Spent 3 hours with local anesthetic at 9pm on a Sunday, surgeon took them out and moved them slightly. Not nearly as painful as the original implants, but the time reset blows.

And the rare occasion we have Triscuits in the house I'll pop two or three of these when nobody is around to see my shame.

I'm not a huge coconut fan but honestly I've never really been able to taste it in a finished curry. If you can taste the coconut you either have too much milk or not enough paste.

North Thai curries do not use coconut because there's no coconut growing there. Jungle, or northen curry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaeng_pa If you find it with coconut then it is probably westernized to make it less spicy. But usually it should be similar herbs and spice to a southern curry, but probably more on the shrimp paste and fish sauce than southern coconut curries. E: Plus they usually have simpler grill meat, stirfry veg type and add rice recipes. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Oct 9, 2017 |

Tiggum posted:I've mostly had Thai food at restaurants, because a few of my friends really like it. I generally just put up with the coconut, because I don't hate it, I'd just prefer that not everything on the menu tasted so strongly of it. But here's an example of a northern curry with Burmese influence (who had influence from Indian curries). Note the tumeric, cardamom, tamarind, cassia etc and complete lack of coconut. Northern thai pork curry Main: 500g pork belly or ribs 12 red shallots, peeled 3T palm sugar 1/4 cup fish sauce 1/4 tamarind water 1-2 cups water optional peanuts Curry paste: 2T standard red curry paste (you could make it yourself from scratch but...) plus: 1tsp tumeric 1T coriander seeds, roasted and ground 2 tsp cumin seeds, roasted and ground 3 star anise, roasted and ground 2cm peice of cassia bark/cinnamon stick, roasted and ground 5 cloves, roasted and ground 2 cardamom pods roasted and ground (note could replace all the above with powders at a pinch, but I never have) Garlic and ginger paste 4 garlic cloves 1/2 tsp salt 2cm piece of ginger Directions: make the curry paste, make the garlic and ginger paste separate by grinding in a mortar and pestle, and set them both aside. Blanch the pork twice, set aside to cool. Then dice. Fry the garlic and ginger paste, add pork to mix and stir fry 1 min, then add the curry paste and stir fry 1min before adding shallots. After everything has some colour and fragrance, add tamarind water, fish sauce, sugar and water (start with 1 cup, adding more if needed). Simmer for one hour or until pork is tender. Adding optional peanuts to serve. Original recipe has red curry paste made from scratch of course, and a whole heap of ginger and garlic in the 'main' section for late additions. But I like to spend less money in ingredients and also less time. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Oct 9, 2017 |

Lots of canned fake meat stuff too, which ironically is probably better than most of the other stuff. I know vietnamese food can be good since I've tasted other vietnamese peoples food (there are quite a lot living here). I've even made better vietnamese food myself from internet recipes!

I like tomato sauce (ketchup). On hotdogs, on chicken nuggets, on pies, on sausage rolls, even on chips if there's no mayonnaise. I know it's one of the most popular condiments that exists, it just seems like around here this is an unpopular opinion.

For most of my adult life I put tomatoes in the fridge. I guess I thought "raw tomatoes are a sort of salad-y thing so into the salad/crisper draw they go!". I wish somebody had told me about the LOSS OF drat FLAVOUR thing all those years ago. Even lovely, watery, supermarket tomatoes retain some flavour when kept out...who knew? To redeem myself, I've always kept eggs unrefrigerated but that's only correct if you're in a land of non-weirdly-washed eggs. For an idiotic culinary eureka moment, I've only had a fan oven for a few years. It's not a particularly fancy one but it's decent and a lack of (much) preheating and even temperatures are great. When you turn it off the fan continues running in the cool-down phase. Often it can go for 10/15 mins before fully shutting off, depending on how long/hot it has been going. Embarrassingly recently it dawned on me that if you leave the loving oven door open after you're finished then it will cool faster and the fan will shut off after a matter of less than a minute or two. That should be obvious to anyone who has let the heat out on a soufflé/yorkshire pudding or something but apparently not me!

Tomato sauce is necessary for sausage rolls or poo poo pies. I never have them on chips (prefer sweet chilli sauce - or just chicken salt, or salt and vinegar), and I don't eat hot dogs or nuggets. But tomato sauce on sausage rolls or a cheap pie like 4n20 or sargents is the done thing.

I couldn't live without ketchup. And Heinz is my favorite, just sooo much better than the local brand that used to be top dog (Felix). I also like plain old tabasco, I've tried all sorts of brands and stuff but I always come back to plain standard tabasco. That and the rooster brand sriracha sauce (the other one tastes vile, is it a duck?) His Divine Shadow fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Oct 9, 2017 |

Fo3 posted:Fair enough. Either they are southern Thai restaurants or they cater to that because most people expect that when thinking 'Thai food', so that is what sells. A lot of northern Thai is more Indian or Chinese influenced and grew up around coconut not even being available. Some further south without a fresh supply use coconut oil though - get some of the flavour but it's way more transportable. Coconut oil is make like clarified butter or like how ghee is made, reduce until separated. This recipe is a good thing.

It's harder to find discussion on reconstruction than I'd like. I couldn't find a single A/T thread about it, and there aren't many forums. I only need a maxillary and partial mandibulary, but this is a huge, expensive, painful operation so I want to be sure that it goes well.

I don't think I've cooked corn in any way other than throwing it (husk on) directly on the embers of whatever I'm grilling in mayyyyybe 3 years? cool tip I learnt at alinea, the husks of corn are actually the most amazing part - the vegetable is almost garbage by comparison. if you toast cornhusks/stalk/silk in an oven or over a grill until they're a little golden brown, and then steep them like a tea in boiled water and strain, they make the most amazing clear golden brown broth. add a little salt and sugar and it's like the corniest flavor you'll ever taste. so good. Manuel Calavera posted:(totinos) This is true, yes. Even on their own. But adding toppings makes it better. Something about that oily crispy dough. my topping jam is the spiciest hot sauce I feel like tolerating. I settle on dis vvvvvv pretty often - has a nice salt/acid/sweet/spice balance for the grease, and isn't so hot I have to take a bite or two and pause or anything.
