    curses I've read the cooking thread while hungry and have been cursed with specific desires for beans and rice

    On the subject of refried beans, can one do that with any kind of bean? Because black beans are just better than other beans I'm sorry and if I could I'd replace every bean I eat with black beans.

    You definitely can with black beans! I haven't ever tried with white beans or anything like that since black and pinto beans are right there but i suppose any starchy bean would work well enough?

    Cook your brown rice in chicken stock instead of water. It improves the otherwise bland flavor of brown rice

    Hell, unless you specifically want unflavoured rice, always cook it in stock.

    I use a 30/70 tomato sauce to water blend with some turmeric and cumin when I make rice. I also usually make rice for curry, though, and it comes out super good.

    eh. i'd usually serve rice with something already oily and salty (like a curry, stir fry or chilli), where its purpose is to cut the richness with a neutral vehicle. sure, cook your rice in stock if you're just going to chuck some veggies in and eat it, but as a side to a complex dish keep it straightforward.

    I like to cook my rice with a tablet of Cons-Mate dissolved in the cooking water. It's easy to find here in LA and easy to order online, but I hadn't known about it until I moved out here. It's just a seasoned chicken and tomato bullion.

    Yeah at most, if I want to jazz it up I'll throw in some cardamon or ginger, but that isn't so much to add flavour, but to add aroma.

    Made buttermilk biscuits, ended up using the recipe from the KAF 200th anniversary cookbook. My first biscuit sammich had sausage, egg and sharp white cheddar. It did not last long enough to snap a photo. Round two (shown below) was a bit simpler since I wasn't as hungry.

    Making a meatloaf tonight using Serious Eats' Food Lab recipie which includes gelatin, anchovies and Marmite.

    My wife has very exacting meatloaf demands, ie. it be exactly like her mother's so she usually makes it. Figured I'd take a swing at something that is meatloaf but hopefully feels different enough that she can dissassociate it from her mom's.

    Got some carrots from the farmers market, with the tops included

    I had heard you could eat them, so I looked up some recipes

    Ended up making a salsa/gremolata/chimichurri thing, adding olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt and garlic. Chili flakes too, since I had no whole chiles on hand.

    Turned out very well! Ate it on toast alongside the carrots themselves (roasted), and some soft boiled eggs.

    I grilled burgs with munster cheese last night and added a disc of grilled onion, a disc of grilled apple, and some bbq sauce

    it was maybe the best burger I've ever had

    Strongly considering buying one of these sous vide machines on sale for prime day. Really into the idea of cooking meat without having to babysit it in a hot pan and still have it turn out perfect.

    Any recommendations about a Joule vs the Anove

    I have an Anove and it's been a rockstar. No fancy bluetooth on mine though, which is fine really.

    Cool, that’s 60 bucks cheaper than the joule anyway. Plus apparently the joule is only controlled via other device, which I think my GF would hate.

    Thanks!

    I think I've finally nailed my perfect stirfry brown sauce. I've always tried to replicate the brown sauce I see in [American] Chinese restaurants here, in dishes like (my fave): chicken and broccoli. I've always been told it's based on hoisin sauce. I realized though (after my last stir-fry) that the most out of place flavors were coming from the hoisin.

    So instead, this time I made the sauce with:
    soy sauce
    oyster sauce (adds a delicious and very strong, deep, savory flavor with some sweetness)
    scoop of chicken bouillon paste
    mirin
    fresh garlic
    fresh ginger
    sesame seeds
    sesame seed oil (very small dash)
    cornstarch to thicken

    LET ME TELL YOU HOW DELICIOUS THIS IS. I mean holy shit it's amazing. Not only does it taste pretty much exactly like take-out sauce, I think it's better. SO MUCH flavor. Good grief, it's good (I'm eating some right now).

    we got a pasta roller attachment for the kitchenaid a couple of weeks back and i'm having a lotta fun with it. figured today since i'm mostly housebound with a young maniac i'd do a beef brisket bolognese sauce and roll out some fettucine noodles later.

    I put this in as an error response in an API I wrote, once upon a time. When things went disastrously wrong the endpoint would announce that it was a teapot and would be shutting down because it had gotten confused.

    I got that roller for Xmas and it is super cool! I can't wait until my kids are old enough to help out and have fun making noodles.

    Been using the kitchenaid pasta roller for more than 10 years. It’s great.

    It cooks quickly, and if you bake it or steam it in a bag you can actually do it from frozen without it affecting the end result.

    I saw this "Tuscan butter salmon" recipe pop up on Facebook the other day and I kind of want to try it myself. I would personally remove the salmon from the sauce at the end and then toss some linguine or something with the sauce.

    I feel like this is a super ironic question coming from someone of your profession.

    Tynic do you ever unironically refer to the non-internet world as meatspace?

    No
    Meatspace is when I wire up a bunch of steaks and try to turn them a simple synaptic layer.

    I forgot to update on the jam I made

    it's incredible

    picked 5 cups of mixed blackberrries and wineberries, added a quarter cup of sugar, 2 table spoons of lemon juice, and boiled it slowly for about 45 minutes. a bit seedy because of the wineberries, but it tastes great. Made 16 oz.

    I'm going to go out today and get more blackberries (the wine berries are basically all gone) and make 16 oz of blackberry jam

    great big old spoonful on buttered whole wheat toast is a great breakfast

    I love using my sous vide for salmon or other fish fillets. It's super easy to cook it all to the right temp then toss on a screaming hot skillet to crisp up the skin.
