Could you post a recipe?

I followed this, but where it says to let it separate overnight, it didn't do it, so I brought it to a full boil, and (probably unnecessarily) added a bit more vinegar, then it separated pretty quickly. Then I let it sit for about 6 hours to be safe, and then hung it in a cloth for a bunch of hours. There was actually not a lot to drain out, because the cream I used was thick as hell already.

I tried two methods of making iced coffee. So far the hot-brewed kind was delicious, although it wasn't very sweet because I forgot to add the sugar while it was still hot. The cold-brewed kind (cold water and ground coffee left to sit overnight) currently looks like mud in a jar, but we'll see how it tastes in the morning.

Cold brewed coffee is magnificent.

I can concur. For my hot-brewed iced coffee, i generally just make a plunger pot of normal coffee, have that during the day, then freeze the remaining liquid into a block.

I didn't really enjoy the cold-brewed kind. The taste wasn't very sharp, and once again all the sugar I added just sunk to the bottom (I should invest in some liquid sweetener). It was alright, but I preferred the hot brew.

The hot brew I did was just regular double-strength coffee, cooled in the fridge and then poured over ice. The cold brew was 1.5 cups of water with 1/3 cup of dark Yuban coffee.

Made lamb rogan josh. Only the second or third time I've ever cooked lamb, and it turned out well. Damn shame that it's so expensive here, but a guy gets really tired of eating chicken all the time.

Made some kind of lemon-pepper chicken and mushroom concoction the other night. Started out sauteing fresh mushrooms in butter, crushed garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Decided it needed a little something and I was out of white wine, so I used some Shaoxing wine I've had around forever (it's called "wine" but it's more like a dry sherry). Added some thin strips of chicken breast and continued to saute, then turned the heat up so the liquid condensed down into more of a sauce on the chicken and shrooms, then served the whole thing over pasta. Pretty darn good for a random concoction.

Do you have a butcher or meat farm around? If Iowa's any indication, lamb heart is incredibly cheap, probably in about the same range as hamburger (although, that's hamburger from a butcher or farm, so it'll still be on par with decent grocery store beef steak in price). It might work well, although it does have a very slight liver-y flavor.

I learned how to make bitchin' teriyaki chicken in a frying pan for like 9 bucks, guess that counts as something even if I don't use a recipe. Maybe I can support myself someday! Maybe.

+1 for consuming hearts

They've always made a good stew when I've used them.

Going to a 'Fryday' Friday gathering. (Basically chilling with folks and deep frying stuff)

I ask. What is good item to deep fry?

[nenjin]

According to the South, anything.

Off the top of my head:

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

Candy Bars

Cookies

Button Mushrooms

Onion Rings

Pickles

Zucchini

Bananas

Corn Dogs

Dough (You drizzle like some Bisquick Pancake Mix over the oil, let it brown, scoop it out, hit it with powdered sugar, and you have Funnel Cake.)

Anyways, just posting to say, mom still make the best Rigatoni. Damn it is good.

I can vouch for Zucchini, Corn Dogs, Dough, Mars Bars, and ice cream oddly.


Edit:
If you're American, your Mars bars are wrong and I cannot vouch for them, btw.

Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches?


Anyway, I need something to fill some rice balls with, so that I have something to eat for lunch during the week. I'm thinking something like mozzarella cheese, but I also want to add/use something else to that. I also want to make sure that the total cost comes out to no more than $10 a week(the rice is <$2/week already), preferably much less.

Mars Bars in the USA are exactly the same. They just have a different name (Milky Way).

I've got half a Hokkaido pumpkin and some potatoes roasting in the oven right now. They are taking FOREVER to cook but oh MAN do they smell good. So hungry...

[Helgoland]

Huh? At least in Germany Mars and Milky Way are distinct.
