I could only finish 1/3. So much meat, rice, veggies and bread.

The veg was fresh, and the pickles were good. Sauce was spicy.

22 Aud for a giant plate.

I thoroughly enjoy Turkish foods, but not Muzzies.

The End.

Hello sirs.

The food eaten in the southern part of India has quite a few differences when it comes to ingredients, herbs and spice blends when compared to north India. A few days ago I made sambar, which is a spiced lentil soup with lots of colorful vegetables and a tamarind broth. The spices and herbs used are red chillies, fenugreek seeds, coriander, cumin, black pepper, black mustard seeds, turmeric powder and most importantly, curry leaves! It's a very flavorful and slightly tart because of the tamarind, with a nice light broth. It's probably one of my favorite Indian dishes. Paired with the sambar is Chettinad pepper chicken, a spicy semi-dry to dry curry with lots of black pepper and some aged basmati rice, which is very aromatic and delicious. The brand that I used for Laila, in the green package.

The curry leaves that I used were nice, but the taste wasn't as pronounced as I expected. I think that the fresh leaves are the best, but you can use frozen leaves as I did because I'm a cheapskate. Dried leaves are really weak, fyi.

For the best taste I'd recommend making your own masala/spice blends with freshly toasted spices, so much more flavorful than ground spices bought in stores. Doing this however requires you having quite a few whole spices already and having either a mortar and pestle, an Indian wet blender or a coffee grinder. If you're not in the mood to undertake such a project then you can just buy the masala powders at your local Indian or Asian store. Brands like MDH, Everest and MTR are good.

If you like Thai curries and soups then you'll probably love South Indian food. Give it a try!

Yes I know I need to buy wine glasses, it's on my to-do list :(

The fried rice is homemade, the chicken katsu was bought from a Japanese market. Bae really outdid herself

More PTA shit

this smells so good

do NOT say it looks like poop

1.5 lb each, USDA prime. Too lazy to rotate the pic. Served with potatoes au gratin and salad. Yes I wiped the counter after. I misjudged how large the steaks were and used too small of a board, for reference its like 15”x11”.

I just ran into these today. My mom always insisted i do not get them, even though by the time i raised my courage to ask for some, i have already eaten moist dog food, thinking maybe i just didnt try the right one. Because it was heckin nasty

I saw a sale on turkeys for $0.29 cents a pound (God bless America!), but I'm only cooking for one and I've never prepared a whole bird before, not even chicken. It's real tempting to buy one but how can I make this work? Usually if I buy a pack of drumsticks or something I put them in individual containers for the freezer and prepare one each day. Is reasonable to cut up a turkey that way? If I roast the whole bird, how can I divide it and store/reheat the cooked meat without ruining it?

I heard somewhere that a man in his 30s will either become obsessed with fixing shit in his house or smoking meats. Smoking meats sounded like it aligned with my interests

As luck would have it I found a reasonably sized brisket for a decent price. Gave it the ol' rub n' tug with spices and then got the grill ready. I have a nice Weber kettle grill and decided to use mesquite wood chips which I soaked and spread over the hot coals. Slapped my meat on the grill and spent the next 5 hours or so letting it do its thing at 250 degrees, wrapping it the last hour.

I think it turned out really good for my first go. Brisket was mayyyyybe a touch dry, but not too bad and really tasty. With winter coming around I think I found myself a good reason to stay outside and drink on those nice warmer days.

While camping out last night I snared a male possum while aiming for coon. Figured there’s a first time for everything so I , butchered, cleaned and made a roast of it and rendered the fat for later. It was p good but gamey of course. Possum meat is fairly soft and the texture is fairly similar to summer coon.

Snare it with a foot trap. Say a prayer to St. Hubert then take it out humanely with .22 (9mm nakes too much of a mess with game yhis small). Check for ticks, rabies or infestation. If you have time submerge in water for a while to soften the flesh bc the fur will come off easy.

Clean and quarter and put it in a Dutch oven camp pot with with a paste covering it of salt, pepper, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and light molasses

Roast about 3 hours on your campfire. Baste frequently and make some biscuits or potato along with it. Save the brown rendered fat for rind

OP posts this

(in my opinion, abomination) of a french onion soup.

If you want to eat a raw/boiled onion soup, have at it

French onion soup is made with caramelized onions

It's a pretty simple dish, with very few ingredients, very few steps

(+34)

You can't see the onions you don't know if they're caramelized or not. You've invented this whole scenario in your head

(-33)

The onions on top are not caramelized lol

The onions everyone is mentioning

The 2 onions on top

Do you see them

(+27)

The one that's very clearly a garnish?

(-14)

Yes. Which isn't caramelized.

French onion soup = caramelized onions

(+30)

But those aren't in the soup

Soup ≠ garnish

(-6)

h, its just trash on top of the soup? Lol

I like garnishes that you can eat, that compliment the dish

Maybe try garnishing the soup with a copy of Pokemon Red

(25)

You're not a well liked person, are you?
