I want espresso at home but I don't want to faff around everytime I want a cup. Do Nespressos make decent espresso? Is the little, cheaper one any good? Should I get the built in milk steamer or a separate one?

Made this for lunch just now. I've tried getting the beef right for these darn things a bunch of different ways. Internet people have all sorts of ways they've tried to get it just like the restaurants, but the only one I've seen that looked like it would realistically work was this massive bearded greek dude shoving like 5 pounds of lamb shoulder onto two spits and throwing it on a charcoal grill. I'm just trying to make lunch here, though. I've tried to make a mini spit using the rotisserie attachment in my toaster oven, and that looked and smelled great, but the meat completely dried out and was nasty inside.

Other internet ideas were like to use ground meat and form a really tight meatloaf and bake it in the oven, then you can cut thin slices off it that look a lot like the gyro places, but it's lacking the super brown crispy outside you want.

This time I bought some really thin ribeye steaks (like less than 1/2") that people usually use to make carne asada. I figured with how thin they were I'd want the pan to be really fricking hot, so I did a test run with one of them with the heat cranked all the way up on my stove and a cast iron skillet. Darn near lit my kitchen on fire, like the oil in the pan actually just made a poof noise and burst into flames. The steak didn't get burned though, even with me moving it around in the pan to smother the fire. The steak was a perfect medium rare cooking it just one minute a side. Problem, though: medium rare steak is too chewy for sandwich or sandwich-adjacent preparations.

Finally, I marinated the rest of the steaks and cooked them with slightly less heat (although still enough that the pan was smoking up my kitchen) for 2 minutes a side. They're pretty well done, but perfect for a gyro because you can bite through the pieces so easily. Then I put this together and smashed the whole thing into my face. The end.

Ever wanted to eat bread but HATE evil, unhealthy carbs?? Fear not, by combining pork rinds, a dozen eggs and cottage cheese you can make a kind of healthy, delicious bread adjacent loaf

I need ideas / recipes for easy to make kazakhstan food.

I have to make a bunch of Kazakhi food for reasons so I need easy recipes without much substitution. Like substituting cow for lamb is acceptable.

Currently I'm thinking of making Boortsog and Samsa.

I was thinking of maybe Shashlik since it's basically a kebab and easy

A lot of fast food slop gets me pooping a couple hours later.

Plus how do you finish a plate/meal packed with so many carbs?

I end up feeling sick during the meal as well.

Are burgers just built different that you have iron slop stomachs?

Teach me your fat ways.

RECIPIE:

USE AN AIR FRYER FOR THE ROOT VEG

I chop potatoes and butternut squash into cubes and season with salt, pepper, curry powder, turmeric, paprika and olive oil.

Toss and lay into an air fryer on oiled tin foil for 25 mins at 180 Celsius.

Pre-heat wok with neutral oil.

Add diced onions and cabbage and cook until soft. Season with salt and add diced garlic.

Add tomato paste and fry until fragrant.

Add roasted veg and hot water to wok and make a sauce.

Add vinegar for acidity to cut thru veg.

Add to a bowl of rice and spinach as garnish drizzled with lime juice.

Enjoy! !besties

no wonder the moms so fat.. undercooked chicken mayo slop with burned cheese. disgraceful!

They're the first green food available locally. Steam them and add some vinegar and butter, or just grill 'em. These ones are still raw.

Just don't eat the wrong type of fern, or too many, or eat them when they're too old, or too often, or they'll be toxic....
