>I'm very new to cooking..

It's like summer is just shitposting the night away.

Greek Peasant Salad
1lb Cucumbers (4 “Kirby” cucumbers)
2tbsp fresh lemon juice
1tbsp olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds ripe red and/or yellow tomatoes (about 6 med size), cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/3 cup kalamata olives, pitted nd coarsely chopped
¼ cup loosely packed fresh dill, chopped
2 ounces feta cheese (crumbled)
With vegetable peeler, remove 3 or 4 evenly spaced lengthwise strips of peel from each cucumber. Cut each cucumber lengthwise into quarters, then crosswise into ½ inch pieces.
In large bowl, with wire whisk or fork, mix lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper until blended. Add cucumbers, tomatoes, mint, olives and dill, and toss until evenly mixed and coated with dressing. Top with feta.

If you need to make substitutions (because I don't know where you are in the world), let me know and I'll help you work it out. This is a really easy salad. If you'd like something a little more substantial, I've got more that we like.

What kind of fresh vegetables (supermarket shouldn't count since they don't have to be in season to be sold there) do you have access to?

My wife is vegetarian, so I have a pretty good number of vegetarian recipes in my head.

What sort of food do you like? I'll help you google recipes because I'm bored, or share recipes I've used if our food tastes meet anywhere.

Pic is what I just had - random stuff salad.

I live in a small community with lots of farms and hunters. I don't understand the troll here, but maybe that's the point.

Will post pics tomorrow.

>>3719283
Pretty much.

>>3719206

What do you mean?

>>3719183

Oh?

This picture looks exactly like me at age 10. I had to look at it really hard to make sure it wasn't me somehow.

>Were you a fat kid? Did you know or have one?
Yes. I was not friends with any other fat kids, and I haven't had my own yet.
>How did you/they get that way?
Binge eating disorder. Got worse as I got older because of depression.
>How did you fix the issue?
Short-term intensive therapy, finding value in myself and my doctor telling me I wouldn't live past 30.

Highest weight was somewhere between 520-530. Lowest adult weight has been 175 (really ill), and I look relatively normal around 200 (my current weight). Pic related.

Italian nose. I call her Jewnose affectionately. Good catch.

>>3718895
Maybe. I'll be picking up 3 dozen duck eggs.

>>3718933
I did that when I proposed. I cook her favorite dish(es) regularly. Thanks, though.

>>3718945
I try to eat only locally sourced meats. No salmon here. :/ Thanks, though.

Will deliver pics of meal tomorrow, and if I can get over the anxiety of it, I'll do an instructable.

Not interested so far. Thanks, though. Going out for a while. Keep at it.

Tomorrow's our 1 year wedding anniversary, and we're going to be busy all day with my great grandma (we're celebrating her 96th birthday tomorrow). We're going to the farmer's market in the morning. What should I cook for our 1 year anniversary breakfast? Trolls appreciated.

2-3 years ago.*

>>3718691

I definitely had it saved around 3-4 years ago, and probably had it saved on my older HDD before that, so he wouldn't know what kind of camera.

>>3716726

I wish anyone else got this.

>>3716631

My vegetarian girlfriend watched me kill myself with fast food and all that shit until 4 years ago. We got married a year ago this Saturday and we're both happy now. Don't give up on the fatty!

I recently had some unpasteurized goat milk... it was pretty awesome. Tasted a little like soy, and a lot like cream/buttery. I'd recommend it if you can find a legit source!

Thanks man, just glad someone from the other thread saw this. Really only posted to say thanks, and that I'm going to keep doing it. I asked her if it was something she would pay for on a regular basis and she said yes, so I must have done a good job.

Mostly I taught about nutrition. She wanted to experiment more than learn to cook. I let her do most of the cooking, trying to teach her knife technique, and used recipes that I have learned along the way.

Looks like marshmallows.

>>3708986

But the plates don't bother me. You should buy me new ones.

>>3708929

Buy them for me.

Hey, /ck/. Just did my first cooking demonstration. I made ratatouille with zucchini cakes (fritters) with a high protein cottage cheese/parmesan sauce. High protein, high fiber, good carbs for energy. Just wanted to say thank you again for the confidence.

I told the girl just to advertise for me and that could be payment enough, and she said she definitely would advertise on all her social media accounts, but she insisted I take $20, too.

The vegetables don't look done in this picture, but they were.

Thanks again. <3

So you cut up an onion, and you have the leftover bits... you just throw it into a bag in the freezer and go about your way until you start the stock?
