Cooking is a valuable life skill that makes you make delicious food.
It also costs less than restaurants.
So let's talk about cooking, and recipes
or perhaps cooking tips
Like replacing oil with apple sauce
I made this thread because I was hoping someone could explain how to make good fried rice for me.

Rice is delicious.
It is good to cook rice in chicken broth(or other meat) as opposed to water because it makes it more flavorful.
that rice is good
and chicken
seriously
that would cook with me
god why is monica out of town

it was originally developed for the royalty of some asian country i forget which
but it tastes better than any other white rice

the best kind
A thin crust pizza with red pear and gorgonzola cheese. It has to be a really thin, crispy crust so you can really get the full taste
to the grocery store
any other flavor of yogurt
Oh, and I made and frosted a really big cookie in the shape of my company's logo for a potluck in the office at lunch on Monday.
My mom used to make big design cookies a bunch when I was little. This was my first attempt at it and I think it turned out pretty good. The logo is pretty simple, so it was a good place to start. Also, it's my great grandmother's sugar cookie recipe.
Because sometimes people like things that you don't
or a tree
What you'll need:
1 acorn squash per person you're feeding (this recipe makes enough stuffing to fill way more, though)
1/4 pound each of ground pork, beef, and lamb
1/2 cup of rice, cooked (start with half a cup of dry rice, when cooked it will obviously occupy much more space)
1 large carrot
1 Celery stalk
1/4-1/2 of an onion
1/3 cup chopped mushrooms
A few handfuls of fresh spinach
Herbs de Provence
White wine
Butter
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Chili powder
Crushed red peper
First, cook some rice
You don't need much. Probably half a cup of dry rice is enough.
Next, you're going to chop up some vegetables. Namely, carrot, onion, and celery. You need 1 large carrot, 1 stalk of celery, and a quarter to half of an onion, basically depending on taste.
Cut up the celery and onion the same size as the carrot.
Put them in a bowl, and set aside. What is it about these 3 otherwise unremarkable vegetables that makes them smell so delicious when placed anywhere near each other? Somebody should write a paper.
Get some mushrooms (your favorite variety will work just fine), and cut them up to about the same size, and set aside.
Now, to the good part: from left to right, you've got lamb, pork, and beef.
Mix them together in a bowl until they look something like this
For God's sake, don't turn them to mush.
In a large frying pan, heat up a bit of olive oil on high heat. High heat is important, since you want the meat to brown on the outside, not boil in its juices.
Add a little bit at a time, and break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
When you're done, it will look like this
Remove the meat to a bowl, and set it aside. Use a paper towel to mop up some of the excess grease, but leave the burnt bits of meat on the pan. You totally want it there. Trust me.
Add some olive oil and butter to the pan, and heat it up.
And toss in the vegetables
If your house smells anything other than orgasmic at this point, you've done something wrong.
After 10 minutes or so, the vegetables should have browned a bit and become somewhat translucent. You're going to now add some white wine. A cup or so should do it.
When cooking with lots of different ingredients, you're going to end up with a lot of different flavor compounds that are soluble in either fat, water, or alcohol. You want them to dissolve so the flavors are evenly distributed, and not stuck to the bottom of the pan only to be washed out. With this recipe, plenty of ingredients have the fat and water covered. The wine gives you alcohol, ensuring that nothing is wasted, and adds some flavor of its own.
However, it's important to note that while you can cook MOST of the alcohol out of a liquid, you'll never get rid of all of it. So, if you are averse to consuming any amount of alcohol under any circumstances, you'll have to use water or something. I'm sure it will still taste good.
Now, throw in a few handfuls of spinach.
Cook it until it looks something like this:
Finally, add the rice that you cooked earlier, the mushrooms, and the meat.
Add salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and a few dashes of this stuff
Your stuffing is now done
Now, to the squash
Cut off the top, and scoop them out like you're carving a pumpkin. If they won't stand upright, cut a little bit off the bottom to create a flat surface.
Add a pat of butter and a dash of cinnamon and/or nutmeg and/or chili powder to the bottom of each one, fill them to the top with the stuffing, and put them in the oven. Use the "lids" that you cut off the top of the squash to cover them.
Cook at 400 for about an hour, serve immediately.
i have unlocked the secret to deliciousness in your very home
pretty good!
then my intestines shouted their rage at me for several hours afterward

also these steaks are slightly overcooked (the first batch at least) but still so god damn tasty oh my god they are falling apart in my mouth
probably because i am chewing them
I don't really like the fruit that comes with the yogurt because the texture weirds me out
- Scramble an egg and dice up a handful of cooked chicken
- Get a wok or a frying pan if you don't have a wok. Pour a little dab of your favorite oil in the wok.
- Pour the egg into the wok when the wok is good and hot. Break the egg up into little fried-rice sized pieces using a spatula
- Once the egg has been broken into pieces throw the chicken in the wok
- Add a dash of garlic powder to the chicken and the egg
- Toss a large single portion of day-old cooked rice into the wok
- Add salty soy sauce, making sure not to use too much, until the rice is a good fried rice colour
- Fry until it's hot
Tonight I am gonna make some spagetti with spicy italian sausage, got a half bottle of cabernet picked out to mix with the sauce.
