I'd be interested to know your proximity to a port or major international airport.

Was this the thread that was discussing creamy jalapeño salsa? Can some one point me to the page number? But would it ruin it if I included green bell peppers? Basically I have to go to a party tonight and I have to use up about 8 jalapeños, 3 green bells, and a large onion. It feels like roasting them and throwing them in the processor with cilantro and lime is the right answer, but I’m just not sure about those bells.

The answer to this question is “absolutely “ 99% of the time. The only application where green bell pepper doesn’t make something much worse is as part of Cajun trinity. Sorry about not finding the page for the chat about the sauce, but I’m on mobile right now.

I had some bad poo poo go down last fall that hosed me up mentally for like a year. It sucked and I pretty much quit cooking anything more complicated than a sandwich. But it's fall again and I've started to get my kitchen groove back. I just made a chicken and wild rice skillet bake from scratch that I'm super proud of - it's delicious, fairly simple, and I can easily make it vegan/vegetarian if I choose. Just felt like posting to say thanks for all the info and entertainment - it helps more than you know.

Glad you are getting back into it! Chicken and wild rice is something I grew up with and is still one of my like, top 10 favorite things to eat. Great choice. Hell, why did wild rice seemingly fall out of fashion? It’s still great!

My mom cooked it all the time too! My guess is that it's sometimes more expensive and takes a relatively long time to cook. I wonder why health food/natural diet nerds didn't go for it heavy though, it's a whole grain, hasn't been messed with much genetically, and native to North America!

I thought about it based solely on the cheese and butter ratios mean it is undoubtedly delicious, but even (especially as) a fat dude, it seems like a bit more of an indulgence than I can mentally make myself take on a quinoa dish, if that makes sense. Looks really tasty though

My *GIRLFRIEND* is now in charge of doing weekly Friday breakfasts at her work (it's a startup out of a converted house) and I'm looking for suggestions for large family meals that are inexpensive and easy. They've done waffle bars with success. I was thinking maybe baking breakfast casseroles. We're also in California so we have access to a ton of produce so international suggestions are welcome (just rewatched the Ugly Delicous episode where dave chang advocates for Asian breakfasts are superior). They apparently only have a toaster oven in the house though. Thanks for any help!

He also goes hard on the wings if memory serves. He's visited several places around my home city. Chief amongst them as my favorite, Pierogi Mountain. Which is a little dive that's inside a bar. And they're fantastic.

Guy visited a place not far from my home. They have very good mediterranean with probably the best pita I've had as well as some killer cookies and gelato. They're no longer a dive though, now it's a huge place with vaulted ceilings, a giant door, white columns the works. And sadly, prices that go with all that. It's still super busy though.

I feel like I'm losing my passion for cooking because the people I cook for are picky pains in my rear end: One dislikes pretty much anything heavily spiced in the very broad curry-ish family which eliminates a significant amount of south asian and middle eastern cuisine. She also dislikes tomatos, olives, and cheese (alone or in combination) which throws italian right out the window. Also no fish or seafood of any kind. She will happily eat stir fry and most east asian things (except of course the delicious fermented things)... BUT the other dislikes dishes with soy and is generally fairly non-adventurous. He contributes on occasion with big cooking projects like american barbecue and that's awesome but once a month or so. She hates cooking and I am not willing to have her contribute because while she's got decent technical skills her utter lack of passion or interesting taste means I don't want to eat her food (and she won't be cooking anyway). drat near every cuisine out there I enjoy is eliminated by one or the other pickyass eater. What the gently caress do I do? I want to tell them to shut the gently caress up and eat the food (usually he does, but she whines when it's something she doesn't like) but despite my almost all of the cooking and shopping they pitch in significantly to pay for the food so I want a more harmonious solution than "shut up gently caress you". I'm just getting so loving bored making the handful of things in my repertoire that they'll both eat that don't require huge time investments (since I cook 4 to 5 nights a week I try to keep most things on the relatively quick side with the occasional bigger slower project when I have the time and energy). Besides, if I just make the same things they complain about it. Resting Lich Face fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Oct 9, 2019 |

Stop cooking for them, not because they're monsters (they aren't) but because your cooking makes everyone's lives worse. You're pissy and resentful, obviously unhappy. On their side, do you think they like paying for food they hate? Do you think they enjoy being called morons and babies? Literally everyone is unhappy because you demand to be the only cook. Just let everyone do their own thing, and don't be a contemptuous rear end in a top hat about that either.

Are they just roommates? then gently caress 'em. Are they your children or partners? ehhh not really so simple. You clearly WANT to make them happy and cook for them, but yeah it's making everyone miserable so maybe a time to step back (assuming they won't starve or something) also, for more practical advice, tell them to find recipes (in cookbooks you have, online, whatever) that look good to them that you can make. take some of the mental workload off of yourself. that's the part that sounds like it's really taxing to you (I get it, ditto)

Do what the Indians do. We have extended families. Babies, young children, adult children, old people, and everything in between. Grandma won’t touch anything with garlic. The babbies can’t handle spicy. The kids will eat, but not if toy make the main dish too challenging with regards to spices. Meanwhile, dad and mum just got home from work, and don’t want to be arsed to make 50 different meals for every picky pain in the rear end at the table. The main dish will be edible for everyone. Then, the adults have condiments on the side that suits them. Some like sliced onion, or raw green chilies, or a combination of the two tossed in lemon juice. There are spicy pickles at the table to lend heat and spice and salt and sour. The adults will necessarily want stronger tasting stuff that both grandma and kiddos would turn their nose up at. There will be various super spicy powders that the adults throw over the food to “wake it up”, and they’ll not let the kids in on it until they’re old enough that their parents can tell other parents, “Don’t bother making anything separate for the kids, they can handle spice.” At that point, it becomes a sort of informal rite of passage. You can eat the fiery pickles like the grown ups. That way, bland babby can have her blandness, lazy babby can have food that’s cooked, and everyone can easily adjust the heat as needed.
