#and ONLY chilis and tomatoes

[thepioden]

I planned on making hot pepper jelly and habanero sauce this weekend, but I think salsa and candied jalapenos may also be in the cards. There's still at least this many baby chilis down in the garden.

That is a 3 gallon bucket of tomatoes, for scale.

#I CAN GROW CHILIS AND TOMATOES #and ONLY chilis and tomatoes #ALL my cucurbits got slammed with blister beetles #but tomatoes and chilis are going ham

[vangoggles]

groceries are getting so fucking expensive but at least we can still have chili cheese fries...

#homemade chili plus oven fries and shredded nacho cheese plus green onion and sour cream 😋 #my chili has lean ground beef plus mini peppers plus black beans and kidney beans #it turned out really good despite only having cumin and seasoning salt on hand #but i also added black pepper and red chilli and oops forgot about the diced onion and garlic salt #wish we had plain paprika so i could have skipped the seasoning salt and used more paprika powder #also i used canned tomato paste instead of crushed tomatoes but it was actually better i think. turned out sweeter since i simmered it 1h

The chili plant I started growing from seed last year is doing well and suddenly I've become an old man who randomly walks outside to go look at his vegetable garden except the garden is a singular chili plant that currently has a few flowers on it

#it's the sole survivor of six plants I grew from seeds I collected from a grocery store chili #it's definitely been a learning process lmao but I love it #this year I'm growing mini bell peppers #cayenne peppers #cherry tomatoes #strawberries #and a few herbs #gotta have plants that like sunshine bc the only growing space is a south facing balcony #that gets insanely hot on warm days

My curry smells good i wish mutuals could smell my curry

#went all out and made a curry paste instead of only using powdered spices #used a thai chili some regular red chilies and a hancho chili and dry roasted them with cumin and fennel seeds #and garlic and simmered it a little then put in blender with lemon juice tomato paste and powdered spices #its only potatoes and chick peas so might as well go crazy with the goop #le goop is coconut milk and crushed tomatoes #oh and i threw some lime leaves in there too #babbles

[tyhi]

look at my tomato plants yall. i grew them from seed

it's interesting, the way plants are individuals. some get transplant shock or nutrient deficiencies and never recover (on the right there and left-middle as well, to a degree)

yet they still do their best!! they are ALL growing blooms!!!! im so excited ok. there are even some tiny green tomatoes on the biggest plant (pic under the cut )

#i sowed them at the same time but they got different treatment due to Circumstances #i grew my own plants for the first time this year and i made a lot of mistakes but the plants are still coming through for me and I'm #so grateful #i didn't feed them on time and some really got injured by that #to be clear i have like 30 plants out in the greenhouses also #plus chilies and a couple eggplants even #not sure what to expect from them yet #overall the garden is doing well i think #if only the night freezes would stop... #but I'm happily surprised by the way i actually do have everything under control at the moment #I'm handling a LOT more than i have in the past. #i used to have one plot and needed a lot of help with it. now i have two and only very occasional help mostly with mowing and some planting #btw these plants are dwarf tomato plants of course like meant to be grown on the windowsill/on a balcony/wherever in pots #gardening #my stuff #actuallyautistic

[mikumutual]

i have to be honest, i like stew infinitely more than soup. i don't like drinking hot liquids, and stew has a lot more substance, which i find more enjoyable to eat

#whenever my high school served soup in a bread bowl i always chose chili #i'm sure the soups were lovely but i only ever like it when i'm using tomato soup as a dipping sauce for grilled cheese

[protect-namine]

losing it over that tumblr post notes because there really are some people going ??? over putting oregano or veggies in instant ramen. like. have you not had instant ramen with whatever you can find in your kitchen/pantry. that's like basic instant ramen 102. throw whatever veg you have on the soup. yeah you can just boil it together but toasting veggies with herbs and garlic is obviously better though, hot oil opens up herbs, and frying adds a nice texture. broccoli isn't even that weird in pantry instant ramen. it's not some sacred cultural food that requires specific ingredients to be ~ authentic ~ like. it's instant ramen lmao.

#mine musings #personallyyyyy my go-to pantry instant ramen veg is chayote and radish #and tomatoes #but literally whatever you have just put it there. it's soup. soup loves veggies #you know what's good on instant ramen? chili garlic oil. pour that shit in there it's gonna taste divine #'who puts effort in instant ramen' lots of people?? #there's like. instant ramen recipes out there. yes recipes #i haven't tried the egg yolk mayonnaise shin ramyun recipe but i heard it tastes good #the ramen packet is good on it's own but it's also the BASE you can do so much with it #it's also like. if i want to try being healthy but don't want to cook a whole meal. i can just make instant ramen and add veggies #and boil them together #but i buy some veggies pre-cut so that's how it becomes a time-saver #sorry i have a lot to say only bc instant ramen + veggies is like. my usual brunch sometimes lol

Seasonings will be pre-measured to my liking and I will work with what I already have.

If anyone says anything about the “Beef” option just know that I don’t eat pork and chicken is hard to get my hands on

#i got polls #tumblr polls #this is for next week #cooking #chili #chili has been my safe food for so long #I wonder how I can ruin it #my only other safe foods are frybread and tomato soup

[zeussim]

My mom is the queen of bland cooking. Wanna know what she put in her "chili con carne"? Pork, onion, a hint of garlic, chili, canned tomato, chickpeas, salt and pepper...that's it. 😐

#once she was marinating some meat and it looked ODD #so i asked her what the marinade was.... #it was water. sugar and chili.... #🤢🤢🤢 #this chili con carne also just tasted of canned tomatoes...and pork 👍🏻👍🏻 #i tried improving my portion by adding some chili pesto and sriracha but it was only a drop in the ocean of blandness #alas i can still taste the canned tomatoes #she is the reason why I always make a warm savory lunch because I know I'll have to suffer through a bland boring meal at dinner..... #nonsims #rant

[femme-malewife]

Hmph . .

#youd think w a name “ghost chili salsa - warning: extremely hot!” Would...yk... #ACTUALLY be spicy #why do i bother w store bought salsa anymore #it doesnt even have good flavor #it has a baby kick to it #did yall add some chile powder to some tomatoes and say its spicy???? #jeez. The only thing thats been spicy enough for me thats store bought isnt even salsa #its the maruchan spicy beef noodles #those have a good kick to em. its not nearly as spicy as i want but i get my spice kick at least #ugh . ...

[exculis]

if i had some bread rn lemme just say. that pot of sauce would not live to see my mothers house.

#im making it for my sister for christmas #she appreciates a nice tomato sauce. i like making a nice tomato sauce. #and also i will probably eat some of said tomato sauce while i am there #the only way i can eat spaghetti is with my homemade sauce and some homemade meatballs. #any other sauce makes me gag #well. i dont mind it with chili. chili cheese spaghetti is a whole nother beast tho

Soup - Lentil Soup II

#To make this easy recipe you need only olive oil #lentils #beef broth #an onion #tomato sauce #and Italian herbs. Ten minutes to put together #forty-five minutes to simmer #and voila! Soup is ready. stews and chili #saucepan #lentil soup ii #olive oil

[bunjywunjy]

I highly enjoyed the chili you made and posted the recipe for....would you mind sharing beef stew recipe secrets?

sure, here it is- this is a modified stew that's higher on cheap vegetables and lower on beef, but still has a lot of flavor

EASY ONE-POT BEEFY STU

1 pound or less of cubed beef, a fatty cut is better

3 large yukon gold potatos

1 yellow onion

4 carrots

4 cups beef stock

5 cloves garlic

1 tsp thyme

1 bay leaf

1 tbs worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup tomato paste

salt

pepper

couple tablespoons of flour (gluten free fine to sub)

olive oil

chop your veggies roughly, heat the oil on medium heat and gently roll the cubed meat first in salt and pepper, then in the flour just until they're no longer sticky. brown the meat in the pot until you get some good color and the flour starts to form a brown layer on the bottom of the pot, then dump the onions on top of it and stir them around until the onions start to get translucent or until that flour layer on the pot starts to turn dark brown, whichever comes first. don't let it burn! add the garlic close to the end of this, it only needs about 30 seconds or so until it stop smelling acrid.

once the flour is in danger of getting too dark, dump the beef stock in on top and swoosh it around with a spatula until all the stuff stuck to the bottom of the pot has been dissolved, then stir in the tomato sauce and remaining spices. make sure everything is homogenous and then add the veggies, lower the heat, cover and simmer for one hour or until the potatoes are cooked through, stirring occasionally.

after the potatoes are soft, check for taste and add more salt and maybe a little more worchestershire sauce as needed. remove the lid and cook for another hour, stirring often, and then you can FINALLY eat it.

the starch from the potatoes makes it REALLY thick, you really don't need to do more than that.

It came to me in a thought.......if American Chease was labeled a "a edible dairy product"

I would carry on with my life

Thus throught brought to you by the magical half an hour after a take my meds but before they kick in were I'm ready to work....but my impulse control is still getting in gear

#i would not shame anyone for likeing american cheese #but my brain does look at it and go chrafting supplies #and my brain puts in in the same food ajasent catigory as tomato's and chili pepers #where other differnt humans can get it and grow strong but my own body will reject it #i hope this doesnt count as trama dumping #only even drama dumping #only comedy caused disasters here #adhd thoughts #american cheese #cheese

sir, this is a wendy's

for @steddieholidaydrabbles prompt 'modern au' rated t wc: 765 tags: established relationship, proposal, kinda silly

-----------------------------------------------

"They're out of the cookies, sweetheart," Eddie turned to Steve as he came back from the restroom of the Wendy's.

They were still nearly six hours from home and exhausted, a little bit grumpy if Steve's silence for the last hour was anything to go by.

"I'll have a Frosty then."

"Machine's down."

Steve blinked at him before sighing.

"I guess nothing then, right? Just the burger and fries."

Eddie sighed, too.

The visit with Robin hadn't gone...well. She'd told them she was taking a year to study abroad and part of the program meant she could only come home for one week during their summer break. Steve wasn't taking it well that she'd go from being an eight hour drive away to an eight hour flight away.

He was being patient.

He knew Steve hated change like this, and he'd only been sitting with it for about 12 hours.

Eddie turned back to the cashier with a smile.

"Two number two's, one with no onions and one with no tomatoes please."

Steve was standing next to him, staring down at his phone. When Eddie looked over, he had a tab open showing the program details of Robin's study abroad track.

While they waited for their food, Eddie watched Steve biting his lip, then his thumbnail, and then his lip again.

"Stevie, what's goin' on in your head?" Eddie finally asked.

Steve shoved his phone in his pocket and looked at the floor.

"Nothin'."

"It's clearly somethin'. You worried about Robin?"

"Obviously," Steve huffed.

"Love, she's-"

"Steve Munson!"

Both of them whipped their heads back to the counter, where a woman was pushing a tray of food towards them.

Steve's wide eyes looked back at Eddie, cheeks a bright red.

Eddie walked up to grab their food, ignoring the butterflies in his stomach at the thought of Steve actually being Steve Munson.

It's not that he hadn't thought about it before; He had thought about it most days for the last year.

There was a ring in his drawer at their apartment to prove it.

"Table?" Eddie choked out, avoiding eye contact with Steve.

They were quiet as they sat down, taking their food off the tray and looking at it. Not eating, not even touching it anymore, just looking.

"Um."

"So."

They looked at each other, then back down at their food.

"Steve Munson sounds kinda nice," Eddie said hesitantly.

"Yeah?" Steve was picking at the wrapper around his burger now.

"I mean, I've thought so for a while."

"You have?"

Eddie was really about to propose in this Wendy's.

Without a ring or a real speech.

Just himself and a few old people in the corner eating chili.

"I'm gonna do this for real somewhere that isn't a Wendy's on an exit in some shitty town that has two gas stations and a Wal-Mart, but for now." He cleared his throat and reached across the table to take Steve's hand. "I dunno why they called that name, but maybe it's a sign. I love you. I know right now you're having a lot of thoughts, and you don't have to answer me. I'm not even on one knee, but really this is a Wendy's and my knee's been hurting for the entire ride. I love you. I said that already."

Steve giggled and Eddie couldn't help smiling back at him.

"I love you. I'll say it as much as you want, as long as it makes that smile happen. I'll say it when you're sad and grumpy, when you're happy and silly, when you're tired, when you're hyper. If it's okay with you, I'll scream it right here."

"In the Wendy's?"

"Yes, in the Wendy's."

Steve just nodded.

"Attention everyone! This man right here? I love him!" Eddie was saying loudly, gaining the attention of everyone around them. "And I'm asking him right now, to be my husband!"

"Sir, this is a Wendy's," an old lady sitting in the booth across from them said.

Eddie and Steve immediately started laughing.

"Well, is he sayin' yes so you'll shut up or what?" An old man said from the other end of the lobby.

Eddie looked at Steve with a smirk.

"Yeah, I'll marry you," Steve said loud enough for everyone to hear.

A couple people clapped, but for the most part, everyone went back to ignoring them.

Eddie kissed Steve softly, chastely.

"Was this a distraction from the Robin thing?" Steve asked.

"Not intentionally. Worked though."

Steve rolled his eyes fondly.

"You better make the real proposal a spectacle."

"Anything for you, my love."
