Can't forget their acclaimed "hogs in hoodies" which was literally 5 lil' smokies wrapped in pillsbury puff pastry, served with a side of gulden's mustard (like literally on the menu it calls out Gulden's as if that is a mark of prestige, and not six cents worth of condiment) For ten bucks Robert siestema's review famously says that the resturant had no central concept, but I'm fairly sure he was deeply incorrect in that assumption. The central concept was "how much money can we make if all we do is buy cheap stuff from the grocery store and mark it up 700%?" Not enough, apparently

Thanks! And yeah it is lol. It ended up being enough food for like half a week even though I was eating it for every meal (and then some cause it was too tasty). One thing I can say about my frozen food diet is that it's made eating the same thing every day very normal for me so I didn't mind it much. The recipe definitely calls for like, half the number of beans I used though. Really messed up the mix of flavors having that many. postmodifier posted:The central concept was "how much money can we make if all we do is buy cheap stuff from the grocery store and mark it up 700%?" I used to work in the grocery store deli at the place I shop now, and we'd sell these buffalo wings for roughly 1$ per wing that were just basic cooked wings slathered with frank's red hot. It's part of what got me to try using it in my cooking lmfao fart store posted:Congrats. Knowing how to cook is invaluable, and learning how to cook is fun and rewarding. Nice, will check these out.

GrAviTy84 posted:This smoking meat fb group I'm in has been posting something called georgia stew lately. Anyone know anything about it? I guess it's also called Brunswick stew? Recipes online look like pulled pork, chicken things, corn, potato, okra, lima beans, and tomato. Sounds like it's either really good or really bad, no in between. It's super common in the south. Especially with BBQ. I have never liked it.

Point of note: sweetened condensed milk is definitely not the same as evaporated milk. For as much as I love baked mac & cheese, "sweet" is not really a flavor I want in it.

Boiling the macaroni in sugared water rather than salted water would be a nice way to ensure uniform sweetness, too. Maybe, I dunno, I just made that up.

Just add the ketchup to the water as you're boiling the noodles to impart that flavor profile!

We did a volunteer day in Harlem, and it was catered by Sylvia’s. Except no one remembered the got dang hot sauce. I strode over to the nearest bodega like an avenging angel, scooped up some Valentina and something vinegar based, and returned to actual applause. gently caress outta here, sugar fiends.

I don't actually know much about it either, I just worked in a restaurant that stopped using the word anywhere near their food for being on the wrong end of too many phone calls complaining about tradition. E: we kept whatever the most common strain of orthodox kosher was in the area, it was people being precious with Ashkenazi cuisine in particular.

I've been visiting my mom for a couple of weeks and I noticed that she leaves food out on the stove all the time. She'll make a big pot of stew (meat and vegetables) and serve from the pot and then just lets the rest sit on the stove until the next day where she'll heat it up again and then let it sit for a couple of more days. It's not just stew either but things like cooked meats. Right now I'm making breakfast for myself and there's a plate of braised chicken sitting on the counter covered up with one of those microwave splatter things that's been there since last night. She also defrosts frozen chicken/duck/meat by putting it in a bowl to catch anything that leaks out and leaves it on the counter for ~24 hours (leave out dinner time, cook the next day). She has a huge fridge with a lot of room so I have no idea what the deal is. Luckily I don't have to eat any of this poo poo because of a difference in diet (but even so, I would never eat anything she cooks after seeing this cause it's clear she doesn't think bacteria are real.)

How old is your mom? This is a (disgusting) thing that a lot of elderly people do and it will eventually injure someone, probably her. Sometimes it’s because they don’t have the strength to carry a heavy pot anymore and instead of asking for help they start telling themselves that it’s “too much trouble” and they were fine before so obviously science is wrong. Don’t ask her, just throw out anything that’s been out or individually portion and refrigerate or freeze anything new. You will get yelled at. Do it anyway.

I heard the FDA is allowing companies to sell chicken with tumors in them. How bad is that for you? Is there a way to identify these tumors from sight in the supermarket and avoid that chicken?

Fuuuuuuuuck Borscht is so good. I made and ate it for the first time in my life I always thought it was just beets and cabbages in soup. Little did I know it’s balls deep in meat I used Daniel Gritzer’s recipe on Serious Eats. The only minus is that kielbasa seems to clash with the rest of the soup Edit: it’s come to my attention that kielbasa has a long history of going with borscht, but everything else like the shortribs and pork belly are so much nicer to chew and seem so much more appropriately rustic Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Oct 12, 2020 |

She just doesn’t see anything wrong with it and in the case of leaving stew out over the stove she says it’s fine as long as you reheat it. If I think about this longer I do remember seeing pots of stock/soup/stew sitting on the stove during my childhood and at my grandparents house and so on so it’s not a new behavior. I’m not trying to make excuses for her but I think it’s a generational/cultural thing? Don’t know how I can get her to change that after a lifetime of it being normal (and I bet she’ll say “well I’m still alive and so are you”).

The second try used cherry, but it turned a god awful green color from some sort of novel reaction to the smoke, and was overly smokey. I'll get it one of these days.

Leaving your soup on the stove is an old thing but even cookbook author Michael Ruhlman did it and tweeted about it in 2011 and it set off a big internet argument. Ruhlman defended the practice saying that we are overly cautious of bacteria, but I guess he finally caved in when Harold McGee pointed out that spores can survive cooking and that cooking won’t remove toxins already produced by microbes https://ruhlman.com/2011/04/04/easy-chicken-stock-recipe/

My mom also does that and she learned it from her mom and I learned it from her until one day in college I made a big pot of some stew and left it out overnight and it spoiled really fast and I looked up why. That's just how we learned to cook and it's got nothing to do with age or depression or anything. Cook thing, leave it out, being it to a roiling boil every time you reheat and it's "fine."
