LEARN TO USE WOK.

I got requested to cook western food. I'm happy to, but can't think of anything I can make in a wok that's not asian fusion at least.

Also, no dairy here except eggs. And boy, that video really makes it look nice. Add about two cups of oil to get a more accurate picture of how they've been cooking here...

[Iduno]

Grocery stores are locked down enough that they may as well be closed, so no fresh fruit, meat, bread, or vegetables for the foreseeable future. I've got some flour, so hopefully my yeast is still good.

Waht the hell is rum ham that sounds ungodly.

We have a comedy TV show (so probably Online somewhere) about 4 terrible idiots in Philadelphia, called It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. 2 of them tried to get around the no alcohol at the beach rule by making a rum-infused ham and eating that. That attracted wild dogs, so they got on a raft and ate their ham in the ocean, without first anchoring the raft...

The first few seasons were...not always good at making it clear that they have bad opinions because people with those opinions are terrible, but the newer seasons have been better and except for one season, funnier.

Also, no dairy here except eggs.

Eggs are what now?

[Kagus]

Eggs are raw meat, same as honey and other forms of dairy.

Do not start that argument, please. I like eating food and being alive, I don’t want to stop yet.

Our shops are still open, though the people working there are now wearing various articles of anti-disease clothing. Most people are stocking up anyway, myself included. I’ll probably be baking my own bread by the end of this.

[delphonso]

Wait, are eggs not dairy? I thought dairy included dairy (milk and by products) and eggs.

I recommend stuff that you can cycle down. At the end of whatever you make, veggies can be mashed into patties and cooked similar to burgers. Good for using scraps or something you're sick of eating. Cover it with bread and ketchup.

[ZBridges]

No.  Just milk and byproducts.

[Iduno]

Time to start adapting recipes. No fresh foods anymore, unless I stand in line all day to go shopping. I'm trying rice and beans with a can of tomatoes and chilies instead of the normal onion and peppers, as that's the only vegetable I have.

When I was working in a grocery store, a coworker told me she thought eggs were dairy, because they "came from" chickens the same way as milk comes from cows. She freaked out when she learned that eggs were, in fact, chicken fetuses and quit eating them. I didn't realize she was unaware of that.

Apparently this is a common mistake. Probably because eggs are in the "dairy" section in supermarkets. I feel bad for this mistake, since I'm from America's Dairyland.

Eggs aren't fetuses - they're eggs. Almost never fertilized, which is why I eat them as a vegetarian. I also eat fish roe, when it comes up.

[Iduno]

I only soaked the beans for the rice and beans for ~2.5 days, so a few are too close to crunchy. Mostly everything tastes like tomato anyway, so whatever. It's food, and it's good enough for a few days.

That's where I was living when the coworker told me that. Also, yes, eggs are eggs, but trying to explain that to someone without that knowledge is a bit circular.

I made fresh pasta. Now I didn't use any pasta making machine and all I can say is that doing it by hand wasn't worth the effort (~3h total). They were decent enough but not that much better to the store bought ones to justify doing it again for any other reason other than for shits and giggles.

Yeah, if I was awesome at it like the pasta-making lady on the Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat show (and, currently had any way of getting eggs or any sort of sauce), I'd definitely do it. I guess it's cheaper than store-bought, but my time theoretically has some value. Better than dried, anyway.

I'd like to make bread, but running my oven in the summer is a bad idea; my air conditioner is already running most of the time.

[Ulfarr]

Homemade bread is great. Homemade sourdough bread is even better, it has a way better taste than any store bought bread I've ever eaten.

[nenjin]

I love sourdough but it's definitely to taste. I know some people that can't stand it.

[Imic]

Sourdough is best bread.
