Me? For wine? Or the small kiosk in my local market hall which sells game?
I mean they wine's sort of expensive, but since I stay at home, not really. Compared to going out and having 4 pints, I'm better off.
The mince is about 10e a pound. But I complement it with so much veggies that it lasts for several meals.
This is basically the base. I slow cooked veggies for some 4 hours, then put a bit through the blender, that's the
White onions red onions, leek, celery, carrots
Habanero garlic
Oh theyre all out of order now.
Anyways slow cook them down to this
And then that picture with the tomatos and whatnot has this mix blended, habanero garlic, blended, cherry tomatoes one can, crushed tomatoes one can, splash of red wine, basil, oregano, thyme.
And that's what gives most the flavour. Froze most of that, then left some to combine with the pound of meat and some chunky red onion bits.
But honestly the meat is there just to completent the meal and provide protein, most of the flavour comes from the veggies, and this are cheap and cheap reds are just fine for cooking.
The picture is basically a recipe, showing me the amounts of things I put in so I can recall the perfect ratio. I do it by heart but I've started optimising it and that blend seen there was fkin perfect. So moorish.
I would fucking love to hunt. And technically I could hunt roe deer with a bow.
I love on the outskirts of turku and most of Finland is forster do finding deer wouldn't be an issues.
The issues would be the work after the kill:
Bleeding is easy enough, a bit of ripe, a sharpie knife and a strong branch.
But the butchering, skinning, etc? Dragging a whole deer dripping blood, back to my apartment on an ebike, filled with an illegal cannabis farm?
Yeah I think it sounds fun but I don't want to go to jail again so.
Hunting part is legal, but suspicious. Cannabis part isn't illegal.
Thanks for the compliments it really was quote fucking moorish.
Edit to be clear I slow cooked a lot of veggies, froze two packs of that, then took a bit out, blended it, made the tomato sauce, then after making the tomato sauce, took 2/3rds out and added the venison and onions for the meal.
Now I've several meals prepped and pre-prepped
Eh, Finland is so flat that the woods are enjoyable, you can't really see the forest from the trees, literally.
American nature actually looks gorgeous, with varying features. And redwoods? Oh my.
Our woods are fine yeah, but roe deer would be the easiest to find on some field / forest clearing at dawn / dusk. I don't have a hunting licence currently, but it's just a theory test. Then the poundage on the bow needs to be at least... oh they've changed these. "The shot needs to yield at least 180 N with the draw length of the shooter." And since 2018 they've required a shooting test as well. I was not aware. Basically you informed me, because you made me look. Thanks.
Oh and yeah smoking isn't the same as drinking, but no, I wouldn't need to smoke while hunting. I'd say it affects me on the same level as caffeine for most people. You know some people say caffeine doesn't affect them at all? Well ofc it does, they just don't notice it. So cannabis affects me as well, but it doesn't lower your inhibitions or make you shake all over so I don't think it's really that risky for an experienced user.
Overall intoxicating effects, if someone has never smoked cannabis, yeah, that would be debilitating. But I've smoked daily for years.
Yeah I do do a bit of gardening yeah. I mean, not properly for food plants. I do currently have a small bucket of garlic that started to grow I thought I'd plant those cloves and see what happens. I grew chilis a few times. And my most often done thing is reportting basil / salad when I come from the store and putting it in a larger pot. Basils last me for months, salads for weeks. And I actively use the basil though, just tearing leaves off. But if I cook with fresh basil once a week it'll regrow most of it or even more by the next week. And salad just is nice dry and fresh leaf to put in between a sandwich.
But veggies are so cheap and cannabis isn't, that most of my gardening isn't the legal variety. :D
It looks horrible now, I've not tended it much recently as I'm gonna change the salad and basil out, the salad is blooming if you can see the stalk reaching upwards from it. There was a bug infestation so I sprayed hydrogen peroxide and neem oil and some the plants took a bit offense as well. Can't really see but the big black has in it oregano (that's what brought the flies this time), but there's also red onion and garlic in that. A shallot and leeks as well just for laughs.
I have a north facing balcony and never get enough sunshine to grow anything out there. Which is ironic as the houses on this street or this area is called "sun valley" in Finnish. Utterly ironic.
Unless you honestly enjoy gardening or have room outside in the sun, I don't think it's really worth it tbh with how cheap those are in stores. At least for me, as I need to actually use energy to grow them with the lights.
But yeah having a base tomato sauce and those veggies as bases makes it much easier for me to have the energy to make a meal because it won't take hours. I should complain to my landlord because my freezer has been drawing it's last for years.
Really the most motivation I got to do this is because I discovered a wheat allergy last year and I can't trust any shops or ready made products. Even the supposedly gluten free ones are often lacking, as they can be called gluten free if it's just below 20mg/kg, but still clearly give me symptoms.
So I try making most things as from the scratch I can pretty much. A lot of doing for most things, but cooking is fun and I've nothing better to do. If only somoene cleaned up afterwards I'd do it every day
