I was, but I moved to China a while back. Though this would apply there too, in Korea you cover meat with sugar but complain if a cake is sweet.

I'm going to try to just do it full sugar but if not I need a backup idea.

I know this isn't really what you asked for, but there are alternative cookies which can be made less sweet probably. I'm thinking shortbread could be made fairly non-sweet. If you take that to the extreme it's essentially just pie crust, so the sugar is less important to a good shortbread than it would be to a drop cookie.

Peanut butter cookies would go over well but we already have supplies for chocolate chip, so we're stuck with them for now. I may just get a bag of sugar by myself and go rogue and take over on baking day.

Well based on your confidence, I'll definitely go out and grab another bottle, thanks. As far as other ingredients are concerned, I sourced it all from Fuschia Dunlop's book Every Grain of Rice, which seems to be, at least to this novice, very accurate about what's what.

She knows her poo poo, yeah. I'd trust her over me, she studied it properly. My knowledge of Sichuan food is from her and from observing the cooks when I go out, I've been living in Sichuan a little while now. I'm not sure what city she learned in, there are regional variations in Sichuan and I only know anything about Chengdu food. Chongqing is the other big one with its own style, and then there are all kinds of little variations all over the province. Sichuan + Chongqing (which was part of Sichuan until recently and culturally is the same) is like 120 million people so there's plenty of variety.

Moving in a few months and new roommate is super excited about buying a chest freezer and entire brokendown cow. He claims that it can feed a family for a year eating meat on the regs. How true is this? The only broken down animal I've had to deal with is half a deer I bought.

Depends on the size of the family, and it includes using the bones for soups, but yes it will.

Basically you can get a month or thereabouts from a sheep or good sized goat, 4 to 6 months for a hog, and 9 months to a year for a steer. This is assuming you consume basically nothing else meat wise in that time frame.

What's the difference between those cheap rice cookers and the expensive ones and can someone recommend me a cheapish one?

Cooks Illustrated just reviewed these and rated the $30 Aroma as roughly on par with the $270 Zojirushi for casual consumers, and far, far cheaper.

I bought it and I don't regret it! When I buy my next one, I'll probably upgrade to fuzzy logic. But the Aroma is beating the pants off my old steamer-style Cusinart Rice Cooker that I wore out.

Also, check out the product recommendations thread. I just had this conversation there. :)

Just a warning about the Aroma cookers; the nonstick later on their pots is complete poo poo, and the bottom will peel off. The inside should be okay as long as you don't use metal utensils, but be careful while washing so that you don't get any flakes from the bottom inside the pot.

I'm thinking about getting a new rice cooker because my current dumb roommate keep using metal utensils so the pot is scratched to all hell. No flaking, just giant cuts and scrapes. Still functions so many not worth it.

I do notice that it's slightly burning rice in some spots so maybe it's just because it's nearly 10 years old.

Depending on the model you could just get a replacement inner bowl made of aluminum.

Or buy a new one made of aluminum.

Also the toasted rice on the edges is not necessarily a bad thing... before they were exposed to sugary pastries, Koreans ate it as a dessert

I just assembled a cheap propane BBQ. After turning on the gas and hitting the ignitor, I think it's lit - it's radiating heat - but there's no visible flame. None at all.
Is this normal?

Heat = flame. The background light might be such that you can't see it, but it's there. Dome/cover the cheap grill and you should see the flame. Some cheap grills will light only a portion of the heat elements though.

Also, if you smoke or even if you don't, you can always try to burn something disposable to confirm the flame.

Man, toppers tastes like poo poo when I'm sober, but when I'm super loving three sheets, a order of taco sticks and garlic sauce is goddamn food nirvana sometimes.

I don't get drunk, and I still swear by their loving cuban pizza. Mozz, pulled pork, canadian bacon, and dill pickles, with honey mustard for sauce. It has no right being so goddamn tasty.

So Gordon Ramsey's recipe for crispy skin salmon involves cutting grape tomatoes in half, seasoning lightly, and leaving them overnight in the oven with the pilot on. I have a gas oven/stove, but there's no pilot light. What's the best way to get the same results with the tomatoes? Just broil for a few minutes?

Do vegetables and leafy greens lose any nutritious value if kept in a fridge for long periods? Like, do kale or cabbage vitamins fade into the ether if I don't eat them for a week or two?

Oven Dry at between 150 to 175 for about 10 hours - or at 225 for 4 hours. Twice that time if you REALLY want them dessicated and chewy.

edit: when you're cooking those cut tomatoes, add unpeeled garlic cloves to the same tray and let that cook alongside them.

we used to use a 'falling oven' in cases like that. basically heat the oven to 200C, put the toms in, close the door, then turn off the oven and leave them there overnight.

http://www.feastingathome.com/2012/11/crispy-berbere-chicken-with-ethiopian-lentils.html breasts instead of thighs, adjust accordingly.

Add tomato Salsa to it, or chimchurri sauce or mango salsa or chutney to it. Always good.

Cube your chicken and bake them alongside onion and pineapple chunks. Or make kebabs, but it's the same either way.

If you cut out the green onions it's low carb!

Or perhaps something a little more... ethnic?

There's a Topper's here in Charlotte and I've only ever heard people speak ill of it. One night when my parents were visiting they got the late night drunk munchies and ordered some - they said it was cold when it was delivered, the cheese had slid off the top during the delivery drive, and it was loving awful. I can't say I've ever tried it but they're pretty serious about their pizza so I believed them.
