As a kid we always left the butter out on the counter, but as years went by and I moved out on my own, I started keeping butter in the fridge.
Lately after reading /ck/, etc. I started leaving butter out on the counter but I'm getting butter flies. Never remember them in the kitchen when I was young, but I got them now.
Anyway to keep the butter flies away from the butter? Doesn't sound healthy to see them things flying around and alighting on the butter.

Get a butter holder. They sell them at Walmart and everywhere else. It's just a little glass case the size of a stick of butter. My wife was doing what you are and I bitched about bugs on my butter so she bought one. Under $10 I think. Problem solved.

>nyway to keep the butter flies away from the butter?
Assuming this isn't some kind of bullshit trolling about lepidoptera, cover it.
Also, what you're describing are likely fruit flies. The real source of those is probably somewhere else in the kitchen and they just happen to be hanging around the butter also.

butter dish op

>Arby's
>gyro
Wtf is this? I thought checking out their $6 for two gyros deal would be worth it but i pretty much got this shit
>Goes to Arby's for a gyro
>Wonders why you get shitty deli meat instead of lamb meat
And $6 for two, it doesn't surprise me if it turns out to be shitty. And the fact that it's Arby's doesn't help either.

>Still, they add some variety and a different flavor profile to the menu while they're around.
> The gyros were a lot bigger than I thought they'd be (you can see, they dwarf the quarter in the picture above) and there was a good amount of meat in them. There was a bit more meat to the beef one than the turkey one, although there wasn't any lack of coverage inside except maybe at the very ends.
>The pita was pillowy soft, dense, and pretty pliable. It held together excellently.
This is the kind of standards a fast food restaurant like Arby's is held up to. Meat positions, pliable casing, edible meat, and crisp lettuce.
This is convenient food. It's the pretty much as if dollar stores had edible styrofoam food and over the years carefully developed it so that it could closely match real food, yet still compete with it's prices. That's what fast food is like.
And I'm not saying you're claiming that pic to be yours, btw, I just found the review it's from. Looks nasty. There are drive-thru gyro restaurants around here and they're absolutely delicious.

>Arby's
That's the problem to begin with.
Is there such a thing as food that can help alleviate depression? My therapist said something like junk food can really hurt you but I've never heard of that before and I suppose if anyone was to know about it'd be you guys.
So then I'll just ask if you know of any foods that can help alleviate symptoms of depression
when i cut out junk food and high sodium foods from my diet i noticed i felt a lot happier overall. that was just me though, but it might not be a bad idea to cut that stuff from your diet.
if your emotional state is already fragile, being generally unhealthy makes you feel worse. It's not that there are foods that alleviate depression. It's that if you are devouring tons of junk, overdosing on sugar, and missing out on vitamins, you're adding a general layer of biological shittiness on top of whatever else was bringing you down.

Just about ready to start preparing my yummy home made barbecue sauce.

Kill yourself. Just get a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's if you're that lazy.

America, everyone.
Got sick and missed my cousin's birthday. Want to make it up to her and take her someplace nice. We live in San Diego, any ideas of a good nice place that's not 5 star restaurant but still good place to get tipsy and maybe fool around without worrying about wandering eyes?
>>7580314
Fool around with your cousin?
>>7580317
LOL excuses my language... I mean, how to say, eat pussy under table?? That help m8?
Why not just get a bottle of champagne and a nice hotel room? No one can see you behind closed doors.
Also the risk of birth defects even with first cousins is severely overstated, as long as you aren't repeating the process for generations it's no more risky than say, having kids past the age of 30, which most of you prudes are totally ok with.
how should i prepare these bad boys?
>buying vacuumed meat
Hope you enjoy the taste of something that was frozen since the WW2.
Put into a grinder and make tacos.
>>7580184
seer it on a really hot pan with a little bit of oil, then add a nob of butter and keep splashing it over with a spoon. Take out of the pan and let it rest in some tin foil. Then make some gravy out of the remaining butter and oil in the pan by adding some flower first mix it in and the add a splash of beer. Now enjoy it like a man! Also add lots of pepper and sea salt

That looks really good, but I thought fine dining stopped that weird misuse of the term "confit" a while back.
I never really understood what it means, how do you confit a salisfy?
>>7580159
cook it in fat?
i guess it's "braised", but it's braised in olive oil/aromatics instead of stock or whatever
Had sushi for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd time this week. I have missed out for so long. Educate me on best sushi. Are the places with 1/2 off signs safe? Is this food healthy?
>>7580110
I really like Eel and get at least one order everytime. Same with tuna. I always ask for Toro but no one ever has it at the time. When it comes to rolls I stay away from cream cheese or anything fried.
of course you always gotta start with miso and get some warm sake.
>>7580241
"start with miso" you fucking baka gaijin you finish with miso
>>7580269
sorry I'm not a weeb. I've been to at least 20 different sushi places and every single one of them offer salad/miso to start.
Every time i eat string cheese i feel like i have eaten a shitload of needles. Nothing compares to the horrific pain of your insides shredding after eating string cheese. Every other cheese is fine but fucking stupid idol of USA attempts to kill you why would you eat this shit.

Tried Beaver Tails and what do you think of them?
>>7579895
They look like elephant ears.
>>7579902
Well they remind me of hash browns.
The Chinese in Canada surely must be disappointed when they find out it isnt real beaver.

How do I make good delicious food? Where do I start with finding resources for this?
>tfw no sticky
You start by fucking picking up after yourself.
>>7579825
Just eat tins of tuna.
>>7579825
You start with onions. Saute one minute. Add garlic.
So we haven't even addressed a specific meal, but your dish is going to be 10x tastier than if you weren't doing this.
Pho Thai Nguyen in Oklahoma City
I've been a loyal patron of this place for about 10 years. There are 20+ pho joints in this part of OKC and this one is the finest in my opinion, but I rarely get pho there. They have other dishes that are WAY better.
The plastic foliage and utilitarian decor seem to highlight the fact their top priority is the food
so what's the best way to drink wine?
>>7579571
orally
Without any regard to how it tastes.
>>7579571
Cheap, French, and straight from the bottle.
What do you like to make with fish sauce?
Beef stew.
>>7579546
stir fry mostly
Two tablespoons of fish sauce goes into my legendary curries
