/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I could have an infinite supply of money and a magical fridge with any ingredient I needed and I'm pretty sure I still wouldn't cook for myself.
I need a way to fix that first.

>>18348327
Shit that can be made in bulk that improves as leftovers can make many expensive dishes very reasonable as long as you're fine with having the same dinner for 3 days. A really nice beef burgundy, chili, pulled pork, corned beef/pastrami.

goddamn we need a poorfag sticky

stirfry over rice

>>18348348
pulled pork...good idea to make in bulk. Just called a local butcher and they have it for 2.25$ a pound....wow

Just go to a food kitchen bro

>>18348392
I'm looking into food pantry places around me, some places even supply fresh produce which i was surprised with.

>>18348391
I don't know about you but I still routinely see chuck roasts on sale for $3/lb so a good beef stew isn't too expensive. Perfect bachelor food as well, as besides the prep, it cooks itself and it only tastes better the next day.

>>18348327
Cut up sausage and some veggies. Put on top of uncooked rice in rice cooker or in pot. Cook rice with stuff on top. Stir everything together.

Works great if you add a couple chipotle in adobo sauce with their sauce.

Reminder that while you are struggling to feed yourself, the top .1% just doubled their wealth.

>>18348443
oof. Yeah..that would get me down in the dumps if I didn't also read that they have been divorced, even multiple times. Super rich but still cant find love.

>>18348443
wanting cheap meals doesn't mean he's struggling. i buy cheap stuff and i'm very fortunate financially

>>18348454
>>18348455

oh wow look at these WEF bots trying to rationalize the greatest wealth transfer/theft in history.

>>18348477
so buy stocks or gold or whatever the elites are buying. or if we're going 'great reset' here then maybe you should be short. pretty simple anon make that money

>>18348327
nice cat

>>18348482
I'd rather make fertilizer

>>18348485
>i want to stay poor
that's fine, maybe you should stop complaining though since you can do something about it

>>18348327
Some anon posted this a while back and Ive been jamming with it for weeks

>>18348417
Looks fucking disgustingly wet and oily. I've been spoiled by pilaf.

>>18348507
>maybe you should stop complaining though since you can do something about it
Discussing issues of civil unrest in public forums is a pretty basic part of process. Perhaps you should just stop, shill, troll, retard either way you are just embarrassing yourself.

>>18348523
Neither of those actually. Short grain rice confuses the ricelet.

>>18348336
>I need a way to fix it
You just need to fix it, quit being a fag and cook for yourself.

>>18348801
bretty based and fair. Imma fake it til I make it by making cooking threads until I'm back up to full speed and just cooking for myself again, desu

>>18348327
Funny kitty

A single guy with money shouldnt eat alone. He should go to bars to dine in and meet with people.

wtf where did you find my cat

>>18349227
He is mine now.

>>18348977
not OP, but how would you even randomly approach people and have a meal with them?

>>18348327
Deenz on toast. Don't get the ones in tomato sauce, get them in olive oil. Toast bread, find a big loaf of freshly made bread locally if you can, but regular white bread works. Put a lot of butter on your toast, tomatoes optional, they can be cooked or not, sardine on top.
One you open the can the intense, nasty fish smell comes out but don't trust it, deenz are delicious.

>>18349335
Find places that have a bar/counter, or go to places that get really crowded, start a conversation with the people that are next in line after you while you wait, and offer to share the table so that they don't have to wait so much. This one depends on a lot of things, doesn't work if it's couples or a family of 8 or another loner on their phone that doesn't want to talk, but it's a good move when you're trying new places by yourself, too.

>>18348327
Lately I've been buying tortillas, make a big batch of sloppa, and eat it as buritos.

>>18350146
yeah this is what I do
I eat it with sour cream, dolloped out from the big tub to save money.
Usually lentil based sloppa, sometimes split pea soup reduced down to a paste
what type of sloppa are you making, anon?

>>18348327
You can't go wrong with instant ramen, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Cheap delicious eats.

>>18348327
Rice & Beans never fails
Minced Meat Burger
Soup & Bread

>>18348327
Try using cheaper cuts of meat, there's plenty you can do with offal, or you can eat less meat and where you can substitute more veg for meat.

>>18348510
This looks like it'll do it, but the OP did say he's sick of eating the same thing, so he'd probably get tired of this as well.

>>18348351
>expecting mods to maintain the sticky

I too, was once a hopeful youth

>>18348327
Jjigae is easy and really good.

Buy the cheapest country sausage at the store. Fry on the stove till cooked. Add hot sauce.

>>18349283
Good lookin' tabby...
Is he as vocal as my gals?

>>18351894
They are ready to eat dumbass

>>18351906
aw she's smiling

Half pound of ground beef, rice, beans, can of tomatoes, some chilli spices. Boom one pan of sloppa.

>>18349360
>get them in olive oil.
This is sound advice--
The food industry always tries to hide old product with heavy flavoring--There is a reason, they suggest using tomato juice to bathe in if you get sprayed by a skunk.
*PROTIP: NEVER buy any meat or fish product that is sold prewrapped and pre-seasoned--they are trying to get rid of old product already going bad.

>>18348336
Just fucking do it.
>ooooh I need to do something I’m not doing how do I don’t not do what I’m not doing but do don’t not doing it instead

>>18351906
Yes.

>>18351925
She just had a massive brushing in that pic.
I got my gals used to a high quality English flea comb as kittens--they LOVE it, and RARELY ever have gotten fleas, Regardless of how many dog owners who DON'T pick up after their "FurBabbies" are around me.
Since I moved away from the "Urb-Suburbs" 3 years ago, they haven't needed topspot at all.
As to the TOPIC:
Getting a cheap $20 rice cooker is a boon--you can make more than just rice.
My favorite cheap go-to is lentils and rice:
1 Pintglass jasmine rice
1/2 Pintglass lentils(sorted and rinsed beforehand, easiest on a paper plate in 1/3nds of the whole volume)
1-2 T. butter
2 Pintglasses water
Seasonings to taste:I use
1T Gar. Pow.
fresh ground Black pepper
1 T poultry seasoning(beau monde) ~or~
1 T. Italian seasoning.
any kind of meat; Chicken, Deens, etc...
~or~ Cheese if I have it.
I can't eat this for 3 days in a row, but it does pad out the week cheaply enough.
Also, ask any local stores where you buy food where their discount/Clearance sections are.
Almost all of them have them (I haven't seen one at Aldis,) and they are often hidden.

>Same dinner for three days
Have you retards not heard of a freezer?

>>18351953
Wotta GUY!!
He a good hunter like mine too?
>pic rel
Is NO SHIT, a valentines day gift from my gals--
I'm sure it was accidental, since kots can't into monkey symbolism so good, but...

>>18348327
Just eat that cat.

>>18351992
I'm not them but my freezer doesn't have a ton of space and I'd rather save it for other things than big batch sloppa that's just gonna be some form of boring anyways.

>>18352003
What a kind gift. Mine have eaten the heads of little snakes as well and refuse to eat the rest. Lots of lizards too.

They are very good hunters. Gopher is their choice meal.

>>18352073
Based kitty.
Mine prefer rabbit-- The pups, they just eat, the mature ones they bring to me, I check the liver for tularemia, then they get it along with their bowl food.
Nice to know your Kot won't starve if the food supply gets fucked--(it's Coming)
Another good cheap food helper is of course buying basic staples and having a good assortment of herbs and spices.
My go-to now is biglots, since they have good sized spices for a dollar apiece.
Even Dollar Tree doesn't have that anymore.

>>18348327
Okay my go to is the triangle method: protein, green stuff, carbs.
Example: eggs, brocoli, rice. / chicken steak/ green beans / potatoes.
For variation use different preparing methods like roasting, boiling, grilling

>>18348327
Chicken burrito

what do you home cook for your cats

>>18348327
just make recipes that feed a lot and scale them down/put them up for later

>>18348327
Nachos are easy to make sloppa. There's also shepherds pie which can be made in bulk and frozen. There's pizza where you can prep and make 50 doughs at once and leave them in the freezer, then pop them in the oven with toppings when you're hungry.

>>18348510
blessed poorfag thai peanut satay. fresh cilantro actually tastes good with it too.

>>18355322
is there any way to make pizza at home without a pizza stone? I can't afford a rock... maybe unglazed clay tiles but worried about them shifting apart.

>>18355682
Just make it on an inverted sheet pan, or cookie sheet.

make a batch of burritos and keep frozen in freeze. make them wide and flat so they reheat easier, microwave for 90 seconds then finish in toaster oven for 2 min

maybe like 8 burritos at a time over two or four weeks ago, then change up the ingrediants/spices next time you make more burritos

>>18351894
buiscuts and gravy is stupid easy and make like 3 batches each morning in a row with a lb of sausage... then the next 3 mornings in a row eat something that isnt salt/nitrate filled animal diaherrea.

they sell small pilsbury biscuit tins... or you could learn to make your own buiscuits. i imagine its not hard, especially if you have a dish washer to clean up after you. i find the most time consuming part of baking bread products is the clean up

Use the coupon “freesub” when ordering a Subway footlong online and you get one free footlong. I got two Italian BMT’s for $9.06. That’s $4.53 each

>>18355650
Reminds me of my favorite novel.

1 pound of lentils ($1.20 at Walmart) added to the crock pot, covered in water, with whatever herbs and seasonings mixed in. Leave it on low all day, enjoy your cheap and nutritious slop. Lots of fiber too.

>>18348327
chilli, stirfry, shit like that
pizza is pretty cheap honestly if you make it from scratch

>>18348327
I chop a bunch of cabbage + other two vegetables, lately carrots and spinach, store them in the refrigerator, ready for use anytime. Cabbage tastes like shit when raw, you have to either ferment it or sear it. Sear it all until the cabbage is tasty, i use lard, mix three eggs, add some cheese perhaps, make an omelette with 3 eggs. Boom. Tasty, fast, and healthy, that's what i have everyday for breakfast. Protein and veggies, just need a carb source, i eat tortillas since i'm Mexican, but bread or leftover pasta would work just fine too.

>>18348327
Ramen with peanut butter and sriracha.
