Last year my 'mulled wine spice'-themed Thanksgiving dinner line-up turned out really well so I'm going to repeat it, but I have more people flying in than last year so need to make a turkey in addition to duck, and I forgot the stuffing recipe I followed so any suggestions would be helpful. Any feedback in general would be nice tbh.

Roast Turkey

• Dry brined and roasted the day before. If anyone has a good roast turkey/turkey dry brine recipe please share.

Roasted duck

• Roasted following this recipe but dry brined for 24 hrs with salt, brown sugar, orange peels, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, and ginger slices

Stuffing

• Probably a sausage and rustic bread or baguette one. It's hard to go wrong with stuffing but if anyone has a good recipe please share.

Braised red cabbage

• Braised on the stovetop for over an hour with star anise, maybe a slice of ginger, cloves, juniper berries, and whatever I adjust it with.

Honeynut squash puree

• I used sweet potatoes last year, but I'm going to probably use some honeynut squash I grew in containers this year. Or maybe just stick with sweet potatoes and use the honeynut squash for something else.

Braised kale or arugula salad

• Gotta add a green to feel like you're less of a fatass. I'll probably make something easy (the arugula salad last year worked well with everything else) but I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them. As long as the suggestions don't involve green beans.

Gravy, redcurrent jelly sauce, cranberry sauce

• Gravy made with turkey drippings from the day before, redcurrant jelly sauce made by mixing redcurrant jelly and white wine, cranberry sauce from a jar

Some sort of grocery store dessert

• Maybe I'll be able to find some pumpkin pie

Thoughts? Does anyone have a line-up they're proud of?

So one of the major negatives of Singapore is our fricking weather, where a thunderstorm could erupt suddenly on a scorching hot day. That coupled with how everywhere's air-conditioned because frick the heat means that we alternate between hot and cold temperatures the whole day... and I guess I finally succumbed and got the sniffles or covid or something, which was coincidentally after a trip to our fake snow city. Speaking of the fake snow area, how the frick are people able to wear masks outdoors in the cold? It was such a horrible experience, and I can't believe people are actually advocating for it.

Much like in the West, a chicken soup is our go to for comfort food for when we're feeling under the weather, so maybe we're not that different after all. Then again I remember how cordyceps are literally a parasitic fungus that grows on caterpillars as I slurp them down, I guess we might be that different after all... Hmmm yummy

Close enough to the picture I guess...

So dramautists, what's your favourite comfort food? Any unique ones in your culture that people should know about or try?

They weren't even warm, the heat lamp was broken. Good spices though and appeared hand made. 6/10

Hello !boozers

Here's a very basic old fashioned recipe. If your reaction is "this is literally a basic old fashion" - you are correct.

During my experimentation these are the core ingredients and steps required to make a good Old Fashioned.

By following these steps to a T I believe you will end up with a better old fashion than most bars.

Ingredients

1.) Whiskey Glass - Having a basic "rocks" glass is a decent idea, it's more trendy to have "tulip" style but a "rocks" glass is the traditional choice.

2.) Ice Mold - I have found ice molds are totally worth it. The interplay of the ice and spirit is key in an Old Fashion and the molds let the ice melt at a slower, more consistent rate.

3.) Metal Toothpick - Very nice to work with vs wood or whatever. Cleans easy, cheap and looks way better.

4.) Measuring Device - I am personally using a small jigger, knowing how much your measuring device holds is essential.

5.) Peeler / Good knife skills - We'll use this to get the top of the rind of the orange.

6.) Fresh Orange - We will be using the oils in the skin.

7.) Bitters - A bottle of proper Angostura Bitters will last you forever, this is what we'll be using in this recipe.

8.) Luxardo Cherries - These SoBs are expensive but 100% worth it. You should need to use one or two per drink so they do last.

9.) Simple Syrup - Simple Syrup is literally sugar water. Very old recipes would call for sugar cubes and grinding them into the drink but this is silly. You can make this yourself buy boiling 1 part water and then adding 1 part sugar (i.e. 1 cup sugar to 1 cup boiling water). Put it in a recycled bottle and top with vodka to store for months.

10.) Spirit - I will be using Bourbon Whiskey but you can be pretty creative with this. I basically recommend any aged base spirit (Whiskey, Bourbon, Rye Whiskey, Scotch Whisky, Brandy, Aged Rum, Cognac, etc). The sweetness of your spirit is what you'll use to gauge the syrup amount.

Steps

1.) Add ice to your glass.

2.) Measure 90ml of your spirit. A usual pour is 60ml but rocks drinks are conventionally 1.5x.

3.) Add a splash of simple syrup. this ranges from 10ml-20ml, depending on your spirits sweetness. I usually do 15ml on unfamiliar bottles and then adjust from there.

4.) Add three dashes of bitters. Stir.

5.) Stab your cherry and fight with it until you make it in the glass

6.) Cut off a very thin slice of only the top of the orange rind. That's where all the orange oil is.

7.) Fold the rind just-so above your drink so, if you look closely you'll see the oil spray across the glass. I can get a solid two spritzes out of a cut. Drop it into the drink after.

8.) Enjoy!

So I have a bunch of fresh okra/ladyfingers my dad planted and Im bored of cooking them the way so I googled a bit for other methods and it seems like theres probably like only frying it

my heart is telling me Seems interesting enough and Im open to trying it but Ive never heard of okra being fried like this so I have to wonder if its worth it??? Should I fry them whole or cut them totally into smaller pieces???

Also I have a feeling I cant find corn meal here so what would be a good substitute??? Ive seen this kentucky seasoned flour in the supermarkets so Im wondering if its really a thing in burgerland and if its a good substitute for corn meal???

literally, 谢谢

i used an entire onion this time and some apple cider vinegar since it didn't have enough acid last time. MUCH better now

i also let it marinate for over an hour

In Canada it's pretty common to put syrup on pork (ground pork, sausages, whatever)

But do u non-leafs do it?

!leafs do u add it when u make pork?

I’ve been cooking for myself since I was 5 years old, which means my relationship with food is based on a 5 year-old’s heuristic understanding of a balanced diet. Could I have tried to learn some actual dietary fundamentals in the past 25 years? Sure, but my understanding of healthy is “am I still frickable” and that’s been affirmed (sometimes unfortunately) over the timespan.

Well now I’m 30, and the cycle of going 20 pounds over and then crash-dieting back to normal has gotten harder. My usual go-tos of cereal, sandwiches and rice-heavy stir fry has been making it really hard to keep pounds off as I work out less.

So a friend I was trying to have s*x with recommended keto and showed me recipes she’s been trying out, and so I gave it a shot.

Night and goddarn day. It’s only been a few weeks and I’ve had to cut coffee for black tea since I have too much energy now. I don’t feel like a bloated sack of shit if I don’t make dinner before 5pm anymore. And the best part is I haven’t bothered calorie counting. I’ve had MyFitnessPal, a food scale, heavily-invested into CICO through my 20s, where I’d go from 2500 calories a day to 1400 for a few weeks to carve off pounds. And it works, but going to bed hungry sucks. And when I finally am getting laid, why bother continuing to do it?

I’ve not counted once with Keto and I just feel good all the time. Probably shaving off 2-3 pounds a week, including this last week where I’ve been on bedrest with a back injury.

Anyway, tell me about your experiences with the diet too. Getting a lot of value out of my $70 air fryer.
