I laughed.It was a joke that didn't stick its landing.
Same here. If a recipe calls for a 'dark beer', perhaps for making chili, I'll go for something fancier than a Guinness or a Negro Modelo. I don't know if they still make it, but Stone Brewing has made a smoked porter that was perfect for that. It's not so hoppy that it will affect the chili in a bad way, and its smoky, dark chocolate notes add a nice layer of complexity to the chili.Typically I'll cook with a crafty version of the beer style and not shit beer. It's harder to buy singles here then the US, no one needs extra Busch Light on hand. But also, much like lots of things, better quality produces better results to an extent.
Umm old Pilsner is infinitely better than old oxidized IPAs. And never cook with IPAs it is a bitter bomb disaster. And Busch Light is phenomenal. Great to cook brats in.Pilsner is definitely not my go to, but concur it's better when fresh. More lean towards IPAs (which can work in some cooking) and if going brighter for the hot weather, lager or a Kolsch (or Kolsch style).

Yeah I think you have to be in the game to know what low fill means but they are one of the few highlights of doing what I do. I drink local but also drink almost anything.I had to look up what "low fill" means.
I typically don't bother with pilsners because most of them suck. That doesn't mean that all pilsners suck, of course. I know they are especially tricky to make, but less-than-tricky brewers mess them up too frequently. I also find that they age so quickly that getting them in bottles or cans is a crapshoot. But if I can grab a fresh one straight from the tap at Jack's Abby, then yes, please!

I couldn't do it. The brat scene around here is lame. Good chorizo, crappy brats.Now that I am thinking of them, I may make brats tonight if I can find some good ones. I'll be trying a different method, though. I'll be cooking them sous vide with beer and sauerkraut in the bag with the brats. In the bath at 155°F for an hour or two, the brats will come out super juicy. I'll dry them off and let them cool off a bit and then brown them quickly.
Omg...what if I use kimchee in place of sauerkraut?
Goddamn you like to overthink simplicityI couldn't do it. The brat scene around here is lame. Good chorizo, crappy brats.
I don't have a grill, muh fucker.Goddamn you like to overthink simplicity
You can do it on stove then or even go eat salad. What do you want from me?I don't have a grill, muh fucker.
Everything has a time and a place. Except Busch Light.Umm old Pilsner is infinitely better than old oxidized IPAs. And never cook with IPAs it is a bitter bomb disaster. And Busch Light is phenomenal. Great to cook brats in.
Just joshin' around, Mr Suddenly Serious. Jeez.You can do it on stove then or even go eat salad. What do you want from me?
Great idea…that even my pickiest will eatIn the spirit of this thread...
I made these turkey teriyaki meatballs the other night and they were both easy and delicious. You could make them ahead easily as well. I made some jasmine rice and a store bought salad because it doesn't have to be Nashville every night. Super quick, pretty easy, pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Gold star for youToday, for the first time in my forty-plus years, I ate some cottage cheese.
The cottage cheese was fancy, top-shelf cottage cheese that cost twice as much per pound as the usual supermarket brands. It was saltier and cheesier than I expected (to the extent that I had expectations). You know that crumbly Mexican cheese that they put on the street corn? I've never had that, either, but I don't know why it couldn't be used as a substitute. The texture was like crumbled feta, but there was no feta tanginess. Any tanginess was like a plain yogurt's tanginess, but it was more muted than that. I am still wondering how it might taste mixed with fruit, and I have no good explanation why it isn't used in desserts somehow. Or is it?Gold star for you️
The texture doesn’t bother me but can be offputting to some. You can put it in a blender with some honey to fix that.
Interesting - I’ve never seen cottage cheese that solid.The cottage cheese was fancy, top-shelf cottage cheese that cost twice as much per pound as the usual supermarket brands.

This is my most favourite recipe right now. It’s winter here and I don’t do so well in the cold.. this soup makes it all better!

ETA: I don’t eat a lot of meat, therefore I only put half the amount in (that’s what she said).
Also ETA: I don’t use a pressure cooker. I bring to the boil, then simmer on the stovetop for 2 hours.
I have dreams about this soup, it's so good.i finally got my pressure and i had some time. i made this today and its. fucking. amazing. amazzzzzzzing. it’s crazy good.

This soup is on my list to try in the next few months...once the temps cool down. (of course I have a list and it's bullet pointed)I have dreams about this soup, it's so good.
