Food Is there a delicious food thread?

I dunno about you guys, but I have this thing called climate control in my house. You guys should look into it, its pretty neat.

I don’t know about you, but I have this thing called “winter” where I live. It’s hard to keep a consistent temperature and humidity level when it’s -30C outside and a couple months later it’s 30C

we'll see if my new HVAC is any better at humidity control, but the old one sucked.

You know ranch was actually invented in Alaska and the hidden valley people are the actual inventors.

It's also not just a Midwest thing, after 1983 when shelf stable ranch was invented it became the best selling dressing in America.

I've honestly never tried it.

That still doesn't make sense inside a house.

I’ve actually bastardized another process to make it simpler

So I did bastardize it and it turned out okay. Still needs some work.

* Made dough
* Stuck it in its own fridge at 42F for two days
* Pulled it out and let it warm up for 60 minutes inside of an oven where I had dumped 5c water into a pan
* Removed from oven and preheated to 500F with cast iron pot inside
* While oven preheated, I lightly floured it and kneaded it a couple more times
* Once oven preheated, turned down to 450F and baked for 30 minutes with the lid on
* Done

It turned out a little dark on the bottom and the crumb was a bit uneven, but I'm wondering if that won't even out a bit more if I tried a 450F oven. I was quite shocked how quickly it was done. And just having the big, hot, heavy lid on top provided some great browning.

I also forgot to score the bread (or whatever the fuck its called), but whatever. Overall, I was kinda surprised how well it turned out.

I should make bread. I love bread.

Do you? Or do you love the idea of bread.

Everytime I make it I eat the entire first loaf and then kinda get turned off.

Can't eat it much anymore cause salt.

I constantly eat bread. Sometimes I'll just grab a raw slice as a snack.

Attempted sourdough sub buns.

They kinda pulled short and expanded wide in the oven, so they don't really work as a sub bun. But they still make a badass sandwich.

I'd prefer to just make my own. Way more rewarding and cost effective. That said, I don't do it that often.

I miss eating good bread. Gluten free bread isn't the same.

When I was a kid I was obsessed with making bread. I had "the complete book of breads" and would make barley bread and rye bread and I got really good at rye bread.

I miss alcohol. Lime juice and orange juice and club soda are not quite a margarita.

I have a friend who keeps trying to lose weight on keto. Shockingly, he never does. Also shockingly, he thinks I'm crazy when I tell him that the only real way to lose weight is to eat less. So he continues on in this ridiculous cycle.
