didn't take a picture, but mixed greens salad with toasted pecan, grilled pork, sliced pears and a sherry vinegar dressing.

>>5676590
Is that horchata?

>>5676590
Did you take a picture of your finished shitty onion soup?

>>5676631
ice milk

>>5676643
I already finished it a long time ago

>>5676643
it wasn't brown like chef john but it was good

>>5676590
Had some grilled flap steak, sauteed long beans with garlic, and roasted brussels sprouts. Was good.

Homemade gnocchi w/ spicy tomato sauce & herbs

>ice milk

Whole deep fried flounder with sticky rice, topped with fresh shallots, red chilli, cilantro and parsley and a sauce of fresh ginger, garlic, shallots, soy, palm sugar and rice wine

Now to steam clean my walls

>>5677756
Looks great.

epic as fuck right here

>>5676590
cooked lamb for the first time last night
had oven roasted red potatoes
spring mix with grape tomatoes

not sure if i got the lamb right... i marinated it for an hr with olive oil, thyme, salt/pepper, and fresh garlic. let it sit at room temp for 20 mins and cooked it in rosemary-infused butter. these were pretty small, so i did 7 mins on each side. it came out soft but chewy? it was cooked all the way. is that normal? it was good either way... the texture was just off putting.

>>5678075
Unless I'm braising or slow roasting it, I cook lamb medium rare to medium. Sounds like you overcooked it.

>>5676590
Did you add frozen water to your glass of milk?

>>5678075

That looks extremely fatty / gristley.

I don't have a lot of good luck with lamb and I'm not that big on how it tastes but slower cooking in the oven may be a better choice.

alright /ck/

do i order a pizza, get a sandwich, or make sushi?

>>5678753
please respond. i require that strangers on the internet make decisions for me

>>5676658
>puts ice in milk

>>5678770
Make food you lazy bum.

>>5678753
make sushi nao 4 waifu

>>5678753
If those were my options, I would make sushi. I have a good time making sushi, though

Getting Taco Bell delivered to me. It's my weekend guilt meal.
Beefy 5 Layer Burrito
large Baja Blast
regular nachos
verde sauce

>>5678837
im just waiting for the rice to cool

rate me /ck/

>>5678857
i get burger king delivery here in brooklyn, but wheres the t-bell?

why do I keep making the mistake of thinking "yeah I should do a juice cleanse. good idea" every couple of months
I'm starving and I can't wait to start eating normal food again tomorrow jesus

>>5678961
oh man
now i want prune juice

what's a juice cleanse?

>>5678947

kimbap? Looks tasty, would demolish/10

>>5678963

it's where you consume but juice for no reason because you've never taken a physiology course and you believe that doing so will clean the "toxins" out of your body because you don't know how the liver or kidneys function

>>5678947
not a big kimbap person but looks decent

>>5678974
>>5678968
>people know what gimbap is

thank god i thought I was going to have to keep calling it sushi

>>5678947
nice. is it completely vegetarian? can't really tell what the white stuff is

>>5678963
ah just your basic detox thing, drinking only juices for a couple of days. Prune and carrot juice work best for me cause the prune juice works as a laxative at the same time.

>>5678977

I grew up in the silicon valley and had tons of korean friends. Unlike my parents their parents actually made delicious food, so I grew up eating it.

>>5678978

It's tofu. That kimbap looks vegetarian although I've had it with bulgogi in it.

>detox

naturalnews please go

>>5678978
so it's a starvation diet + fixing vitamin deficiency after eating only burgers and soda?

and yeah, it's egg, carrot,pickled radish, and spinach. time consuming but filling and cheap
so i guess it's vegetarian

>>5678988
Sounds better now that I know it's egg and not tofu. I don't hate tofu by any means but it's off-putting in gimbap.

>>5678993
i dont eat tofu. it just doesn't have a place in my diet

>>5678951
Oh no, it's just a friend of mine bringing it to me. Major chains don't deliver here in SoCal. I fucking wish.

>>5679005
https://bkdelivers.com

Yeah, they do but it's only a few places.

>>5679051
>BK does not deliver to your address

>>5679005
a friend bringing you t-bell? what's the catch? BJ for TB?

>>5676590
my drunk fiancee would eat that, but i wouldnt

>>5679403
sounds like she has good taste

>>5679224
She's just nice. I hurt my leg skateboarding recently so she comes over sometimes and cooks or brings me junk and we a vidya.

I'm making lentils and have a lot of spinach

so I guess spinach and lentil salad. any ideas to make it a little more fun? dressing?

Pork schnitzel topped with spaetzle and brown gravy
is gud

>>5679442
basamic dressing? I dunno since never had lentils outside of a soup

>dad buys pork chops at the store
>"I'm gonna cook them, you undercook pork and we're all going to get trichinosis"
>cuts them all in half so they're thinner
>dad cooks pork chops for a good half hour on high heat in a skillet


This is the driest meat I have ever consumed, /ck/. There's at least six of these terrible chops left.

Is there anything I can do to salvage the leftovers and make something that isn't like a mouthful of pork flavored straw?

>>5679454
add them to a soup or shred them up as best you can and mix with bbq sauce to make sandwiches

>>5679454
Marinade them in something vinegar-rich?

>>5679451
yes, probably balsamic vinegar, olive oil and grated provolone. I meant as in any more "exotic" spice

lentils are incredibly versatile and nutritious. I ieat like 150 grams every day

>>5679409
judging by your addiction-riddled trip, yeahokay

besides, she is with me, so she obviously has good taste

>>5679454
lol baby boomers

>>5678075
Definitely overcooked the lamb a bit from the sounds of it.
If you're not too confident just start with chump chops, forget the seasoning and just cook that bitch for roughly 3 minutes on a medium-high heat each side.
It's much easier to overcook and send tough than beef. So yeah, my only input would be to play around in the kitchen and get to know your meat.

> implying most of 4chan isn't already playing with their meat

turkey burgers with tomato, guacamole, pepper jack
fresh baked potato chips with feta, garlic, black pepper, kosher salt, paprika

My first time barbecuing.

>sirloin cooked medium rare
>sweet potatoes and mushrooms cooked until they're soft with a slight sear on them
>chicken slices finished in sweet chili sauce

>>5679749
shit forgot pic

>>5676658
>>5676661
Have you never had french onion soup before?
Your soup looks like shit. Looks like raw onions.

My dinner was fried fish and broccoli. Sorry for the blurry pic.

>>5679778
>saving that pic just to insult a tripfag
I saw that thread too, but seriously, get a life, dude.

>>5676590
Making philly cheese steak pockets tonight with my family. Also chocolate cake, since its a birthday

>>5681433
That is home made pockets, not like hot pockets

>>5679778
they were taking too long to brown

>>5681464
how do you make the pocket?

>>5683141
You can always help the caramelization: add a few pinches of sugar to the onions. Don't use too much though.

>>5683177
I should have thought of that

the soup want' that bad though, but it wasn't great either

>>5677756
Magnificent.

I haven't eaten all day because I have no motivation to make food so I finally made some broccoli rice pilaf with pine nuts and grated parmesan. Goodbye gains.

>>5679445
ist gut, ja

>>5679454
Oh shit... "cook it till it's shoe leather." Blech.

>>5683186
part of the fun of cooking... you make stuff, you figure out better ways of doing it each time. Glad it turned out okay anyhow. Hate to put a bunch of time into something and have to toss it.

>>5683215
the thing is I made this soup before and the onions browned up nice

I was in a hurry or something and they were just simmering there for like an hour so I just dumped in the broth and said fuck it

>>5676590

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSf2EiPkZoo

>>5683229
yo, I made some dank onion soup with white and red onions caramelized in some Guinness (all I could get) and some chunks of steak. Try that sometime. It's good.

>>5679457
>>5679454

This was going to be my suggestion. Or dry them further to turn them into dog treats..

No pic, but I made a little casserole with leftovers - leftover baked potatoes (mashed up) mixed with canned salmon, sauteed onions, sour cream, dill, parsley, a little butter, and some minced jalapeno, baked till golden brown on top. Not bad for a mishmash of crap, tasted good.

couple of fat ass pork ribs, some mash and a easy cucumber salad

for desert I had a bit of flan

>>5678988

> fixing vitamin deficiency

By reducing your eatings to one or two fruit juices?

Yeah no.

Salad I made for tea with some breadcrumb calamari and tempura and lemon pepper whiting fillets.
Will post pics once they're done.

so nobody else is going to eat dinner this week?

>>5685973

I had
>freshly made crusty "french"-style bread
>t-bone steak slathered with salt and cracked pepper, then seared
>spinach
>goat cheese
>head cheese
Made a few small sandwiches. No pictures, sadly, but it was great. I haven't had steak in way too long.

>>5685976
>nuts AND fruit on a salad

the fish is good though but might be overcooked

>>5678048
gourmet as fuck

>>5685995
>>head cheese
I tried this before and it tasted like bologna

First cashew chicken I've tried to make (not by any means the authentic kind, though). It turned out pretty good! It was simple and quick too.

>>5685998
What's your beef with mixing nuts and fruit? That salad looks like it would taste pretty good to me.

>>5686012
You had some shitty head cheese, then. The stuff I had is mild and creamy, with a nice subtle peppery undertone. Delicious, and only like $2/lb.
I've never had bologna, though, so maybe that's what bologna tastes like too.

>>5686016
it looks good but I know what fruit and nuts taste like

>>5686026
I was drunk and it was around midnight and the deli person was just letting me sample all the meats - pretty sure this was boars head head cheese lol

>>5685973
I already ate mine, it was just some sandwich I made at work. was god tier though. grilled chicken breast, feta, spinach, romaine, tomato, onion, chopped crispy bacon and ranch dressing. right now I'm eating some shitty small bag of Combos from the gas station and getting drunk again.

you ever make that moonshine homemade lemonade I said to try?

>>5686036
>I know what fruit and nuts taste like
Delicious? Craisins and cashews are one of my favorite food combinations ever. Dat salty and sweet.

>>5685998
not him, but nuts are perfectly fine on a fruit salad. Especially candied walnuts. I only get upset when I see fucking strawberries on salad, keep that bullshit away from my greens.

>>5686039
>you ever make that moonshine homemade lemonade I said to try?

not yet because I kinda use it as a mixer since it is very sweet

what I do is mix it with onyx and other stuff so I never actually drink midnight moon with juice in pure form

>>5686050
>not eating a basil, balsamic, strawberry, shaved hard goats cheese, candied walnut and arugula salad

>>5686046
I just made craisin, coconut and oatmeal cookies and cashews would have made it even better

the problem would have been if I put all of that on top of a salad

>>5686054
it is sweet. I usually cut my liquor with water or juice but I'd imagine you like it potent. if anything just try squeezing half a lemon into a shot of shine, thats really good too.

>>5686081
I might just try freezing some cubes of pure lemon

not sure what the freezing point of lemon juice is but some of my cubes seem to melt faster than others

>>5685998
Leave me alone, brah.

Have you never had one of those candied walnut, fruit and baby spinach salads?

>>5686058
Mah nigga

>>5686153
I've never had a puke salad in my life

>>5677756

Doesn't look half bad honestly. I'd eat it.

>>5686163
Too bad for you, son.

>>5686163
ever had a salad in your life Fatty Lumpkins?

>>5686167
I'm gagging from this

>>5686171
all the time

>>5686167
Looks good.

>>5686177
Looks bad.

>>5679778

You're supposed to use a beef stock you fucking donkey

>>5676590

>>5686183
this

>>5686177
kek.

that looks OK, i'm just giving you the piss for not liking fruit and nut salads, which are delicious. i'm a pleb too. I have a lady friend who works at an Asian diner who offered to bring me free sushi. I told her to fuck off because sushi is terrible.

I was trying for something vaguely Asian.

>>5686253
you def nailed vaguely asian

some mufuggin salmon, baked. spinach, blueberries.

rice wasn't done but you get the picture

>>5686198
What kind of cheese, and what's the thing on the far right? Also, nice dead bear you dirty hippie.

>>5686204
>sushi is terrible.
I pity you for not being able to enjoy sushi.

Didn't take a picture but I had some leftover mojo pork from Sunday dinner and a bell pepper stuffed with quinoa, eggplant, zucchini and ricotta cheese.

>>5686288
yea, apparently I'm missing out on something great. it's a shame, it tastes like ass to me and I can get it for free. oh well.

>>5686325
Have you tried different restaurants? I've had terrible sushi before but when prepared properly it's probably my favorite food.

>>5686286
I used feta, couldn't find blue in the supermarket. (not that I'm sure I even like blue cheese)
The far right is flavored tempeh.

Also thank you, I try to shower at least once a week.

>>5686356
>Also thank you, I try to shower at least once a week.
As long as you douse yourself in a heavy coating of patchouli oil nobody will be able to tell the difference.

>>5686356

i've only had it twice. I hate seafood period and eating it raw doesn't help matters. both places were supposedly legit and I only ate one because qt grill was pressuring me to have a piece.

first time it was raw crab and I ran into the parking lot to spit it out. second time I think it was some sort of raw tuna, I swallowed it like a champ and turned green for awhile. fuck seafood man. I just can't get behind it.

>reheated microwaved steak
>cup of cranberry apple tea
>dem ketchup fixins :)

i just got a cast iron pan so i fried some chicken in it for the first time. it was incredible. i think it's the best fried chicken i've ever had in my life.

the breading was just mixed up eggs and then breadcrumbs made from a few slices of wheat bread through the food processor with salt, pepper, and lots of smoked paprika. i used canola oil and boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into smallish pieces.

i want to make more for dinner tomorrow but i feel bad about how much oil i used for one meal.

>>5686572
>i feel bad about how much oil i used for one meal

You should. Frying at home is for fat as fuck inbreds. Just fucking buy fried foods when you are out at restaurants and they can justify the economies of scale with keeping a commercial fryer operating 24/7.

>>5686579
i'm sorry

I drunkenly let all the water boil out of my only pot last night, so now the bottom is BLACK with bits of burnt noodle mixed in. So I had chicken with green beans, collard greens, onions and garlic - but no rice. :(

>>5686579
This guy is just an angry cunt, don't listen to him. Instead, point and laugh.

You don't have to throw away your cooking oil as long as it hasn't been burned and isn't rancid. Just strain it and get all of the food out and keep it in the refrigerator.

>>5686450
In that case let me revise my earlier statement and pity you for not being able to enjoy seafood.

>>5686641
what's the best method of straining oil? wire mesh dongle?

>>5686678
a chinois or fine mesh sieve with cheese cloth

>>5686678
I use a mesh colander lined with cheesecloth. Works pretty well but takes awhile.

>>5686682
it also helps if you let the everything sink to the bottom and pour slowly so you dont shake up the sediment

Just cooked some nice ribeyes in a cast iron skillet. Came out med-rare. 8/10 would create obscene amounts of smoke again

This thread inspired me to caramelize some onions, add flour, cooked strips of chicken breast, and beef stock and pour that shit over noodles. Turned out SUPER silky and rich. Shouldn't have added rosemary. Adding the mozz was a good idea. Won't make it again, but it gives me more confidence / motivation to try both French onion soup and beef stroganoff. Overall, 6/10.

>>5676590
chicken, rice, eggs(3), tuna, cheese,

Just finished this, it was pretty good
mustard
80/20 ground brisket
provolone
grilled onions
grilled hatch chilies
avocado
mayo
some random toasted roll

Lunch for me. Hit the spot.

>>5686204
>because sushi is terrible
I agree with you on that

I've tried it a bunch of times and just seems so bland and boring

imo a nice grinder with a bunch of cured meats and some sharp cheese is 10x the food that sushi could ever be

>>5687370
>>5686204

It figures that you'd post Palin because you're just about as dumb as her yourself.

Connecticut isn't flyover middle America, it's New England you utter fucking moron. And seeing as they aren't landlocked in the least, I don't see why they wouldn't have good sushi you fucking retard.

You're the worst kind of retard, the kind of retard that thinks himself clever. Well newsflash, you're not. Your brain is dumb and you don't know shit.

Pumpkin soup entrée and chicken stir fry main.
Custard jelly and pears for dessert.

No pic tonight, sorry.

absolutely fucking disgusting. God damn I hate onions on pizza. The contrast in tezture between the cheese and the onion is wnough to gag a maggot.

>>5687569
Stay mad, Connecticut

crispy crab bites and chicken madeira

>>5687386
damn, sounds like someone's dad got arrested for white collar crimes and mommy had to find a new daddy, but far away from connecticut.... lots of bad memories of new daddy....

>>5688424
looks like you're treating yourself well tonight. is that like 2 lbs of mashed potatoes north of the chicken/mushrooms?

>>5688433
I wouldn't say it was that much

for the price though I should have got at least 2 lbs

>>5686525

You know, occasionally you post a large meal, which is fair enough, but it seems you eat a bit too much too often.

>>5688424

Assuming he doesnt eat massive lunch thats a large but not obscene sized dinner for a big guy.

>>5688484
what can I say? I'm a big guy

>>5688510
this place has been around for like 30 years and has really good pizza

>>5688533
the only other thing I had today was breakfast which was a bowl of lentil, tomato, spinach soup and a ham salad sandwich

>>5688570

>>5687348
Got a dinner picture today. Pork tenderloin with red wine cherry sauce.

>>5676590
SpaghettiOs w/ grilled cheese and some bottled green tea.

>>5688570

Probably one of my favorite things to make. Everything's from scratch. Always a fun endeavor.

>>5676658
I have this thing about milk products mixed with water.


Yuck.

>>5690066
you don't drink smoothies then?

>>5685976
Fish looks nicely done, I like the salad, though personally I'd have tossed the leaves in dressing a bit more, they look a bit dry. Also I'd have cut up the orange into smaller pieces as opposed to wedges, but good combo

>>5686015
Looks good for a first attempt - not sure if its just the photo or not but try deep frying or baking the cashews first - gives added crunch and adds to the dish. Add them to the other ingredients just before ready to serve as well to keep them crisp. Celery wouldn't be a bad addition to this dish, diced carrot isn't unheard of either.

Not many sear marks on the chicken and the capsicum looks like it hasn't sweated properly, maybe try on a higher heat next time, the key with stir fry is to keep everything moving so nothing gets burnt whilst cooking everything quickly.

Sorry if I sound critical, it does look good anon just trying to help if I can

>>5685998
Don't see how you feel that strongly about someone mixing fruits and nuts (excellent combo) in a salad when your OP is a shit tier bun, untoasted and drowned with steak sauce. With a side of pizza. Not to mention served on a paper plate and tinfoil too, stay pleb tripfag

>>5688429

Nice one, but no, actually I just get subjected to what "the locals" think is good because I travel a lot for my job and they always want to take me out to eat and drink.

Sushi is almost never good outside of major cities (NY, SF, etc). The only time I have encountered an exception was, oddly enough, in Kentucky where there was a surprisingly good sushi place. I was told that there was a Japanese car factory nearby and the place mainly catered to expats.

And Connecticut is not for foreign foods. They have really good American food, but expecting sushi or legitimate Chinese food or whatever? No way, absolutely not. It may be near the coast, it may be a short drive from New York, but it's flyover country where food is concerned.

>>5690424
Was it Toyota?

>>5690427

I think so
