I dunno what for the meat

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

What do you want to know about the meat? I would be happy to go into great detail...

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I actually know more than Sir_Didier_Drogba on this: You're supposed to snap the asparagus at the weak point which is often more in the middle of the stalk than at the bottom.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Yeah there is a natural weak point but it is rarely in the middle, usually about two inches from the end. I know asparagus man, I actually have a nice asparagus trick for you.

You need egg, pepper, cider vinegar, asparagus. Soft boil egg and steam asparagus over that pan. break open egg at top, drip vinegar in and add pepper. Dip your asparagus in, stir around and eat. You have DIY asparagus in Hollandaise sauce.

Asparagus makes your wee smell funny.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I buy all my vegetables frozen, and preferably in the microwavable steamer packages.

 

[Jaboldinho]

Had some great ribs last night. The guys that took me to the place were hyping them up like crazy, and with good reason.

Frozen Vegetables
Is that for convenience? or does snap frazing seal in the freshness...?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Totally for convenience, but the difference is marginal anyway and it's not like I'm cooking gourmet food in my kitchen.

Mine smells funny anyway

Frozen vegetables are very different from fresh produce. In taste, texture, color, everything. I can eat both, and sometines frozen is quite good in its own way, but fresh is always better. I especially notice this with asparagus because my mum uses frozen and restaurants use fresh.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

You know, I never ever buy the frozen ones, not just snobbishness but I only ever buy what I need to cook on the day so I dont really buy frozen anything....

That's because it is a stew. Anyway, maybe I'm just more artistic than you bean counters; I like to just throw stuff together and experiment rather than following recipes and peeling potatoes.

Yeah, that's my point. A stew isn't really a romantic meal.

When cooking I generally do exactly what you're talking about. That's part of the fun of cooking, and why I like cooking, but not baking. Baking is all about the science, and getting the cake/slice/whatever to act as it should (rise, etc).

Cooking is much more fun and creative. My soups, stews, pastas, meat sauces, stir frys, etc are basically never the same twice. They'll be close if I find something I like, but generally I like experimenting.

I always have some frozen veges in the freezer, just in case.

But generally use fresh for everything, except peas. Peas are pretty good frozen, and hard to get here fresh.

Everything else is much nicer fresh, and, like Sir_Didier_Drogba, I generally buy stuff as I need it

 

[Alex]

Totally for convenience, but the difference is marginal anyway and it's not like I'm cooking gourmet food in my kitchen.

The difference shouldn't be marginal for most vegetables, but if you're only using them as a convenience, and a quick way to eat fairly healthily, they're a good choice

what about eggs with cocaine? colombian recipe

 

[Alex]

Hot dog is such an ambiguous term Hisashi. In some nations it purely refers to a frankfurter style sausage in a bread roll. In others it's sausage in bread. Then in others again it's just the frankfurter style sausage itself.

Australian hot dogs are generally frankfurter sausages in bread, and are generally boiled, not fried, as they're in a red skin, not a normal sausage skin. So if that's what you're speaking of try that. Otherwise you need to give me more information. Grilling sausages is easy though. You don't need much oil
