You should grab the more expensive stuff.Originally Posted by Nadouku
I ate at an Asian Buffet and it was good.
Whenever I go to Chinese buffets with my sister she's always the one getting the cheap stuff like fried rice. I always go for the fried calamari or the Peking duck. Might as well get your money's worth!
Man, go on days when there's seafood. Oysters are so win!You should grab the more expensive stuff.

That, and prawns, mussels.....
I usually finish off with the cheaper stuff like noodles, rice, omelets and spaghetti, since they're nonetheless fulfilling.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
It's been a while since I came home and i really missed my parents cooking. I lucked out and came back home right when my parents is cooking my favorite meal.
It's basically a Vietnamese beef stew with noodles and carrots, i forgot to take a picture but here is what it generally looks like.
Oh, what are those called? Goldern-edge noodles or something similar? I've had them before, and they taste pretty good. Personally, not nearly as good as Pho noodles though
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
oh they are called Bo Kho
it's rice noodle in a stew of beef and carrots.
Just finish eaten bowls of cinnamon toast crunch, I end up finishing the third bowl and I just thought to myself.... damn I love that cereal, I should make a favorite cereal thread lol

Figured out the solution to cooking eggs without the yolk was buying liquid egg whites.
Cooking scrambled eggs is no longer a hassle. I just pour a cup of that stuff into the pan and bam, scrambled egg whites in half the time. Apparently you can drink them too but that sounds disgusting.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
For my dinner I just washed/peeled/cut leek, turnip, carrots, prepared some sticky rice, put all that with a chicken fillet for 40 minutes in my steam cooker.
Then put everything in a large bowl and eat.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
It sounds like a good combination, especially the chicken fillet, I never tasted turnips before I always wonder how it tastes like.

The best i can describe is that it taste like potatoes if you boiled them but raw Turnip has more of a slightly bitter/strong taste that is somewhat similar to radish.
Turnips are interesting, I never knew it taste like potatoes, I thought for some reason turnips had more like a cucumber sort of taste, my goal this weekend is to taste turnips
"The End Justify The Means"
Well, I didn't like turnips till some years ago. After all as a child/teen/student my aim was more to fill my tumy than reat properly or have interrest for taste.
That's only when I started receiving an income with money left that I started to go to restaurants and care about taste, quality and so on.
Then turnips started to get attention from me. They are easy to prepare and their peculiar taste makes wonderful contrasts in a dish and in daily eating routine.
And the similarities with radishes comes from the fact they are from the same familly, even though there are lots of varieties of radishes and turnips.
If anyone is interrested in vegetables, try the ones that can be eaten when the vegetable is still young, like baby carrots/turnips/leeks and so on. Most of them can be eaten without cooking, just some peeling and at times just after whashing them.
I love young leeks with "vinaigrette" when they are just a little warm.
You can do the same with asparaguses.
Add to that very young potatoes and a bit of shallots, and you have yourself a very nice and easy dish.
Sometimes people critizise vegetables and cooking because it takes too much time, but really when used to it there are lots of dishes you can prepare in less than 10 minutes... and you don't even need to be precise with the cooking for the results to be ok, your steam cooker or oven does the job for you...
Compared to processed food, I loose like 5 minutes... because most of the time you have to defrost them first. And at times you even have to make mixes and adding sauces... with a time nearing the one of preparing your own food with better ingredients and very nice result

Turnips taste more like soft broccoli. I like them.

When I was younger child/teen/student I didn't appreciate the quality of food, Now that I’m older it feels like I”m actually tasting for the first time. It's kind of weird but usually when your younger we don't appreciate the little things until we get older thus using the experience we acquire

Wow, those dishes look amazing. You've got some cooking talent, as far as appearance of the dish anyway. If I've learned anything from the Iron Chef on Food Network, making your food look good is half the battle.I tried cooking something for my family and behold, my latest creations:
Weird Chicken Teriyaki
It tasted good, despite what it looks like. The sauce and flavor was a little too powerful, but we enjoyed it.
Attempted Lo Mein
The seasoning was okay, but was far too weak compared to other Lo Mein made by professionals. We ran out of Soy Sauce, so it didn't taste too good, but was still enough to make us full.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I'm starting to learn more about cooking, although I still don't like it very much. I'll take an oven over a stove any day. And speaking of baking, I whipped up some pumpkin pie last night. Only took me about 5 minutes to make, and then about a half hour of baking time. I usually guesstimate the measurements of my ingredients rather than hunting around to find my measuring cups.
I didn't take pictures, but I'll give you guys the recipe!
2 eggs
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 cups cooked pumpkin
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup cereal cream or evaporated milk
Combine all ingredients in the blender. Makes enough for one pie. Pour into pie shell and bake at 450 for 10 minutes, and turn heat down to 350 and bake until filling is set.
I substituted acorn squash for the pumpkin (as a side note, a lot of the time squash makes a tastier pumpkin pie than actual pumpkin) and substituted buttermilk instead of milk, and it was great.
Mini-pizza, as it seems I need to save money for....things.
