Cookin again

[Jahydin]

Oh, and I had to use some better than bullion to make up for not buying enough beef broth.

BtB for life! Don't think I'll ever buy broth again.

Oh, and if you haven't yet, drop by their webstore to see all the different flavors.

It’s very good. The meat falls apart in your mouth, the veggies maintain their

I really don't like cook books based on media, but my wife convinced to try the D&D ones. This soup was one of the reasons. Glad I did, because there are quite a few good recipes in them (more so the first one, I think).

When it was ready I added the two together, and rounded it out with some asafetida powder.

Never heard of this, but sounds delicious. Will have to try it out!

I should do that yeah. It’s great stuff.

Yeah I can’t wait to try some of the others, though I wish it had more details and pictures.

It’s a staple of Indian cooking that has a similar flavor to garlic but is safe for allium allergic folks. Very tasty.

Pro tip: get a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid (we repurposed a quart-size yogurt container.) Put all of your vegetable peels, trimmings, end pieces, stems, etc. in it, and keep it in your freezer. When it gets full, dump it into a pot and make vegetable broth out of it.

Or, if you're a gardener, bury the scraps in your garden.

Wouldn't that make gritty vegetable stock?

I really need to be better about this. Same with keeping bones for stocks and cilantro stems for marinades.

I’m more likely to make my stocks ASAP, concentrate them, and freeze them.

I've been comparing notes with American in WV of all places. Due to our dollar going to crap dining out here is stupidly cheap vs USA. Our dollar can buy many potatoes.

Made this yesterday.


Oklahoma burger style burger pattie served up in baguette

Experimenting with air fryer for meatballs.


Didn't have right ingredients so made Chilli con carne meatballs. It worked.


Bought this. $15 usd breakfast.



Cheapest place I can find is sonething like that for $11 usd.


One deal is beer, burger, fries for $14 usd.

Great pics today!

Everything looks like "real food" compared to the overpriced, premade, frozen meals the restaurants in my small town serve. Wasn't always this way, but COVID lockdowns really did a number on us.

Less processed here. I've been comparing notes with American. His bread had about X5 or 6 the amount of suger. Also depends on where you live in USA Wisconsin dairy for example.

As I understand it there you have Hugh fructose corn syrup a lot. Plain ol suger here. I can't tell difference between NZ and Mexican coke.

And dye to potato dollar our dine outs cheap and you don't tip. Indian for 3 over there the Naan bread was $ here it's about $2.30. He spent around $120 NZD same meal here for 3 would be half that maybe bit more if you went somewhere fancy.

How many salad variations can I do with onion, cherry tomatoes, coleslaw and lettuce?

Try to limit the bad food to once per week. Lots of salad based meals I suppose.
