Mince everything. Any greens you have, cucumber, tomatoes (no need to gut them), you can also get away with carrots. Preferably use parsley and maybe a bit of cilantro as your primary green. I've never used spinach, but spring mix or whatever is fine. Then because I can't get bulgur locally, I just use Quinoa. Toss it with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

It's a shit ton of prep work but you'll get a tub of the shit and you can eat it for a week (I've considered buying a food processor for this.. You can also binge eat it and you never feel sick afterwards. Don't mix in olives or pickled peppers, that will overpower it.

Fry up some spicy shrimp or chicken. Put a toasted pita bread on a plate, smear some greek yogurt on it, a full spoonfuls of taboulli, and then put the meat ontop. Serve with a side of saffron rice, hummus, pitted olives, and pomegranate juice.

It's a panty dropper bro.

Sauté some onion, put the bulgur with chicken broth (I like a ratio of 1.5 cups broth/water to 1 cup bulgur) & cook it like rice on the stove. Add parsley at the end for nice garnish

just treat it like farro or any other grain--steam it up with broth and serve it as a side dish. or toss it in a soup. it's nice. once cooked, you can do all kinds of stuff with it--throw it in a salad, a rice bowl, with some beans, whatever. it's nums.

No they just need a little more water and time to cook

Seaford. I left New England and live in the southwest, so I haven't had much seafood anyway. No loss

>>19731882
easy pick, seafood

>>19731882
Seafood without question, and it's not even close. I used to be amicable toward seafood, but after cooking it a handful of times about 5 years ago and suffering the agonizing day after where my entire apartment became filled with the repulsive smell of rotting death and decay I had such a visceral reaction of disgust to the smell of fish that I vowed to never cook it again.
This doesn't happen with any other meat. When I cook myself a steak, my entire kitchen smells fucking delicious all night and the next day.

oh look it's another thinly veiled (((anti beef))) thread

Living in asia they can't even cook that good here
A non-stick wok is basically goy tier though

The ice water is mainly to get them to stop cooking, but overcooked eggs are harder to peel, in my experience. It's more about peeling technique than anything else, though. Lightly crack the egg on the counter and roll it, cracking the peel as you roll it. Now, the top and bottom should basically separate like one of those Russian doll things.

what of the HeBE question

>>19733228
That's already been answered. Total hebe death

>>19731771
you should test another data point where you mix salt into the ice bath. lowers the freezing point

It's your choice, really

he's pretty mid, kinda like Barbato.
what he does is just decently made traditional italian cuisine. In the end he's no better than most old-time italian nonnas.
Mariola is better, even if I often struggle to stand his flaunted roman attitude.

They're celebrities.
You'll never eat anything they've ever prepared and you never will.

maybe in your flyover area its cheap..
BK prices went up here. Now its all pricey af and they changed the buns and they taste different.

>>19731935

everyone of those burgers has the meat hanging out past the buns! I've never got a whopper like that? WTF!

ten years ago I got high quality deli sandwiches in one of the most expensive counties in the US for those prices. I realize that's a boomer argument, but ten years for a 3x+ increase with lower portions and a higher chance of fuck-ups? why reward these places with business? that goes for any restaurant

>>19733090
I tell them I have Raynaud's syndrome and can't use a touch screen phone so need them to have a print out for me. Wouldn't want me to have to make an ADA complaint or note on Yelp that they're establishment refuses to serve disabled people.
I do actually have that issue, but it comes and goes. I can usually use touch screens just fine lmao

>>19733097
probably your fault

>>19731735
This is a distinctly American take. Food service in other countries is explicitly about the food. I hate it when chatty waiters want to talk to me. If I need more service I will flag you down.

>>19731745
Those people still exist but they can get better jobs now than server at some shitball restaurant.

>>19732198
>professional and courteous.
I don't need waitstaff to be chatty with me either but I can't remember the last time I actually had truly great, professional service. Even at some of the best restaurants in my city.

>>19731727

>>19731719
When I cook chicken in a pan, I stick a knife in it for a couple of seconds and then lick the blade too see if it’s done, if I burn my tongue then it’s ready

That's fortunate.
Do you know that a lot of the time that if you drive not wearing a seatbelt you'll be fine as well.
The point of these safety things is that over a large enough population and a long enough time doing the little things to make you more safe will help a lot.

>>19731719
The chances of getting ill from raw food is so fucking slim if you're not eating something your body clearly knows is completely wrong and will let you know with a DISGUSTING taste or texture. I get ill very infrequently and don't follow any of that shit, can happily eat slightly off or moldy or raw food as long as it doesn't smell or taste wrong (your body just knows)

Germ theory is a theory because it's never been proven (aka Fake)

Chicken is good for you

>>19731782
I actually had 2x dinners, believing it would suffice to keep my stomach happy. Two fish burgers and twice the side potato, but evidently it wasn't. I had it at 4 and thought I'd order food to the room if I got hungry by 8-9, but I didn't. I hate this so much

>>19731690
I don't think you can make the perfect meal better. Perhaps substituting the dried spices with the fresh stuff

it's just chicken wtf

>>19731690
It's one of the fattiest cuts of meat is why. Sorry to fart up the party but God made us this way.

>>19734755
it depends what you're into but in terms of New England, any state but CT and RI.

>>19734758
I would disagree; people are rarely motivated to write reviews unless they hate the place or are seriously impressed. that many reviews alone is rare for a restaurant but the fact the average is so high is a good sign. this is google reviews, not corrupt ¥elp

>>19731629
Okinawa taco rice is fucking good. I've never liked those hard shell tacos at all.

Something about that shit on short grain white rice is just magical.

>>19731583
Roast potatoes when you sleep in on a weekend is peak comfy.

>>19731729
I hope you know those tostadas aren't what normal people use for tacos (we use tortillas)

that looks tasty anon

>>19731559
Looks yummy. I want to see this more often. Oh and you’re awesome and probably have big pp.

It’s been a very long time since I’ve had good sloppa, thinking about making a stew.

>>19731684
Because it's shit, just like you're food. Faggot.

because they're paying for the convenience of drinking straight from the can instead of engaging in the hard labour of pouring one thing into anothing thing. paying for convenience is a massive thing in the food and drink industries, human laziness is a powerful force. it's their loss since hard seltzers taste like glorified paint thinner

It has a weird taste. I only use it for tinctures.

I wonder if there’s a me in the multiverse that’s a bum who drinks southern comfort instead of applejack? The curves on the logo are a little similar, hence the initial comparison. I’d like the US to be more regionalist, I don’t want to understand anything a Californian has to say unless I’ve studied it as a foreign language

>>19731531
The hangovers
I made a quick limoncello using everclear for a Christmas party. I calculated the abv to be 35-40% when done, but man, that stuff made me and a few others feel screwed up the next morning.
Best used sparingly

>>19731335
its the msg

Pantoprazole, omaeprazole, famotidine. These are some over the counter medications for acid reflux. If it's that bad you try getting some relief.

>>19732611
>>19731335
Acid reflux is more often caused by low acid compared to high acid. Easy test to find out which you have, take a teaspoon of baking soda and mix with a bit of water and drink. If you get no relief, odds are you have low acid content.

>>19731335
Try these

I ended up eating almost all of it anyways after it cooled off and woke up today with my throat feeling sore and a stuffy nose, I think it made me sick.

I take omaeprazole but will probably bring it up with my doctor next appointment

>In fact I support pushing fent and crystal meth on every street corner because it would cause a eugenic effect on the population. Only weak losers who don't deserve to continue their genetic line would turn to drugs and cut short their life.
This won't work because narcan exists. Junkies in Portland overdose on fentanyl every day but there's so much narcan that they keep getting brought back to life so they can overdose again.

I live in New England and you used to be able to get cheap lobster at the market for a few weeks every year. It's been probably 7 years since that was last true. It's over.

>>19732167
This is yet another of the hundreds of ways that China is a fucking parasite. They probably import more US lobster than what is kept domestically.

They also played politics with Australia by waiting for an entire ocean freighter full of Aussie lobsters to get to their shores and then announce they would be banning imports of Australian lobster.

this wrecked the livelihoods of all the lobster fishermen and basically ruined the industry here, plus China ramped up its lobster imports from N.America, dirt cheap of course, which drove domestic market prices way up. This bullshit cannot continue.

>>19732167
I dream about $4.99 lobsters boiled right there for you at star market. Take me back.

>>19731312
Grilled. Pull the tail meat out, stick it on a skewer, and grill it over charcoal. 100% best way to eat it.

If no grillz, then broil it like the cruise ships do, and get your clarified butter ready.

Under no circumstances should you boil or steam it. That shit sucks. Only if making bisque, and you need whole lobster for that.

>>19731405
My father lost two of his arms this way but in the end he lived a good life.

>I'd rather not enable the nips.
Two wasn't enough?
There's probably some locally made stuff in your area by some hipster, it's pretty fucking easy to make but takes a while if you want to do the proper ferment.
I've got a guy down the road who's brewing up barrels of the stuff to sell at farmers markets.

>>19732766
Get fuckin kikkoman then if you dont know what you want enough to even pick a country. It is respected and its fine.

>>19732765
I use the dark/thick stuff for cooking, maybe a dash of the light sauces, but generally they don't get any heat and go on afterwards as a condiment.

>>19732778
if you use dark soy sauce you need to water it down a bit with a cornstarch slurry, by itself, yeah its not a good addition and a bit overpowering

>>19732843
I just use it for colour on my noodre and rice. I mean, flavour too, but sparingly

>>19731240
They don't remove flouride. Distillation or reverse osmosis is the only way to remove flouride.

>>19731240
erm.... apparently this image says they aren't worth it!!

>>19733272
Been using an 18 cup Brita tank in the fridge for a few years. Instead of using .999 silver I used a few coils of new bare copper wire as an anti-microbial along with a mesh pouch of white calcium sulfite balls to further remove chlorine.

The brita filters are rated for some 40-60 gallons but I go through water fast and get about 7-8 months out of them before I start seeing cloudy tank water and replacing the filter. It's around $17 for 3 filters lasting 21-24 months.

The water doesn't have any taste or any smell from the brita tank and it beats hauling gallons of water home every few weeks.
