>What food traditions/things you like to do during this time of the year?
Buy and dumpster dive for cheap candy in the days after Halloween
>tonight I’m home bound and depressed and unable to go clubbing.
What's got you down, OP

I watch Beetle Juice while eating the bag of candy I bought for the non-existent trick-or-treaters.

I've always worked Halloweens so I don't have any traditions beyond drinking. This year I am home bound and loving it.
I will make packet noodles and art in my chair.

>>18528888
comfy and quads? you've got it all

>>18528911
Thanks for the photo. Now I'll always have more than I need. What do I call you, generous one?

>>18528911
>you've got it all
Well, I don't have a job, which is arguably more important lol

>>18528925
Ofc anon
Have any halloween plans?

>>18528789
Don't usually celebrate Halloween because I've never been a fan. But was laid up all summer with a stomach infection and missed every fun food/alcohol event. So i went to the bars Saturday for Halloween but tonight it's bourbon and spooky movies

>>18529089
Wot and eating sourdough toast I bought today. It's hella nice.

You?

>>18528789
It's nice seeing Kei and Yuri so happy.
Really is a shame they aren't gay for each other.
Anyway, Halloween is about fuckin' candy m8.

>>18529223
Feeling like a fatass, so I'm gonna try to deep fry a bar of white chocolate. Hopefully it doesn't become a gooey mess while submerged in the oil. Did you get any trick or treaters yet?

>>18529248
Maybe deepfry some pickles, fries, and get some toast too. I highly recommend it.

And I live in a 6 unit apartment. The chud family upstairs had their shot together and gave out the 'dy

>>18529276
>The chud family upstairs had their shot together and gave out the 'dy

>>18529223
god damn those are some shit gamer tags, what happened to good tags like UppityFieldHand or NotSober

>>18529345
I don't think they ever stopped making watchamacallit, but whozeewhatzit is a variation on the original.

>>18529314
I don't get it
Anyway, if I say I meant shit and not shot, does that change things?

>>18528836
>dumpster dive for cheap candy
Looking forward to the thread made by someone else. Larper.

>>18529448
You said chud family, so I posted the meme with chudjak's family, sorry if the meme's text threw you off
Ended up frying some oreos along with the white chocolate.
>>18529448
What do you mean? Do you think I'm larping as 18500918 or something?

>>18529475
Why can I still buy it at Walmart then, dude?

>>18529496
>>18500918

>>18529496
Oh, I thought chuds were pic rel. No problem sir.

Anyway, are you gonna eat all that? If so, doesn't it make your limbs feel numb? How was your Monday?

>>18529553
I got too cocky...
Ate the white chocolate (along with 3 other pieces that weren't in the pic) and one of the oreos before I had to stop. It's delicious but stupidly rich. Didn't feel numb but drank a bunch of water.
>How was your Monday?
It was pretty solid, thanks for asking. Looking forward to tomorrow and all the sales on Halloween candy. What about you?

>>18528789
nothing super specific, will usually just grab some apple cider

>>18529619
That's good you can stop within having to finish what's on your plate. For example, no matter how many noodle I boil, I eat them all.
>all the sales on Halloween candy
What stores will you hit? Thinking of getting anything specific? I'll be living vicariously cus every time I eat candy I get cysts in my nose. I might still say fuck in and get some coffee crisp because they are incredible.

>>18529806
Sour candy man, I'm a fiend for it. Love me some Warheads, Sour Punch, and Toxic Waste. Gonna go to Walmart, Dollar Tree, and Aldi's
>I get cysts in my nose
This breaks my heart, no candy at all? How long has that happened? Did it kick in at birth?

Dollar Tree has sales, or is this just a regular haul? I'm Canadian so unfortunately I have never visited an Aldi.
>>18529822
>This breaks my heart
It's been happening since highschool. I just know if I eat like a clean vegetarian and don't sweat, my acne troubles go away.
T*fu sandwich before beddy boo

>>18529843
>Dollar Tree has sales, or is this just a regular haul?
Yeah, although since everything is already $1.25, it can't go much lower. There's these Halloween sour straws I'm hoping to get a little cheaper
Aldi's is this discount supermarket chain, it's great for getting certain things cheap like meat and produce. The brands they have there are also cheeky as fuck with their designs
>T*fu sandwich before beddy boo
Thanks for talking with me, man.
Have some sweet dreams

>>18528836
I like the idea of just eating a lot of sweet stuff around now and I’ve bought myself a lot of (the now discounted) Halloween sweets this morning,
>what’s got you down
No gf and no money despite having a good job. Also drinking when depressed

>>18528837
I want to watch beetlejuice too now. Shame I have work soon
>>18528888
I really like the comfy feeling of this post, anon and i hope you had fun

>>18529806
that middle cookie is kinda sus

It hasn't been the best Halloween tbhw but at least I was able to hang one really cool decoration so I'm drinking and I'm drinking imperial stout spiked with vodka. I've eaten very little and just want to sleep. I've got some cleaning to do and I'm not going to bed until I've had my mask on, worked hard on this fucker.

>>18530124
>I've got some cleaning to do and I'm not going to bed until I've had my mask on, worked hard on this fucker.
Can we see a pic of this mask?

>>18529870
>Thanks for talking with me, man.
Yeah, it's nice talking about some simple topics with 0 stakes riding on the conversation. Usually it's trying to get into woman's radar, being judged by acquaintances for saying things I like, getting requirements from colleagues, or fixing mistakes. How are things with you?

Also, what the fuck MillVille. This is some serious delirium you're imposing on people. Crispy Oats is catching my eye. Some banana and vanilla oat milk by Silk. Yum

>>18530913
I second this. We now need to see it

>>18531144
Things are monotonous. Wake up, work, go home. Got the candy hunt to look forward to, though.
How's your Tuesday going? Make any interesting meals today?

>>18531665
Should take a road trip to Canada or Mexico, which ever is closest and try some new candies. Ordering online is an option too of you don't wanna leave home.

I only had pic rel so far and some peppermint tea. I said fuck it and didn't bother setting an alarm to wake me up today. Got out of bed at 12 and started work.

>>18532096
I've always wanted to use tofu more often, but dunno any interesting dishes other than chopping it up in rice. Have any suggestions?
Also, update on cheap candy: Walmart only had donut and cookie mixes, funfetti candy corn, and cereal left. Aldi's only had decorations and fruit strips, and Dollar Tree threw everything out.

>>18532980
I usually just do similar things like that.
>pan w butter
>in goes tofu
>garlic salt
>soy sauce
>tomatoes
>egg
>sesame seed mix
Look up tomato egg stir fry. It's an amazing chinese dish. Add tofu into that if you'd like. Dead simple and healthy.

Oh what? They just tossed everything? I went to SuperStore today and their halloween shelves were empty too. But I suspect they sold everything cus they had $8 off $19 boxes of candy

>>18533579
I'll try that for sure, thanks for the recommendation!
>They just tossed everything?
Yeah, man. I asked the cashier if they got rid of all the Halloween stuff and he said yes. It's only Christmas stuff now

>>18530913
>>18531319
Sure. No masterpiece but I like wearing it.

>>18533745
That looks sick, man
Did you make a costume to go with the mask?

>>18533766
It was an Army of Two reference, and I made it to piss off my brother who hated the subtle joke about raping a panda. So I have a plate carrier. Hopefully everyone has good boots, jeans or whatever, etc. Maybe throw on some shooting gloves.

>>18530070
>No gf
oh boo fucking hoo

>>18533579
Did you end up grabbing those coffee crisps from the store?

>>18534769
I only had 15min in SS before because I was busy programming last night. Next time.


>>18533679
How's the Wednesday going?

>>18534238
Try going from a happy life with a gf to no gf and being alone. You feel life so differently. You understand why people with families and friends live longer

>>18534822
It's alright so far, gonna try Target after work to find some candy. How's yours going?

>>18534966
I haven't left bed yet except to check work emails. I'm considering having coffee today. Crohn's has been bothering my stomach lately, but I think it's the pure wheat crackers causing upset.

>>18534986
>he works from home
You can't fathom how jealous I am
Is the work interesting?

>>18535099
It's max comfy. I told myself I'd go into the office last week to expose myself to some socializing. The day came and I was like fuck organizing parking, fuck packing lunch, and fuck sitting in a room with no windows haha So yeah, it's too bad we can't all do it.

>>18535099
The work is interesting enough, it's tech after all.
What industry are you in?

>>18535135
IT Auditing. You audit a company's policies and stuff to make sure they're following protocol.
Without revealing too much, are you guys working on a cool project?

>>18535349
Do you enjoy it? Why can't you work remotely when you are not doing in person audits?

I mostly fetch data for people when they need it. Lots of SQL and Python scripts. I work on personal projects a lot lately cus I'm not too busy. My colleagues also seem desperate for work. They will figuratively jump on or take away any tasks from you that involves the opportunity to code. It's weird

>>18535495

>>18535495
The work's fine, lots of reports to do though.
>Why can't you work remotely when you are not doing in person audits?
Current company insists I have to come in.
>Lots of SQL and Python scripts.
Weird question but have you ever played around with turtle on Python?

>>18535675
Does it require a full 6+ hours of your brain being engaged?
>turtle on Python
I've always stuck to Processing.py for messing around with generative art

Since this is a cooking board, I'll briefly mention this is my second day with only have a cup of coffee. I whittled down to this from 2 cups/day. Feels good coffee quitter bros

>>18534238
This >>18534827 is actually how I’ve been feeling and it’s a genuinely depressing feeling. Once you’ve had that feeling you feel incomplete without a gf

>>18529238
>Halloween is about candy
Damn right it is. I don’t give a shit about much else. Except for sluts in sluttier costumes. And duck apple

>>18535973
Nah, not that long. It's a lot of reading, but also a lot of you emailing people to give you a document to use as evidence the company is following the rules.
Found this little guy on the side of the road. Think I should cook him up?

>>18536535
Reptiles are so gross eeewwwwww

>>18536203
Bf too. It’s like I lost my best friend.

>>18535973
>Feels good coffee quitter bros
Glad to see you've turned away from the false god coffee. Now you can embrace the one true king, pic related

>>18537080
>drinking from a can
Holy fucking shit

Dad used to order pizza for the family every Halloween. Haven't had pizza for Halloween since he died almost 10 years ago. Still feels bad.

>>18537196
What kind of pizza did he order? Something normal like cheese or pepperoni, or something Halloween themed?

>>18537212
>or something Halloween themed?
im intrigued as to what that would be

>>18536535
You didn't hit that, did you?

Would you actually? My dad hit some pheasants once in the canadian prairies and we ate it for supper. I remember it being insanely good

Anything's it's Thursday and we kept this thread up. Pretty fun.

The heat of the cooked AP flour cooks the egg

>>18537493
Nah, I didn't hit it. Was out walking and happened on the body. Already had flies buzzing around it though so it was a no go.
>Anything's it's Thursday and we kept this thread up. Pretty fun.
Yeah man, it's great to talk to someone. But time flies. What did you cook for dinner? I just made spaghetti and added chicken boullion

>>18537629
You add the bullion as a topping? Or add it to the water when boiling the noodles?

For me, it's these wrap things. I mix flour and water and cook them on a pan like a big pancake. Then add egg, seasoning and spinach

>>18537650
And for drink I am having peppermint tea and pic rel. Don't ever try this. It's addicting as fuck

>>18537680
Not sure they have this in the US where you are. Florida?

>>18537650
Yeah, I added it to the water while it boiled
>>18537682
Nah, we don't get Silk Oat Milk. Curious about the taste. Is it like liquified oatmeal?
>Florida?
Kek you got it
Did the gator give it away?

>>18528789
Now that Halloween is over, what's your favorite Christmas food?

>>18537724
>Yeah, I added it to the water while it boiled
I've never done that before unless I was making soup. I might try it.

>Curious about the taste. Is it like liquified oatmeal?
It's thick and smooth like an egg nog, but not as thick and less sugary. Perfect for coffee and tea.

>the gator
Yep, exactly lol

What time do you usually sleep? You're always up late

>>18537736
Sugar Cookies, nothing but sugar cookies
This isn't a food, but I also like making my own white hot chocolate

>>18537769
Varies, but usually ~1-2 AM. I struggle to fall asleep, so I usually just hang around on here or try to make progress on this story I'm writing until my eyes feel heavy

>>18537797
Goodnight sir 07

>>18537846
You too, man o7

>>18537846
How's the Thursday going? Since you're a vegetarian, how do you go about making Thanksgiving dinner?

>>18539071
Pretty good. Kinda pissed off at the jannies though, as per usual.

I made a bird, then had a bad stomach for a few days afterwards. My stomach for some reason hates meat. It's probably related to Crohn's disease cus I could eat meat before it became prevalent 2 year ago. Other than that, I'd make stuffing, red cabbage, potatoes, sweet potatoes, buns, egg and tomatoes stir fry, and salad to avoid meat.

I can't believe American Thanksgiving is so close to xmas. You have any plans for it?

>>18539540
Instead of turkey, gonna try roasting a duck. Heard it's really fatty, so it'll be fun trying to find a use for it all.
>It's probably related to Crohn's disease
Aw man. Is there any way out of that? How does your stomach do with seafood?

>>18539540
Oh and also that's ridiculous you got banned for a post like that

>>18539864
>>18539968
Sea food is no problem at all, so I get to enjoy sushi and stuff. Pretty happy about that.

Duck is pretty decent. It's cool you already decided what you'll have 4 weeks in advance haha

From a foodie perspective, is Florida worth visiting? What are your favorite dishes there?

>>18540013
>is Florida worth visiting?
Orlando has the most restaurants per capita in America

>>18540013
>From a foodie perspective, is Florida worth visiting?
Honestly, I don't live in the most exciting part of Florida. It's mostly Indian restaurants, but there are places to go for some unique food. Went to this joint designed like a carnival where they sold these giant deep fried turkey legs. Then there's an Indo-Chinese restaurant that sells Indian and Chinese food. Plus they sell these Indian pizzas, but they're awful. It's too doughy and the sauce is way too thin.
How about Canada? Are there any interesting food spots around you?

>>18539540
I mean, it was essentially a fast food thread, why not ask on /o/.
>>18540013
This is just the equivalent of a shitty /v/ thread, even some frogposters put more effort into the OP.

>>18540013
Oh yeah, and my favorite meal here isn't really a Florida exclusive thing, but it's biryani rice with fish curry

Pic rel is bowl #3

>>18540134
>deep fried
i want to try one of those deep fried oreos you made. What kind of pil do you use? You just plop em in for a minute?

>How about Canada? Are there any interesting food spots around you?
I mostly eat asian food when I go out desu. It fits with my tastes and my Crohn's inflicted stomach. Mom and family would could great german stuff growing up - rouladen, german potato dumplings, cucumber salad, cabbage rolls. If we went out to eat as a family it would be McDonald's or something haha my mom isn't big into fine dining so I didn't pick up the habit either really. Although I haven't touch mcdonalds in 4 years.

>>18540716
Fish curry? Link?

>>18541141
>What kind of pil do you use?
I just use store brand vegetable oil. The batter's flour, milk, and an egg. And yeah it takes a minute for both sides of the oreo to be a golden brown.
I know you got a good meal plan, but what's your go to dessert when you do have some?
>Fish curry? Link?
I don't make it, I just frequent this one indian restaurant. It's inside a gas station, but the food is delicious.

>>18541336
>go to dessert
That Silk milk keeps me pretty satiated. And apple or two usually for something sweet. I specifically don't by candy or cookies cus I will just finish it in a day like a baguette, so instead I allow myself more food while having my meals. But once in a while I'll go get some vegan ice cream at a shop in town it's hella good. Pic rel is strawberry and mint chocolate

Seems like food gets you out of the house a lot. The candy hunting, restaurants, etc. What else do you do? Seems like florida would be a great place to live cus it's always warm? Also, do reptiles freak you out? Are they a common hazard?

>>18541438
I like bike riding. I live near a forest trail, so that's great for night walks as well.
>Seems like florida would be a great place to live cus it's always warm?
It's a double edged sword. The weather's almost always nice, but there are days where if you go outside for a walk, you come back covered in sweat. I moved down here a year ago from Massachusetts and honestly miss snow. Fresh snowfall was nice to look at. Y'know, until you had to shovel it to get outside.
Reptiles are cool, and they're not really a problem. Unless you go after then, they just wander around in the wild. What about you, what hobbies do you have?

>>18528789
Today was treated like thanksgiving for my family for complicated reasons so i made a beef tenderloin with garlic butter and a cranberry-red wine sauce. It turned out fucking good which is good because the meat cost almost a hundred bucks. Really that's the most "dangerous" meal I ever cooked. I feel like i leveled up bros.

>>18541627
Good work, anon, that sounds delicious
Did the meal help out with the complicated situation?

>>18541693
No it wasnt a bad complicated situation. But it helped with the getting along. I made a simple salad and sweet potato casserole too and my sister made some other sides. It ruled basically.

>>18541700
>sweet potato casserole
With the marshmallows and everything?
I gotta know what you do for Christmas dinner

>>18541438
>florida would be a great place to live cus it's always warm?
warm..NO, its November and still mid 90s f
>Are they a common hazard?
not as bad as mosquitos and spiders but there are coral sneaks, water moccasins, snapping turtles and gators all over the place

>>18541587
Damn, you seem brave for going into the florida woods knowing all those gross reptiles are brooding. Gives me shivers.

>what hobbies do you have?
4chan, 5k walks every other day, gym, guitar, programming, reading history, etc. Always have some solitary activities to do.

What you eating today?

>>18542262
That's terrifying. Let's not talk about reptiles anymore. Are the people friendly? Are you happy to be American? Honestly seems pretty comfy. You have a lot of opportunities to live anywhere, pursue any career, can trust your comrades (Americans in the south don't seem very unlike bug men).

What are you eating today?

>>18542316
Aw man, you really don't like reptiles? Is there a story behind it? Also, what's your favorite animal?
>What you eating today?
Kept it simple this morning, just a bowl of instant grits
You?

>>18529276
Only trannies use that word

>>18529553
That's a libshit söycuck sjw.
"Chud" is what libshits call everyone else.

>>18542316
>Are the people friendly?
In FL the people aren't back stabbers, you'll know if they don't like you. Other then that people mostly keep to them selves aside from occasional small talk when you're trapped in a slow line at the grocery store.

i had some cinnamon coffee and I'm making pizza for dinner, thinking about grabbing some homemade chicken broth out of the freezer for a light snake to tie me over til then

>>18539540
>>18540013
The tranny jannies get worse every day

>>18542316
>What are you eating today?
didn't have any chicken broth so a grabbed a veggie broth, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion and garlic +a bunch of dried herbs and made a vegetable soup real quick

>>18542422
>>18542661
Fuck bro, I lost my appetite. Went to buy pic rel finally after waiting all week to enjoy it and I saw some old ugly fat woman abusing some 6yo boy in the parking lot. Was too much of a coward to BTFO her and called the cops instead. Well, they left, I left, and I got a call back from police 10mins later. Fuck. Don't let devil incarnates get away with their evil shit. I have profound regrets now.

>>18537486
Yeah in hindsight, I realized how hard it would be to put a halloween theme on ordered pizza

>>18541799
Not with marshmallows but yea it was "dessert style" aka pecans and a shitload of butter and sugar. Not what i would make for myself but what can i say its popular. And yea it was more of a christmas main dish but fuck turkey dude and no one wanted duck either. For christmas ham is the usual but this year idk.

>>18543054
at least you tried something

>>18543071
>halloween theme on ordered pizza
on a order pizza not unless they offered it but it can be done

>>18543054
Don't beat yourself up, at least you won't have a 'what if' moment lingering on your conscience
Happy Friday, got any weekend plans?

>>18542419
>söy
There's no wordfilter here, tourist.

>>18544085
I kneel, halloween pizza is possible
