Should have went with the diarrhea desu senpai.
Usually it's good but I had a bad experience there yesterday so I'm off of it for awhile.
HALLOWEEN'S OVER AND THERE ARE NOW 53 SHOPPING DAYS LEFT UNTIL CHRISTMAS /ck/!
Post what's on your wish list this year, or some cooking hardware you already own but are very proud of.
Has that Le Creuset Dutch Oven really caught your eye? What about getting your fingers proverbially wet with an Anova Precision Cooking sous vide machine ? Or how about some Thermapop Instant Thermometer Stocking Stuffers?
For me, it's to finally step up from using my 1980s-vintage hand mixer to a Kitchenaid Artisan stand.

You look like an asshole when you bump your own thread, especially on a slower board.

This is what I want for christmas. Or something similar.
>>7035025
Pining after a $500 equivalent of a $50 piece of equipment makes you look like an asshole too.

RWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Hey buddy! What's the weather like in 2009 where you're obviously posting from? It's unseasonably warm here in almost2016. We hit 70° today and I live in the Northeastern US!
>>7034035
How is this a "trend"?
I have literally never seen this anywhere, ever.

risotto
Just because you're a retard and can't cook risotto doesn't make it shit. Risotto is amazing, easily my favorite rice dish. And if you aren't a mongoloid, it can be made start to finish in under 20 minutes
I hope you wear a helmet
Do you like being called 'chef', /ck/?
No. I fucking hate Food Network for exactly this reason
>Okay chefs! (none of them has ever even worked in a restaurant)
>Junior edition of whatever stupid shit is on: "Alright junior chefs!"
It's like nobody ever fucking told them the difference between cook and chef. Some dumbass 14 year old kid or a stupid bitch who has never cooked outside of her own kitchen has never ran a section of a professional kitchen
That's like calling the mayor president because LOL SAME THING RITE
>>7033790
That's a damned 'amen!', mate.
Got intro'd to a 'Juice Chef' once.
Blew my fuckin mind.

Juice Chef?
Hello friends!
Tonight I saw this picture of a sandwich and decided it looked good. I am currently in the process of making this and will post pictures of the procedure in this thread.
Why would you waste lobster meat like this?
Just eat a goddamn lobster roll, holy fuck
The ingredients, mostly. Lobster is expensive and I'm out of macaroni
Boil dat pasta

>you just move into a new house

What do you get on your first trip to the store?
>>7033641
Eggs, nonstick pan for eggs, pot, bacon, bread, pb/jam, milk.
This will last me long enough to make a proper grocery list without starving.
>>7033720
strange
I also lived on eggs when I first moved into my apartment
>>7033728
not too strange, almost everyone i know has eggs in their diet and they're easy and cheap enough to live off of at first
Sushi: an expensive meal which is unfilling and doesn't taste that great
>unfilling
dafuq you talking about? Sushi is full of rice. It's absolutely bloating.

>>7033515
sushi's not that expensive if you make it yourself in bulk
>That will be 15 pounds, plus mandatory 20% value-added tax ;)
>That will be 15 dollars, plus 20% mandatory tip
Why the fuck did you think this was a worthwhile thread?
>>7033224
B8 m8, the 20% is already included baka desu senpai
I CANNOT make fresh tortillas for the life of me. I don't think I'm a bad cook, I make meals all the time and I love baking and working with flour, but trying to use masa makes me furious.
I don't have a tortilla press, which is one problem, but I have a pie bag and a rolling pin. I should be able to do something with that. Or by freaking hand even.
But my masa doesn't stick together. It constantly breaks apart. I've tried both more water and less water multiple times. I get a flat-ish circle that doesn't hold its shape and sticks...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>Masa
It's Literally FUCKING DOUGH, LITERAL TRANSLATION. WHAT THE FUCK
The only difference is that it is corn flour instead of wheat
if it cracks, it's a little too dry.
are you letting the dough rest? there isnt much/any gluten in a masa dough, but a resting period before rolling will markedly improve your results.
like making bread, use masa flour to dust your board and pin when rolling. i use a pan lid with sharp edges like a big cookie cutter to get a perfectly round edge (then re-roll the edge scraps for the next tortilla)

>Chipotle uses all natural ingredients! It's good for you!
that's a lot more than 40 pounds
those fucking fatasses have much bigger problems than chipotle
>>7032866
Chipotle is burritos right? Whats wrong with advertising naturql ingredients? Its just a marketing stunt. Who eats 2 a week anyway, thats unhealthy as fuck
>>7032866
One of their burritos has like 1,000 calories
You can have that as a meal if you have a small breakfast.
So how was that Halloween shift Anon?

On second post shift pint right now. Feels good.
i work at mcdonalds, it was pretty dead here actually
>>7032732
I know the feeling brother, second my shift ended I went down to Tescos, waited for them to open and bought a bottle of vodka with a carton of orange juice.
What do you think of my Wendy's order, /ck/?
>>7032555
6/10
nice trips
>>7032555
>not getting fries to dip in the chili
0/10 would go to Burger King
>>7032555
Looks bretty gud. I won't move anywhere that doesn't have a good Wendy's nearby. They're the perfect model for what fast food can and should be.
They were fast casual before fast casual was fast casual.
So whenever I search for "healthy" recipes I always end up getting nothing but a bunch of extreme dieting crap. I like to cook but most of what I cook isn't exactly good for me.
Looking to add in some better for me recipes into the rotation.
I'll start with poached eggs on toast. Its one of my go to breakfasts, its delicious, and just happens to be one of the healthiest ways to eat eggs
>>7031333
If you use a non-stick pan, and don't overdo the fat, it's pretty hard to make unhealthy eggs.
Make a cabbage soup with a light broth, mushrooms, green onion, tofu, been sprouts, chili peppers, etc.
Vibrant, filling, great for the winter (if you live in my hemisphere), etc.
Salads are probably the worst diet food out there. Avoid. My suggestion would be lentil, bean and legume dishes. Soups and pastas with these are about the healthiest foods on the planet.
