mormonpartyboat posted:ranch Oh right about this: C-SPAM Iron Chef starts on JANUARY 2ND. The thread currently leans towards BURGERNOMICS as the theme (ingredients used must cost less than a Big Mac does in your area). We have today and tomorrow to hear other ideas. C-SPAM IRON CHEF will run until January 15th, and the rest of January will be spent judging each other's entries. In February, January's winner is decided and a new themed challenge begins.

I'm gonna have to give sauerkraut another chance one of these days. Today, though, I'm making beef and bacon stew! Featuring an entire bottle of wine (and I'm gonna finish it off with a splash of brandy)  My favorite color is purple so I'm pleased so far. It's got another 1.5 - 2 hours before it's finished though, so we'll see what happens.

Sauerkraut is only good with Caraway seeds, and even then mostly only if served with mustard. And kimchi is a superior equivalent in almost every case.

Crakkerjakk posted:I'll be honest, I find traditional collard greens overcooked and gross. traditional-style collard greens are overcooked and gross because they're adjusted for traditional cultivars of collard greens. the hybrid cultivars grown today are bred for fast turnaround and high yield, both of which give a desired side effect of tenderness

I'm not sure I want to work with ground beef cheap enough to beat McD's prices, as they buy beef by the megaton. By "work with" I mean "touch".

It's surprisingly expensive though.

Seems like a 5 ounce smash cheeseburger with minimal accoutrements and a supermarket bun could be done for less than $4, even with decent ground beef (20% fat is pretty cheap even if it's not bulk factory-ground beef). I mean it doesn't have to be two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun does it?

i say swears online posted:frankly i didn't even know they farmed bluefin, or any other larger ocean fish. i thought we were still just on crawdads and tilapia, since that's all that's around here It's very new, and it's still very expensive because tuna are voracious eaters and still need a large percentage of their food to be from actual fish, but I think they're working on a feed that can be a larger portion of what they eat. So it's still better from a tuna population perspective, but farmed bluefin still isn't that great for the environment.

hi cspam i made some real good weed cookies last nite, it’s kinda late for holiday cookies but these worked super well w/the strong flavor of the cannabutter. i def recommend this recipe with or without the Secret Ingredient mix your dry ingredients in 1 bowl: 2 1/4 cups flour 2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground clove 1/4 tsp allspice you could add nutmeg but i didn’t have any a dash of salt in a mixing bowl, cream together 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup white sugar, and 3/4 cup+ butter. (i made my cannabutter w/1 cup to start but i’m allowing for some product loss here) add 1 egg & 1/3 cup molasses to the mixer & beat into a thick batter. mix in dry ingredients slowly until a thick dough is achieved, like an oily play-dough. form small balls of dough (i got 30 from a batch), flatten balls slightly, & roll in white sugar. if you wanna get cute, use a fork to gently press in a crosshatch pattern on the top. bake on parchment paper at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes (the cookies will rise, & are ready when they sink back down a bit.) eat carefully
