What kind of blender do you use/recommend?
I have some kitchen-aid bullshit and it keeps getting stuck or creates air pockets or something and stops blending while blending frozen fruit ffs.
do you faggots even own blenders?

I bought a $14 Hamilton Beach single serve blender that does what I want to do. I don't blend too often and am a bachelor, so its fine.
My brother has the magic bullet system. Every store seems to have it 1/4 off during this time of year, so if you blend often, I see the systems for 80-120 depending on which system. He seems to think it does a really good job.
'sup /ck/,
I'm going on a road trip after Christmas and aim to take in as much of the East Coast as I can.
Any stand out restaurants or bars I should visit?
Also what sort of regional cuisine is good?
There are lots of great quality restaurants on the east coast of Australia. I recommend the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant in Melbourne, the Waterview Restaurant in Sydney, and the Alchemy Restaurant & Bar in Brisbane.
Good luck and drive safe!

I'm not in Australia, silly.

flags on /ck/ when?
A few days ago I saw the best cooking advice I've ever read on /ck/ and think it deserves a thread of its own
Here's what you're gonna do OP. Listen carefully because this is very important advice. Lots of people think cooking is all about complicated recipes, big cookbooks and arduous effort. Really it's more of an innate thing.
Learning to cook is much more simple, so pay close attention to what I'm going to say. Are you listening?
Fry an egg and experiment with various seasoning. This will give you an idea of what flavours go well together which is the most important quality in cooking. Fry an egg, cut it in quarter, season each quarter differently. Try one with cayenne and, I dunno, chives? Just experiment with lots of seasoning combinations.
Then fry another egg and repeat the process. Keep frying eggs and experimenting until you get a good idea of what works. You can eat 3-4 eggs in a day, heck you're from /fit/ so probably 6+. If you eat 6 eggs in a day, that's 24 egg quarters, 24 seasoning combinations in a day. You're talkng about 1000 seasoning combinations in just over a month.
At this stage you'll be a spicemaster and what/how you cook wont matter because you'll be better at seasoning than 99% of professional chefs, and this WILL make you a good cook.
I think there's already a troll thread for this up. Maybe wait a day until it 404s or is deleted. Might catch some Christmas fish, anon. Too much bait in the water for now though. A carbonara thread might rustle someone though.
A few weeks ago I posted my recipe for Rock-Bottom liquor. It was pretty much just water, canned pineapple, bread for yeast, and corn sugar to add extra alcohol. Anyways, it's done now and it tastes like hard Pineapple juice. I'm not dead but I might as well be after I finish a few bottles of this stuff. I don't owe you fuckers a thing but I figured you should know that it's legal and doable to brew up your own liquor in a tight spot (depending on where you live).
Cheers
>making toilet wine
fucking disgusting, at least put some effort into it
How did you distill it?
>buy cookies
>eat one
>immediately regret buying them, throw the rest out because I never want to eat sweets again
does this happen to anyone else. fuck, why didn't I buy something savory
My rule of thumb is to only buy fermented sugars.
my only craving for sweets is brownies.
i basically do the same thing, buy some premade brownies and then throw them away because itll be months before i crave it again
Buy parsley to make a pesto
Buy lettuce to make a salad
Buy a potato to bake it
Buy avacado to put on sandwiches
They go bad before i motivate myself to use them and i routinely throw them out
This is why i stick to buying pre-made and pre portioned crap
Look for "quotes over cupcakes" on facebook for more.
Fuck cupcakes and fuck reposting facebook.

This a thing now
It's my first time cooking Christmas dinner. Will glazing my veg clash with the gravy? What are the best ways to add flavor?
Salt = flavor
Aroma = herbs
Sweet = sugar
Sour = vinegar
Fresh = lemon
Smokey = pepper
Take your pick
>>7197745
Thanks but there are sometimes things which sound worse than they taste and vice versa. Hence I want to know which are likely to clash with gravy made from turkey trimmings and chicken stock.
>>7197793
Acids will clash. Avoid citrus when pairing with heavy things like gravy. Yes, it cuts it, but not in a tasteful way. For vegetables stick with simple things like a dash of olive oil, salt and pepper.
how do I not fuck up homemade eggnog?
I tried making some last week and the eggs cooked into scrambled eggs. still ate it but it sure wasn't eggnog
nog general I guess
don't cook the eggs.
nobody will die. Nobody will know. It's the only real way.
Also, this recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/eggnog-recipe2.html

What is your secret snack you don't tell anyone about, /ck/?
>>7197548
ayyyyyyyy
also velveeta and crackers
>>7197539
Sardine in olive oil with some slice bread. Top the sardine on the bread with a little sprinkle of salt and pepper.
And once you finish the sardine, comes the best part. The left over olive oil to sopped up with the bread.
I wish I was not such a picky eater. I feel like I'm missing out on so much in life. Any other picky eaters here on /ck/? Come and join the /peg/ thread.
>tfw chicken tendies and french fries
Fuck off.
The last thing /ck/ needs is another picky eater thread, let alone a general.
Go back to your little kid board.
i'm only super bad about certain food textures, i got a lot better about my pickyness when i stopped eating like shit all the time
Whenever somebody puts a plate of food in front of you that you think you dont like, just eat as much as you can and do your best, but really try to.
Whenever you go to a quality restaurant order something on the fringes of what you think you like, push the boat out a little bit. This really helped me a lot, having something you're not used to done really really well can help change your mind.
At least it did for me, I used to be extremely picky, but the first step was to stop thinking of myself as a picky eater and the second step was just to munch some stuff down that I wasnt overjoyed about, and actually this changed pretty quickly, most of it is psychological. There are still things I wont/cant eat but the list is 30 times smaller than it used to be and ill try anything at least twice.
With the Loonie tanking thanks to le weed man I was wondering what are some quality frostback goods to order online? And what is the difference in contents between these two bottles?
Thanks in advance.

Does this look like a healthy meal to you?
>>7197295
Well tell us what it is first. Chicken/turkey is fine, veggies look fine, brown rice is meh, rather have bread but nothing wrong with it
Yeah no maybe I guess I don't know can you repeat the question
Yeah, but if i had to eat that, id probably kill myself
>>7197295
More importantly, is this healthy meal tasty? No, that bland pile is not tasty. Toss those veggies with smoked paprika. There should be a big chunk of lemon next to that chicken. Mix in an aromatic spice like cumin seed into that rice.
