Every year on my birthday myself and my two brothers go out to a nice steak restaurant for a relatively high-end steak. Anybody else have some type of birthday tradition?

whats the deal with coconut oil why is it on every recipe i see online? is it better then olive oil in some health way or is it just for the flavour
one of them lame "health" trends
you also see it in moisturisers and hair products because why the hell not.
just scoop it right out of the jar and rub your whole body in it, inside and out.

I guess it's one of hose fad things. Starbucks has coconut milk now, made with single-origin Sumatran coconuts, as an alternative to their soy milk as a lactose-free option.
How's that for buzzwords?

Anyone a fan of tofu? I'm not a vegetarian, but I love it especially with it's with kimchi or a meat.
>>7367196
Not really. I guess it's ok when sliced thin and fried until crispy and dipped in some kind of sauce. I'd still rather eat meat or just vegetables instead.
>>7367196
mapo tofu is one of my favorite dishes
>>7367213
Fuck please tell me how to make that.

I'm kind of irked out by the dark brown/black spots. I've never really ate avocados before.
>>7366771
I'd cut around the brown spots. Always buy an extra avocado or two in case you get a rotten-ish one.
>>7366771
unless its like half brown or more it is fine
>>7366772
>rotten-ish
The one in the OP isn't even close to being rotten; it's perfectly fine.
Was thinking about doing a chili without beans tomorrow.
Anyone got any good recipes?
>>7366752
No such thing as a good recipe without beans. Hate to break it to you.
Hmm chilis without beans.... let me get my children's cookbook
>chili
>no beans
>Go to a cafe for the first time
Ask the waiter "uhh, so what do you like?"
"What do I like? Oh, I always go for X"
>order X.
>it tastes like CRAP
>>7366671
Why would you ask what some stranger likes?
>>7366671
Never take the waitstaff's word for something. Most of them don't have any idea what they're talking about.
I've worked both front of house and kitchen, and unless the server has not only 1. tried all the food, and 2. knows what good food is supposed to be, their opinions will be crap.
That's retarded thing to ask on numerous ways and you deserve the disappointed and inconvenience it caused you.
hey cu/ck/s,
whenever i make a roux with just oil/fat and flour, it seems to come out lumpy most of the time. however, when i first start with some veggies in the pan (usually finely chopped onions, also sometimes carrots or celery), and oil/fat as well, then add the flour, it seems to prevent the lumps from forming in the roux.
is this just a coincidence, or is there something that is working to prevent lumping? in either case, what am i doing wrong to cause the lumps to form?
>>7366499
Coincidence. Just use a whisk and whisk the fuck out of it to get the lumps out.
Too high heat, not stirring enough.
Then again, I make large batches of roux at work using the oven and it always comes out fine.
>>7366511
It doesn't break when you do it in the oven? Do you make a very dry roux, or what?
good evening /ck/ !
or at least here. but more to point, I've run out of good fish recipes. my family loves how i cook the fish when i make them, but I've run most of my recipes into the ground.
How can I make an amazing fish dish, without absolutely going nuts on the ingredient list?
Crack open a can of mackerel, they're way better than sardines.
Put it on a pizza.
I made some ginger garlic salmon last week. That was pretty good. Had a sweet potato and some broccoli too.
How do I use coconuts in cooking?

Open the coconut (pic related). Now you have the liquid (aka coconut milk) and the white flesh.
You can drink the liquid as is. It's also commonly used in southeast Asian cooking, especially Thai (curries, soups, etc.) and southern Indian.
If you cook the liquid with some of the flesh and then strain it out you end up with coconut cream, which is very sweet and also fairly fatty. It has the same uses as above in curries. It's also commonly used in desserts in all sorts of cuisine--Chinese, Thai, Indian, etc.
The flesh can be grated and used to top salads or in desserts as well. Also macaroons.
what does half chicken mean
what does quarter chicken mean
ty
>>7366176
/half chicken means you get half of a chicken. Oddly enough, a quarter chicken means you get 1/4 of a whole chicken.
Pretty confusing, I know.
Think back, waayyy back, to when you were taught what fractions are.
Probably kindergarten.
>>7366182
Well quarter chicken doesn't really explain itself so I can see someone being legitimately confused about that. It's not like you can cut chickens into 4 even pieces.
Generally it's a breast + a drumstick
Add back in a thigh and wing and you have the half
