yeah, i'm just limited with cooking supplies. i have a pot for pasta and that's it. i usually cook shit at my friend's house if i wanna make something, but tomorrow gonna get a saute pan and a baking dish.

ugh, i should grab the sandwich grill when i go home in a few weeks. i'm so hungry all the time.

if i had to choose 1 pot to rule them all that would be my cast iron skillet. which is not even a pot proper. it also doubles as a weapon if required.

luckily i live in a nice gated place so no weapons needed, but a skillet would be hella nice.

the thrift store is fine and in desperation walrat has made in china lodges for like $8.... may not be an old-school wagner but pays for itself the first time you cook in it.

yeah, even ross has a few decent looking ones and it's next to trader joes so i can get two birds stoned at once. i was never much into cooking until i just had a microwave for six months and missed real food.

[!@#$%!]

yeah. buying prepared food is for bougie office workers & aspirationals with too much debt. fuck that shit!

btw i ate awesome garbanzos tonight. with yellow peppers, shallots, some seasonings which included soy sauce. i buy them raw at the hippie store. soak them overnight & pressure cook them for 30' in the weekend and use them all week.

without pressure cooker just slow-boil them for an hour or 2. versatile as fuck. for breakfast with eggs, for lunch in a salad or hummus, for dinner howevr the hell you want them.

well this garbanzo-cooking peasant must wash the onion from his face and go to sleep.

 

[schizophrenicroom]

night! and ah i should try that. i eat a ton of hummus just by itself. could just some texture.

[!@#$%!]

i feel bad, like this thread promotes alcoholism instead of healthy drinking

but here, i just "invented" (if one can say that) this cocktail

THE PEAR SHAPED (kindly note the joke)
2 oz cheap brandy
.5 oz cheap pear liqueur (18% alcohol, some cheap french thing, tasty but overly sweet)
3 shakes of angostura bitters
shake w/ ice
pour on coctail glasses

this meets the 4 criteria for a cocktail: spirits, water, sugar (the pear thang), bitters

tastes like sweet victory and i don't have to break open a vermouth

just wanted to share the recipe before i completely forget

nighty nights

the brandy is cheap but tastes better than good vodka

the pear thing is actually tasty-- it's no poire williams (that would be the way to make it right) but it has good flavor. it just sucks as a liqueur due to oversweetness but it's not essentially bad-- hence its use as a syrup instead

it didn't occur to me to muddle pears even though i had them-- but i'll plunk some pears in cheap brandy next year.

right now i'm just trying to get rid of winter stock before i switch to spring drinks.

sorta like making malasadas before lent.

[schizophrenicroom]

wine, alone, because everything sucks

[!@#$%!]

Lies. I am surrounded by lovely people.

[schizophrenicroom]

eh i was feeling cynical.

water with mio flavoring, because i'm broke

hey you

i hope the cynicism is gone

i had such a nice time this weekend!-- barely recovering today

your post made me think, if you coud drink that always, then you'd never be broke in the first place.

[schizophrenicroom]

ah, it is. told a former flame to fuck off, a bad influence to stay away, an old friend that we should hang more. been a good day or so.

yeah, how was mardi gras for you, party animal?

heh, made me think too

[!@#$%!]

it was fucking glorious

it will take me a few days to comprehend though ha ha ha
