#or to cook some marinade to turn it into a sauce that doesn't still have raw meat germs in it

[blujayonthewing]

hi, is this guy telling me to put the marinade that had the raw meat in it directly on top of the finished dish. and then eat it

#re-reading this recipe three times looking for where it says to reserve some marinade before putting raw meat in it #or to cook some marinade to turn it into a sauce that doesn't still have raw meat germs in it #hm. hm. #this recipe also calls for rice wine and sake separately #not that there aren't other rice wines but my brother in christ can you be more specific #I'm gonna try it with mirin which will probably be good and also is what 1) I already have 2) I can get at the grocery store other than sak #ALSO furikake is like... a whole category of seasoning. it comes in a ton of different varieties lmao #me: oh 'Gourmet's furikake' ? is that a specific mix he tells you how to make somewhere in the book? [it is not] #this book is very beautiful to look at but a lot of the recipes are somehow both weirdly pretentious and surprisingly unhelpful #'here's the recipe that in-game is made by setting apples on fire :) first take your vanilla sugar--' bro you are doing too much.

Cooking with Kraid.

Are you looking for the kind of person who treats cooking like an art form? Who only uses the freshest of ingredients, makes their own seasonings & sauces, will marinade a hamburger pattie overnight, obsesses over every single little detail as if they're afraid they'll be drawn and quartered if they screw it up? Well, you're looking in the wrong place cause what I am is a lazy, foul mouthed mother fucker who has spent years figuring out how to put as little work as possible into cooking while still getting results that's better than what I can buy out of the grocer's freezer.

Still here? Okay then, let's do this.

Today's recipe: Vegetable Soup w/ Polish Kielbasa.

Okay, we're looking at about a half an hour of work here with three hours, give or take, of keeping an eye on things while simmering.

Okay, we're going to need a few things for this:

Potatoes

An onion

Other vegetables (carrots, corn, okra, peas, whatever you like) (fresh, frozen, canned, it doesn't really matter)

Polish Kielbasa

A couple cans of tomato soup

A tablespoon of salt

Three dixie cups of water (about 6 measured cups, I think)

Maybe some rice or pasta

Okay, so the first thing we're gonna do is put the water in a pot big enough to hold all this stuff and turn it on to boil. While it's heating up we're gonna slice up the Kielbasa into whatever you'd call thick sliced pepperoni. Then we're gonna throw it in the water, whether it's reached boiling point or not. When it does reach boiling point we're gonna set a 10 minute timer. This is important, because if we don't boil the sausage before adding the other stuff, we'll end up with this strong metallic taste that just fucks up everything.

While we're waiting on the boiling, let's go ahead and be peeling & slicing up our onion, potatoes and any other fresh veggies we brought to the table.

Now when the timer goes off, we're gonna add all the fresh veggies to the pot. If we have any frozen ones we're gonna add them too. Then we're gonna be opening up our canned goods while waiting for the pot to come back to a boil.

Now that it's boiling, we're gonna add our canned veggies and the tomato soup and we're gonna stir it all up real good while waiting for it to come back to a boil. It shouldn't take near as long this time, unless we dumped like a dozen cans in there or something.

If we're cooking it on the stove top then we put the lid (or a plate, whatever) on the pot, reduce the heat to low, and set a time for about 3 hours. We'll then need to come back and stir it a little bit every half our or so, otherwise it'll burn along the bottom. And once we get to the last hour, we'll need to stir it every 15~20 minutes.

We can also use a crock pot, which will take longer but doesn't need to be stirred every so often. We just need to get our crock pot out and let it be heating up while we're doing all the work. Then we just dump the stove pot into the crock pot after adding the canned veggies and bring back to a boil. And we need to be extra careful to avoid scalding ourselves when transferring from the stove pot to the crock pot, cause that shit hurts for fucking hours! Finally we set a 4 to 5 hour timer and just kinda fuck off until it's done.

Right now I'm trying it in the Dutch oven, in the oven. I'll update on how that turns out.

Update: it turned out just fine. 300f for about 3 hours.

Notes, Alterations, etc.

The beauty of this recipe is that if there's anything in it that we don't like, we can just leave that shit out. And if there's anything missing that we would like in it, we just add that shit in. Pretty easy to figure out when to throw it in, too. Not a good idea to omit the onion, though. Or the tomato soup, though tomato sauce and a bucket of salt would probably work in its place. No green beans.

A good way to tell if it's done or not is to look for the onions. If we can still see them, then it's not done and we'll need to adjust our timer accordingly.

Okra is good in it - and would've been in it if I could've found some in my freezer - but keep in mind that the more okra we add, the more slimy our soup will be in the end.

We peel our potatoes. This isn't like baking or frying, we do not want those hulls in our soup. We've learned from our past mistakes.

Seriously, no green beans. They're the product of the devil and they should be banished from the Earth like the abomination they are.

I know I said fresh, frozen or canned doesn't matter, but maybe don't use canned potatoes. I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine that working out too well. If you do try it, lemme know how it works out, I promise not to judge you. I will judge the hell out of you if you add green beans, though.

That red, plastic cup you can see in a couple of the photos is what I mean by dixie cup. I think that one's actually a Walmart brand one though, or a dollar general one. Definitely a store brand cup.
