I seem to just universally dislike Dimsum

Do I just dislike Dimsum?

I think you might dislike Dimsum.

Yeah, ohh well.

Here's a neat and refreshing thing that I had today. Basically you take urda (or a similar type of cheese, something that can be chunked easily) mix it with sour cream and season with a bit of salt/pepper and then toss in a chopped up spring onion or two. Mix up and eat with some bread or as a side dish to something else. Proportions of each ingredient are left to personal taste, but half cheese and quarter cream/onion works nice enough in terms of consistency and flavor. Light and refreshing snack/salad/side dish that takes a couple minutes to make.

Made some quick burgers using these pumpkin and corn burger patties I got from the supermarket.
Considering I don't usually like pumpkin (and am not a huge fan of corn either) they turned out pretty dang delicious!
So much so that I made a second one after only planning on having one.

Spoiler: Somehow I remembered to get a photo before I finished eating (click to show/hide)

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna eat the rest.

What are some good nonperishable snacks that are easy and relatively cheap to make in large quantities? Dried fruit is right out because 90% of it is gross

[Solifuge]

How Non-Perishable are you talking? If you want to roast nuts and seeds, and even lightly salt or season them, those can be a great protein-rich snack that can keep for a while. Granola isn't too hard, if you don't mind busy work, and it keeps for a while too. I'm a big fan of dried sweetened cranberries and occasionally indulge in fruit leather or apple chips (dehydrators help with this), but if you don't like fruit maybe steer clear of them.

[itisnotlogical]

A day or two. I want a snack to keep in a locker in case I miss breakfast or am out of cash.

[Solifuge]

Oh, if it's only a matter of maybe 3 or 4 days at most, just about any bready baked good would keep too, especially in a sealed container. Maybe start with trying oatmeal-cinnamon/raisin or peanut-butter cookies, banana bread with nuts in it, etc. All good stuff for breakfast. Morning carbs help me wake up too.

EDIT: If you want to avoid cooking, Gorp and/or Trail Mix is a good way to cover for a missed meal, and making a sizable bag of that can keep for a number of days too. Look up a recipe. Common ingredients are a candy coated chocolate, a dried fruit (raisins), salted peanuts, walnuts, or maaaaybe almonds, an unsweetened cold cereal (breakfast stuff), and optionally granola. Basically, cover your fats, proteins, carbs, and some vitamins too.

Using yeast as a spice in a yogurt-mushroom sauce: Yay or nay?

VEGETARIAN FOOD TRUCK FESTIVAL.

That is all.

VEGETARIAN FOOD TRUCK FESTIVAL.

That is all.

Is that the one out south-east?

[Reelya]

It's the one where all the vegetarian truckers get together.

[Yoink]

Um, it's in Preston, so... I'm pretty sure that's East? :-/

Damn, I need to brush up on my geography now I've moved...

[Reudh]

Preston is uh, inner north if I recall.

In other news, I cooked a very simple lunch for myself earlier today. Just sausages, an egg, mushrooms in a little bit of garlic and olive oil. Caramelised onion relish on the side, pepper lightly sprinkled. Easy, kind of rustic, and very filling.

So a friend presented me an idea for me to make for him at work (got a job as a line cook at a bowling alley) and let me tell you it's genius.

Loaded cheese fry pizza....


Take the usual pizza crust and sauce, dumb a large order of fries onto the pizza, apply copious amounts of cheese and bacon, bake, douse in ranch or chili when taken out of the oven.

It's one of those things I would really enjoy but feel guilty about eating.
