If you have a recipe I'd love to see it. At some point, you have to trust your nose. I've done a fair amount of fermenting over the last few years, and the food has gone bad a handful of times, maybe 4 times out of 200-300 or so. Just smell it, and you'll know. If it smells like it's supposed to, you are all good. Otherwise, toss it. I smell every jar of pickles/preserves that I open. Hell, I smell everything before I put it in my mouth.

If you have a recipe I'd love to see it. And as long as that's happening, the chances of anything else happening that'll make you sick are almost zero. So: salt to start, then make sure you've got active fermentation. If you got that, everything else is just tweaking.

I also have a question about things going bad, tahini in my case. I made some hummus and ate a bunch of it and found it a bit bitter so I searched and apparently bitter tahini is a sign that it's gone rancid. Is this bad? I had a bad bout of food poisoning last week and really don't want to go through that again...

Most food doesn't cost enough money to bother taking that risk. If you made something with it that was weird and then got sick just chuck it.

Rancidity is a taste issue and not a safety issue. Still, you should throw it out because it's disgusting

Weird open-ended question- what do you all make for breakfast during the week? I'm sick of eating the same one or two things every morning before work but also want to eat something healthier and not just cop out with a bagel every day. A couple of good breakfast recipes that can be cooked while half-awake would be much appreciated.

Serious suggestion, tamagoyaki. It's too involved to do in the morning but it keeps well in the fridge for days because of all the additions to the eggs, so you could make a bunch for later. Hard boiled eggs are another good morning option. A lot of Korean banchan are chilled and could be made in advance to shovel into your gob. I can't fathom sacrificing sleeping time to cook in the morning.

Make a quiche the night before, cut a chunk for breakfast. If you don't have time to pop it in the oven to warm up, nuke it for a bit, or even eat it cold. A single pan makes like 6 breakfasts, or 1 if you hate yourself and wash everything down with copious amounts of bleach. Cheese and ham for protein, add spinach for fiber. Just make sure whatever you toss into the egg custard has as much liquid removed as possible.

I scramble two eggs by cracking them directly into the pan and breaking the yolks and mixing them around with a spatula, add a pinch of salt. When they're about done throw in a big pinch of shredded cheese. While you're doing this, char two small tortillas in a dry pan. Put eggs in tortillas, top with a tablespoon of hot salsa each. That and my homemade cold brew coffee are what get me through most days.

I throw some oil in a small skillet and toss some mushrooms in, after about a minute or two I throw in some ham and let that cook for another minute or two. While thats going on I scramble some eggs then pour it directly onto the mushrooms and ham and let that cook for a bit until its read to flip. Caveat, I never successfully flipped this so its just some complicated method of scrambled egg so it generally gets tossed into a tortilla with some cheese.

Breakfast at 07:00 sharp: 3 to 5 black coffee Lunch at 12:00 sharp: two cheese sandwiches (made with whole-wheat bread) and some vegetables and/or nuts to snack on. I do this every weekday and it isn't boring to me at all. (I'm just glad I don't have to think about what to prepare for lunch, so I can make this stuff while I'm waking up with coffee)

I typically make smoothies. You can make two at a time the night before. My recipe is: 1+ cup of plain greek yogurt A banana 2 or 3 handfuls of spinach or kale (probably a little less if you don't want to taste it at all) 2 handfuls of whatever fruit you have around. I usually use frozen fruit and mix cherries and peaches or peaches and mango. Enough milk to make it blend. That makes 2 mason jars, sometimes a little more. You can also put fruit in jars or containers and then top them with yogurt. If you only want to dirty your blender once, do this: 1) Put fruit A in blender. Blend. Put most of it into a jar or two 2) Put fruit B, which tastes good with fruit A, in blender. Blend. Put it into another jar or two. 3)Top both with yogurt. 4) Make smoothie. Now you have smoothies and snacks!

Eggs and rice is my staple. Leftover rice gets microwaved along with whatever I have for leftovers that seems appropriate, stir fry veggies, meat, whatever. Cool eggs over easy and serve over the rice with soy sauce. With Kim Chee if I don't have to talk with anyone first thing in the morning.

My girlfriend makes me overnight oats in a mason jar that I heat in the microwave in the morning. Standard oats, almond milk to cover, add fresh fruit, maybe some honey or brown sugar. Refrigerate overnight.

Cool eggs over easy and serve over the rice with soy sauce. With Kim Chee if I don't have to talk with anyone first thing in the morning. Better to fry the rice. It makes the starches in the rice break down more slowly, which is (counter-intuitively) healthier than eating plain rice.

Refrigerate overnight. This is also good. If you make a bunch you can also put different toppings in little plastic baggies and keep them around. I make the overnight oats totally plain and then I can pick whatever spice/toppings mix I want in the morning.

Steel cut oats have been mentioned, but give savory oats a shot. Steel cut oats, sea salt, pepper, and parmesan is a good option. You can fry an egg to put on top as well. Makes a really nice change from sweet oats.

Peanut butter and cinnamon work well too. I had asked about this earlier this year, but I finally found the restaurant's actual description for the dish, and I want to make it for my wife and I's anniversary. It's a lasagna with "housemade sausage, pan Marzano tomoatoes, pecorino, mozzarella, ricotta, bescimella (bechamel?), and basil. Is there a good recipe out there for something similar that I can modify to fit? There's no bolognese sauce involved on this one. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Oct 6, 2016 |

Anyone got a recipe for old school fruitcake? Everywhere I look has 'improved' or 'lighter' fruitcakes and gently caress that poo poo, I want the nine pound fruitcake that has eleven different colors of neon dried fruit, takes half an hour to chew, and is loving GLORIOUS if you remember to spritz it with a little booze once in a while. Gimme the rudest, densest, ingot-est fruitcake recipe you got.

Thanks for the suggestions breakfast goons, I've done a couple of those in the past but I'm horribly uncreative so it's nice hearing other people's takes.Grand Fromage posted:I can't fathom sacrificing sleeping time to cook in the morning. I like having a long time to wake up in the morning before work (ideally up at 7, leave at 8) so I figure I might as well make something good in that time, especially since I get pretty hungry by lunch. hogmartin posted:A bagel doesn't have to be a cop-out, spread labneh instead of cream cheese and put some tomato slices on it. For a while they were my "running late, this can cook while I do other morning prep" breakfast but then I just started having them every day and I don't really need the carbs that early in the morning, given that I sit all day at work.

The whole serving 100 people, then getting married thing was just the next logical step after that.
