Just a carrot used in the cooking of the chicken. Also added some onions from the broth. While the soup and pasta/rice is cooked apart, the eggs are beaten and you add 1-2 lemons, then warm the beaten eggs bit by bit with the broth from the cooked soup so it doesn't coagulate and then add it. I also added celeri in juilienne, but probably a bad choice since celeri has an acidic taste and the soup already is acidic. Next time I think peas might be a good idea. Maybe even potatoes.

I eat one frozen pepperoni pizza per day and that's my entire diet already. My freezer is just big enough for me to only have to go out shopping once a week, I don't have to waste a lot of time on food preperations and it's relatively inexpensive at around 10 bucks per week. I have also developed a little system that tells me exactly when I have to do the dishes, which is when the little drops of solidified grease on my plate become old enough to negatively affect the taste of the pizza.

Made another big batch of granola to snack on for the next few weeks.
Oats, honey, maple syrup, pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, raisins, dried cranberries, dried peaches, dried cherries, and now with the addition of hemp, flax and chia seeds.

I tried making some steak.............

And upon reflection I think I really should have seasoned it before putting it on the grill, actually let it defrost instead of getting impatient and trying to defrost 3 fused together steaks over an open fire, and then I probably should've realized I didn't need it to look charry on the outside before it was done. Taking it our when it was brown probably would've been sufficient. At least the egg yolk made it somewhat edible.

Mostly flavorless I think, maybe a bit earthy? People add them to smoothies and other things as a nutrition boost that doesn't really impact anything else. After looking at the bag I got the hemp seeds are "hulled" so I'm not sure if that impacts anything.

I think I'm going to try making bread soon. The ingredients are very cheap, but how long does homemade bread last? Could you get nice bags and make it last 2 weeks or so? I'm definitely not someone that wants to cook every day, or even every week.

 No.155040

>>155038
My sister in law makes sourdough bread quite often and it's amazing. Also the thing is that she just has her starter which she takes care of and feeds every so often with water and bread flour and that's all you need to keep it alive and growing to continuously spit out more and more bread. So if you want to go making bread then you should probably look into cultivating a sourdough starter first, the process can take a little while but supposedly once you have it it's pretty tough to lose it unless you don't take care of and neglect it.

 No.155041

>>155038
I did it for a while at the end of the PAN(パン)demic

I tended to not create enough quantity to last until expiring, because creating the same quantity of bread as you get in the store requires a lot of flour.

I've never prepared raw fish before. Other than being careful of where you're buying from, how do you avoid things like parasites in the fish?

 No.155356

>>155343
That mostly, and check the color of the skin, the flesh, and the gills. Probably best to buy with the head if you want to be thorough.
If there's something wrong with the fish, probably best to not eat it.
That said, it's pretty low risk. Especially compared to meats, in which case the risk is still very low if you get good meat.
Parasites from fish aren't a big problems for humans, although freshwater fish have a higher risk (which are for cooking up anyway). In other words, it's a very small worry. You'd be more likely to get sick from rotten fish than get sick from a parasite.

technically, yeah, but i was trying to follow a chashu recipe. pork belly is not typically sold here either unless you're in an oriental supermarket. the recipe is pretty simple either way, as you essentially just chuck the meat into the pot and let it simmer for however long, and then afterwards you have something you can slice up for instant noodles, eat with rice, or whatever else. i've been cooking a lot of japanese recipies lately because it's quite easy.

You should consider taking ivermectin or some other kind of deworming medicine. I thought I was lactose intolerant for most of my life since about age 8-10. Turns out I just had worms and no doctor I saw thought to test for them because
>we don't have worms in the first world
Which is bullshit. There are worm eggs everywhere because people don't wash their hands after taking a dump and they have cats/dogs which lick their butts all of the time then lick their fur. Which you pet/touch. Dogs in particular are really bad with wanting to kiss you on the mouth.

Worm eggs are everywhere and in civilized countries that aren't the modern west people are smart enough to deworm themselves twice yearly. They make chocolates for this purpose and everything in kangaroo land.

If you don't have worms what's the harm in trying? It's literally 2-3 small pills once and then again two weeks later. If your symptoms improve after taking then you'll know. Although, you'll probably see poo shaped worms in your poop a few days after the first dose if you're paying attention like I was. You take it again in two weeks because more of them hatch. You take it twice yearly because it's impossible to avoid consuming worm eggs no matter where you live and how proactive you are about washing your hands. They've evolved to be a constant problem and they want to live in you and enjoy the free food and board.

I suspect most "allergies" to food are simply people with untreated worm infestations. I am serious anon doctors are not trained to look for them in the west and even when they try the tests for it (poo smear to look for eggs) is not very effective in the first place. There is absolutely no harm in taking something like ivermectin twice a year provided you're taking the proper does. If you tell me how many pounds/kg you weigh I can give you the dose you should take since it's based upon body weight. It's kind of impossible to overdose on it as well because it's one of the safest medicines we've ever developed.

The story on how it was found is really cool too. Japanese guy just stumbled upon it on a golf course in Tokyo and despite digging all over the world they've never found it in the wild again in any other sample. It's a gift from kami.

I take it twice a year myself now. Once in the spring and again in the late fall. I went from being unable to eat ice cream to being able to consume entire tubs of it everyday if I want. I was so happy I could eat it again that I was eating two tubs a week there for awhile. But now I've restricted myself and only buy it once a month. Otherwise I'd become as fat as my house. I can enjoy milkshakes now too instead of having to make sure I am within range of my bathroom 15 minutes after drinking one and having horrible pains and gas.

The only reason I figured out I had worms is because one happened to die and come out of my butt hole. I got lucky and it was hanging halfway out and I found it while I was in the shower. Despite bagging it up and showing a doctor he still claimed I was crazy for thinking I had worms. Even though a simple google search matched it to the most common type of worms out there that infest humans.

I had roundworms called Ascariasis. In addition to making it so I was unable to properly digest a lot of types of food it was causing me to have horrible morning coughing. Since they migrate to the lungs as part of their life cycle. They want to be coughed back up then swallowed once they reach breeding age. Within 1 day of taking ivermectin the first time my coughing symptoms went away and have never returned. In 2 days I started passing the dead ones out and my beer belly vanished. Within a few more days I'd passed tons of them out and I felt better than I had in years. I can not consume all the types of foods that used to bother me for years and I no longer ping-pong between constipation and having watery stool.

I had a friend that was told by multiple doctors that they couldn't consume gluten due to an "allergy" and had been on a very restricted diet for 20+ years. She took the chance of taking ivermectin because she was willing to do anything to have a normal diet again and avoid the daily pain+taking all those pills she was on for the gluten intolerance+IBS. She too finally got well and can now eat most anything she wants within reason. She's very happy to be able to enjoy pizza from her favorite local restaurant again along with being able to eat anything she wants at local gatherings.

Please note I'm not one of these people that think Ivermectin is a cure all. This drug got a very bad rap over the last few years due to the media and idiots on the internet promoting it for anything and everything. It was very frustrating attempting to search the web for information about it when I tried last winter.

I chose it because in my country it was the only deworming medicine I could obtain OTC. I tried to get dewormer from a doctor and they flat out refused despite most of them being much safer than most of the other medicine they always attempt to give me free samples for. This experience really caused me to distrust the medical community in my country. Since I'd been attempting to combat my various "IBS"/"intolerance to certain foods" issues for years along with the other symptoms I was having like the coughing. I am pissed I had to resort to buying this stuff from farm supply store and breaking out calculator to convert the animal kind to a proper dose. Since I know the 3 small pills I needed should have only cost like $1 if I could have gotten a doctor to write the prescription.

It worked for me and I'm so grateful I have access to it at all. I bought a whole bunch because I plan on taking it twice a year for the rest of my life because I never want to be infested with worms again. It was horrible and I know I must have had them for at least 25+ years. I suspect I picked them up as a child playing in the dirt and with the animals. That or I got them from someone else that was infected at the public school I attended since I know a lot of them never washed their hands after going number 2.

>>157557
I've wondered if I had those too because I would get the itchy butt for many years. My Dad sure as hell wasn't checking for them and Mom was long gone. I know that most children get them now that I've researched worm infestations in humans more thoroughly.

I'm not sure if ivermectin kills threadworms too but my butt hasn't been itchy lately so they probably got killed off along with the roundworms. I do know the meds for threadworms don't work on roundworms. I don't think ivermectin works for common tapeworms either. But the ivermectin I bought is a combination medicine with the one that works for tapeworms. So I hit them with the double wammy.

I would have preferred buying the ivermectin only solution but it was sold out when I tried to buy it OTC. People in this area seem to be really enjoying the apple flavored paste I wanted to buy. I had to opt for the unflavored combo'd version. But after researching the other drug and doing some quick math to convert notches to milligrams and being very careful thanks to years of experience taking experimental drugs to get high that I ordered from China I worked out a safe dose. But honestly, I wasn't that worried about taking too much anyway considering both were pretty safe and the LD50 of both was so high. Whenever I get a chance I'm going to stock up on a better formulation with ivermectin only though. If I can ever catch the farm supply store at a time when they aren't sold out.

I think a lot of the old folks around here are using it for other conditions I won't name. Aside from cancer. Lots of people claiming it's good for that and I don't blame anyone for trying anything and everything to combat cancer. Since it's basically death sentence. Plus a lot of the locals are really poor here. They can't afford to see a doctor so they have to be their own. Huge difference between paying $150+ for an appointment where the guy refuses to do anything vs. $20 at the farm supply store where you can get treatment no questions asked. Know a lot of people that get their antibiotics from the fish tank supply store too. Since it's the same medicine only at a much reduced price.

But yeah sorry about posting about this in the food thread. I just saw you were suffering and wanted to try an help. I've 'cured' a lot of my friends that had long term food allergies with this advice. The doctors seem clueless or actively malicious when it comes to this subject. I guess there is no profit in curing a simple worm infestation with one of the cheapest and safest medicines known to man.

I am living with two of my sisters now and because they work and I don't I end up cooking tea all the time.

I made Pizza from scratch for the first time tonight but I had not used their oven before and I accidentally used the grill setting so the top pizza got burnt. But the second one turned out alright and the dough in both cases worked and was fine. So next time it should all go fine.

I'm running out of things to cook though, my repertoire isn't very big, hence why I made Pizza for the first time. I'll try making Lasagne and also Cannelloni at some point but I don't know if I will do that tomorrow. Probably not. I'll have to think of something else to make. Being a house wife is tough.

That sounds...awful. Have you tried eating small portions of it and attempting to build up a tolerance? You probably couldn't survive in America now considering how much corn syrup has been put into everything. I know someone that can't eat fast food at all because the bread is filled with that stuff along with who knows what else.

I think a lot of people with intolerance to a lot of food simply has worms. Might have said as much before can't remember. I was really surprised that I was suddenly able to eat ice cream and drink milk again after I dewormed. Been struggling with that for years and it was awful. Lots of stuff has milk or milk by-products in it without saying so on the label. I was intolerant to the simple sugar that was in milk so I avoided it for years. Now I drink the stuff everyday.

Got hongry for lasagne thanks to this thread and so I made some using lamb instead of beef since that's what I had in the fridge and oh man I think this might be the best lasagne I have ever made.

Kind of. It's this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_and_dumplings

Takes 2 days to make it because you have to cook the chicken in a pressure cooker. Then take the skin off and de-bone it. Then you take the stock produced by pressure cooking it and put it into a large pot. Then you make dumplings out of biscuit dough. Toss that into the chicken stock and add the chicken meat back in.

I find a lot of stuff is better when you replace beef with something else. I bet venison would make good lasagna. It has worked well in every other beef dish I've used it in. Usually I'll mix venison with beef half and half though since venison is kind of lean so the added fat from the beef helps add flavor to it.

Lamb is really good. I should eat it more often. I also like goat. It's really tasty.

You should try combining the two. My Great Grandmother made fried chicken by pressure cooking it before breading and frying it. It was so good and the meat/skin fell right off the bone. Been trying to replicate it for years but she kept her breading recipe a secret. I have her cook book but all the instructions are things like:
>half a handful of x
so getting the right amounts is frustrating

>>158517
I haven't tried kangaroo but I bet it's good. Is it like gator where they only sell the tail meat?

If you don't want to add beef you can get beef tallow from most butchers. It's rendered fat. Go ahead and get a bunch of it if you buy some. It's the best thing to deep fry potatoes and everything else in. It's why McDonald's french fries tasted so good back in the day. I won't use anything else in my fryer now that I've used it. I try to stay away from rape seed and veggie oils now because I've heard they're really bad for you. But I mostly avoid them because they don't taste nearly as good a beef tallow and olive oil.

Oh and usually when I cook game meat or more exotic stuff I don't tell people what it is when I serve it to them. When I cook gator most of the time I tell people it's chicken and they are clueless.

I couldn't get a straight answer from a quick search but it looks like they use at least the thighs in addition to the tail. I imagine they use everything they can but I wonder how much meat you can get off the upper body. I bet it isn't that much per animal. A quick search says it's very lean so sounds like the same situation you have with rabbit and deer meat. So adding some beef and/or beef tallow is probably a good idea unless you plan on slow cooking it.
>I never use vegetable oil

I finally got to try some Kangaroo, I have been cooking for my sisters most nights so it was difficult to find an opportunity. In the end I got some Kangaroo Burgers and just cooked my sister some beef ones.

It was quite lean, it 98% fat free, but you can get mince that lean I guess. Once I opened the packet it immediately smelt strange,
As for the taste, it wasn't bad. It was a lot like beef but just odd. The store sells Kangaroo Sausages, mince, steaks and fillets so I will try some more things with it but I don't know that I would buy the Kangaroo Burgers again. As I said, they are like beef hamburgers but just with an slight and indescribable odd taste to them, so there is no reason to not buy them but at the time there isn't a reason too buy them. Also they left an odd after taste in my mouth all night, even after my Cheesecake desert, not an overpowering or terrible aftertaste, just minor and odd.

I have been having trouble expanding my cooking repertoire in general though, I already made Lasagne and Pizza a second time because I ran out of ideas.

One of the issues I have is that I want to cook steak or fish but have trouble deciding on a good side to go with it, vegetables are just too boring and chips require deep frying. I might try mashed potato. I don't actually like it but I feel there could be potential to do something with it if I ass the right herbs and such to it.

You might have let it cook just a bit too long. Gator goes chewy really easily if you fry it in oil for just a bit too long.
>venison
Depends on the dish. If it's served a lone as a burger or something sure. It's so lean most anyone can tell if you don't add beef tallow to it. But usually when I serve venison alone I do something like tenderloin in gravy slow cooked. So it's really easy to pass it off as a cut of beef. Since the gravy and everything else I've tossed in gives it flavor. It's super easy to hide all types of game meat into stews. We once made a 120 gallon stew with venison, squirrel, rabbit, lamb, stew beef and a bunch of other stuff in it (turtle as well I think). No one was any wiser. Few people got angry when we told them how much game meat was in it. But they weren't paying for the food and beer so who cares, right?

I really miss waking up at 4am to start a large stew that'll be served 14+ hours later. No way I could afford to cook one these days. Just buying the veggies would cost me several hundred dollars.

It's kind of remarkable how little flavor ground turkey has, or maybe specifically the really lean kind. (7% fat).
I think I'm going to start buying this in bulk because it's a nice neutral flavor that can go in anything. You can even eat it as a snack by itself, although it really does lack flavor. I'd almost say it tastes like rubber if anything.

I treated myself. I bought some expensive (real!) ice cream which is so hard to come by now. Vanilla and Strawberry. Then I paid through the nose for real Coca-cola in 12oz glass bottles with real cane sugar and only 3 other things in it. Basically, what Coke was before the 80s. The real original formula and not that corn syrup+tons of other stuff crap.

Then I made a float/spider with the ice cream and coke. But instead of using one scoop of ice cream I used a cup and a half in a huge glass. Poured about 6oz of coke from the glass bottle after leaving it (and the glass I was pouring it in) in the freezer for a half hour. So everything was right on the verge of freezing.

Then I mixed well with a knife and after that I poured in another 3oz of Coca-cola to let it foam up a little. Then mixed well again.

It was so good. I'm addicted to these things. Which is why I don't make them very often anymore. Total sugar bomb but it tastes amazing. Love them more than milkshakes.

If getting real coke with sugar cane wasn't so expensive now I'm make them more often. I can't find 16oz glasses of it anymore either at the local stores that carry it. A 12oz glass of it is over $2 now. They stopped selling 6 packs of it too. Really need to see if I can buy at in bulk cheaper.

Highly recommended. My only issue is I can gulp them down in like 3-4 swigs. So they go really fast. At least I have about 2-3oz of coke left over after wards and the ice cream isn't too expensive.

Looking into making home made ice cream again too. I found an old ice cream maker last week still in its original box.

Yes! It's really easy to make and quite good, I definitely recommend giving it a try.

baking myself egg+fish fat sauce+rice+lentil batter granola crackers on a whim and out of necessity
I was going to add milk, but I actually had to add lentil instead. not very confident it won't be just crumble piles, it's not very flippable when it should be, and so I lowered the temp and added more time. the price for preferring to avoid cooking with any wheat (because of health, and wheat gives me bad food management and cooking technique habits)

it was flippable enough thanks to demarcation attempts beforehand during the initial spreading
but the layer is really thick, and so, still moist. moist and flippable is hopeful, and nothing that can't be fixed by evening it out again with physical pressure, and more low temp long time baking (probably)
no photos because I have cooking dysmorphia

I got some mushrooms and sour cream and tried making from-scratch stroganoff, for a change of pace. I'm not going to bother taking a picture since it looks like some kind of foulness on top of potatoes, but it tastes so good I had to stop myself from licking the pan clean.

I made smoked ham and yellow pea soup. Essentially just soaked peas and ham hock simmered on low heat for a few hours until the bone comes off and the peas turn mushy.
