I love meaningless nonspeak like 'made from scratch'. Yes, of course it is. You have to start with base ingredients to make something. You can't just peel a half-ready crust from a tree and add some finishing touches to it.

The Pizza Hut two towns away from me delivers beer, which wasn't something I thought TABC would let happen. But it's a thing now. e. like, legit delivers alcohol, not "tell the driver to pick up a case of beer on the way and I'll pay him back" delivers alcohol.

You can take Campbell's condensed soup, make it according to the can recipe. Add, like, some cheese or parsley. And legally can call something "house made" on a restaurant menu. Caveat, I took the class over a decade ago at this point so that may have changed. But it's still interesting.

Don't most restaurants serve soups and chili and stuff like that either out of Baltimore or buckets, bags or #10 cans and just add a little something else to it? I assumed that was the normal.

I assumed that was the normal. Yeah, but I was just using a little thing I learned for an interesting fact. I know the hospital I cook at, we're actually making our soups fresh. Because most commercially available things have to much salt for low sodium diets.

I have like 2-3 pounds of pork fat from some local, fancy organic farm sitting in my freezer waiting to be made into lard but I'm too scared to do it because I've never made lard before. Also what the gently caress will I do with 2 pints of lard since a pound of fat roughly equals one pint??? That's a lot of lard! I also have 2 pork hocks in there waiting to be cooked but I've only ever cooked smoked pork hocks with beans before so I'm kind of at a loss with those as well. I kind of want to try making Pata tim since I only need star anise to do it and I can get that from the local international market easy.

So I tried some of those new Zombie Skittles: https://thetakeout.com/review-zombie-skittles-flavor-taste-test-1837998870 It's sad, because the non "rotting flesh" ones are actually really good and they should make a skittles mix out of them...but oh lordy loo, those zombie ones. I've had several of the "bad" flavors from those Harry Potter/Jelly Belly "Bertie Bots" beans and none of them, not even the skunk or vomit, come close to the wretchedness that is these "rotting flesh" Skittles. I bit into one, and spit it out immediately, was almost dry heaving, and thankfully had some soda nearby I could wash my mouth out with. Water wasn't going to cut it. They aren't marked in any way, either...they can be any color. So you can't just pick them out. My GF got the big bag full of small bags for trick or treaters, and now I don't think we can in good conscience hand these out to little kids who will have no idea that there is 1 or 2 nasty ones in each little bag.

You can render the pork fat and use it without making it into lard first. If you use lard to make pastry or pie doughs, you might go through a pint of it really quickly, as well. The pie crusts I've found that use lard use 1/3 to 1/2 a cup (about 1/4 a pint) of lard per crust. http://www.passionforpork.com/8-things-to-do-with-your-rendered-pork-fat/ A couple recipes for un-smoked hocks. https://www.quick-german-recipes.com/pork-hocks-recipe.html http://www.martinskitchen.co.uk/recipe/slow-roast-pork-hocks/

I really wish I could buy quantity of the black pepper flavor from the Harry Potter (I know, eat another candy...) jelly beans, they're legit good. Also, I want a candy bowl with sardine and earwax flavors mixed just to keep people on their toes.

Definitely give them to the handful of teenagers in low-effort costumes that show up occasionally, gently caress those guys.

I don't mind if older kids show up and go trick-or-treating - that's like an extra few hours they aren't doing other poo poo like smashing pumpkins or whatever. But loving put a little work into your costume. Not saying money, but walking up to me in an armor suit made out of mountain dew bottles is fun. A regular hoodie with some red face paint is going to get you the zombie skittles.

That's a good idea. I should get a pack of Zombie Skittles just to give out to older kids in lovely costumes. Everyone else gets full sized bars at my house.
