@cruft and @hamjobs and/or any other vegetarian cooks in the thread, do you have any instapot recipes that you recommend? Have been subsisting on frozen single-serving veggies, but want to try something new. Note, I have a baby tongue and can't handle anything too spicy. Chipotle peppers are about my max. I know the joys of lentils and beans, but I feel like I never spice them correctly. |

I had carrot bacon this morning and it was really good. My favorite vegan bacon is still just roasting up mushroom bacon at home, but this was really good. I like vegan "substitutes" where you really can't pretend it's the thing in question, but it kind of fills the same ecological niche in the meal, in this case, something kind of smoky, crispy, and chewy. I've had good vegan bacon made out of smoked coconut or seitan that did come close to tasting and feeling like bacon, but I did really enjoy actually tasting the carrot, because carrots taste good.Zil posted:@cruft and @hamjobs and/or any other vegetarian cooks in the thread, do you have any instapot recipes that you recommend? Have been subsisting on frozen single-serving veggies, but want to try something new. Note, I have a baby tongue and can't handle anything too spicy. Chipotle peppers are about my max. Instant pots are great for doing stuff like dal, risotto, or chilis, so if you have a veg recipe for any of those that you like it's super easy to adapt them for the instant pot. Here's a pretty tasty mushroom risotto recipe: https://www.theedgyveg.com/2018/01/17/mushroom-risotto-instant-pot-recipe/ Here's a pot pie soup I've made a few times: https://www.rabbitandwolves.com/vegan-pot-pie-soup/ Here's a really great leek and mushroom chowder, which honestly you might be better off waiting until spring to make https://www.rabbitandwolves.com/vegan-wild-mushroom-leek-chowder/ Veg instant pot chili is pretty easy to eyeball, but this looks like a pretty good template? https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-instant-pot-chili-vegan-oil-free/ I haven't made this but it looks really good and I've done similar stuff just off of guesswork: https://minimalistbaker.com/roasted-red-pepper-chickpea-curry-instant-pot-friendly/ Oh I've had this and it rules too: https://cookieandkate.com/mexican-quinoa-stew-recipe/ I like Minimalist Baker in general: they have a little hub of instant pot recipes here: https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-instant-pot-recipes/ Oh, also, I will say the biggest revelation for me and Bingo Bango was less making a full meal in the instant pot (although we do that a lot) but more how easy it makes to get dried stuff like beans, lentils, etc. ready to go. You will never need to soak cashews overnight ever again. Ditto breakfast stuff-- one of my 2022 resolutions is to get better at eating breakfast regularly instead of just powering through until dinner if I'm busy, and apparently overnight oats are just a thing of the past. You can oat on a dime now. How Wonderful! fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Jan 4, 2022

pixaal posted:Take the time for yourself, your work wont.  Regarding instant pot recipes, unlike How Wonderful, I am super lazy. Mostly what I make in my two instant pots in beans and rice, which is comfort food chez cruft. You can indeed make a bitchin' risotto in the instant pot. And it kicks rear end at stews and soups, where you just dump everything in and wait. For xmas, Ms Cruft got a book that I think More Falafel Please recommended, called "Indian-ish", and it seems like more than half the recipes in there could easily be made in the instant pot with no additional cookware. I guess we're kinda biased toward Indian recipes because Indian food kicks rear end for vegetarians. |

yeah! indian-ish is awesome and Priya is super cool. i met her at a concert in the Before Times and we danced to robyn the book has exactly 3 recipes that aren't vegetarian, and one or two of those is fish. we used to eat the microwave Indian "tasty-bite" stuff a lot when we wanted something moderately healthy without any work, but now we just make masoor dal in the instant pot. 1 cup red lentils, 3 cups water, 1tsp salt, 1tsp turmeric, 10 minutes on high pressure, natural pressure release. squeeze in the juice of a lime, taste for salt, garnish with cilantro! we usually make basmati rice at the same in the rice cooker but you could serve it with whatever. she also highly suggests making a "chonkk" which is a ghee (or oil) based condiment that is super easy to make as well and lets you add some heat but have it be customizable for the person eating it. her basic chonkk is 2tbsp ghee (or olive oil), 1tbsp cumin seed, a dried chili and a pinch of cayenne (I like heat so I tend to go hard with the pinch). you heat the fat until it's shimmering, dump the cumin seed in and cook for like 5-10 seconds max, once it starts changing color take it off the heat and add in your hot stuff. you could also totally omit the heat if you don't want it and just get hot toasted cumin seed fat, which is amazing. i just drizzle some of that on top of my bowl of rice and dal and that's dinner

my gramma turned 93 (!!!) but our province is going into lockdown tomorrow so dinner out turned into pizza at my cousins house with a modest amount of family. it was nice! i got to meet a very fresh, (less than a month), old baby named russell which is the name of one of my oldest friends but a strange name for a baby, i think. since finding out that my brother named his son lincoln unaware of uncle lincoln i've been thinking a lot about baby names and i should ask my siblings, or parents this, but i'm also curious to ask folk here the same thing. how do you name a human? isn't it utterly terrifying? don't you think of all the ways the name could be used in a mocking playground rhyme? how do you decide? how often is the picked name rejected upon birth? having a child is, to me, a terrifying amount of responsibility but the whole naming process seems especially tricky. maybe if i have kids i'll just wait and let them pick?

We basically threw suggestions at each other until we found a name we both liked. Doesn't matter now because our daughter turned out to be a son and chose a new name which we're in the process of making official and legal. How Wonderful! posted:One thing I've learned is that you can always change it later You can, but how easy it is depends on jurisdiction. An affidavit, notary republic, newspaper article and a potential hearing are part of the process here in Maryland. Which all take a bunch of time and money, and may end up refused anyway. |

speaking of Indian-ish, we (my wife specifically) made a recipe out of it we hadn't made before today, the aloo gobi. it's pretty different from aloo gobi I've had at restaurants, not sure if it's a regional thing or just "this is how I like to make it". but anyway there's no sauce, it's roasted potatoes/cauliflower sautéed with onions/spices/oil. we also made some frozen fish sticks because we didn't have enough potatoes to make it a main, but it was good and pretty easy! it's also supposed to have cilantro but we didn't have any and it's covidy out there

Heather Papps posted:how do you name a human? isn't it utterly terrifying? don't you think of all the ways the name could be used in a mocking playground rhyme? how do you decide? how often is the picked name rejected upon birth? 1. does not lend itself too easily to a mocking playground rhyme. 2. is easy to spell from hearing it, and easy to pronounce from seeing the spelling. 3. it's ideal for it to be funny if it's not in a mean way, e.g. "Matt Black", "Emerald Green" or "Cat Doggs" would all be fun names to have. This also short-circuits anyone trying to make fun of your name, because it's already funny (but you won't be upset by people saying it because it's your name not some rude mangling of it), and it makes you more memorable and thereby primes you for doing something where your name would be on a book cover or in some credits or something later, if that's the sort of thing you want. |

It took me a really long time in PA but some of that was COVID throwing wrenches into everything; I actually wound up having a nice rapport with the one guy at City Hall who knew where everything was, and I finally met him in person in the flesh at the very end of the processes after the certified copies of my name change got lost in the mail so he told me to just come on down to Center City to pick up new ones in person.

Have been subsisting on frozen single-serving veggies, but want to try something new. Note, I have a baby tongue and can't handle anything too spicy. Chipotle peppers are about my max. I'm not vegetarian, but I rarely cook meat at home! One of my go-to's is my mom's lentil soup. Ingredients are: 1 cup of lentils (rinsed) 2-3 larger potatoes cubed 2-3 stalks of celery sliced Button mushrooms sliced 1 large carrot sliced 3-4 (or more) cloves of garlic minced 1 large white or yellow onion diced 1 quart or tomato juice and 1 quart water Italian herbs(basil, rosemary, thyme, parsley, etc.) A bay leaf or two Paprika and/or cayenne pepper (I also like adding chili flakes or a few dried chilis) Salt and pepper to taste. Basically just put everything in a pot and simmer. It's a fairly variable recipe. I've added some canned tomatoes into it before to thicken it up, added different veggies, etc. I have found it's best to avoid cabbage and greens like that because it kind of waters things down and to use pure tomato juice. The mixed veggie juice was a bit too busy! Goes great with a little parmesan on top or with a grilled cheese or quesadilla! |
