    I guess. I will admit that I use pre-made stocks pretty much whenever I'm cooking. I just don't use enough of it to justify actually making up batches of stock.

    I don't mean stock, I mean literally cans of soup. Like, a pasta bake will use a can of Campbells cream of mushroom as the sauce. Pre made stock I can understand.

    things you don't miss after moving out- campbell's mushroom soup casserole

    Awesome, well done. I know I have like zero chance with hot sister but goddamn if I don't try. Also it's a swank bar so I'll get to dress up!

    I shall consider my next query for the Oracle of Chat.

    Greek girls are pretty hairy

    i am just sayin

    I knew a Lesbian that was pretty hot. I should have asked her out.

    Hmm.

    A proper Lesbian, not a lesbian.

    it was a really, really good idea that was suggested to her

    I agree. Many thanks.

    Do you want me to send you my friend's contact info so you can atleast set her up with an interview or something?

    I don't really have any power over setting up interviews since it would be in a different office, but all our open IT positions are on our website and I can put in a good word for her with Recruiting.

    Hmm.

    I'll add you as my facebook friend when I get home and pass you to her profile so you can send her a message with the details of how can she apply and all that shit.

    Yeah, but cream of mushroom seems to be the odd one for that. Most of the recipes I see that used in though tend to be more of the "I've got 10 minutes to feed 5 kids" kind.

    The good thing about Betty Crocker is that the recipes are easy, cheap, and quick

    The problem with Betty Crocker is that it is bland, not especially good, and relies far too much on pre-made ingredients. It often comes down to mixing a packet of this powder with a cup of that powder and the contents of these two cans.

    It doesn't really end up teaching good cooking skills or habits I don't think.

    I have an Alton Brown cookbook that I think is a pretty great primer and teaches some great basic skills and their rationale.

    Is this the origin of all those people in the cooking thread suggesting recipes that use cans of soup as a basic ingredient?

    Probably in part. If you look at, like, ladies home journal or those mom-based magazines and that kind of stuff, the point of cooking is to get hot food on the table for an undiscerning family cheaply enough to keep a family budget and quickly enough that you didn't have to miss your stories to make dinner.

    Now, there certainly is a rationale for this kind of food preparation. But arguably, it's not really "cooking" - or at least it's not proper cooking. There's basically nowhere to go from this kind of food preparation except finding new recipes.

    That said, cajun cooking, which is delicious, was originally heavily reliant upon canned goods like cream of mushroom soup or ro-tel tomatoes. Better chefs have been kind of reverse-engineering the cuisine in order to make a more respectable set of basic ingredients and techniques, since the original recipes read basically like spicy Betty Crocker recipes. This is probably also true of other kinds of american cuisine.

    where are we meeting? preferred restaurant or what?

    well I was going to take you to this thai place I took nexus a few years ago, but I can meet you at the path if that's easier for you.

    your call. if PATH is out of the way from the restaurant then don't bother, i can usher everyone to where we need to be

    i went to school in queens so i know my way around the city a bit, i just want to be able to give people something a little firmer than "we're eating with pods at 1 in manhattan"

    what say you?

    where is the place?

    Well the place is on St. Mark's (east 8th) in east village, off of lafayette/broadway and astor square.

    oh that's easy

    we can just get on the PATH headed to 33rd via hoboken, getting on at grove street

    get off at the 9th street stop and just walk past the park/NYU

    right?
