Quarantine Cuisine |OT| : Cooking With COVID19

[Eschaton]

had a bowl of steel cut oats, some flax and berries with maple. 

[G The Resurrected]

Got a bunch of carrots, onion, and potato diced up and sealed over the last week. Some to freeze and some to eat fresh. I can make all kinds of things with those ingredients. Also packaged up 18 pounds of chicken breast and got a 25 pound bag of rice divided and sealed too and lots of pasts and canned goods. So I'll be making curry & rice and chicken multiple ways while I stay at home.

I also got snacks. Them GoGo Sqeezes, Nuts, Jerky, and shit loads of Perrier Water cases. Also got a crap load of oats and different cuts too so I can make savory oatmeal or sweet oatmeals.

Menu:

Curry Rice with Pork/Chicken
Chicken Bacon carbonara with asiago cream sauce over pasta
Chicken chili
Pork Ramen
etc...

[EchoRin]

Making burgers today. Got some salmon and pork in the freezer. Some cheese and turkey slices, eggs, cream cheese, sausage, milk, Powerade in the fridge. Bananas, cooking onions, garlic, a few cans of soup, 3 various cereals, tea. Oh I also have that delicious Hershey cake in the freezer. The one that you can buy by the slice at Burger King. It's the best.

Edit: and I bought "Freedom of Press" beer by Revolution brewing. It's a session sour so I thought I would like it a lot, but I think it's pretty average. To my taste buds. It has a currant flavor. Yeah, I don't know. Won't ever buy a pack of it again. Many other sours and session beers I enjoy.

[EightBitNate]

Bought a fuck ton of cup o’ noodles but I really hope restaurants don’t close. McDonald’s is doing the double patty Mac

[BisMarckie]

Saw that flour was sold out everywhere.
Bought some wheat grains and will make my own flour and trade it on the black market for cigarettes.

Seriously though, my wife loves to bake and we only had one pack of flour at home, but that’s plenty for some delicious cupcakes


I really did buy the wheat grains though. 

[tiesto]

Lotsa cereal, lotsa beer, purdue chicken breast packets, pork chops, sausages, garlic, lotsa pasta, and some fresh veg.

[Nintex]

Steak yesterday, fish 'n chips today. 

[BIONIC]

My mom’s tendies 

[Great Rumbler]

Made up some curry with beef chuck and an Idaho potato. Haven't eaten any of it yet, but I got enough to last me for a few days.

[TEEEPO]

oh man, i had planned to start this thread. same wavelength breh

 

let's all share recipes to ensure the bore's survival

[TEEEPO]

but millet is so fucking delicious with just a tiny bit of added oil and salt 

i mostly have all the staple dried beans that whities have appropriated but my go to are lentils, moong dal, whole urad, urad dal, and the such

indian dal

[BisMarckie]

FACT CHECK: Dried beans and lentils have been a staple in European cuisine for centuries.

[TEEEPO]

nobody will argue that europeans aren't cultured 

[BisMarckie]

I have my late grandma’s handwritten wartime/post war recipes, 90% of them belong in the bad vibes thread.

[Potato]

I'm going to make a massive pot of chili and probably some chunky vegetable soup. Will use any leftover chicken to make chicken soup as well. If I can find some white beans, I'll make some fasolada.

[Human Snorenado]

Last week I made and froze two batches of chili and one big ass pot of veggie soup. I have 30 cans of various Progresso soups (gonna get my daily sodium, for sure). For breakfast I bought two large canisters of steel cut oats and a bunch of frozen morningstar farms veggie sausages. I have enough coffee to last for half a year, with an emergency package of powdered non-dairy creamer (yuck) and plenty of stevia. For the next week or maybe two I'll keep going to the store and getting fresh produce. After that I'll start eating from my supplies and having eggs delivered I guess. I really enjoy omelettes. Plenty of butter and cheese in the fridge.

I'm at high risk (fat, pre-diabetic/type2, chronic respiratory issues) so if I get this I'm way more likely to die than just 2%. To say nothing of the fact that in America, even if I pulled through I would end up broke since I have no savings and our health care system is utter shit. I can't afford to get it, and I can't afford to get saved if I do. So I'm taking this more seriously than most.

[Nintex]

Waiting for all this to blow over




 

[Mr. Gundam]

Living in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, my wife has always made sure we're prepared to be without access to stuff for a long time. We have a freezer in our garage full of berries and meat, as well as a pantry with tons of heirloom beans, rice, a bunch of canned stuff she made herself, etc.

[james]

Couldn't take it any more I'm getting Korean takeout

[Mr. Gundam]

Well I know where my band of marauders is headed next!

Hah. I bought heavy duty bolt cutters to get into the bomb shelter across the street if it ever gets that bad.

[BisMarckie]

Like I won’t kill myself immediately once the internet goes out.

I can only see the Nutella glass that is precariously wedged in there.

[Madrun Badrun]

The freezer is still full of post-XMAS HAM sales; as any normal year.  Might need to break into the reserve sooner this year though. 

[Ghoul]

We had a well stocked freezer until the partner decided last night to defrost it.

Can’t wait to go shops later and find out they’re empty

[brawndolicious]

85% of my calories are rice, pasta, beef/chicken, canned beans, and canned tuna. Other than the beef and chicken, I think I already had a taste for quarantine cuisine.

I do eat fast food a few times a week so those might get closed down, I should probably stock up meat, potatoes, and hot sauce packets.

[Dickie Dee]

Rediscovering my love of Chunky soup straight from the can with hot sauce

[EchoRin]

Looking at the McDonalds app... buy a filet-o-fish and get any size fries and apple pie for free. Guess I'll do just that. Shouldn't be too busy if I go there at like 3:30.

edit: It was dead and somehow my order still got lost in the shuffle lol. they gave me an extra pie and then the lady gave me some strawberry shake that someone forgot or was just extra sitting at the counter when I asked what the situation was with my order. strawberry shake was ok. not even close to Shake Shack quality. free is free though

[mormapope]

My strategy is to get food that's insanely easy to make without too much effort, like, crawl to a heat source and plop the shit in.

Got lots of flavored tuna packets (ton of Jalapeno and Thai sweet chili), tons of Uncle Ben's ready rice (four cheese, rice and beans, Spanish rice). Three boxes of instant oatmeal, will probably buy 5 more (maple and brown sugar, strawberries and cream). Some canned mini ravioli, Ramen, and a couple cans of baked beans.

 

[TEEEPO]

i have some no-knead bread fermenting/rising atm and just finished making a batch of new york style pizza dough

baking

[Potato]

Feeling a bit cannibalistic...just made some leek and potato soup.





Just waiting for it to cool so I can add some cream.

Ingredients
1 leek
4 medium potatoes
1 garlic clove
1 celery stalk
1 can of cannellini beans
olive oil
vegetable stock
salt
cream

Method
Fry the garlic, celery and leek in some oil until the leek is tender, add the potatoes and cook them a little too. Cover with vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Add the cannellini beans once everything is cooked and let them cook a little too. Add salt to taste.

Let everything cool down for a bit, then get a hand blender and puree everything up fine. Add cream if you want a creamier texture.




EDIT: Turned out fucking amazing.

[tiesto]

Gonna try braving the supermarket tomorrow I think... see what's remaining.

[CatsCatsCats]

Beans and rice foreverrrrr

[Potato]

Started on pumpkin soup now




Update: All done now.

[nachobro]

Gonna try braving the supermarket tomorrow I think... see what's remaining.

went to the store yesterday and it was pretty funny what was left. if you are eating vegan or gluten free, you had the run of the store.

the meat section was hilarious. all that was left was a lot of corned beef, chorizo, and bratwurst. i left with some of each and am looking forward to it

Yes, yes, fuck yes!!!

[Bebpo]

Last night I tried to take 2 chocolate frozen waffles and make a peanut butter sandwhich between them.  (couldn't find bread).

It did not go well.


Today I was able to find bread and a bunch of stuff so cooking will be more productive going forward.

[Potato]

Tonight : orzo with cannelini beans and some veggies. Missed eating and cooking simple food fuck fancy shit

Photos please.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Danish Christmas meal. Flæskesteg with brown sauce, caramelized potatoes, boiled potatoes and red cabbage.

Roast was in the oven for a good few hours.

Nom nom.

[Potato]

Cooking some spaghetti sauce today.

Started with onion and garlic in olive oil


Then added some pork mince


Then some beef mince


Browned that off and added a little beef stock and then some pureed tomatoes


And then because I am cruel and like to make my kids secretly eat vegetables, I added some grated carrot and celery.


Going to let it cook at a low heat for the next hour or so and then add some mixed herbs, a bay leaf or two and some worcestershire sauce.

[Steve Contra]

I’ve been fucking it up all week. Taillerins, risotto, porridge, some serious Texas red chili, got back to baking bread. I’ll post pics when I can.

[Bebpo]

So I've decided that to learn how to cook and stop eating frozen food and more interesting cuisine (today's lunch was Italian sweet chicken sausage pan-fried in naan bread with some roasted salted green beans and ritz crackers), since the market availability of ingredients is sketchy and potentially dangerous to acquire, I'm gonna try one of those meal kit services next week and see how it goes. I like the idea of it, since I have a lot of GI limitations (can't handle a lot of spices, dairy, etc..) so I can leave out stuff I don't eat.

https://www.reviewed.com/cooking/features/here-are-the-meal-kits-delivering-during-coronavirus

Anyone tried any of them and have any comments re: taste quality? I'm sure they're all safe, nutritious food, I just don't know if their meals actually taste good. Wanna get the best tasting stuff. But for next week probably just go with the one that has a burger because the hardest part of shelter at home and avoiding take-out/fast food is the burger withdrawal and the market didn't have any ground beef or buns last time I went

[Bebpo]

Did a bunch of review reading and menu looking and ended up going with Gobble.com for a test run. Should get some breakfast/dinners next Wed and will try it out for a week. Only things you seem to need besides pots and pans and knives are salt and pepper and I definitely have salt...but need to see if I have pepper.

Some of the other services you need salt, pepper, sugar, butter, olive oil, vegetable oil. I do not have all of those and not sure if I can get them in today's market :| I have olive oil + salt and that's probably it. Gonna try to track down the rest to give more options next time at the market.

[toku]

so many kings in this thread

[nachobro]

made texas chili with that chorizo i got and it was perfection

[Don Rumata]

So out of curiosity, what exactly is "American Cheese"? I saw many recipes/videos mentioning it when talking about burgers, but i'm not sure what it'd translate into (the name is sort of generic if you just google it).
I always thought it was just cheddar, but apparently it's not.

[toku]

Just use cheddar. It's basically a mild more processed version of cheddar? Idk what else I'd say it's like.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Just some simple wraps, with homemade guac, taco sauce, creme fraiche, cheese and homemade refried rice, chicken mince and some veg.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Now just making easy oatmeal pancakes for lunch.



600 ml almond milk (without sugar)
4 eggs
200 gr plain white flour
Few heaps of oatmeal
Pinch of salt n sugar
Fat from the bacon mixed in

According to Finnish google results it apparently means these processed plastic wrapped single slices of soft cheese-like substance? I think that's what fast food hamburger places use. I've never heard that term before, they're just called cheddar slices here (the ones used in non-fancy burgers).

[Pennywise]

Tend to cook stuff that lasts over 2-3 days lately. Apart from that I also made pea stew/soup.e


Lentil stew


Djuvec rice.

Today I'm making Ćevapčići.

My girlfriend and I tried Sun Basket for a little while. The meals were organic, had nice variety, mostly tasted pretty good, some even delicious, with the occasional 'blah' one in there. It's pricey and although the meals said they were for 2, I at least came out pretty hungry (but I have a big appetite). I'd definitely recommend if you have a few $$ to spend.

american cheese is just colby and cheddar mixed together

[ToxicAdam]

The more popular version of American Cheese is the cheese product (ie. what comes in wrapped single slices). It's a mixture of milk, whey protein concentrate, milk fat, salt and some cheese. Our government doesn't even allow it to be called cheese.

Those are the ones you'd typically find on a burger or in a cheese sandwhich. It melts better and retains it's consistency better.

[Don Rumata]

Yeah, they look a lot like Kraft's Sottilette, but more orange in color.
Though the taste of Sottilette is absolutely abysmal, and not really like Cheddar, so i'm not sure if that's the same thing.

[nachobro]

the processed & packaged version is the same thing but the non-kraft version of american cheese is actually pretty good. the kraft version is basically just salt with a melty sort of texture but sometimes that's what you want.

[CatsCatsCats]

Wanted to make chocolate chip cookies but only had whole wheat flour. Surprising the first few batches were pretty good, then I got lazy and put the rest of the batter in like a lil cake and it turned out so good

[MMaRsu]

Im gonna follow in gordons footsteps

[toku]

Provolone is what you want on a nice burger or a thicc sandwhich.

[Bebpo]

I made some good bacon yesterday. The first time I tried cooking bacon I overcooked it and it got crispy and was ok but ehhh I like my bacon meaty.
Last night I cooked it less and added a pinch of sugar on top and it was really good.

Still haven't been able to buy real eggs, or even yellow egg liquids so all I could make with it was liquid egg whites with some salt & pepper and toast, but was good enough.


Tonight I'm gonna try making Tilapia and rice. Was able to get some frozen tilapia and put it in the fridge to thaw this morning. Should be getting a lemon & a lime in a package today. So should be able to cook it up with salt/pepper/lemon and hopefully will taste solid. Haven't cooked fish in like 5-6 years so if it's like the bacon might fuck up the first time but get the hang of it by the second time.

Getting my first Gobble box tomorrow and will have more real ingredients to cook with thankfully.
