My mom still has one of these, and it still works. Shake it up and it keeps shaking (we lived in LA in the 80's during a bunch of bad earthquakes so it was memorabilia more or less).

Naw. Next time you're at a good sushi place ask if you can get grilled tuna collar. They often throw it away or use it for staff meal in the US because Americans are dumb, but it's one of the greatest things you'll ever eat if you can get it. At the sushi place I used to go to when I lived in Vegas they'd give it to me for free since it was unsellable and only the cool kids knew about it.

The thing I don't like about the top down things is how much tiny glass bowls people seem to have to put all the herbs and stuff in to before pouring them in. Cooking from scratch is enough mess as it is, I can't imagine wanting to intentionally give myself an individual dish to wash per ingredient.

Also as someone who didn't serve, I had heard that MREs were terrible and the joke was that MRE stood for "Meal, Rarely Edible." I had basically chalked it up to the fact that soldiers were probably eating them day in and day out and were just sick of them, because I had always liked them whenever I got my hands on them. Then again my family had a box of them in the 90's and we definitely had a bunch of those freeze dried fruit bars that MRE Steve gushes over.

I've considered getting a box for my emergency kits, but they only have a listed shelf-life of 5 years. I did end up getting a couple 7 day (4 serving) kits of freeze dried food because it has a 25 year shelf-life so I can just stuff them under the sink and in my car's trunk and forget about it until I need it.

Hell, I might still get a box of MREs, because they do look delicious at times.

For a shelter in place emergency canned food is fine. It's all pre-cooked and lasts for years and is impervious to insects and mice. It will last longer than the sell-by date, but you can also just buy a new emergency supply once a year and move your old emergency supply to your regular pantry. Canned food tends to be a little salty, so make sure you also have an abundant supply of bottled water. Planning for a disaster where your electricity, gas, water, roads and/or normal food distribution is out for up to 2 weeks canned food is the economical way to go.

You only benefit from the freeze-dried specialized stuff in emergencies where you are going to need to evacuate on foot and carry all your supplies in a backpack. That's like a 72 hour supply max, because you won't be able to carry much water anyway. If you are evacuating by car a crate of canned food is just as useful as a crate of over-priced MREs or dehydrated hiking rations.


Or you could buy buckets of terrible food that claims to last 25 years.

The only bucket food that seemed remotely appealing was those giant costco buckets of mac and cheese. I'm sure they can't be too horrible, especially if you add some hotsauce, but I'm not quite ready to transition into buying my food by the bucket.

I have a bunch of little metal ones, it's actually really useful to have everything prepped and measured beforehand if you're using a bunch of different spices. I have ADHD brain so it keeps me from forgetting an ingredient.

An emergency isn't an apocalypse. If you live somewhere with winter it's possible you'll get a "once in a century" blizzard or ice storm that knocks out power and roads for a week. A big earthquake could knock out services for days. So could widespread flooding. Or a tsunami. A deadly pandemic could get your city quarantined and disrupt normal food distribution for a little while. It's not the end of the world, it's just an unexpected rough time where the government may not be able to get to helping you right away. If you can take care of yourself for a couple weeks that frees up more resources to help the helpless.

My government recommends making some simple common sense preparations against emergencies: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/safety/emergency-preparedness-response-recovery/preparedbc

While hurricane season is a predictable hazard, natural disasters can happen anywhere. In the city, in the country, anywhere.

...do you not have a dishwasher? The little glass bowls are cheap enough, and having all your ingredients measured out and available is super handy when you're multitasking.

It can't hurt to have some shelf-stable food that'll last you a long while on hand. Even if there's never a disaster, it'll still be handy if stuff comes up and you miss grocery day.

You don't have to actually cook it that way when you follow the recipes, it's to make things as clear as possible for the audience.

You only really have to do that for Chinese stir fried dishes since you have to add stuff in order and you don't have time to be prepping while cooking. Even then you combine things that have the same cook time like your garlic and ginger.

It's more that kitchen stuff tends to pile up, and it's always a big pain in the rear end to get rid of (and even bigger to take with me) every time I move. If you start with the tiny glass bowls maybe it's not that big a deal, but next thing you know you'll have various sizes of whisks, blenders, more than one plate...it's just too much.

They're nice, because I hate wasting water; and those little cups are tiny enough to stuff in random space in the dishwasher, and small enough to toss in a pot of hot wash water.

I also rarely remember to do mis-en-place, which is actually kinda appreciated in photos for sure, since i can be "they got 8 things, i only got 4.... what is missing" because adhd brain fucks me up a lot too.

but I really wish recipes more clearly listed what ingredients can be combined up front so i can measure and dump into a bowl while gathering.

This is the Anti Food Porn thread so I'll tell you my secret for CannonFodder's Chinese Stir Fry.

Ingredients:

1 pound of protein. Meat, Tofu, Tiny Pastries, you know the drill.
1 can each of bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, baby corn, all drained and the baby corn is chopped into d6 sized chunks. Sometimes there are cans with all three combined! If so, go with that.
1 bag of frozen veggies that have a description like "broccoli stir fry mix" because it needs some pre cooked broccoli but not like a bunch also it will fill in the edges
3-4 green onions chopped and set aside for the end
SPICES: Garlic. Ginger. Chinese 5 spice. Turmeric.
A bottle of Kikkoman Stir Fry sauce
Canola oil
Sesame oil


On the side make an appropriate amount of rice.

Process:

*CORRIGDENDEM*
Protein should be cooked first EXCEPT FOR SMALL PASTRIES WHICH GO IN AT THE END

put oils in wok, heat on medium, add garlic and ginger
add non-small pastry protein, cook for a bit. get some color and firmness but not too much
when they're good, add canned veggies, then microwave frozen veggies as per bag instructions
add hot former frozen veggies, 5 spice, turmeric, and stir fry sauce
stir
stir
*IF SMALL PASTRIES* add chopped small pastries to already hot mess, they will cook quickly

serve with rice, top with chopped green onion

It's a wok on an electric coil so only the bottom is really hot, as opposed to a gas stove


When I was 16 I got a job waiting tables at the local Chinese restaurant that was run by a Thai family and the backup cook lived in house and after I left it got shut down for "food safety violations" that I totally knew about so I got :yikes: for days


Evidently keeping beer in the ice maker used for drinks is a food safety violation.

Your kitchen is too small for these things?



No argument with combining ingredients going in at the same time during prep, but it's worth the effort.
