The stars predict tomorrow you'll wake up, do a bunch of stuff, and then go back to sleep.~ That's your horoscope for today.

Re: Dark Shadow's Surprisingly Well-Lit Random Banter #217
Nice! My potato cravings are completely disproportionate to my potato intake, but that mostly depends on the fact that I have really minimalistic cooking habits.
Also, what have you done! Now I started thinking about fresh potatoes, and this is the completely wrong season to think about fresh potatoes!

I put ketchup on every 'starch only' component on my plate except pasta and french fries. Not bread either, but bread belongs to the side of the plate, so it doesn't match the premise anyway.

It's interesting to have an impending international business trip which you don't even know when it will happen. The only thing I know is that it won't happen next week, and this is something I didn't even know a day ago. Planning my private life around this has turned out to be an interesting challenge...Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: Dark Shadow's Surprisingly Well-Lit Random Banter #217
Especially on rice. Rice needs some kind of sauce to be any good, and I just happen to prefer ketchup over most "grown up" sauces.
Yeah, it wasn't planned very well in advance, and it met delays which couldn't be solved just by yelling at someone, so now every new development is told on miniscule notice...Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: Dark Shadow's Surprisingly Well-Lit Random Banter #217
You guys are missing something very important. How can you not talk about potatoes au gratin? they are the epiphany of all potatoes! Also they go great with stake, one of my favorite meals.
Re. the Ketchup people: you put it on fries, burgers, and sometimes chicken tenders (also tater tots). Not on rice, mashed potatoes, and especially potatoes au gratin, got that?Last edited by Baby Gary; 2018-01-11 at 12:03 AM. Reason: [S]wings[/S]

Re: Dark Shadow's Surprisingly Well-Lit Random Banter #217
Potatoes au gratin is good, if there's not too much cream in it, or any cheese on top. Of course, the only recipes which don't include cheese on top are those adjusted for cheese dislikers, i.e. none. You don't put ketchup on it, because there's already sauce in it, and you can't have clashing sauces.
Apart from that, the Lord of the Heretics reject your beliefs and substitute his own.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: Dark Shadow's Surprisingly Well-Lit Random Banter #217
Nowadays I only use ketchup occasionally when making a brown gravy (adds a little tanginesss)... otherwise it's totally gone from my repertoire. I've had it so much that it's just... lost its glory, if there ever was one. Mayo, flavoured and unflavoured is my go-to thing right now. Getting back to hot sauces would be cool but as of this moment it's a way too expensive thing to keep up for me. Proper sauces aren't exactly student budget friendly.

Re: Dark Shadow's Surprisingly Well-Lit Random Banter #217
I've been thinking of experimenting with whether hollandaise is freezeable. Really, any of the mother sauces should be replicable at home.

Re: Dark Shadow's Surprisingly Well-Lit Random Banter #217
Correction: Julie and Julia. It's a movie starring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep, about Julia Childs who wrote a famous cookbook which translated French recipes to English for anyone to use. Its a great movie, one of my favorites, and she tackles some of the mother sauces.

Re: Dark Shadow's Surprisingly Well-Lit Random Banter #217
Honestly most of them are pretty basic sauces though that can be made pretty cheaply. All but hollandaise start with roux, which is just some flour and some form of fat (typically butter) mixed and briefly heated.
Béchamel: Roux and dairy, usually milk, to form white sauce
Velouté: Roux mixed with a light flavored broth
Espagnole: Roux, a strong broth, and some mix of meat and veggies
Sauce Tomat: Tomato sauce, sometimes with roux
Hollandaise: think we know this oneHail to the Lord of Death and Destruction!

Re: Dark Shadow's Surprisingly Well-Lit Random Banter #217
I have seen Chicken cordon blu kept frozen in a resturaunt. I never found out how good it was because I never got to try it.
If you ever get a few bucks, you can find balsamic vinegar in your grocer. I have a bottle of some 20 year aged in wood balsamic that I got on sale at a Kroger's. It has quite the tangy taste that you may be looking for without becoming a barbaric cretin by using *blech!* ketchep.
I fixed it for you.

Re: Dark Shadow's Surprisingly Well-Lit Random Banter #217
Say what you want, but the French put method and thought to the culinary arts, especially when it comes to avoiding waste and using anything there is available.
Warkitty is pretty much correct at pointing out that there're "Mother Sauces" that you should learn to cook by rote and that you can do endless variations based on these, fitting for nearly any dish.

Re: Dark Shadow's Surprisingly Well-Lit Random Banter #217
We could just make it one word, like sauceelitist. That looks weird, though, so we could take the first part of sauce and the first part of elitest and condense it to sauceli. The pronunciation is clunky that way, it sounds like an Italian island or something, so I guess we could improve it by moving the I before the E and changing the L to an R.
So you can just say "saucier" for short.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.
