I use this as well. Fuck the police.

I'm just going to point out that you skewed your own results by telling us that men are more likely to love them. I hope you are not using this for anything important.

Male; like 'em. Depends on the type, really.

I personally think that JitB has the best eggs on sandwiches and biscuits. They are the only fast food place that clearly cracks an egg into a circle on the grill. McD and such has the carton eggs(while I don't mind them, having separation of yolk and white is much better).

Trail Mix is usually just a collection of nuts and dried fruits that is pretty easy to grab and take on an extended outing, like hiking. Thus, trail mix.

Pretty much just learn how to use cayenne and bell pepper appropriately. I live in East Texas and I can honestly say that those two things are the foundation for most cajun recipes, at least from what I've seen.

Also roux. Gumbo is pretty easy, there are plenty of recipes on google.

I currently go to school at the place that created the most commonly used sweet onion in the world.

We'll figure something out.

So much fucking mad in this thread.

Chili looks pretty sub-par, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at it.

Personally, I view beans in chili as a necessity only if you are actually trying to make it go further for your dollar. There is no reason why chili should have relatively flavorless pieces of protein when you can have an amazing tasting chili with no filler.

For OP's sake, I hope it thickens up by tomorrow.

Shameless bump.

He got banned because he said he was 17. The website clearly states that you can't be under 18 to be here.

/ck/, I've got some of these motherfuckers right here: split chicken breasts. About 6 pounds.

Tell me how I should cook them, and I'll take pictures and do some OC.

Alternatively, I was just going to trim, brush with olive oil and garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and bake for about an hour at 375.

Almost 2 inches thick is pretty damn thick.

Try searing both sides for about 3 minutes, then put the skillet and all into a ~375 oven for about 15 minutes.

Thicker meat = lower heat + longer time

Unintentional sage

Any variety of salami.

There's a specific meat that's like salami, but I can't remember what it was called. I had it on a sandwich with mortadella and provolone and it was amazing.

Alright, I suspected it before, but it's pretty obvious now. Troll thread, move along.

I'm neither a vegan or a chef, but I'll be damned if I get ANYONE advice on how to fill their body with garbage.

I make meals for myself every single day, and it doesn't disrupt my life at all. It literally takes less than 15 minutes to prepare some really good simple meals.

Just get out.

>I know how to cook, but it's a waste of time.

Nevermind, get the fuck out and disregard my advice.

I underestimated your level of neckbeard. Fuck you.

Rice, beans, and multivitamins.

Acquire these things.

Next step is to get a sale paper from your grocery store each week and see what's on sale.

Start with easy recipes.

This really isn't that hard. Don't buy 48 packs of chicken patties. If you keep putting garbage in your system, you'll start to feel like shit. Please trust me on this; over the course of this semester, I've weened myself off of fast food and frozen foods. I've felt better, lost weight, and saved a metric fuckton of money.

Texasfag here.

I honestly agree that almost all restaurants are pretty shitty. There are tons of places to get some really awesome comfort food, but if you don't want something fried, covered in cheese or gravy, or just a plate of meat, you pretty much have to cook it yourself.

That being said, where I live has great grocery stores and I know many people that like to cook, so I really don't mind.

Making a simple marinara sauce is great for learning what herbs do to dish.

Learn to cook each main type of meat in various ways, steak, chicken, pork, etc.

Find the way that works best for you to cook some staples, such as beans and rice. Baking bread at home is stupidly easy, I made one the other day that was fantastic. 4 ingredients, just had to let it rise for about 18 hours.

Find your ingredient. Most people have at least one ingredient that they fall back on that they really enjoy. For me, it's cayenne pepper or garlic(from an actual bulb, not powder).

Honestly, a great start is to find a food blog that you enjoy with a general style of cooking that you can relate to, and just do some recipes that look good. For me, it was Ree Drummond's blog about 4 years ago that made me actually start cooking. Since then, I've done some pretty crazy good stuff, but that was great for starting out.

Quite possibly; I seriously doubt any can of coke will have a discrepancy in flavor that you're used to.

Spices, especially spicy things like jalapenos or whatever is in the tamales, can really affect the other things you taste.

...what?

This, sort of.

The steak actually went through a 10 minute marinade that the taste of the gravy would have covered up.

>>4090729
Oh fuck, I want that in me right now.

Brb, going to get some carnitas.

NY Strip, med-rare, with feta cheese and oven roasted garlic.

Red potatoes, with herbs and shit. Gravy was made from the meat drippings, chicken stock, and some cajun seasonings.

Fuck presentation. It was delicious.
