    Baby spinach and also adult spinach is really great for just adding to hot dishes just after taking off the heat for an extra nutrient and texture boost. Curries, pasta sauces, soups, stir fries, I haven't yet had it not work, it just wilts and blends in nicely to whatever I've made.
    It even works really well with carbonara.

    I like fresh, but frozen and bagged have their place in a dip or quiche or saag

    Y'all can use fresh for that stuff too.

    Takes like another 50 seconds to wilt fresh spinach.

    Crossposting from the bad food thread because this might actually be good food.

    My wife bought some USDA Prime filets, so I made pan cooked filets for the first time.

    After flip:

    yeah but it's also way more expensive to get a ton of fresh spinach just to turn it into exactly what frozen spinach already is

    frozen spinach tends to have significantly less sand than the fresh stuff we get in NJ... no matter how much you wash it

    Sand is very important and most people eat almost none. It's why clams are so good.

    Were out in Indiana nowhere and were paying nearly 900 a month now, and are looking at an upgrade to a place that costs 1200 a month.

    Thats probably not much in other places but because the "cost of living" out here is "low" and we are a right to work state that is hard red we tend to get paid "shit"

    I live in an area with many rentals the price varies from 500 to 2000 a month the odd thing is one person owns many of those homes

    I saw places around here (like, hyper-lux top floor suites in high rises) for like $8,000+/month. For a lease.

    At that point why don't you just like...buy a house?

    Made crispy pork belly on Sunday!

    It's actually super duper easy with just an oven, some rock salt, and something to poke the pork skin with

    (Some pieces sliiightly too charred, our broiler is a lot stronger than the recipemaker's)

    @lonelyahava - before I forget!!

    180g rolled oats.
    150g plain flour.
    150g raw sugar.
    ⅓ cup golden syrup.
    125g unsalted butter.
    1 teaspoon baking soda

    Preheat oven to around 160°C .
    Place the oats, flour, sugar in a bowl and mix to combine.
    Put the golden syrup and butter in a saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring, until melted. Add bicarb to the butter mixture, then quickly pour into the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.

    Use about a large tablespoon of mixture for each cookie, roll into balls and press down lightly (for crispier biscuit press then out flatter). Bake for around 10 minutes or until deep golden brown.

    I saw this and thought fuck it, These are now in the oven.

    Sarah the only thing I will add, for your ease, 1/3 of a cup of golden syrup is 110 grams.

    I also had no raw sugar, so I just did a 2:1 mix of white to brown sugar.

    yeah I usually eyeball the golden syrup because fuck messing around with weighing sticky things. Though I guess I could just weigh it straight into the saucepan now I think about it ...

    In general, I just hate having to measure things out with cups and am always looking for an excuse to save on washing up and tare and measure directly into the bowl whenever possible.

    Also, bikkie update, they came out good and have a good bottom, but I probably should have made them slightly smaller, and squish them a bit more to make them a bit wider to get them crunchier.

    On the whole I agree.

    but I have a 2 year old that LOVES to sit on the counter and help mommy bake.

    So almost everything goes into at least two more measuring cups than necessary nowadays.

    and at least 3 more teaspoons, and at least 1 more mixing bowl for her to mix her own mixture in.


    It's an adventure, to say the least.

    I imagine it's so you can lord over people on high. They won't know your lording over them if you live in a gated community 20 minutes away.

    In seriousness i bet they are for CEOs. Probably only going to be at a company a few years, and the company is paying for it anyway.

    If it has one of those steamer baskets you could do rice and veggies. You could even throw some chicken up there to steam with the veggies.

    assume it does. Like i said im trying to decide if i should get a fancy one or not. I want to know if theres enough variety in the things i would eat so i could cook more without making much of a mess, and ever since i saw the 'put a tomato in the rice cooker' receipe, I've wondered what else i could do that easily. I've been eating too much fast food lately.

    You could get a countertop burner and a pot for around the same price as a decent rice cooker and have a LOT more flexibility. I've never liked dedicated rice cookers. Even the high end ones don't make terribly good rice and are a pain to clean.
