Robot Made of Meat posted:I noticed that your anecdote mentioned a "we" who did the eating. Shouldn't this "we" be doing the cleanup? My very wonderful wife did a lot of the cleanup. The pan is soaking so ideally the mozzarella has been taking damage over time from the hot soapy mix over the last 18 hours.

Yeah it's so much cheaper to cook food yourself it's ridiculous. And it's not like you need a super expensive kitchen, an iron pan and a chef's knife and a wood cutting board and like 3 bowls will do it. Set something on fire and go.

BoldFrankensteinMir posted:This is what's known in fine cooking as Mise En Place, which is French for Everything In Place. Basically be super anal about keeping all your tools and ingredients ready, and keep a schedule for prep, yeah. It cuts cooking time by like 9/10 and is absolutely essential in a professional kitchen. I saw once a menu with all the prep times, said "that's the best idea ever!" and have still never done it. |

Jolo posted:I spent most of yesterday night making a Chicken Parmesan soup recipe that I found online. It turned out really well, but it also took like 3 hours of chopping onions and simmering them, shredding cheeses, mincing garlic, shredding chicken etc. When we'd finished eating, I gazed into the kitchen at the gigantic mess and briefly considered just abandoning the house completely and starting over fresh in a new city. I think the problem with that is that it takes so much time and people don't really have a lot of time to do things these days. Sometimes I'm too tired from a long busy day to prepare dinner That kind of stuff sounds like a nice weekend thing to do for me but I feel that pain too well especially being a neat freak. |

I don't like owning things or watching ads, so the current over the top model works pretty well. My mom hasn't paid for cable for 8 years. We have Crave and Netflix and she got me Crave so I could watch Star Trek so we're done with it when that's done. |

Once I spent so much time on a dish that it took multiple dishwasher loads and I still had to hand wash so much stuff in order to get everything clean. I still love to cook but I use pam liberally now. The first time I tried cooking eggs on a non greased pan was the last time. I don’t even really trust any of my non-stick pans anymore. I have a cast iron pan that is always on my stove but, ironically, rarely gets used unless I’m cooking something with a high fat content (like bacon) Jolo posted:My very wonderful wife did a lot of the cleanup. The pan is soaking so ideally the mozzarella has been taking damage over time from the hot soapy mix over the last 18 hours. patch tuesday hotfixes applied: palmolive curse of grease penetration can be applied multiple times but has diminishing returns bfm’s bold apron now provides additional defense vs splatter

We have a hotplate and I don't recommend it. Eventually we just stopped using it altogether because veggies and soup can be microwaved and we have various things that works better if the food needs direction application of heat |

My girlfriend makes a whole business out of buying up vintage clothes and selling them back online, and meanwhile I like to check out the "stuff" and electronics section for various hidden valuables. Neat finds include an RCA Switch Box + S-Video (perfect for my old systems and old TV), a Game Doctor that resurfaces old discs (works better than one would think), a 720p PC monitor with HDMI with scratches (I use it as an auxiliary monitor but after applying some Vaseline it's very difficult to see the scratches without looking for them, particularly when it's on) and this awesome old thing-  he protects my PC from viruses AND evil spirits!

Crockpot really is the original cooking robot. Put stuff in it in the morning, come home to dinner. Carrots and onions and celery and meat, roasted together: that's like 3/4 of fine French cuisine right there.

Crock pots are also great for babby's first "professional" meal since it's not hard to make food without following a recipe.

I'm just waiting it out. I've been eating a lot of salad. Salad is fine, it has things I like. But I'm getting teeth grind-y over not having my appliances from Menard's yet. Week nine hundred and seventy six of January.

Also it'd be nice to be able to find my high quality live Damien Rice/Lisa Hannigan stuff. I Remember is so loving good live and fits my mood today but the YouTube recordings are rear end, and I'm pretty sure Alice didn't send me any of my DVDs that I have left. I'm still unpacking, so I hope they're in the stuff.

As far as I can tell some places decent stuff never even hits the floor, they ship it elsewhere to be listed on Amazon/Ebay. Most thrift stores around me don't do this, they have category-wide prices and you can find great stuff. However tgere has been a very recent trend here where "premium" secondhand stores go buy up all the good stuff from the cheap, simple thrifts and sell them for like $20 instead of 4. This results in a lot of the good finds disappearing before I get to them  I get it bc i love thrifting and i wouldn't mind making a job out of it, but as a thrift shopper it's cramping my style
