Great topic, I love reading the other responses too
The Mia Cucina brand sauces are the only jarred tomato sauce allowed in our home. The one with wine mixed in is my preference, but I haven’t had one I disliked yet.
I’m a fan of the Steve’s and Ed’s brand Buffalo sauce, though I’m not sure how it does poured over carbs.
I like to stir fry noodles and dress them with hot pot seasoning and eel sauce, but maybe that’s some stoner food shit.
Do you use them when you don’t have time to cook or don’t want to? Do you use them to avoid gaining weight? What is your opinion about their potential health implications?
The Germans? Jealous isn’t the right word, but I do enjoy it. I like the joke about the vampire on the Tandem bike.
The English? Ahahaha hell no, but the pathetic englishman is a funny character for sure. The English lost their knack for comedy some decades ago and many of the modern ones are kinda just relying on shock humor that isn’t really funny and kinda just makes em seem like bigoted geriatrics yearning for glory days when they were relevant.
Because a lot of German humor is pun based and when the translated into English, the joke doesn’t land and so the English started this farce that the Germans ain’t funny
Germans are plenty funny, the English are the problem
Go to bed at the same time every night and create bedtime rituals to tell your body that it’s time to sleep. These can be elaborate as a certain tea and a favorite comfy chair, or simple as washing your face and brushing your teeth, just perform them consistently before getting in bed for about two weeks and your sleep patterns should improve.
Not an egg mcmuffin at all, but for meal prepped breakfasts, I usually make a bunch of steamed buns or dumplings and have them with soup and rice, all 3 quick and easy to heat up in the morning and can be prepped ahead of time.
Though I admit it might not be as quick as an egg sandwich to eat. These days I’ve been having muesli and cottage cheese. Again, maybe slower to eat, but the prep time is about as long as it takes to take a half cup scoop of two things 😁
I picked up a bunch of unflavored instant ramen packets with the intention of making my own. I’m a big fan of Korean Ramyun packs and make them often, but they are getting pricy nowadays. Does anyone else in c/cooking do this as well? What are your favorite quick broth recipes?
Happily! Just make sure to remove the guts of the anchovies before using them for stock. It’s easily done with a knife or even your fingers. Honestly, I’m not sure why you have to do that, I was just always instructed to do it that way.
I buy chicken/beef bouillon powder and use that with dry noodles. You can make a mushroom broth by steeping dried mushrooms in hot water for 15-30 minutes, too.
Someone else mentioned daishi, that’s a great soup base as well. If you wanna spend a little more time on it, you can boil kombu and dried anchovies placed in a tea bag in a pot of water to make a larger batch of broth.
Can you tell me more about growing onions from the bulbs? I usually cut mine fairly close to the root growth at the bottom, maybe leaving 1 cm of onion white, and throw it in the freezer with other veggie scraps to later boil and clarify for broth, but I am CONSTANTLY buying green onions for soups, dumplings, stirfries, grilling, what-have-you, so I’m very interested in this idea. I live in apartment with a bay window which is ripe for a planter, so this sounds potentially very useful.
Hey everyone! Looking for any interior decorator aficionados out there. For as long as I can remember I’ve never been able to decorate spaces where I live and would love some advice!...
I feel hanging shelves and putting tchotchkes on em really add a lot of personal touches. I went with some geometric shaped shelves that I placed in a pattern on the wall and put some object de arte on em and that did a lot of good for making it feel more homey. I’m embellishing a bit on “object de arte”, I got a go set, a red wax elephant, a Star Trek ship and a small plant on there, just some stuff that relates to my interests and a few splashes of color.
If you’re nervous about putting holes in the wall, some wire frame shelving units can work, too, and you can get them in all sorts of shapes and sizes these days. If you search using the keywords “geometric” or “asymmetrical”, you can easily find some designs that help break up the flat lines of a book case style shelf that I feel adds a dynamic feel to the decoration.
Lastly, if you can splurge for it, there’s always the classic paintings. Find an artist you like and go for a print or two. I went with stuff by Kandinsky, but I really like that sort of abstract, dynamic piece, to my boyfriend’s chagrin, so maybe talk about it with the people you live with first more than I did (he’s come to tolerate it plenty fine though and we get compliments all the time so haha I win).
Which episode is this, again? I’ve been showing my Trek adverse boyfriend some of the more fun episodes of DS9 after he sat down to view the baseball ep with me and I wanna show him this one! (Other suggestions gladly welcomed)
