food

There has to be some elite grandma tech for this.

Where I live even with all the precautions in the world my onion and garlic powders in particular absorb moisture very quickly and turn into rocks that I have to chip at to use.

strats?

i've been preparing mine the same few ways for a while and i'd like to get some more ideas and make a change. how do you prepare yours?

"Fried" optional I suppose, but I would love to get a couple of peoples' favourite recipes for ways to cook beans for eating with rice.

I would prefer not just re-posted recipes from the internet if that isn't too snooty.

Bonus points if it requires me to add more spices to the cupboard.

I just hope to reach my goal; you are my only hope. https://chuffed.org/project/150674-support-umm-mohammeds-family-to-rebuild-their-future-and-to-survive-amidst-the-genocide https://chuffed.org/project/150674-support-umm-mohammeds-family-to-rebuild-their-future-and-to-survive-amidst-the-genocide

(vegan) A Tahine made with eggplant, red and yellow bell peppers, carrot, tomatoes, cilantro, parsley and garlic. there is also a little thyme and oregano in the sauce. The basmati rice was cooked with roasted vermicelli noodles.

I'm gonna retract some of my statement's about Gammon food.

Playing with a new ingredient. No CW because they're both vegan

"The Solitary Gourmet" is about a businessman who travels all over Tokyo for work. This is a drama series that depicts a man quietly touring the town's restaurants alone.

There is no flashy story development or narration. He just quietly enjoys his meal. The film carefully depicts the indescribable "joy of eating" that comes with such moments.

Recently been turned on to the goodness and versatility of this ingredient. Aside from the obvious dishes, what should I try it on?

Made this all myself and I think the most expensive part was the chutney which was a little pricey

I live in a small apartment complex above a commercial space in a huge city, dead center of downtown. recently this space has been rented by a string of doomed businesses, currently a very poorly conceived and executed theme cafe/restaurant that uses AI art and just emanates a cursed vibe overall. I have to walk directly past/beside it to enter my building now and it's honestly embarrassing. also they trashed our back alley and now it's a rat paradise. hate these ppl.

I've put in my hours making breakfast and brunch for friends and myself (often just myself tbh) but I used to really enjoy going to select diners in other places I've lived, like the long-gone Moe's (RIP!!!) in Montreal - places where the food was cheap and dependable and you just liked being there. so naturally I have been daydreaming (and note-drafting) about what I would do with the space if someone were to hand me the couple hundred g's for the equipment and lease after this place inevitably shutters. (not very likely but dreaming is free.)

It's been fun to build a menu, conceptualize items, and think about how I would manage the space and manage orders and stuff. I actually devised and made a delicious new pancake this morning, great fun. I've been feeding them to neighbours and my roommate and it's been all raves. I've been just openly raging and despairing over (gestures at everything that's happening) and there seems to be no protest activity here so this has been a nice lil wholesome activity/distraction

I guess my q's for fellow hexbears, I know we're not exactly pro small business tyrants around here but I was wondering if anyone had a resto concept they batted around in their heads a while even just for fun, and also if anyone had some cool diners they wanted to shout out (alive or dead) or had any thoughts on what makes a good diner or shared eating space generally.

With shelf stable pickled salad, fried rice, pork chow mien, an effervescent beverage and delicious food bars, the Chinese PLA has come up with an effective cold weather ration that has reasonable nutritional value and utility overall.

Looking to replace my shitty ones. Also, spring form or no?

It's Toor Dal, actually. From a packet but still very delicious, reasonably easy, vegan, and I haven't crunched the numbers but extraordinarily cheap. I should have tried cooking more Indian stuff years ago, this is great

My oven pancake game is on point these days, look at all the bubbling! I put sourdough starter in it and it tastes amazing.

Sprouted fava beans soup.

It's one of my favorite easy dishes and so I wanted to share it with my -loving comrades

In case you don't know how to get some beans to sprout :

• Cut an onion and a lemon in half, and add them and the sprouted beans to a pot of boiling water.

• Add minced garlic, some chopped carrots (optional) and 3 bay leaves.

• Season with salt, black pepper, cumin and dried coriander.

• Put the lid partially on and make sure to skim the foam off of the soup. It's gonna take 20-30 mins to cook.

• Now heat up some oil in a pan and fry 2 table spoons of minced garlic till golden yellow, then add it to the pot once the beans are cooked. Serve it with rice or pita bread.

P.S.: You can use vegan broth instead of water, and you can threw in a couple of small onions as well.

It tastes rich like a cup of coffee, but with less caffeine so you can drink it all day without getting zooted off the energy sauce. If I lived in China I'd drink it on the daily with every meal.

I'd probably go with comfort food like a big plate of pasta with meat sauce and a side of piping hot garlic bread and a glass of wine, since I'm going to die, sobriety be damned.

didn't put in enough tomato, spice mix was from a packet, but fuck it was still delicious
