Yeah, it's fallen out of fashion because if you leave it there overnight especially bacteria can grow in it. Well, sorry to hear that. I like making homemade stuffing but I just bake it in a pan... i guess that's called dressing.
I made a bunch of stuffing not on Thanksgiving a few years ago. Was addicted to it and kept making it. But then ate it too often I got tired of it. This always happens to me though. I get excited about some food. Then I make it until I get tired of it and move on to the next thing.
Pick up a box on sale and put it in the cupboard. It’s a useful base for some chicken pieces, or to make some vegetables into a casserole. Excellent with mushrooms. (Take into account the liquid that will be released by the cooking veggies, or else saute them first, before mixing with the stuffing)
This year, instead of a whole bird, I made Turkey Balls using 2 lbs ground turkey, 2 raw eggs, stuffing mix, then sauteed onion, celery, apple, mushrooms, (let cool before adding) Chardonnay, and cool broth. I added the usual spices, keeping in mind there’s already some in the stuffing. I piled them in a lidded casserole, but you can also bake them on a sheet pan and serve with dips.
In fairness, it’s not like you see it at the store all year round to remind you. Maybe get a couple boxes to have throughout the year? It’s certainly on sale right now, or at least will be at the end of December.
Perhaps a bit of a tangent: I’m pegnant and have been craving something all day but couldn’t work out what I wanted. I tried pico de gallo, bacon, mango. No luck. Eventually I realised: it was tap water with ice. That’s all I’ve wanted all day
An “instance” is a techie way of saying it’s a copy of that thing
(disclaimer: I’m not a lemmy expert, just techie.)
A Lemmy instance is just the server where accounts and set of communities lives. e.g, Lemmy.world or Lemmy.ml, etc. Each instance can “federate” content from other instances, which is a way of publishing content to servers you otherwise wouldn’t see. You can see content and communities from other instances as well as comment on those other instances even though you don’t have an account on each one.
Fruits. I don’t have the habit of eating any fruit. It’s super unhealthy and when I do remember to buy fruit when grocery shopping, I am always surprised how good it tastes, only to forget about it for a couple more months…
I’m basically a toddler when it comes to fruit. It can sit around on the counter looking all pretty for days and I won’t touch it. But the moment my wife cuts some up, I’ll devour it.
Maybe you just need a wife who likes to chop things 🤔
Pulled pork. And then I wonder why I don’t do it more often, and then remember that I prefer homemade one, and then I realise :::: spoiler ain’t nobody got time for that :( https://i.imgflip.com/1f0umb.jpg
The French secret for brie - leave it out before you eat it. I’m talking like a day or two. It’s bland otherwise but takes on a camembert quality as it rapidly ages
I ONE TIME bought a Camembert with the plan to bake it. I very seriously thought that something was rotting in my kitchen and actually cleaned out the fridge. When I discovered that it was the cheese, I put the whole thing into a sealed container and the kitchen STILL smelled rotten.
Don’t get me wrong, that baked Camembert was amazing. But not worth the smell lol.
I like a big bowl of Rogan Gosht with some chicken biryani (my wife’s fav) and loads of naan. I’m not refined lol, just like that lamb and that chicken saffron yogurty stuff.
Cottage cheese. It just looks wrong, and there’s all different qualities of it like - no, I don’t want any . . . Oh well I’ll just have a small, tiny bite. Mmh. Not bad. Probably just a little salt here and . . Mmh. Mm hmm. Yeah. Oh. Oh! now I get the whole ‘cottage cheese’ thing . . Ooh pineapple you say . . Oh man okay yes. Yes, absolutely this is awesome. Must remember to get some more next time.
(Spoiler: does not remember to get more next time.)
Not a big fan of it myself, but the best snack ever is some kettle chips and cottage cheese as the dip. It looks weird/gross, yet every one who has tried it has loved it. I usually sprinkle some black pepper on it prior.
Green olives. None of my cooking use them as an ingredient, so once in a blue moon I remember that I like them, so I eat an entire jar with a toothpick.
I may have, I don’t know enough about olives to tell. I usually just buy the biggest jar of castrated green olives that I can find here in scandinavialand.
I make sure I always have an unopened jar. As soon as I open it, I put another jar on the shopping list. Check out some Puerto Rican dishes. Arroz con Gandules, etc. Great use of green olives in those.
I’m the exact opposite with sweet potatoes. I always forget that I don’t like them. I want to like them so badly, I mean come on, bright orange mashed potatoes! But Everytime I try to eat one I just can’t finish it. It’s weird .
Same here. I think they’re just too sweet for me, somehow? Which is odd, because I’ll eat things like acorn squash which get kinda sweet when cooked. ::shrug::
It's like fried chickpea patties or nuggets. Sort of like if you made fried hummus bread. Super good with tzatsiki (yogurt/cucumber) or tahini (sesame) sauce. Sometimes it's served in a pita with lettuce, tomatoes and sprouts.
So there’s this amazing Chinese deli in San Francisco. We eat there like twice a year and every time we say we need to eat there more. It’s not like we forget, it’s just that we’re busy. They were our main course Thursday. And then leftovers until yesterday. Godsdamn amazing char siu pork. Best I’ve ever had. I gotta order their bacon and their ribs next time.
Idk what it’s called but my wife makes this chicken and pasta that uses parm garlic sauce and its 10/10. I know my issue is we make it then I over eat it which results in me hating it for a while and then the cycle repeats
Nah, the chicken is slow cooked with the parm garlic sauce, cream cheese, some other kind of cheese, then some rigatoni. She adds a few other things as well.
