Introduction/Definition/etc

 

Following on to

CookSomeThing2019

seems as if originality

only sparks every couple years

or so, at least in the kitchen,

but will see, might be some

other different things

discovered along the way,

else life might be boring...

Original Text

 

So

mystery spill in the freezer

try to determine what is going bad now,

is it the butternut squash been there for months

on top leaking down, into the freezer door

first it was noticed on the caramels

(yeah sweets kept in there,

especially chocolates as melting problems...

but been a while since Halloween

then Valentine's time,

even Easter, which i didn't get

stuff post event even then either)

turns out looking at the rolled hamburger

from ZinebsPersonalTortureDungeon2020

after giving up on frozen chicken which

didn't look like it had lived a good live,

bruising on the ankles, etc,

dead animal,

and then chicken hot dogs,

at first constipation,

gave up on for a while,

then worried about nitrates, etc

but not been cooking much

oily mess

fry potatoes,

have to peel,

a problem if small,

slice, and then score/ W/E shaped

remember to add onions/ scallions,

and finally eggs, 6 or more,

done a dozen,

and maybe cover,

flip over carefully,

and not too long after,

as burns,

an oily mess,

kinda a breakfast, but works any

time of the day,

cast iron skillet,

likely works with other stuff,

but oil reuse, and fry a few times,,

some count better than i,

but bought 3 gallon turkey fry oil

year+ ago, so need to use up,

and only on the second one,

first peanut oil, the best, besides

olive which isn't used for that,

afaict,

then Aldi vegetable oil, mixed, soy,

etc...

with some additive,

as gets foamy when used too much

CookSomeThing2019

described the oil using up to

some

MasaCornPanFritterCake

type thing, a mix using more

Masa than Wheat based flour,

but can't seem to get away from it,,

adding canned corn, and egg,

milk, if have, and some consistency

trying for like a pancake batter like,

but variation, as not exact amounts,

trying the optimization/ determining

the best mixes, starting out,

then fall into some pattern,

the latest, is not bother cooking,

so boredom settling in,

same old same old

get base foods, little variation,

 

with spring and

Lidl2021

MoreOrLessLidl2021

and stopping by HT and

Aldi, Giant, etc

find some discounted other stuff,

clearance begging to do something with,

like adoptive stuffed animals or something

but these i end up eating,

Heinz KetChili

a Ketchup Chili Sauce mixture

cans of stuff piling up,

not used,

been saving stuff,

while buying other things,

a lot of bakery for a while,

returning carts,

get pastry/bakery,

got me through the winter,

out for a while,

FoodBooks2020

previously

HamiltonBeachBreadMaker2019

BlackAndDeckerBreadMaker2019

MetaBreadBooks2019

and IceCreamMachines2019

AldiAmbiano9In1ProgrammablePressureCooker2019

AldiAmbianoPressureCooker2019

seems as if they aren't doing the larger 8Qt

with stainless steel pot,

sadly had tried ham,

first donated at

CapitalAreaFoodBankAtArlMill2020

CAFBAtArlMill2021

then half price at Aldis,

AldiCantFind2019

AldiCantFinds2020

TriedSomeAldiCantFinds2019

 

but devices piling up too,

link no here yet,

and partially a surprise,

but not that great, or would have

done it already....

 

So in the meantime

have to do

SomeThingElse,

like Thing1, Thing2

ThingElse,

or computer

Do While

Else

If Then Else,

etc...

 

So hamburger, frozen in a roll,

in plastic, small cut and leaking

as that part of the door the seal/

weather stripping like is loose,

so had used hot dogs which

were cold, but not frozen,

solid, leaking bloody mess,

from the small tear,

finally got to starting

post Pest

where i had to yell at the guy(s)

to leave after no timely notice,

neighbors saying they had been there,

and i'd only heard at 6 am leaving out

to MoreOrLessLidl2021

post that trip,

following on,

not changing my plans, much,

out and walk 5 miles?

lost in the park,

took a bus, boring and risky

but needed the help,

took a rolling cart, so awkward,

and bored with the same walk

along high speed road,

and then looping around the park

by mistake,

not finding an exit,

follow the stream,

a Sign Road to Green Spring

the main path up,

but backtracking

a nasty woman you need to drive,

i'm not driving,

what use is the park if have to drive to it?

like Muir's Nature Museums,

the standard is out in industrialized society

and some oddly pristine but overrun

with invasive species bipeds,

going to see trees, and nature,

only the odd places preserved,

not the norm, thought later)

 

late arrival,

wondering what i would encounter

after the previous problems with

problem cashiers,

bought a bread maker,

had gotten stim check 3

and while note burning a hole

in my pocket (need to spend)

had been on my list a while,

since first visit(s),

and might eventually go away,

warm(er) weather

and less desire to bake/ heat the already

warm/ hot kitchen,

so time's a wasting...

but maybe more on that,

when get around to it,

have 3 already?

HamiltonBeachBreadMaker2019

BlackAndDeckerBreadMaker2019

and one other?

one of which is burned badly on the

inside, not the removeable (sp?) pot,

two were thrift store,

and they only work for 100? or so

bakes, so that's a couple years,

if even new, of weekly bake a loaf,

or other recipes that they do,

jam, dough mix, cakes, etc...

BreadMan is the third,

this new one a 3 Lb

and SilverCrest or whatever

Lidl branding/ buying,

so will see,

box didn't say how

much weight/ volume,

thought a spare paddle,

looked up on app,

seems like a 1.5 lb double

but turns out two mixing holes/

paddles in the bigger pot/pan,

so will see, hope it's good,

at $70 seems high to me,

but will see...

 

Running dishwasher with pot,

not found the paddle nor read the

manual(s), yet, more to do,

always, is seems...

So backlog...

 

Cast Iron Skillet

Frozen cut up to get out of the roll,

can start with frozen,

but used to a different shape,

find a spatula,

can use metal as cast iron,

and still using the dishwasher

on the skillet, a lot of build up,

especially on the bottom,

really could use oven cleaner on it

and start over, reSeasoning it,

but will see...

conductivity with the induction stovetop

AldiAmbianoInductionStoveTop2020

(might be good to finally have a page

for it, made a link name, might actually

populate it eventually, no?)

no oil necessary

the hamburger is 80% Lean

20% fat, so has some built in,

rolling it,

medium heat 274 F or similar

100 low is too little,

but will see,

 

Browning the meat,

and scraping some thawed

browned off to get down to red

and frozen, thawing by cooking,

how to make that even,

flat stuff used to, so some

scrape along like carving

a meat rotisserie?

meat on a heat spit/ stick,

but get it down to all thawed,

forgot onions, until later,

and never added,

thought i had some HamBurgerHelper,

but only found chicken,

may still have have old deer meat,

presumably, game unspecified,

now 2+? years in the freezer,

to get to, how to cook Bambi

not sure yet,

but not want to waste,

if killed already,

but beef, now piling up,

as is chicken hot dogs,

ham, taking out stuff,

turkey(s), and freezer/ electricity

problems and too much to

cook/eat/ feast on, all at once

more coming in weekly / monthly,

and assorted finds,

was putting bread in freezer,

but those have been rare,

Spring Break and volunteering

down, PandemicWareHouse2020

and their finances, and other problems,

annual survey

and they wouldn't let me,

came in and stood around,

i went over and stood there

next to them

someone saying the director

does mine, i guess writing up the place

and not get the normal questions

they can't take the bad review(s)

while likely others contributing,

doesn't seem like statistically (sp?) valid

sampling nor fair

PublicInPutProcess2021

(some time after that, while a nonprofit,

may have started taking federal money)

and got asked to say/write a few nice things

about the volunteers, for volunteers day,

i declined, seems as if the new boss

is just as nasty as the problem

ZinebsPersonalTortureDungeon2020

and allows it,

i looked up,

their annual fundraising,

moved from the Army Navy Country Club

citing space, to something i don't know,

not that I've been to ANCC either,

and at $50+ / plate/ seat,

not likely , even someone buying me

one, not a public speaker,

saying nice things isn't my style,

critical or say nothing,

about my only two modes,

not nothing to complain about,

that would be unnatural for me,

just not worth the energy,

as a depressive don't enjoy much,

so spending energy on things

must conserve to things i have to do,

occasionally want to do,

and just survive...

 

Exploring the park

being one,

taking photographs of

the decision points,

like cookie crumbs,

marking electronically where i was,

(if i remember GPS/Location On)

and start recognizing,

and season changing while i do it,

week to week with new greening

underbrush, looking very different

with some greenery,

easier when can see further

without leaves, etc,

but learning landmarks,

trail options one side of the stream

and the other, etc...

Might eventually have a nice

compilation of parks during seasons,

no snow fall really on that one,

old trails while riding, W&OD

WODAppIdear2018

long since not much done about,

animal spotting

AlphabetGame2018

and other

BBCMicroBit2017

used to count different things

on a list:

Ants,

Birds, ButterFly,

Cicada? Cricket

Deer, Dog

E_? Elephant? Egret?

Fly

Frog,

G_Goose

Heron,

(turns out Egret is a type of Heron,

and not specific enough)

PotomacHeritageTrail2021

etc

etc..

 

So make my own HamBurger Helper?

inspired by Risotto (sp?)

rice cooked like stir fry?

hot oil and kind of pop it,

wondering if pasta,

turns out Rigate

kind of big elbow macaroni

without the turn,

added can of kidney beans,

used to make chili with turkey

and a spaghetti sauce

but had a

Spatini spaghetti sauce packet,

none here, iirc,

had bought garlic recently,

but no used,

tomato, try finding a can i need an

opener, oddly some dropped and split

the easy opening ones may be a problem,

if jostled around

but taking with a can

and eating on the run,

even ate the mixed vegetables,

carrots on top, potato (need cooking?)

corn, and string? beans?

so on shaky ground,

the bait the pest guy applied

over my tomatoes and apples

piled no top of the gas stovetop

with other stuff, old sweet potatoes

spouting, and cast iron flat top,

dutch oven, french oven, etc

and

King's Hawaiian bread

(already eaten) but need the packaging,

as would want to make some of that,

a sweet bread, think i had a mix at one

point, have to check, maybe one of my first

bread machine tries?

 

So selected

diced tomatoes,

the

kidney beans

all but the sludge,

usually would drain that,

but low on liquid,

had some old water left out, day+

from drinking, so

less than a liter/litre of warm water

and the

skillet looks like it might overflow,

and pasta on top of that?

might soak up the liquid

don't have a spare stovetop

burner and don't want to waste

water, for just cooking pasta,

another pot, and learn how to do

with one pot/ skillet,

a

One Pot/Skillet Wonder

(if the pasta actually cooks enough)

so thinking

ChiliMac,

not Cincinnati (sp?),

really, but does have tomatoes

someone nearby says it'll be like

Tootsie rolls,

uncooked pasta,

al dente

i.e. requires a dentist

to fix your broken teeth,

not wanting another

MindingAndMiningYourTeeth2012

and

MobileMashDentistry2017

FreeDentalDays2017

been years now

lay off the sweets, might be longer, no?

but forging ahead,

hoping the pasta will cook

constant moving the dry pasta

to the wet areas,

trying not to overflow,

had a while back on something

after moderate success,

the first time, wonder if reproduceable (sp?),

keeping weights, of what put in,

can of this,

can of that,

brands and cut off labels,

some notes on timing,

not using the timer feature,

so 30 minutes of pasta cooking

standing over it, trying to mix it

get the dry pasta in the wet, but

not flowing over the side,

keep the lid off,

had used a big pot lid for a while,

one is chipping paint,

the other an aluminum rust

problem, part of why

i was buying new pots, to start with,

besides Aldi had them cheaply,

some work with induction

some don't labeling may say,

the ceramics one don't no metal,

and the aluminium  (sp?) don't

only one has a built in hot areas,

making a metal disk, some converters

like a stone for pizza,

this an iron disk built in the bottom,

aluminum sides and non stick finish

inside, and bought a universal lid,

fits multiple sizes, but only bought one,

gone by the time i tried the first,

it seems, or low money, more likely...

 

So keep stirring,

remembering

my mother teaching me risotto,

that i think was oil and high heat,

thinking popcorn like until done,

but stir, stir, stir,

getting a few photos along the way,

from dry to boiling,

to soupy/ slurry type thickening sauce

some has evaporated,

go into some sort of trance/

thinking on someone out west

low water, and don't want to waste,

only one pot/ skillet,

maybe the double dutch oven,

and warming by the fire,

or out at see, low water, not waste

on pasta water, single pot bachelor,

warming by the fire,

maybe a storm,

etc...

Keeping warm and busy

at the same time,

hungry have to eat,

and making a lot,

too, hungry enough to eat a whole

pot/ skillet full,

some skillets end up going into the oven,

but since mice invaded the last oven,

and not liking chemicals,

nor cleaning one, bought the

Ovens2019

AldiAmbianoTurboConvectionOven2019

haven't even tried the

DutchOvenBreadsByMarkHansen2019

bought electronic bread makers

and pressure cookers,

instead

the AllCladDutchOven2021

(add electric in there?)

still not tried,

nor the TurkeyDeepFryer2020

(correct name?)

the commercial issues in residential,

and hot oil, despite welding qualification/

training, not the same, wondering if can do

outside sometime,

rent a park pavilion or something

a new one near the dog park,

has power plug, but supplies grills,

not sure about variance/ exception

to try it finally, would be good,

or go visiting and make turkey

for others, not likely,

but another option to determine,

explore...

 

So have to calculate out the time,

eventually taste, and edible,

made it, didn't spill,

and somewhat cooked,

declaring SUCCESS,

tempted to internet search

undercooked pasta causes what illnesses?

but spoils the fun, no?

not trying to get sick,

thinking lots of camp cooking

disasters, people eat what they

brought and prepared,

rations are slim, carry in and

waste not want not,

 all rather depression era,

scarcity, but it's a pandemic,

no? despite my stocking up,

i won't call it hoarding food(s)/

cans, and if getting second shot,

some have gotten sick ,

JohnSon & JohnSon

some blood clotting people

say 6 people in 7 million

i was imagining myself as one of them,

if bad luck i'd be the one to have it,

the abusive pest and maintenance guy

on the 13th without adequate notice,

AprilFoolsDay2021

i seem to recall 48 hour notice,

unless an emergency and

someone likely took my pocket knife

missing for days,

somehow returned while stuck elsewhere,

illegal entry again, they came in,

didn't knock very loudly,

like sneaking in, and not said maintenance,

so ignoring as a neighbor/kids

soliciting though posted,

many do anyways, political and

Verizon being most, but not all,

i eventually put pants back on,

they had opened the door by then,

cleared the door history, of their

previous illegal entry, i've got a

do not enter on my maintenance

record(s), they ignore(d),

harassment continues,

previous week notice,

someone came in while i was down,

can't do this, third company,

one was Orkin? known for killing

elderly in rural Virginia, with Fumigant(s)?

termites, iirc, and tried another,

this being 4th?

PestNow, avoid them,

he's a young black guy,

which seemed ok to start,

i poke my head around the side

from the bedroom door,

he had bait/ caulk guy raised

like a machine gun,

bait, he corrects gel,

(i'm already thinking arrogant prick

goes with the age, i guess

likely primed by maintenance)

go ahead, i say,

you've been here before or similar,

thinking on the last few days/ week

visit,

i mention the lack of sufficient notice

i want to see where it's applied,

so i can avoid it, i add,

one guy had thought i was seeking

poison, the misconceptions/

stigma is amazing and people

get certification/ licensed from VTech

so the same TheShortOfIt

and a recent problem guy of similar

appearance haranguing (sp?) stalking

and threatening on return from

PotomacHeritageTrail2021

 

i find the mask used earlier in the day,

came back exhausted, pollen and bus

get that layer off, not put on bedding,

eat something

(like whole brick Monterey Jack cheese),

and back down,

charging devices,

determine distances,

forgot one of the SmartWatches

AldiiTouchWearAblesAirSESmartWatch2020

rushing out, packing quickly, slow start,

usually predawn, like now,

senior / CDC day early, again?

 

save a bowl of it,

had the caramel bowl and lid,

reused that,

 

So try the KetChili

too Sirachi? hot chili

not going to like that,

but a little bit in each to use

 up, like the Horacchi (sp?)

very hot chili,

got used up eventually,

What's Missing?

just the jist of it

 

What Can Be Found?

 

ideas

mess

 

What Can Not Be Found?

 

How To Analyze?

 

Lenses

 

Noob

Probably a lot easier to buy

a can of something prepared,

even the microwave little things,

but careful with them, get hot,

and sharps on the lid(s)/edge(s)...

 

Kids

Not sure trying cooking is

a good idear, especially unsupervised,

sharps, hot,

reading and following instructions,

etc

And worse yet,

who has to clean up

the messes?

/explain to the fire department,

EMS/ Ambulance,

insurance company, etc...

 

Dis/Dys

Graphic

generally can't draw graphics,

not illustrating this and take photos,

video, so less of a problem,

but trying to read someone

else's recipe and follow box instructions

sometimes a problem,

like seeing later the Garlic bought

is Garlic MUSTARD...

not minced garlic

and the Heinz KetChili is

VERY HOT SPICY

down on two of the three

clearance items...

Third is Ranch salad dressing,

maybe something to do with the

tomatoes besides just Whipped

on bread (out of)...

 

 

Assumptions

 

Learning something,

usually the hard way,

but seems to have turned out ok,

so far...

 

Creativity takes different forms,

munging words/ destroying

sentence structure,

and punctuation!@?#!$

only minor offenses to sensibilities,

but eating something created

and say ending up in the bathroom

having cramps for day+ or something

that takes dedication/ stupidity,

food poisoning likelihood lessened as

beef browned well to start,

other stuff canned,

or boxed, pasta is wheat based,

and likely some sensitivity to that...

 

Time Limits

 

hamburger in freezer,

not frozen, enough that it leaks,

but cold, refrigerator cold,

 

weekly new staples, same stuff

different week,

trips out to DisCount/ Clearance

shelves, finding other stuff

to try, for variety,

and monthly

Likely more relate to this,

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

Success, of sorts,

did something different,

while similar too,

guided by experience with

risotto,

and my mother's teaching me,

i think she had intended it for a date/

girlfriend/ future wife type of thing,

shows dedication or something,

but learning survival skills,

eat up before spoil,

losing vegetables,

had tried a tomato with

Whipped Dressing,

(variant of Salad Dressing/

Mayo?) with the

Hawaiian (Sweet) Bread

not bad, but not ripe,

wait a few days, but need to

remember to check and likely

spoiled by the time i get back to it,

usually happens with fresh

vegetables/ fruits...

 

and takes a long cooking time,

some meditative

and first time's a charm,

interesting doing new things,

but might get boring,

can't reproduce like

CookSomeThing2019

sometimes...

 

Will, see,

or not,

don't know

Discussion

 

A place for feedback on the page presented

 

What different things have you tried

in the kitchen?

Was it supervised,

say by a parent/

teacher/ caregiver?

 

How do you know

if it will make you sick?

How sick?

Have you been taught food safety?

Can you look it up?

 

Eventually, it's a science,

and a theory and have to try

and practice/ experiment,

no?

Why?

Why Not?

 

Is that what chef's do?

how to know?
