    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    They probably had a hot container of gravy that got too low and kept reducing down. Don't stir or thin or replenish often enough it can happen. Same would happen at my mom's seafood cafe. I'd go help clean after dinner service and sometimes the last few cups of clam chowder was cooked down into...

    Tangent, but lots of latinas in my area and after a lot of company potlucks I'm pretty sure cooking is no longer what the women do in Hispanic culture. Literally every food truck and taco shop are dudes, and the young hispanical chicks I know, whether single or married, are worse than the white...

    You've convinced me to give one another try. Not that it takes much. Willingness to be disappointed in Taco Bell has become a hobby. Had one a while back when there were staffing issues so bad they couldn't get anyone to not roll rectangle burritos, so maybe better now. I miss the smothered...

    Taco Bell always just tastes like Taco Bell for better or worse. Grilled cheese burrito was good enough, but for the price not worth it. There are 4 taco trucks with bigger, better burritos on the way to ant Taco Bell so it's a hard sell unless really craving that Taco Bell flavor. My go to...

    Some cuts like steak it's less of an issue and I'll rinse and dry the meat before seering after sous vide and it works okay. Any roasts I usually do with herbs or even a powder gravy packet or some mustard and longer so they break down more and the juices have more collagen in them so they...

    A lot of stuff tastes better the worse it looks. I've made some pretty dingy looking country gravy that tasted amazing because I deglazed the pan instead of getting a fresh pan or didn't rinse the meat (wtf) to make sure the gravy looked pristine white. Same with Alfredo. Why waste all that...

    I think I just make shit up each time. Have done it with cream of mushroom soup. Done a beef gravy (from scratch and using a packet) and added sour cream. It's like chili for me where I just wing it and then when really good wish I'd written it down. To get a sense for ratios and temps I...

    Not every Asian is Chinese, bigot! For some reason I thought you said you weren't Chinese at some point when people were discussing China. What can I say, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

    Yes, exactly, culturally appropriating thousands of years of Chinese culture's cast iron wok cooking because it is a thing that exists. Which is necessary because Chinese culture is shit and needs white man to improve it so they can copy it back to add value to their lives. Because Chinese food...

    You have to move a wok that way? There's no other technique? Light wok, move wok. Heavy wok, move food. There are just two different techniques based on carbon steel vs cast iron. The problem because every stubborn Asian (women especially) I've known knew the one true and proper way to do...

    My cast iron wok has been great even just on a glass top electric cooktop. Not gonna do any fry rice flipping action with it, which I know Lanx does, but for everything else cast iron is great. Gets and stays hot as hell and is pretty easy to maintain, very versatile. Cast iron on grills or...

    KD was pretty down to earth in interviews from his early years. The whole BLM/Trump era retarded him (though like most young, celebrity black men he was definitely primed).

    That's how you know it's working! Good vent fan system is definitely on the list because making pizza inside sets off my smoke alarms as well as when I'm searing steak. All my pans are induction compatible. Just not sure about burner size or searing on the smaller griddle burners. And...

    Yeah, I like mushrooms. Almost always my favorite not-meat in food. Giant grilled portobello on a burger is good stuff. Brioche buns are getting overdone in restaurants and fast food. Problem is we make better ones at home and 99% of the time brioche in a restaurant just means very fragile...

    Link went to discussion about Taco Bell. So, I'm assuming the chicken sandwich vs burger discussion never happened and must now be had in great depth. I was offered a mushroom burger once. Thought it would be a burger with mushrooms. Or, maybe some kind of ground up mushroom patty. It was some...

    White men are the only demographic that can acceptably be shit on in current woke culture, so a game depicting lowlifes and criminals would be safe with a male lead. But then that's racist. Unless they're willing to tell the woke critics to fuck off they may as well just not bother making a...

    Glad to hear it won't be too ableist and there will be disabled actors and characters along with the other inclusivity. Breaking down barriers of ableism was a big theme for Tolkien I presume. Good to know his vision for a more disabled world is coming to fruition.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Whatever they want and in any way they want, right? Because the source material isn't already written out in a way that could be faithfully adapted to a TV series. So they'll just have to provide a new imagining of those characters, and that's perfectly acceptable. If Tolkien didn't want his IP...

    That's the point, though. Could they write a loca latina without being boycotted and protested and having forums full of cucks simping for their feminist masters? Could they even have a female character refered to as latina and not Latinx? In a game franchise that is all about brutally honest...

    I wasn't convinced you had a good argument until you accurately pointed out how "some of you guys" think a female protagonist would be "the fucking end of the world because one of them has a vagina."
