>>11409523
Did you use a particular recipe? I've been thinking about making flan for a while now. Picked up a taste for them when I used to live in France.

>>11409532

I also made some skillet cornbread which im trying to step up my game on, used bacon grease and subbed some brown sugar and maple syrup for some of the white sugar in the recipe, was a big hit desu

I love you OP. Never stop posting.

It's no fast food thread but I guess it's alright

>>11409552
My mom makes this once in a while. Absolutely delicious

I miss you Patti, stay fat little cat

STOP SAYING THIS PATTY IS RARE WHEN SHE IS JUST LAYING THERE DOING NOTHING RARE PATTY NEEDS TO BE DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT LIKE WEARING HALLOWEEN MASK OR DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL TO BE CALLED "RARE" REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>11409530

I HAVE SEEN THIS REEEEEEEEEEE

Bamping for cooking thread anon, Batti & all Super Spoopy Anons on Halloween!

>>11410110
Oh shit

Bumping since I might be doing either "pierogies" or gyoza later on today. What filling should I do if I do "pierogies?" I'm using Chef Johns recipe and that one uses potatoes and cheese.

>>11410085
You don't get to set the definition for what is or is not a rare Patti.
I own the largest collection of Pattis on this website. I have rare Pattis the likes of which you have never seen and will never see.
Rare Pattis do not follow a script or a checklist. Rare Pattis just have that star quality. I wouldn't expect a plebeian to understand.

>>11410453
>>11410085
>bean Patti pic
btw it is not a rare Patti. It is a pretty common Patti, but it's more than you deserve, peasant.

>>11409406

Made chicken yesterday, but there was no cat thread for me to post it it.
Didn't seem worth a thread of it's own.

>>11410464
I was so busy doing sexy poses with it I almost burnt it. It's fine in the end, though.

>>11410469
Simmered like that for maybe 2½ hours.
Transferred to a tray and put in the oven at very low temp. I needed the pot and the drippings for gravy.

>>11410476
Leeks were on sale. Three nice thick ones for about a dollar.
So I had that with some carrots and potatoes. Reserved a little of the water for the gravy too.
You can cook them like this and not get mushy leeks since they're above the waterlevel.

>>11409406
You get that raft finished yet op

>>11410464
It wasn't

>>11410453
this guy pattis

>>11410480
Gravy time

>>11410514
Homemade pickled beets. It's delicious, but it's kinda hard for it to not be with a nice gravy.

>>11410453
You start over using an adjective that doesn't match what it is supposed to mean then it lost its meaning dumbass.

Please go visit the nearest museum.

>>11410458
FAKE PATTI GET OUT

>>11410504
Damn straight I Patti.

>>11410525
I agree, but you clearly can't recognize a rare Patti when you see one. Leave the designation to the experts. I have a good grip on the Patti economy and I plan to keep it stable.

>>11410545
I just like posting my Lucy. I can stop if you want.

>>11410514
what is your opinion on mccormick gravies

>>11410455
>>11410453
>Says you have the largest amount of rare Patti
>Post common bean Patti along with wall text implying you have the rarest Patti
>N-no wait that wasnt rare. It's c-common Patti
Look up definition of the word "rare". You don't go around claiming that a word has a specific meaning because you says so.

>>11410552
Aww is she ex-feral? Notice the clipped ear (that's a thing in the UK).

>>11410552
Juicy Lucy a fakey Fatty Patti, post some more, does Lucy likes to cook with you?

>>11410566
I don't know what that is. I assume it's powdered stuff you just have to mix with milk and maybe some butter?
I sometimes get the Knorr Bearnaise because making your own from scratch is a hassle, but that's sauce. Gravy is pretty much just about thickening and salting liquid you already have.

>>11410573
Yes she's a former las vegas stray.

>>11410577
She loves jumping on the counter when I'm in the kitchen.

>>11410569
What part of
>It is a pretty common Patti, but it's more than you deserve, peasant
do you not understand?
You don't deserve my rare Pattis and you won't get them. I have to keep them safe to maintain the Patti economy. No shit I'm not gonna post my rares for no reason, and you're not gonna make me, either.

This is a nice Patti impurrsonator.

>>11410729

Overnight worker here, which means time for breakfast. Keeping it simple, starting off with "homemade" sourdough honey wheat bread and bacon.

>>11410886

Shrooms.

>>11410916

Bacon fat drained, added butter, shrooms, spinach.

I found a dough ball in my fridge and have everything but pizza sauce. Tonight I'll document my calzone dinner

>>11410924

Mayo, bacon

>>11410950

Spinach, shrooms.

>>11410968

Eggies.

>>11410977

Salt, pepper, sharp white cheddar.

>>11410950
COOK YOUR BACON, MORON!

>>11410729
Patti is cute, we all love her here and we save her pictures. I don't care if you don't want to share, it's not like op aren't sharing them

But if you are feeling superior because you saved more cat photos online and acting like a lord because of it, I suggest you find a nother goal in life

>>11410991

>just slightly crispy

I see no problem.

>>11411006
theres nothing crispy about that bacon i promise you .

>>11411004
I know I am superior, and don't need rare Pattis to prove it - but they help.
I suggest you find another forum to post on, sensitive shitforbrains.

>>11411073

Very edges were crispy, the rest was tender. Again, I don't see an issue with this.

>>11411074
Nah I'm over it, more like you still butt mad because I was spot on, stay sensitive and dont forget to log on 4chan everyday to collect cat photos

Thank you OP, I will add it to my other bushPattis.

>>11411143
Wow you sure got me good didn't you :)

>>11411169

>>11411406
This doesn't look like Lucy nor Patti

got some meat pulled

This used to be the one thread on the board that was reably about actual cooking and now it's almost entirely about catfagging and bitching about OP.
Enjoy your secondary /an/ board, coclsuckers. What a fucking shame.

go time

I need a bigger pot this is pushing it lol

>>11411583
Huh?

stewed it low and slow, then blendy stick time

https://youtu.be/n2I7JchMIVI

>>11409559
I have used honey instead of sugar. It’s great. Try it with buttermilk too

>tfw literally no store in my area has potsticker/gyoza wrappers
Fuck this shitty town. I'm not driving an hour just to buy these. Looks like I'm gonna learn how to make gyoza wrappers. Wish me luck anons. When I finally get around to doing it I'll post the pics and results here.

>>11410480
How do you clean the silt inside of the leeks if you leave them whole?

>>11410552

>>11411643
Do u meal prep op??? You always make a lot I'm sure ur fridge is full of leftovers.

silky smooth

>>11412603
I wouldnt really call it meal prep but i am in the process of stock piling meals thet freeze well so I can have an extra comfy winter season, am interested in any suggestions people have for crockpot type stuff

this was a really good batch, the naan are some dank frozen garlic naan i can only find at a halal market

>>11412502
nice

>>11412502
How old is Lucy?

>>11412502
That’s not Lucy
That’s a lil blind old lady named Smokey

>>11412497
If you cut off enough of the leek and peel off the outermost layer there is no soil in it.
And no, I'm not wasting a crapload of leek doing that. I obviously just split open and clean the part I cut off and use it for something else.
Specifically, it's going into a quick and dirty stew today with the leftovers from two days of eating that chicken. And don't you fucking dare not add the gravy into that as well.

>>11414229
You can just use the peeled outer layers after washing them.

>>11414327
I find the outermost layer to be kinda stringy but I do usually clean it and throw it in the scraps box in the freezer. For stock.

>>11414348
They are great for bouquet garni wrapping.

>>11414362
Yeah, I could see that. I'll give it a try next time.
Should be chickensoup weather soon.

>>11411493
It's lucy.

Man i wish i could eat shrooms again, they make my VJJ explode from yeast and i get the shitsies

It's a cooking board, duuuuuh

Are you the girl who put warheads in your purse ?

alright all the shilling got to me went to TB in the first time in 10 years, will follow up shortly

>>11415743
I worked at TB for 5 years. It's a shit place anon. You wasted your money.

>>11416263
Yeah, I hate to be too negative but that is one of the grossest things I've ever tried to eat and it fell apart and made a big mess, the cinnamon toast crunch sticks were decent but overall I feel bamboozled, I better win this xbox

>>11415480
It's an observation, duuuuuh

Disregard that please, I suck massive cocks

you want activist Giblet in your shill thread? cuz thats a good way to get activist Giblet in your shill thread m8

>>11417079
Finally a decent pic of Gilbert, you have cute hand writing too OP

I'm starting to suspect the OP we love so much is actually a sweet chubby girl who loves to drink

>>11409406
Proceed.

>>11417290
That explains the cats. But not the furry man hands (don't have it saved)

>>11409406
cute kot
how old is she?

Since our kot became big enough to jump on the counters I've been increasingly paranoid about using the stove (flat electric type) because he will try to scramble up there when the element is cooling. Any tips on how to deter him long term?

>>11417770
As deterrent -
cats don't like strong fruit smells or spices, especially citrus oil. Put some orange peel or zest near the stove, maybe throw in some cloves, and he won't want to go near it. A whole orange from the grocery store won't work because they're waxed on the outside.
As consequence -
Put a bunch of sticky paper on your (cooled) stove, sticky side up. You can use sheets from a lint roller. When he jumps up on the stove, they'll stick to his feet and freak him out and he won't want to get up there anymore.

I love OP, but you should not allow your cat to get on the counter ever. Patti is different because she is the money maker round OP's parts, but it's rarely going to end well for the cats or for your stuff.

>>11417770
What's his name sir ?

>>11417770
Is he a ragdoll? My sister had a ragdoll who was absolutely retarded, but in a kinda cute way.
Anon here >>11417785 knows what he's talking about. Also get a spray bottle and squirt him if he goes up there.

>>11417787
His name is artie

>>11417802
He is a 6 month old balinese. We do have a squirt bottle but we have actually spray him like 4 or 5 times and he just sits there. I'll try the lint rolled paper idea next. Thanks /ck/ I've been cooking less lately because I get worried about him being stupid. He walked across the cooling stove once and freaked us out

Do you go get the cat and put it on the counter everytime you're about to cook or does it just stay there all day everyday?

>>11417895
>We do have a squirt bottle but we have actually spray him like 4 or 5 times and he just sits there.
If he doesn't care about getting a bit wet make sure the water is almost freezing cold.

>>11411004
But you would say that about literally anything he would lord over.

>>11417895
Put tin foil on the stovetop the crinkle always freaks them out

>>11417948
Ok I just tried this and now he's amusing himself with the crinkle. Is my cat autistic

>>11418177
All cats are. It just manifests in different ways in different cats.

>>11417948
>>11418177
>crinkle
I hate what the Internet has done to me.

>>11409406
OP your threads are the last bastion of actual cooking on /ck/. I tried making one this week and participating in another but they both died within a day. This board sucks. Normally would be against the catposting (even though I like them) but if it's part of why the threads stay up then so be it.

Might post some stuff later.

>>11418483
You can always make your own thread with some unique twist too. As long as you are consistent and your stuff is sincere you will slowly gather loyal audiences. OP gets alot of random hate early on too, that's just how this site is. Good luck

>>11418735
He shouldn't need a fucking gimmick.
This is the food and cooking board, and making a thread about your cooking should be good enough.
You're defending the shittiness of the board by telling this guy he need a "unique twist"

>>11418801
Why is finding a unique twist = negative things? Op always has a cat and post some music along. That's enough to differentiate him from others and we recognize him this way

Start accepting different things

>>11418837
It's not really about differentiating or anything, there's just very actual cooking going on on the board. It's kind of sad, if you look at the catalog, it's gonna be mostly fast food, shitposting, bait or arguing about random shit.

There's also no point making another cooking thread if it's just going to split the few cooks we have in multiple threads.

My chicken breast thread devolved into an amerilard/europoor shitfest and these threads seem intelligent so I'll ask here
How do I cook chicken breast to perfection?
Also what herbs do I add and when?
Are the herbs supposed to burn? It always happens when I make skillet potatoes

why do you cu/ck/s get such a boner over the most basic bitch faggot tier pet?

>>11419170
Yes, herbs burn. After grilling with the herbs, wipe the burned herbs from the meat if you don't like them. Professional kitchens do this.
You add whatever herbs you like. Popular poultry herbs include savory, rosemary, or tarragon. It depends what your recipe is as to what you use.
Buy a thermometer to temp the chicken. That way you know when it's done, instead of guessing and risking over- or under-cooking.

Also, your thread devolved because you can't cook and you blamed everyone else for it and resisted advice.

>>11419170
Herbs will obviously burn if they're exposed to high heat for too long much like a NEET left on the beach, but dried herbs are more susceptible than fresh ones. Either add them later, wipe them off or reduce the heat. Other options:
>Infuse some olive oil with rosemary or whatever else you wanted and then use that instead, but be aware that if you don't use it then it'll go rancid eventually.
>Roulade or general stuffing. In the case of chicken, butterfly the breast, pound it to a somewhat even thickness and add the herbs to your filling so they never have the chance to burn, plenty of ideas for said filling can be found on jewgle.
I use a thermometer to get my chicken up to 65c before removing it from the heat source, it gives it room to cook a little more as it rests without being unsafe or dry as the Sahara.

Haven't posted in a while and didn't take any pictures as I was cooking. Simple dinner tonight.

Pot roast - chuck roast, 2 lb. or so. I patted it dry, rubbed some flour on it, seared it all around in some vegetable oil, then threw it in the crock pot. Put some salt, pepper, Cavendar's, garlic. Left it on low for 8 hours.

Cheese spätzle - Aldi had some dried spätzle. I made a basic cheese sauce with a roux (1/4 C each butter and flour), 2 C milk, and about half a pound of sharp cheddar I shredded. Seasoned it and mixed with the boiled spätzle.

Brocolli - another Aldi find. Steam-in-bag, I buy them for ninety cents and fill the freezer.

Turned out pretty good. My woman liked it and that's my only goal when I cook. Been rougher times lately and haven't posted much. Lots of good stuff ITT. Hope you all are well. Glad OP is still making this thread.

Chicken breast is dry bullshit. Either cook it in a sauce like tikki masala or pound it thin and bread and fry it

>tfw totally forgot to take pics of cooking or finished product and now have only leftovers which won't look good so can't contribute to thread
It hurts being so brainlet.

Trying to make a steak with some chips on the side today.
It's going to be a hassle because of kitchen-related restrictions.

>>11422842
I usually presalt the fatty parts when I take the meat out of the fridge. I assume it draws out some water and makes the fat crispier.

Boiled the fuck out of some potatoes. I think they might have been the wrong kind for chipmaking. Ah well.

>>11422846
Frying in oil. I haven't done much of this since I generally try to avoid the calories but I'm slowly learning.
Apparently you can "double fry" them? Maybe I'll do that.

>>11422856
See the shit I have to work with? Can't make the steak or the sauce as the same time as I do the frying. It's not even becaue I can't afford a better place; there aren't any in this college town.

>>11412714

O I C, personally I will freeze things like stews, curries, jambalayas. Things made with in season veggies. You can make chili/lasagna any time of the year so why save it

>>11422856
yeah, chill them down to room temp or lower before the second or third fry
gives a crispier edge

>>11422857
half-potting

>>11422929
I took them out while I fried the steak but I doubt they got as cold as that before I put them back in.
Still pretty good and crispy.

>>11422975
Came out alright. I'm used to cooking thicker steaks but I just can't eat a whole one of those anymore.

>>11422980
looks p good my dude

>>11422968
who here /halfpot/?

>>11423079
Thanks. It's pinker than it looks actually. I can't get the lighting right.
I wonder if my SAD lamp could work as a softbox.
It was certainly delicious and tender. I was a little worried since I don't think I ever bothered cooking such a thin one but it was alright in the end. Could barely finish it anyhow.

>>11422857
Chop you still a student ?

>>11423905
Nah, but it's a student town so most of the flats cater to that clientele. It's not so bad once you're used to it anyway. I just like complaining.

>>11417770
Cover it in crunchy tin foil when you aren't using it. Cats hate landing on that shit for some reason, maybe because it's noisey. That worked for me.

>>11409406
enjoy your toxoplasmosis faggot

separated some wings and bagged them up to freeze, will fry some up as a pre dinner snack soon

>>11425596
How are you frying them up? What temp and oil?

>>11409406
god that cat looks so smug all the time

tfw made eggs for dinner because my family didn't invite me up to dinner
tfw they ate the brownies I made yesterday for dessert
tfw only thing my mother said before she left was "the brownies were a hit anon"

>>11425682
she is I promise

>>11425831
sakura is so fucking hot

>>11425675
it really depends how lazy I am and other laziness related factors, this time I will double fry them, first at 350ish for like 4 minutes, put them in the fridge for like 30 minutes, then fry them at like 370 until I'm satisfied with the color, about 10 minutes, I have to really work my shitty electric stove to maintain proper temp so consider that

these turned out better than expected I will celebrate with a nap

carrots because I'm a vegan now

What is its size? Seems tiny or the damn bird is huge

>>11428381
Our chickens are smaller than the Yank ones if that's what you mean. That one was probably at most three pounds.
The pot is just under 13 inches across the brim.

gonna make a chicken dinner i am undecided on the sides ive got very limited resources this week

that was a duck egg btw thats all i got lol, gonna let this marinate like a hour

taking my sweet ass time pls i am not in a hurry

https://youtu.be/qNuhDoQkP7M

Skipped a lot of shit cuz I was busy, made loaded mash, ghetto street corn and cheddar Bay biscuits, was not bad

whats the deal with all the food pictures in this patti thread

>>11429338
>Makes 3 sides
>Limited resources

OP there is nothing ghetto about you. You are just another entitled Amerifag that lives in a nice home, eats three bomb meals a day and drives an expensive vehicle.
I live in an 100 year old house with broken heating system, I eat one decent meal a day + snacks like an apple or piece of bread, also I ride the bus that I can't pay for. No car, no bike, nothing. I can't afford cat food, so i don't have a cat. You are beyond lucky and blessed, I hope you realize that.

>>11430993
just because I utilize the resources i have does not make them any less limited

>>11431015
i live in a hood apt complex in an area nicknamed gunspoint, i do not own a car, 10 years ago I was homeless, cast your judgment on someone who gives a shit about you ill-informed opinions

>>11431015
>uses /ck/'s prejudice against USA meme
Yeah, 340million people all live exactly the same way.
So, are you eating frogs or molesting goats?

>>11431079
Hey OP what is some advice you can give to someone who is going to be homeless in a while?

>>11431079
Please dont become alcoholic, I don't want OP and Patti became homeless again

hooo lawdy dem cheddar bays

Very simple dinner today. Waiting for a duck to thaw in the fridge.
This is called "skidne æg" which translates to "dirty eggs" or "shitty eggs".
Potatoes, eggs, basic white sauce, mustard paste (that's the "shit" part)
I used pickled eggs, which isn't traditional.

>>11432103
I bet that's amazing for a hangover.

>>11432103
I do love a softboiled pickled egg but it's difficult to get them right. You don't want them to rupture in the jar.

>>11432103
That actually looks really comfy, reminds me of some shit my ma used to make. You got a recipe for that?

>>11430910
this. WE NEED MOAR PATTI PICS

>>11432103
>>11432137
Thanks they look max comfy. Could you share your recipe please ? Or this is pretty much how you do it

>>11432370
>>11430910

Do you think OP will ignore our request ?

>>11432365
>>11432443
The way I'm used to making it it's literally just boiled eggs and potatoes with a basic bechamel sauce.
Coarse ground mustard mixed with cold water and and left in the fridge for at least an hour.
I guess the way she's making it is pretty authentic too, though.

>>11432103
Some asparagus would go great with that sauce, too

>>11432446
almost certainly

>>11432615
So you eat the whole thing cold? I was picturing warm.

>>11433166
No, not cold. I don't know what gave you that idea.
I mean, the pickled eggs were cold but I heated them in the sauce.

>>11433354
Because you said you put the sauce in the fridge?

>>11409552

>>11433410
Ahh I see. That's just the mustard and water. You can see it in a coffee cup in the pics.

>>11432103
I'm curious. what exactly is a basic white sauce?

>>11433430
It's this, mate. When I said basic I meant it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9chamel_sauce

Great base sauce to make for added other stuff into obviously. Chopped parsley, chopped sweated onions, curry... whatever.
In this case it's ground mustard seeds soaked in water.

>>11425168
can somebody drop some real knowledge on toxoplasmosis once and for all. because im pretty sure its not as serious or widespread as you faggots seem to think. yeah we get it its the longest word you know and you just have to mention it whenever you see a cat

>>11433480
One in ten people seems pretty widespread to me.

>>11433480
It's a myth. It literally doesn't exist.

>>11433480
i don't approve this attention fag or his cat
but I love cats, and don't own one.
it was a thing that got mentioned in a study, so 4chan leaped on it, same as no internal dialogue was misconstrued and now you get called an NPC for existing. it's never substantiated because all anyone on 4chan wants to do is make you reply to them, they don't even have to be correct to do it

>>11433550
I think it's cute that you felt a need to spend a line disowning the one guy who consistently posts actual cooking threads here.
So fucking what if there's a cat in the photos? You'd rather want another McChicken shill thread?
What's the last post you made about actual cooking?

>>11433480
Toxoplasmosis is a disease you get from infection with one of the world's most common parasite. You can get it many different ways, one of which is from infected cat poop (indoor cats are unlikely to actually be infected). If you're most people the symptoms are literally nothing. If you're a pregnant woman, a baby or someone with a particularly weak immunity then it can get more serious. In the US about 10% of the population is infected.

So basically it's something that OP may or may not have, and does literally nothing, but shitposters gonna shitpost.

Why is the fuck are gyoza wrappers so hard to find in my shitty town? I really don't feel like making them, and the closet place that might have them is almost an hour away. I just want to make some Jap food.

>>11433755
Huh?

>>11432103
yum

That duck isn't quite thawed yet. I procured emergency chops for today's dinner.

>>11436266
A little flour on there.
I will try to batter these. This is new to me but it's good to try new things.
The batter is just water and flour and a little potato starch. With some salt, pepper, and herbs mixed in. I think I've made it thick enough and maybe it'll get a little thicker as it sits.
I can't fit both the cast iron pot with the oil AND the potato pot on the hob at the same time, so I'm boiling the potatoes now and then later I'll heat the oil and fry the chops.
I figure I can throw the potatoes in the oil for the last minute to heat them up a little. Maybe I'll try battering one.

>>11436271
I battered all the potatoes. Worked out alright but my technique does need refining.

>>11436486

>>11436491
no sauce
I think I'm meeting the calorie requirements without it

>>11436266
I've always wonder if you've worked in a culinary industry before?

>>11436486
I wish I enjoy cooking as much as you do

>>11436492
Not much crust on there compared to photos I've seen of stuff like this. What's there is crispy and delicious, though.
The chops are nice and juicy.

>>11436494
I'm flattered that you would ask.
No, though. I worked in retail when I was a teenager and then became an RN specialising in ICU care.

I made these with stuff I could find at the store.

>>11437282
your dick must be tiny.

>>11436504
Looks dank m8

gonna cook later here's the homie Toni aka t-scizzle aka Dr parking lot pimpin

>>11422980

did you say what kind of sauce was on that steak? it looks really really good

>>11438378
WE WANT PATTI

gonna grind some meat

gotta put it in the freezer and get it nice and firm

>>11439081
>>11439087
What are you going to make?

>>11439091
i course ground most for some chili im about to make, double ground a little to save for a burger or something

>>11438478
Maybe I didn't.
It's Bearnaise, but not the homemade kind because I just can't be bothered with that when the meat is the main attraction anyway.

>>11439081
>>11439087
>>11439163
Looking good. I think I lost my grinder last time I moved and I really want to make sausages again soon. Wished for a new one for Christmas, but that's a long wait.

patti is fatti catti

I have a whole duck.
2400 grams, so about the size an American chicken, hah.
I also have a toaster oven but I thought I'd ask for suggestions before just roasting it in there same as usual. Any fun interesting things I could do with it instead?
Maybe some kind of canard au vin?

>>11439309
You might already know this, but making bearnaise with the method where you just dump everything in one pot is pretty chill.

>>11439451
That does look pretty easy.
I'll save the webm and see if I can remember to try it next time

>>11439426
Here's a pic

Here's a pic

>>11409552
holy fuck those look good OP

>>11439451
I've never seen that method, have you tried it? I've made it the old fashioned hollandaise way, over a double boiler, and the way where you pour hot butter into your egg yolks/aromatics with an immersion blender running. This looks pretty legit though

>>11439710
I don't think I've specifically made bearnaise that way, but I've done it with other sauces both in a double boiler and straight in the pan. It's not any faster than the old fashioned way really, there's just a little less messing about with bowls.

>>11438639
PATTI IS SICK FROM EATING WILD GRASS IN GHE GARDEN

stop eating so much, patti!

>>11440887
Whoa ! Instant unfollow

>>11431079

>>11440914
>dog eat dog
It's doggy dog, you ESL sperg

>>11440914
lol ok im calling my travel agent in the morning

>>11439705
thx m8

>>11439309
its pretty sweet i want to get the sausage attachment too

>>11439426
i have a duck in the freezer too i have no idea what imma do with it

doin this chili

https://youtu.be/659pppwniXA

>>11441211
people still have travel agents? I thought that was something that died in ancient times like the 80's

just kinda wingin it here, my goal is going to be a not super spicy, not too thick type of chili that will be good for chili dogs and shit, will freeze portions so i have easy meals in the future cuz i plan on being very busy soon

>>11441243
Can we know more about your homeless story ? Were you "living at a friends house" homeless or legit living under the bridge homeless

>>11440310
we love patti even if she's sick, let us love her

well i dun goofed, put some beans in id soaked over night but they taking forever to soften and i got places to be, but i aint wasting this chili, such is life

>>11441709
This is why I stopped buying dry beans, shit always takes forever even if you soak them and I'm pretty sure the price is the same.

>>11439426
>>11439671
Well, I'm not in the mood for just a roasted one.
I think I'll cut it up and do something in the pot with some white wine. We'll see how it turns out.

>>11441833
>Ooo but you're cheating

>>11441407
was a mix of couch surfing and bandit camping and trying to hold a job, chillin under bridges is strictly leisure

>>11441833
i usually only use them in the slow cooker which explains why this took 7 hours to get it where i want it

after making this chili im not even in the mood for it desu, i might just freeze most of it and cook something else because im filthy rich privileged or whatever

>>11440887
patti no :o

Lads, I got me a big roasting pot. Was thinking of making half of that suckling pig leg that I got a while ago.
What other roasts do you guys make?

>>11443630
I use mine for pretty much anything that doesn't require the pressure cooker or frying pan.
Cheap cuts of beef, fatty porkroasts, whole birds, hares...
I'm a little hard on mine with simmering stuff in it, although I do steer away from acidic stuff like tomato sauces. Haven't had issues with the seasoning ever.

>>11441846
I am still committed to this but I'm not sure it'll turn out as nice as a real coq au vin. The duck is so much fattier than a chicken. We'll see.

Some of these pics are shaky. I apologise for that. Should have had some of that wine before I started maybe hah

Some of these pics are shaky. I apologise for that. Should have had some of that wine before I started maybe hah

And I posted the wrong image at first. These raw birds all look the same to me.
Here's the duck. Saving the innards in the freezer. I think I might just put them in the sausage mix next time I make that.

>>11444467

>>11444472
Frying both in the pan and the pot so it won't take all day. There's so much fat coming off this bad boy.
I gotta go buy some more tomorrow. Make confit later.

>>11444477
Scooping out some fat and adding it to the bowl I had already.
If you haven't had potatoes roasted in duckfat you haven't lived.

>>11440310
pls post patricia, ty

>>11444482
Now it simmers. I don't really know white wines so I just grabbed two that weren't super cheap and had real corks in them. The Bourgogne is alright. The other one is too sweet for me.
A few glasses of the Bourgogne will be lost to attrition.

>>11444488
It's getting there.

Man, the smell of that rosemary really takes me back.
Used to go to Summer festivals when I was young and stupid. Never smoked hashish myself because it made me sick but I enjoyed sitting near the smokers so I could enjoy the smell. Those notes of pine resin and chocolate. Good times.

>>11443187
Glad things are ok now. It's a really great gesture to adopt all these cats. I hope I can have one too one day but I'm too afraid of them scratching my shit

>>11444642
Still need to skim some fat off it at the end, though.

Incidentally, I had a patient in psychiatry once whose psychosis was triggered by more or less that same smell.
Smell and memory are very closely linked in the brain, in an actual physiological sense.
She, her husband, and their teen son were on vacation in some mountain lodge or something and decided to have a cosy fireplace fire. Soon as the scent of that burning pine reaches the old hippocampus she completely shifts into a ragefit and accuses the son of being a drug addict. Has to be restrained and flown back home which is where we take over.
Nobody else on the staff knew, or wanted to admit they knew, that hashish smells like pine resin because of how it's made so it wasn't until I had her days later it became clear what the connection was.
The mind is disturbingly fragile sometimes.

I'm thinking I'll just throw some potatoes into it towards the end and have it with that. Maybe thicken it a little bit with flour if I can find room for a whisk.

>>11444472
>dat cleaver
Damn, I wanted to get one myself for a while. Any recommendations?

>>11444642
Just waiting for the potatoes now.

>>11444669
The one in that pic was the cheapest one I could find on eBay at the time. It seems that was so long ago I can't find it in my purchase history, though.
It's too heavy to be a proper Chinese cleaver, which I'm pretty sure is what it was sold as, but it both takes and keeps an edge quite decently and it apparently works find for hacking up ducks as well.
From what I've heard, a 20-dollar Winco isn't a bad choice.

>>11444748
Fished out the biggest pieces and the potatoes and thickened the sauce a little. Added them back in and was done. It's delicious actually.
I had my doubts when I started but now I think I might do something like this again.

>>11444903
This is actually VERY good. Bit of a hassle to make but I'm thinking that if you have a family to feed you can stretch a duck a bit more this way than if you'd just roasted it in the oven. That rich sauce makes the potatoes a real treat. Some carrots wouldn't have been amiss either.

>>11444959
Adopt me chop

Spooky Patti a best.

Morning smoked meats edition!

Just done today.

>>11448863
Not a big meat guy but that looks phenomenal

>>11448872

thank you! it was definitely awesome, but I think I overcompensated with the initial heat. as the old adage goes: lower and slower.

>>11448900
those digits my boy
What up with you?

>>11448863
That looks amaz balls. Nice view bro.

>>11444959
Leftovers. Got some onion and carrots in there. It was nice.

>>11409552
FUCK those look good. I absolutely love making beans. You'd be surprised how mystifying making dried beans is for the average person. Few things I've learned along the way: soaking is absolutely NOT necessary (except for large beans like fava, and chickpeas), you CAN salt in the beginning of cooking (and it's actually much better this way), and the best way for a big batch and long cook is in the oven, covered, around 250-300 F. Do you have any tips and tricks?

>>11449242
I feel that this is too obvious to call it a "trick", but just in case: cook your beans with good homemade stock, not water.

>>11448863
Looks good man. Nice job.

Vegetable lo Mein, somehow knocked this one out of the park. Happy Friday /ck/ <3

>>11450848
How was it?

>>11448988
Checked

>>11449220
Would steal

Made some breb the other day. Added caraway seeds and a little bit of beef suet to the dough, worked out very well will definitely do it again.

Doing a 2 month habanero carrot brine ferment and 2 months is almost up, things are going well.
My only question is when blending the sauce... I plan on making it on the thinner side. I also want to add some apple cider vinegar for shelf stability and flavor. Would i want to directly replace brine dilution with the vinegar? Or is there some sort of brine-to-vinegar ratio i should go for? Thanks in advance.

>>11450848
Where did you get/what kind of noodles are those?

Beef curry, the jap kind. Doesn't look like much but it's the season for low effort comfy food.
