raw, it’s lovely, but something about the texture really puts me off when it’s hot.

I make avocado sauce all the time, and it works just as well with frozen avocado (it just turns out a bit rusty). Avocado chunks, water, some citrus, some salt, and something spicy. poo poo I'm literally eating some of it right now on a bowl full of leftover taco meat beans and rice.

In other news I had a chicken parm yesterday that cured me of several days of depression from being snowed in alone. Magic.

i was jonesing for bruschetta for dinner tonight so i went to the grocery store as one does after jumping in their pandemic tyvek suit. i was out of balsamic and the cashier reached for the 500 ml bottle and knocked it to the ground. it wasn't terribly expensive stuff, but that smell is gonna linger for a bit, i bet. im sorry it wasn't apple sauce or something :(

I did that with Second Skin and not only did it not help but it melted a bit of my dinner table's varnish in the 0.5 seconds between dripping off and trying to clean it up. Good thing my cats and infant are already destroying all furniture!

It has healed by now, though I have an extra flap of skin I'm tempted to excise
