Cheery Pic of the Day

Buffalo wing recipe for two.

^ Purchase six chicken wings, make sure they're not frozen, pat them dry with paper towels.

Chop the wing tips off. Grab the wings and bend them so you know where to cut. Separate the drums from the flats.

Any oil (I used vegetable oil), medium high (like, six), make sure it's preheated.

Season and flour the wings with salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne if you want, etc... toss, carefully lay six into the almost boiling oil. 15 minutes stir a couple of times.

Meanwhile on low heat, 3 or 4 tbs butter, 5 tbs Frank's Hot Sauce, add a hotter hot sauce to taste, etc... Stir occasionally.

Remove chicken, put second batch in, and place first batch on paper towels to drain, then toss in a bowl with some sauce.

Celery is totally optional, or carrots or another stick vegetable, but if you only have cheap blue cheese dressing, skip it. The real cheese or nothing, the wings are almost as good without it.

^ Pic six is the winner.

^ Yeah, so not so cheery for a vegan, bird foster mom. Dammit, read the room next time, hhh.

Vegetarian and vegan aren't the same, but people often confuse them these days.

I made this thread is a disaster, may the pieces fall and the pics be cheery.

The original, of course. Bird sauce, cow sauce, I would use it sparingly on fish, if at all.

Sunrise in Fort Pierce, FL. Suck it rest of the east coast, USA with your terrible weather, unseasonably cold for this time of year.

Sorry, I recently spoke to a friend who is Austrian and realized he sounds just like Arnold, so now I think I'm subconsciously phrasing sentences to sound Austrian.

No sauce was used on these garbage birds. Get to da choppa!

I grew some very hot small red peppers a few years ago, and had so many I didn't know what to do with them, so put a few in a blender with a little vinegar, sugar and salt (garlic? I forget) and kept it in a small bottle in the fridge. Man! that stuff's hot - just a drop will heat up your whole plate. There's still some left.

(A whole load more were just allowed to dry in the sun, and they're still sitting in a bottle on the shelf.)

^ You owned a restaurant, right? Please, some beginner Japanese recipes. A simple breakfast, lunch and dinner, that would be great.

For America, I'd go with omelette and coffee for breakfast, tuna fish sandwich on toasted bread with a side of crisps (look at me, talkin' a' Bri' ish) for lunch, and shells with bolognese meat sauce for dinner.

Easy meat sauce...

A couple of tbs of olive oil in a big saucepan, medium high, add diced onion (any color) and reduce heat to medium when it gets hot. You can also add diced carrots, celery, bell pepper of course, any hard veggie here, and Italian sausage if you have some.

Add ground beef (so most of an onion, depending on the size, and a pound of 70/30 fat percentage ground beef).

Break it up as you stir occasionally, after five minutes you should see a bunch of moisture in the pot, steaming out of the chuck.

Smash 3 garlic cloves (at least), dice and throw those in.

Add salt, pepper, a lot of oregano, Worcestershire, Balsamic vinegar, tomato paste if you have some. About 10 or 15 minutes should be enough time from start to now, you can add your base.

Add one can (16oz, I think is the standard size in the US?) crushed tomatoes. I really don't care the brand, though some are better than others. Just dump any tomato on there, the sauce needs an acid.

Add red wine if you have some, half-cover and simmer for an hour, stirring occasionally.

Done.

I think there's a food thread somewhere... time to revive it?

Ah, here: https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=6483
How about splitting off the food posts from here, and putting them there?

There are also some food posts in "off topic" starting here: https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 547#p97547
I tried to get the food thread going there, not everyone went for it but eventually ohnonot started the thread above.

Not a candidate for revival, but I found a discussion about veganism, interesting in places:

Japanese food covers a huge variety - all kinds of outside influences have been coming in since... the Portuguese were in Nagasaki (tempura, castella), and continue to this day. Thai fish sauce is in the supermarkets, and dinner could be chicken gratin or a squid stir-fry...

The traditional Japanese breakfast is rice, miso soup and pickles + whatever addons come to hand.
But I'm not the person to ask beyond that point.

Eating out in Japan is great.

Awesome! Totally awesome.

Hi all,

I'm not sure it's the right place, I hope so ...

Just wanted to share with you my "new" BunsenBook Pro (based on MacBook Pro 5.1 15'' hardware from 2009).
I'm so happy to have it up and running, after some time closed in its box. It works like a charm, with Carbon.

^ Definitely cheery! Of course, I just pissed off a bird lady with my budgie recipe, so I've set the bar low.

^ Heron with painted turtles, PackRat 2025.

Feral kitties getting way too comfortable in my driveway, and I'm fine with it...

Crazy cat lady used to own the house next door, and she shows up EVERY DAY between 0700 and 0800 to feed and water them, they have a good life. It's Florida, it's warm and they have fun torturing the lizards and running away from the peacocks.
