My mom was a drunk and would be unreliable for food and the stuff she made was often bad so if I wanted to eat I needed to figure something out. My first real cooking experience was trying to impress her with a nice meal and it worked. The monster liked me, and food was a great answer for making a bad situation better.
After that it has been… Whatever works. I talk to people about their tricks and try cuisine I might not otherwise like cause it is good to know. Get cookbooks and watch cooking shows sure but also exploring the concepts behind how and why. I chose to learn basics. Why something turns out the way it does from the way you cook it (poached, baked, broiled, fried) and then add to it and adjust.
Humans are great puzzle solvers and cooking is a personal puzzle for what tastes good and what you have to work with. Get the basics down and then be ok with mistakes.

6·1 day agoThey were going for a drunken master motif so… Yeah probably. Which is bold to expect so few flaws that you put in a purposeful one to joke about.
Shit, that’s neat.

3·1 day agoYeah that might be the most accurate to the blaming tone these kinds of articles write with and to what they will take from us.
Just need to jazz it up with some homemade slang to hide the sad bits and the immortal rich part.

So I guess I get paid to be miserable and destroy my own life… Well at least I will get paid for it now.

Oh, no. As the scientists of the Smithsonian put it,

4·7 days agoWider open you let in more light, and want faster shutter speed, more closed you get less light and want a longer shutter speed.
And f stops work backwards. Think of it as percent of sensor covered. The bigger the number the more covered it is and the smaller the hole/aperture.

Yup, apparently just need ketamine and loud sycophants to ignore the world.

12·8 days agoThat’s batshit and such a newgrounds thing to do to make mutated incestuous cats voiced by terrible people.
Definitely weird, hard to say if it is in good taste or bad. Very Edmund level of fucked up.
Ugh… No, I can smell it already.
Honestly, looks like one of the things you would find in those “luxury” french themed Asian bakeries like Paris Baguette.
But not enough hot dog so probably not.
The first piece of tech for doing sous vide was a piece of lab equipment used in chemistry.
Its a technique of making stuff work and can be done with a thermometer and a pot of water.I would say definitely get a vacuum sealer, you can do the cold water and ziploc trick but it will never really truly work and I had to use a wet towel to keep the food submerged when I was doing it. But that means you can still if you are ok with weighting the bag.
I buy a bulk box of the premade bags from a restaurant supply store cause they are cheap and then I can individually seal meat when I buy it and freeze them, makes portioning and doing a quick sous vide faster too.Then if you want to be cheap you can get a used immersion cooker, it doesnt touch food, just water usually. I usually use a pot on some cork board wrapped in a towel. Some chefs really like using a cooler cause it is insulated.
ANOVA is a good brand just get controls on the device cause it is just easier and faster.
Ok here is another I am fond of.
Make a large cheap meat, (chicken thighs, pork roast, tritip) butcher into smaller pieces and wrap well and freeze, even better if you can vacuum seal it. You can basically sous vide in a pot of boiling water and then use in lots of ways. Fajitas, casserole, poutine, shredded BBQ sandwich, etc.
I do this with tonkatsu and charsiu which are nice to have and do as a big batch.
