For whatever reason, bloggers have always used /qa/ even though these questions aren't really in line with the descriptions we always give of what the board is for. The problems of taking your name from a historical legacy rather than a description of its current state.

Yeah, but thankfully paprika is just a red powder you can fit on a shelf. I really like smoked Paprika and wish I could add it to everything, but alas it doesn't actually go with everything. People speak highly of Hungarian Paprika and it's apparently a major export of theirs.

I'm impressed at the size of japanese katsu curry rice I just ate from the vendor next to my house.
I thought it's gonna typical restaurant size which is like $20 for half a bowl but damn, this is twice that size + thick and creamy curry, all for $18.
I need to lay down after finishing that.

 No.152361

>>152357
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 like oranges, but I hate scraping off the pith. The bitterness gets in the way of my fruity citrus blast. Does anyone else scrape their oranges clean or do you just eat them once the peels off?

 No.152949

I saw a trick on Tastemade Japan a long time ago but cannot find the video now. It was for mandarins, but from you place them in boiling water, followed by a into an ice bath, then the pith will more or less fall off.

Probably doesn't count as cooking, but I made boxed macaroni and cheese and replaced a third of the noodles with quinoa and added peas. Noodles and quinoa at the same time is kind of weird in your mouth, but I guess it's not too bad.

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.

Does anyone here have much experience making Mexican food? I kind of want to get into it since it's tasty and you can make it kind of healthy with lots of beans and rice and stuff. (although I'd probably substitute rice for quinoa). It's also fairly cheap.

I have an interesting idea to peel a sausage sideways so I could plate it beautifully, like I've seen a michelin star dish have what appeared to be a bed of cucumber slices forming a mandala. But then again I eat straight from the pan while it's hot and I'm not cooking to impress anybody and standing in the kitchen frankly is a chore. Maybe next time.

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. The last three came in a bag together so that might be something I start keeping in stock, just a bunch of tiny health seeds to add to stuff.

Granola mix is good. I like to use oats and raisins for cereal, and with milk it turns all chewy. The jaw workout is phenomenal.

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 made a Thai/Lao-inspired stir fry with ground beef and chicken and summer cabbage, flavoured it with fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy, and lime juice, and a ton of garlic and chillis. It turned out okay, maybe a bit too heavy on the lime juice.

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 think I made it like every 2 weeks I guess.
