• 'Fried rice' 11Jan2024

    From cshenk@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jan 12 23:17:47 2024

    This is a quick dish we make pretty often. Never the same twice as
    it's based mostly on leftovers. I didn't actually measure anything but
    I'll give a rough idea of percentages used.

    2.5 cups leftover white rice (mix of long and medium)
    1/2 large red bell pepper
    2 cloves thin slivered garlic
    3 eggs, scrambled
    2 stalks mustard greens, chopped 1/2-1/3 inch thick
    3-4 TB butter
    2 TB olive oil

    and leftovers of
    1/4 c eggdrop soup
    1/3 c chicken chow mein
    3 TB vegetable egg foo young cake

    The top part is vegetarian and stands alone just fine. Add other
    vegetables at will. Can add to the protein by adding nuts or choice
    (pine nuts are optimal!) and/or a handful of cooked beans such as
    black, red adzuki, lima, or pink beans. Replce butter with other oil
    for vegan.

    With leftovers used, is low-meat but really nice way to use up bits and
    pieces of savory foods.

    Way too much oil/fat and the wrong kinds.

    and leftovers of
    1/4 c eggdrop soup
    1/3 c chicken chow mein
    3 TB vegetable egg foo young cake

    That goes in the fried rice!?!? Who saves a 1/4 cup of soup and
    1/3rd cup of chicken chow mein? And to put in fried rice of all
    things? Fried rice should be fairly dry, not swimming in greezy
    soup. That ain't fried rice....

    No curry powder?

    My favorite stuff to add to fried rice is kim chee. OTOH, I should not be eating rice. Rice
    is murder on my blood glucose level. That's okay - I only eat about 25 grains of rice.
    I've got half a Costco chicken in the slow cooker. I was going to make a chicken soup
    but I'm feeling really lazy so I'll probably make jook instead. A woman gave me some ginger
    that she grew. She said it was really hot so I'm going to make some spicy jook. Oh yeah,.
    Pork fried rice is always great with a side of sweet & sour soup and an order of BBQ spare ribs (which are always pork - I didn't know that).

    I had some scallop fried rice from the Jade Dynasty restaurant. Boy that's good. They used dried scallops which intensifies the scallop flavor. We'll probably eat there again soon. I'll be sure to get that and the egg custard tarts.
    Lunch today was jook. I was checking out recipes for jook on the internet. The recipe I saw was totally bogus - too much rice and not enough broth. I just hate shit like that.

    I guess some things taste better than they look.

    Dinner tonight was a pie, I guess. My wife and son called it a "shepard's pie." That was a surprise. Ya gotta love that corn!

    Corn (and its Roundup) seem to have deeply penetrated into your
    island.

    Too bad on the BG spikes. The kimchee fried rice wouldn't work for Don
    now but I'd like it!

    Post your jook recipe? I'm used to it as Juk or the related 'rice
    porridge' you've seen me post about.

    There's a lot of variation in them and Hawaii seems to have it's own
    variation.

    Here's a Korean one. (one of many)

    I just make a chicken or turkey broth and add some rice in the slow cooker and forget about it. Don't forget the ginger! I also added Chinese secret weapon: Knorr Chicken Powder.

    That sounds very sad.

    You see sadness and negativity everywhere you look. It's not a good position to be in.
    I prefer to see the bright side of life.

    A great cuisine like one of the Chinese cuisines and an industrial
    powder from Knorr is supposed to be the secret weapon?

    Very sad indeed - for you. As it goes, I have no control over Chinese cooks so your sadness cannot be abated. Only you have control over that. I hesitate to mention this but I also have a Korean secret weapon: beef powder. My understanding is that the
    Korean love this stuff - and so do I. Sorry.

    Don't worry. Your preference for crappy ingredients was already well
    documented in RFC.

    No! That's called Burnt Cream in English or more correctly
    Cambridge Burnt Cream, a speciality of Trinity College.
    In fact there's good evidence to the claim that the dish was
    invented in England and not France.

    My guess is that your food just makes people sad. They can probably taste your bitterness with every bite.

    Do you ever wonder why you have diabetes? Because you eat so much
    crap.

    That's a matter of taste. I'm not wild about either one, but I
    slightly prefer corn. It rarely comes up, since my husband will
    not eat peas. He even picks them out of pullao. I don't get it;
    they're pretty mild and inoffensive. But he likes what he likes,
    and I'm not his mother so I don't try to make him eat anything he
    doesn't want to. It's more inconvenient that he won't eat mushrooms.

    This will be an interesting situation as Google groups shuts down and
    gmail users won't have that access to news groups. It has been the
    haven for a number of nymshifting twits, many of whom have been
    filtered by the relatively sane users. I can picture some of them
    reappearing with new user names. That will give them a chance to
    resurrect themselves as reasonably civil identities. I have to wonder
    how long they will be able to maintain the facade before they betray
    their inner obnoxious characters and end up right back in the filters
    they inhabited before.
    On the bright side.... I may be able to go through my filters and remove
    all those gmail nyms.

    In your case, it is.
    We went to the Korean market yesterday. My wife needed to eat some kim chee soup. Boy, did she ever get it - that bowl was packed with kim chee! That's the way it goes, sometimes the kitchen needs to jettison excess kim chee. Into the soup pot it goes.
    The market was selling big bags of corn chips. Korean corn chips are different from American corn chips. It was only $2.99. Unfortunately, I was low on cash and was saving my dough to pay for my club dues at a meeting later on in the evening.
    As it goes, I didn't need to do that because I didn't go to the meeting. I felt the high winds would mean canceling the meeting. My friend called me from the restaurant. Ha ha, the electricity went out and there was no food. They were sitting there in
    the dark. Had I known that he would be there, I would have definitely gone. Meeting in the dark and cold with those guys would have been my idea of fun!

    You see sadness and negativity everywhere you look. It's not a good position to be in. I prefer to see the bright side of life.

    A great cuisine like one of the Chinese cuisines and an industrial
    powder from Knorr is supposed to be the secret weapon?

    Very sad.

    We already know your opinion on foods and specifically on the Knorrs

    opportunity presents itself though. It's not a dish that I plan on
    making. The opportunity presented itself when we bought the Costco
    chicken. We had some for lunch, and I made a couple of sandwiches
    with the chicken breast. The remainder of the chicken was put in the
    slow cooker. The next day, the meat was removed from the bones. There
    was too much meat so the breast was stuck in the refrigerator and
    I'll be making chicken salad with some grapes and apples. It'll be
    enough for a couple of sandwiches. The jook was breakfast for
    yesterday and today. That was a lot of meals for a 5 buck chicken.
    Hopefully, that chicken had a wonderful life. He sure enriched ours.

    Yes! Good use of the chicken!

    Jook/Juk is never the same in 2 households, and seldom unique to even
    the same house as it's not really a set recipe. Very much the kin of
    the thicker 'rice porridge' filled with seafoods and vegetable. Yours
    loosely from the link is a variation of Gai Jook.

    On the dried shiitake, expensive on the mainland but Japan. Next time,
    take some of the water used to make broth but use cold to rinse well
    then warm to soak for about 15-30 minutes (how long depends on
    thickness) Remove stem either before or after soaking. Chop
    reconstituted mushroom then add the water to the rest as part of the
    broth.

    Use stems in recipes where a stick blender fits into the recipe, or
    with them minced fine and add 2-3tb broth and stick blend, or add to
    food processor with other things to blend. That 'fish paste' in Hawaii
    that comes from an onolishous boney fish, mixed with the stems and
    processed with fresh 'alimentary paste' (flour, water, egg noodle base
    but used as a paste fresh instead of noodles). Glorious fishballs for
    the steamer!

    Very sad indeed - for you. As it goes, I have no control over Chinese

    that. I hesitate to mention this but I also have a Korean secret

    Duh.

    'corn hole' dates back to the 1400's Europe and was also a Native
    American game. Both involved using a bag or animal bladder filled with
    dried grain, beans or Americas corn. They were thrown at a board with
    a hole and you scored a point if your tossed bag went through the hole.

    I played it as a kid in kindergarden. It is otherwise known as 'bean
    toss' or 'bean bag toss' outside of the south in the USA.

    You are correct, a dried corn cob.

    I had to chuckle when I first heard about that new<?> game called corn
    hole. I had only heard that expression in reference to anal sex.

    It's a weird game where people toss little bags filled with dried corn
    onto raised wooden platforms and try to get the bags of corn through the

    My feeling is that fear mostly keeps people from growing more than it keeps people safe. Your idea of some food being "crap" fits nicely into your view of a world where people and places are "crap." There's a big world out there and mostly you're afraid
    of it. Is there anything that you're not ascared of?

    I'm not scared of crap food. But it's good if people have an idea of
    what they're eating, so they have a choice. You make it way too big.

    I spot trends by observing what's going around me.

    A tiny fraction of the population. Duly noted.

    If you want numbers, I can't give you numbers. That's the breaks. Feel free to ignore me.

    In a few weeks, I won't have to.

    I've seen more products that contain MSG. Things are loosening up
    in MSGland. The boomers won't eat the stuff but the kids will.

    They won't? I have a damned container of MSG on my shelf.

    The younger generation is getting more into Asian food. This means
    that they're learning about MSG. That's just the way things are.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp_ICMRZz6o

    I like glutamate, inosinate, and guanylate. I prefer them to be
    native to the foods I eat. For one thing, in the wild those chemicals
    are accompanied by a bunch of other tasty flavors.

    Oddly enough, I did buy some snacks today. It was Japanese kine stuffs. Mostly it was tiny fried crabs and fish bones. It was making something out of nothing. It could have used more heat in the mix.

    It's actually older. In Europe with bean bags and American Natives
    with corn or beans (predates Columbus arrival).

    Seems survives south of the mason-dixon line. Might be a bit easterly centered? It surprised me when the largly Northern folks didn't
    recognize it right away.

    The little fish are niboshi. Often served warm at bars by heating a
    little oil with salt and schimi (Japanese inexpensive blend of dried
    powdered chiles). Toss the niboshi in the pan and flip them about for
    a short time.

    Bruce evidently knows nothing about cooking of any cuisine as evinced
    by his compleye failure to post anything but lists of ingredients and
    inanely think anyone here cares.

    On dashi, for ages I made it from scratch but I didn't find Ajinomoto
    (sp?) dashi powder until later. The only advantage in scratch is you
    can rebalance the dried fish to seaweed components. I use the powder
    now. Quick enough for me! If I want to rebalance it, I can add bits
    of what I wanted more of to a tea-ball and simmer for a bit.

    Dashi trick, use the stems of your dried shiitake, crushed a bit in a
    tea-ball, to your dashi (can be same concentrate you use) and simmer
    about 10 minutes then taste.

    Anyway, at least I learn something in RFC. Want to cook Chinese food?
    Start by buying Knorr Chicken Powder! There ain't no Chinese cooking

    Do you have any evidence to support your claim?

    He may not but I have some from my 'Frugal Kitchen'. The younger
    generations aren't often into making things like broth from a chicken
    carcass. It takes too long and frequently they don't have the right
    gear. They aren't the only ones using boxed broths.

    I asked a few questions so I could target audiences better. 9 people
    responded to the 'uder 30' set. 7 used some version of broth powder
    and 2 used boxed broths augmented by powdered versions. I know it's a
    small sample but when they added a 'why' it was mostly cost and storage
    space. Broth powders win on both counts.

    Cooking implements also varied by age with older members having amassed
    a larger number (reasonable given they had longer). Crockpots are far
    more common among the '40 and up crowd' while under 30's center on fast multi-use appliances. Instapots. air fryers, sandwich makers that
    double for waffles etc.

    Under 40, dramatic rise in not having been taught to do more than basic
    boiling or microwaving at home growing up. Result of dual earning
    parents. Most of those who knew more, were taught by Grandparents or
    raised and taught by Grandparents.

    I don't consider any of this surprising. Probably most of us kind of
    knew it already.

    Here is a surprise. Under 30 set are apt to get bread machines as
    their first 'fancy appliance'. This was a good bit driven by costs as
    the mark up on bread is really high. 2lbs of store bread sets you buy
    will set you back 7$ (not even a fancy one). Made at home, fancy ones
    will cost about 1$ for 2lbs. Several locally are doing a small
    side-gig by selling home made 1lb loaves for 2$ each.

    Yes, but in addition to the Frugal Kitchen, I run the Frugal Baker
    group so I asked. Results have me do a double calculation (regular
    plus all organic). The younger set tend to want all organic.

    Chuckle, one is a bit ditzy and was looking for organic salt....

    Anyways, I use the results to help target the 2 groups to what people
    like. Some are more advanced, some very simple. Impressive looking
    but only beginner skills needed and so on.

    David has a bread machine. I think Graham does too? Not used as much
    for Graham but in the largely defunct bread makers newsgroup it got
    mentioned long ago. That or a doughhook setup? It was a long time ago.

    Lol! I have a Zojirushi (Zoji is the common nickname). That's a top
    of the line dual paddle horiztal vs vertical unit. I don't think Jill
    has much use for a yeast bread machine. She's an excellent baker but
    more oriented to pastry, cornbreads and such. In fact she's recently

    Yes, but in addition to the Frugal Kitchen, I run the Frugal Baker
    group so I asked. Results have me do a double calculation (regular
    plus all organic). The younger set tend to want all organic.

    Careful, this is difficult for many of the RFC boomers to cope with.

    It is, and it's quite popular around my region. Typically, around here,
    door knobs were thrown into the holes in the boards, and it was called
    "door knob toss". I'd imagine because misshapen or other rejected door
    knobs were tossed from the potteries, and kids turned them into a game, probably around the great depression.

    It can. The microwave is quick and convenient. In 2.5 minutes,
    I can cook my oatmeal in the same bowl in which I eat it without
    clattering around on the stove, which would wake my husband.

    We don't microwave a lot of things, but it's handy to have.

    People who eat those frozen meal thingies pretty much rely on it.
    I'm sure my mother would starve without her microwave.

    I could do without it but don't want to. I make sausage patties in a

    future days. I take them out and nuke them 30 seconds.

    Went to my son's for dinner and brought home Shepard's pie. Nuked it
    for dinner tonight.

    I don't do a lot of cooking with it but great for frozen veggies.

    I use mine nearly all the time - doesn't make sense to use all that
    power to use regular oven - the other day I cooked some cabbage the
    old fashioned way in a pan and it didn't taste nearly as good as
    nuked. I think perhaps too many people try nuking veggies and
    overcook them so judge by that. Nutritionally you lose less value

    I am in the same boat. I have made bread in the past and it was good. I
    just don't eat much bread. I go through about a half dozen dinner rolls
    and less than one loaf of bread a week. I go to the local baker and get
    a loaf of sliced bread and then freeze it. I might use a couple slices
    for a sandwich when I get home and then throw it in the freezer. I know
    it won't be as good after being frozen and then thawed, but it will be a
    lot better than home made that has been sitting around for a week.

    Many users don't take the time to learn some tricks that make them more
    useful. Lower power settings, standing time are two usually missed.

    Microwaves use electromagnetic radiation to stimulate the molecules in
    the food to generate heat. Once the power stops, they continue to cook
    for up to half the original time.

    Most foods will reheat better at about 50% power.

    As an aside, what is the seemingly longest time of your life? Waiting
    60 seconds for the MW to reheat your coffee. Feels like an hour.

    things i regularly make i know the amounts and settings
    and can walk away after i get things set up and up to
    temperature. oatmeal i like very well cooked and with a
    certain texture so i have it very dialed in. the last
    part of the cooking i can go do something else for those
    minutes. i like that about microwaves that once i have
    the recipe and procedure down it works (until we need a
    new microwave :) )...

    In Europe, the potato was initially grown mainly as a decorative plant, because of its flowers. Then it was used as animal feed and deemed not fit for human consumption. Like other members of the nightshade family, such as the tomato and the eggplant,
    the potato was considered poisonous and a source of leprosy, but after a famine in northern France toward the end of the 18th century, it was adopted as a staple food. This was mainly due to Antoine-Augustin Parmentier, a pharmacist and agronomist, who
    was taken prisoner by the Prussians during the Seven Years’ War and forced to eat a diet of potatoes while in captivity. Realizing that he had neither caught leprosy nor been poisoned, he recommended the use of potatoes as a food to stave off the
    famine in northern France. The potato had several advantages: It was cheap, it did not spoil easily, and it satiated hunger. Potato flour could also be used instead of wheat flour to make bread...

    Let me throw Jonas Alströmer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_Alstr%C3%B6mer) into the mix who
    was responsible for cultivating and bringing the potato to the masses
    in sweden.

    Don't know about prussia, but prussia and sweden are not that far so

    Buying a microwave based on size is very poor value. Power is more
    important. I actually read the book that came with mine and then
    experimented til I had it cooking what I wanted, how I wanted. Doesn't
    require much skill, is far faster and in general (such as veggies)
    does a far better job than diluting the veggies good ingredients

    lot better than home made that has been sitting around for a week.

    I freeze the in-store bakery sliced bread I buy and use a maybe a couple
    of slices per week, sometimes not even that. Dinner rolls? Not really.
    I did buy a bag of sourdough rolls last month and put them in the
    freezer. I haven't used any of them yet. This "princess" has no need
    for a bread maker nor a stand mixer with dough hooks or any other gadget

    think Jill has much use for a yeast bread machine. She's an

    In fact she's recently posted some really nice cornbread.

    (sigh) You're replying to a troll. What is it about them calling me
    "princess" that doesn't tip you off? This one keeps modifying their

    Unlike you, I give people a trial time.

    A "trial time"? Name calling doesn't bother you? Nor the message

    You're right about one thing, I don't have much of a use for a bread
    machine. I have certainly baked many yeast breads from scratch but I
    don't eat enough bread to make it worth my time, much less needing a
    bread machine. I mostly make quick batter breads. I do not make
    pastry.

    Jill

    Pie shells? Could be you buy them. I do, it's just not something I
    like to do. Done a few out of curiosity and that was enough. Made
    pasta a few times for the same reason.

    Of course I buy pie crusts. I don't have any inclination to deal with
    pastry or pie crusts.

    I am in the same boat. I have made bread in the past and it was good.
    I just don't eat much bread. I go through about a half dozen dinner
    rolls and less than one loaf of bread a week.
    I go to the local baker and get a loaf of sliced bread and  then
    freeze it. I might use a couple slices for a sandwich when I get home
    and then throw it in the freezer. I know it won't be as good after

    If she and her husband are eating a lot of bread there may be a benefit
    to using a bread maker or baking bread. I see no point in making bread
    and having that nice fresh stuff go stale long before I will use it up.
    FWIW I grew up with home made bread. I appreciate the taste and texture
    of nice fresh home made bread. That is likely why I have no use for
    factory made bread.

    Your loss, but, like the bread, it is probably not worth it for just

    Agree on a quiche, but on a peach or apple pie, a good crust is
    important. You won't get one on a store bought.

    Different brand but same idea. It was OK for a PBJ though.

    I also had a really good rye bread from a couple of different Polish

    I am amazed that they still make that stuff and that people buy it. I
    think that in the last five years I have bought only one or two loaves
    of bread in a grocery store, and that was because my regular baker was
    on vacation and I was desperate.

    I am not thrilled with the flavour of caraway. It is easily overdone. I
    prefer rye without it. That being said, it is tasty in Aquavit.

    for the price of a trip you could have a bread machine
    that would make it for you. ingredients are available,
    many recipes to try, etc.

    when i was making bread regularly in the rotation of
    recipes was mine for pumpernickle, dark, dark, very full
    of flavor, key ingredients, molasses, coffee, cocoa, and
    saurkraut, rye flour, yeasties...

    i rarely let the machine actually bake the bread though,
    instead i let it do the first and second kneading for me
    and the first. then i would take it out and put it in a
    regular baking pan and finish it in the oven after proofing.

    modern bread machines may have gotten around the issue
    which made me always want to proof and bake them myself
    but i've not looked into that in recent times... we are
    not eating a lot of bread these days - i've pretty much
    switched to eating crackers unless Mom bakes some cracked
    wheat bread.

    Correct. You need the right starter and in some bakeries it goes back
    years. It is not baked in a pan either.

    Actually, he could order it from Zingerman's Bakehouse.

    https://www.zingermansbakehouse.com/products/jewish-rye-bread/

    There is caraway seed in it, but it's ground up. I don't find it
    overpowering.

    I'm off to the bakehouse this afternoon for my semi-weekly
    Rustic Italian Round. And a cupcake for my husband. And
    perhaps a parmesan and prosciutto croissant for me.

    Different brand but same idea. It was OK for a PBJ though.

    I also had a really good rye bread from a couple of different Polish

    for the price of a trip you could have a bread machine

    Sure you could get a bread machine, but IMO bread machine bread is third

    good as real home made or bakery bread.


    when i was making bread regularly in the rotation of
    recipes was mine for pumpernickle, dark, dark, very full
    of flavor, key ingredients, molasses, coffee, cocoa, and

    i rarely let the machine actually bake the bread though,
    instead i let it do the first and second kneading for me
    and the first. then i would take it out and put it in a
    regular baking pan and finish it in the oven after proofing.

    modern bread machines may have gotten around the issue
    which made me always want to proof and bake them myself
    but i've not looked into that in recent times... we are
    not eating a lot of bread these days - i've pretty much

    That's it. It's better and cheaper than supermarket bread, but it
    can't compare with real bread.

    Correct. You need the right starter and in some bakeries it goes back
    years. It is not baked in a pan either.

    you mean a sour dough starter and bake on a flat,
    anyone can do that.

    It's a lot more work than using a bread machine and gives a much

    Yes, the standard loaf we make has 18 sliced. 14 a week are used in

    True but some just don't eat much bread. Serously though, any family
    that uses 14 slices a week, will get a big savings out of a bread
    machine.

    when i was making bread regularly in the rotation of
    recipes was mine for pumpernickle, dark, dark, very full
    of flavor, key ingredients, molasses, coffee, cocoa, and
    saurkraut, rye flour, yeasties...

    Right now a batch of large buutermilk buns going, spiced with Italian seasonings and with added Parmesean. Made garlic butter to match.

    1/2 stick softened salted butter
    4 cloves fine minced garlic

    Mix and store up to 2 weeks in the fridge.


    i rarely let the machine actually bake the bread though,
    instead i let it do the first and second kneading for me
    and the first. then i would take it out and put it in a

    Normal. Most folks do that after a bit. Maybe not all the time, but
    pretty often.

    You must mean the paddle hole. Many have a 'pause' button you can use
    to remove paddle(s). I haven't seen one without 'dough mode' in a long
    time though.

    From experience. Are you really saying that bread machine bread is as
    good as fully hand-made bread, bread from an artisanal bakery or

    Yes, and in your case while occasionally you generate chicken bones it

    I just went shopping (normally it's Thursday for senior's discount) as

    There is caraway seed in it, but it's ground up. I don't find it
    overpowering.

    I'm off to the bakehouse this afternoon for my semi-weekly
    Rustic Italian Round. And a cupcake for my husband. And
    perhaps a parmesan and prosciutto croissant for me.


    You can order for pickup, not shipping. They have one without caraway too.

    I thought they had shipping. Maybe only at Christmas.


    I did not see it but following your link I was able to order one. Not
    cheap, but I'm worth it.

    $10 for a loaf of bread plus shipping charges but you don't know that amount until you create an account. No thanks.

    Sure, anyone can.  But 9 out of 10 are second rate when it comes to a
    good rye.

    I grew up with home made white bread and occasional whole wheat, all
    home made. My best friend was German and I his family usually had rye
    bread of various darkness. It was mostly Roggenbrot and commercially
    made. It was years before I encountered good bakery made dark rye.
    There was a world of difference between that and the rye bread I was
    used to.

    The difference is, you have to have chicken [bones] on hand to make
    broth or stock. I use boxed stock or broth in small quantities and
    it works perfectly well for most of the things I cook.

    Yes, and in your case while occasionally you generate chicken bones it
    seems (just from frequency of comments) it's more likely to be boneless breast. Lately, Don and Have done a fair amount of that.

    I don't actually use chicken bones to make broth. I haven't made a pot
    of chicken & dumplings in a while but that's about the only reason I'd
    wind up with chicken bones. When I do make it I buy chicken leg
    quarters and simmer them with seasonings just covered in water. The
    meat is still on the bones.

    The thing is, once you remove the meat from the simmered bones then try
    to use only the bones to make broth, the bones are pretty much depleted.
    Onion or not, you simply can't make a good broth from chicken bones
    that have already been cooked.

    I just went shopping (normally it's Thursday for senior's discount) as
    we were low on some things. I snagged 2 medium boneless breasts on
    markdown. Stirfry uses as cut up it cooks at the right timing.

    Sounds like you got a good deal. :)

    I can get French bread at the Japanese bakery. It's great for a short while. The next day, it's pretty bad.
    That's typical for French bread. No butter, no oil and no other
    additive that preserves the bread longer. French people buy their
    bread fresh every day.
    Here's the store bread that I like to buy. That loaf will stay edible for an incredibly long time.

    https://saraleebread.com/our-breads/artesano-bread
    "without artificial colors, flavors and preservatives and free from
    high fructose corn syrup"

    But it contains soybean oil. That will help preserve it. And it
    contains calcium propionate (to preserve freshness), monoglycerides,
    datem, soy lecithin, and citric acid. These ingredients are used in
    small amounts to improve the texture and shelf life of the bread.

    French bread doesn't cheat.

    Americans don't buy bread every day. What the heck is wrong with soybean oil? It's cheap and plentiful. I'm making a loaf at the moment with more oil and some vinegar. I'd rather add citric acid but I couldn't find the bag.

    Doesn't soybean oil make you grow tits? Or maybe you already have
    tits.

    I remember staying in a village in France around the year 2000. There
    were no shops, no restaurants, no bars and half the village had been
    abandoned over time. But at around 7 in the morning, the baker
    arrived, selling fresh bread from their van. I don't know if it's
    still like that, but fresh daily bread used to be a big deal in
    France.

    How would you know?

    I don't have any problem with bread machines. I just make a simple Italian bread. I don't mess with the other loaves.

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/oQoHXNMEaA5H4iiW6
    Beats supermarket bread, by the look of it.

    I can get French bread at the Japanese bakery. It's great for a short while. The next day, it's pretty bad.
    That's typical for French bread. No butter, no oil and no other
    additive that preserves the bread longer. French people buy their
    bread fresh every day.
    Here's the store bread that I like to buy. That loaf will stay edible for an incredibly long time.

    https://saraleebread.com/our-breads/artesano-bread
    "without artificial colors, flavors and preservatives and free from
    high fructose corn syrup"

    But it contains soybean oil. That will help preserve it. And it
    contains calcium propionate (to preserve freshness), monoglycerides,
    datem, soy lecithin, and citric acid. These ingredients are used in
    small amounts to improve the texture and shelf life of the bread.

    French bread doesn't cheat.

    Americans don't buy bread every day. What the heck is wrong with soybean oil? It's cheap and plentiful. I'm making a loaf at the moment with more oil and some vinegar. I'd rather add citric acid but I couldn't find the bag.
    Doesn't soybean oil make you grow tits? Or maybe you already have
    tits.

    That's just plain silly. I'll bet you believe that it does though.

    There was something about soy and a female hormone. Lemme ask my
    friend.

    "No, soy oil does not cause man boobs, also known as gynecomastia.
    This is a common misconception, but there is no scientific evidence to
    support it."

    You have my sympathies. My mother was a great baker and dessert was
    often the highlight of our dinners. She made great pies and I don't
    think she ever made one that was not a huge success. Well, there was
    one failure. She once made a sour cherry pie with cherries she had
    processed herself, except that her processing was limited to freezing.
    She had not bothered to pit them and then when she made the pie she
    forgot that she had not pitted them. Every cherry in the pie had a pit.
    It was annoying but the pie still tasted great.

    I've never said that my people were superior to your people. I have said that we're

    Different brand but same idea. It was OK for a PBJ though.

    I also had a really good rye bread from a couple of different Polish
    bakeries. Sadly, many of them have closed over the years and I've not
    had it for at least 8 years. I think you have to go to Philadelphia or
    Brooklyn now to find it.

    Actually, he could order it from Zingerman's Bakehouse.

    https://www.zingermansbakehouse.com/products/jewish-rye-bread/

    There is caraway seed in it, but it's ground up. I don't find it overpowering.

    I'm off to the bakehouse this afternoon for my semi-weekly
    Rustic Italian Round. And a cupcake for my husband. And
    perhaps a parmesan and prosciutto croissant for me.

    The bakery parm & proscuitto croissant sounds good to me! Not a pastry
    I'd ever attempt.

    Duh. Hawaiians and Asians are superior people. You had already
    established that.

    But I dare say that Westerners don't fear food either. Look at how
    popular McDonalds and other fast food places are in Western countries. >>>> No sirree, Westerners don't fear diabetes and premature death either!

    Obviously, you have deep-seated feelings of being inferior. Yoose trying to pin the blame on me. Sorry pal, it ain't gonna work.
    Inferior to Hawaiians and Asians, of course! You've been telling us
    for years what wonderful people they are. That has its influence on
    your readers, you know? Especially on those of lesser ethnicities.

    I've never said that my people were superior to your people. I have said that we're different. I can't help it if you're fearful of food and other cultures. My guess it's not a cultural trait of the Dutch people or the Aussies - just yours.
    OTOH, there is that matter of you-know-who and his you-know-what. That is shameful - yoose just don't know it.

    Now tojo yoose know yoose hiwayans can't touch the dutch when

    No sympathy required, Dave.

    My mother was a great baker and dessert was
    often the highlight of our dinners.  She made great pies and I don't
    think she ever made one that was not a huge success.   Well, there was
    one failure. She once made a sour cherry pie with cherries she had processed herself, except that her processing was limited to freezing.
    She had not bothered to pit them and then when she made the pie she
    forgot that she had not pitted them.  Every cherry in the pie had a pit.
    It was annoying but the pie still tasted great.

    She forgot to pit the cherries, oops. Again, pies are not something I
    grew up with. Nor any sort of desserts served after the evening meal.

    14 slices a week for 2 people is one slice a day for one person. You

    Yes, the standard loaf we make has 18 sliced. 14 a week are used in

    Not really Jill. 2 slices a day is pretty normal. With 2 of us,
    that's most of a loaf. Other dishes might be home made stuffing to go
    with dinner.

    2 slices a day? Seems excessive. About home made stuffing. I don't
    cook much that requires stuffing but that which I do make is cornbread.
    It's batter bread, not yeast bread.

    can count a burger bun as bread but that's not a regular thing. I also

    14 slices a week for 2 people is one slice a day for one person. You
    find that a lot?

    Evidently she does? I'd even call 2 slices a day per person to be
    normal. Don is 5ft9 and weighs 173lbs (on the thin side). I'm 5ft1
    and 104lbs today.

    I suspect Jill thinks 'bread makes you fat' which is a common fallacy
    as part of the keto diet. It's not true. If you consume more calories
    than you burn off, you gain weight. It's very simple.

    You suspect wrong. I don't think 'bread makes you fat'. I'm not
    following any sort of diet other than eating what I like, when I want
    to. I consume plenty of carbs and starches, just not constantly in the
    form of bread or boring old rice. You're the one who wants to gain
    weight; obviously the bread you eat is not helping.

    Yes, it is. I no longer do that and have lost some weight.
    Intermittent fasting actually works. Breakfast is between 11 and noon,

    Tomorrow, my Zingerman's rye bread will be here. I'll have a slice or

    That's still excessive because a vary light snack plus a scoop of ice

    Millions of people use yeast bread for stuffing. I'm one of them.

    Me, too. That doesn't mean I want to bake a pie. I'll buy a slice
    at the bakery if I get the craving for pie.

    When we have it, we usually eat "dessert" around 3 pm.

    I can't say I have ever had a craving for pie.

    So have I, Janet. I didn't grow up enjoying things like braised lamb
    shanks. Perhaps you did, but lamb in any form was not something my
    mother ever cooked. The list of things I have cooked and enjoyed that I
    didn't grow up with would be rather long. It still doesn't make me want
    to bake pies.

    I've eaten, cooked and done an awful lot of things I
    didn't grow up with.

    Me, too. That doesn't mean I want to bake a pie. I'll buy a slice
    at the bakery if I get the craving for pie.

    When we have it, we usually eat "dessert" around 3 pm.

    I can't say I have ever had a craving for pie.

    Everybody's different. I don't much care for cooked vegetables.

    I typically don't cook with Aloha shoyu. I'm using a Japanese shoyu

    chicken, Aloha shoyu would be a good choice. One of my projects will

    Sorry, no youtube on this box but I assume it's shoyu chicken and cake
    noodle.

    Cake noodle sounds familiar. I had something called that in Hong Kong
    Kong but it doesn't match pictures of Hawaiian versions.

    The Hong Kong version was a simple street food sold from carts. Cooked
    in a small metal pan over the griddle, it was fat noodles bound by egg
    and topped with something very like furicake. (I'm sure it wasn't
    called furikake in Hong Kong but it had sesame seeds, chile flakes,
    seaweed and some other bits with a salty crunch).

    I don't think I ever had the Hawaiian cake noodle while there. I just
    have vague memories of it on the menu.

    Correct. Winter has you pretty sedentary so making calorie cuts then
    is just sensible. Those can come from any part of the diet.

    5 or so years ago, Charlotte had to trim a bit for Navy entry. Mostly
    though she needed to learn to swim and run faster. You should have
    seen the screams and howls here because we didn't go 'keto'! Instead
    we used 'replacement' (her name for it). No more high calorie crunchy
    fried potato chips. Enter, 27 calorie bread sticklits. Similar shifts
    and portion control were effective.

    Not really Jill. 2 slices a day is pretty normal. With 2 of us,
    that's most of a loaf. Other dishes might be home made stuffing

    2 slices a day? Seems excessive.

    Strange woman. There's nothing excessive about it.

    Yes, it doesn't have to be from bread. Jill's very focused on bread
    for some reason. Would she also not eat potatoes or pasta? She finds

    Many days now, I just like to add canned veggies like cut green beans to stuff like canned beef stew.

    Not really Jill. 2 slices a day is pretty normal. With 2 of us,
    that's most of a loaf. Other dishes might be home made stuffing
    to go >> with dinner.

    2 slices a day? Seems excessive.

    Strange woman. There's nothing excessive about it.

    Pretty famous about the world is the sandwich for lunch. Popularized
    or reviled in the USA for kids lunches of PB&J.

    And I never thought of sandwiches as excessive.

    yes, pretty much, for me in the winter i have to
    minimize calories so extra bread of any kind is rare.
    most of the carbs i get come from cereal or beans or
    baked items that are not normal breads.

    i don't hate bread, i really like it and used to
    make all sorts of different versions, but i'm no
    longer as active as before when i could eat half or
    whole pizzas per day. it makes a huge difference
    if i'm hiking and swimming or gardening vs. not.

    right now 300 calories per day extra would be
    two to three lbs gained per month.


    songbird

    Correct. Winter has you pretty sedentary so making calorie cuts then
    is just sensible. Those can come from any part of the diet.

    5 or so years ago, Charlotte had to trim a bit for Navy entry. Mostly
    though she needed to learn to swim and run faster. You should have
    seen the screams and howls here because we didn't go 'keto'! Instead
    we used 'replacement' (her name for it). No more high calorie crunchy
    fried potato chips. Enter, 27 calorie bread sticklits. Similar shifts
    and portion control were effective.

    I have no idea why you keep yapping about 'keto'. Your daughter was overweight. Possibly due to all the bread. Heh. It's no surprise
    someone enlisting in the Navy would be expected to be trim and know how
    swim and run fast. It's the military.

    You frequently talk about wanting to gain weight. Apparently all the
    bread you bake isn't helping. Perhaps you should consider your body is
    simply not intended to weigh more than (what was it? 102 lbs?) Some
    people are simply small. Me, I'm not on any kind of "diet". I weigh
    about 120 lbs. and that's normal for my height and age.

    The difference is, you have to have chicken [bones] on hand to make

    it works perfectly well for most of the things I cook.

    The thing is, once you remove the meat from the simmered bones then try
    to use only the bones to make broth, the bones are pretty much depleted. Onion or not, you simply can't make a good broth from chicken bones that
    have already been cooked.

    The last time that I made chicken broth, within the last few weeks, I

    Sensor. With some, you can tell it what is cooking and it senses the time/temperature and adjusts accordingly. I think we used it once about
    20 years ago.

    Yes, it doesn't have to be from bread. Jill's very focused on bread
    for some reason. Would she also not eat potatoes or pasta? She finds
    rice boring (which probably means she doesn't know how to cook
    something good with it).

    5 or so years ago, Charlotte had to trim a bit for Navy entry.
    Mostly though she needed to learn to swim and run faster. You
    should have seen the screams and howls here because we didn't go
    'keto'! Instead we used 'replacement' (her name for it). No more
    high calorie crunchy fried potato chips. Enter, 27 calorie bread sticklits. Similar shifts and portion control were effective.

    A Chinese Australian doctor I know once said that losing weight is
    easy. Just replace all your carbs with beans. I haven't tried that :)

    LOL!

    Forget your doctor, cshenk. Listen to Jill instead!

    Jill already plonked her doctor.

    She's already living in a gated community that only allows
    hummingbirds in, but she needs to be even more protected from the real
    world, so she puts everybody in her killfile.

    Yes, and she absolutely hates when anyone posts off
    topic in here, unless it's her that's doing it.

    She still has her little posse of people who'll never criticise her.
    Some people just kowtow to the biggest mouth, I guess.

    Yes, like many groups this one is also some what of a click, Jill
    is perhaps one the biggest hypocrites in here.

    Maybe so, but it isn't any weaker than the factory made stock sold in
    the cardboard wax cartons. I made it up in a very small stock pot. I
    only made up about 5 quarts or so. The water was entirely full of bones
    and scraps.

    Normally, I use a whole bird, lots of bones plus scraps, to make a

    carrots and celery to the stock, because the carrots, celery, and

    meat "stock" was fairly week, but good enough for a quick small pot of
    chicken noodle soup (yes, with breast meat reserved in it, plus carrots/celery/seasoning).

    I simply don't need that much

    Well, I have a whole upright freezer in the cellar to store saved food
    in, but I typically only have a few quart or gallon zip lock baggies of
    broth saved.

    A good stock should have layers of flavor, produced by adding
    such ingredients as onion, celery, and carrot, and extracting their
    flavor into the stock. Otherwise, you've got a one-note liquid
    with chunks of other stuff in it, and no harmonious flavors to
    bring the dish together.

    Normally, I use a whole bird, lots of bones plus scraps, to make a
    really good stock, and it winds up as you describe. No, I don't
    add carrots and celery to the stock, because the carrots, celery,
    and seasoning are added to the soup or final dish.

    A good stock should have layers of flavor, produced by adding
    such ingredients as onion, celery, and carrot, and extracting their
    flavor into the stock. Otherwise, you've got a one-note liquid
    with chunks of other stuff in it, and no harmonious flavors to
    bring the dish together.

    Try again. A basic stock is simpler. You add the other things later.
    It may not fit 'your methods' but it works, It's also more variable in
    later uses.

    I will not begin to try to figure out why you can't do both. Did it
    ever occur to you to use half of the vegetables to add to the stock to
    give it more flavour? Set aside the remaining uncooked vegetables to
    add to the dish you were going to make? They'll cook when you simmer
    the soup or make the pot pie. It's not a difficult cooking concept.

    Lets try it in reverse. Have you tried just doing a basic bone broth?
    Just little bits of meat? Michael point blank said he had a potful of
    bones. He was cooking a second dish with left overs.

    I suspect the root of it is you don't do that sort of cooking which
    leads to a comprehension gap. Try this, Michael is not only a 'waste-not-want-not' sort (he has plenty of company here) but he's
    feeding 5 people now. How much the lady is kicking in isn't known.

    Nonsense, fool. Everyone should cook *exactly* as her royal

    Yes; bone broth is extremely dull.

    leads to a comprehension gap. Try this, Michael is not only a 'waste-not-want-not' sort (he has plenty of company here) but he's

    I count four people (when his daughter is there). It's not really a comprehension gap as it is more a reaction to the attitude of never use
    boxed broth.

    What kind of soup is that? Is that squash? It looks good; I'd try
    it.

    Looks to me like potatos, carrots, cabbage, onion in a possibly Pho
    base?

    2.5 cups leftover white rice (mix of long and medium)
    1/2 large red bell pepper
    2 cloves thin slivered garlic
    3 eggs, scrambled
    2 stalks mustard greens, chopped 1/2-1/3 inch thick
    3-4 TB butter
    2 TB olive oil

    and leftovers of
    1/4 c eggdrop soup
    1/3 c chicken chow mein
    3 TB vegetable egg foo young cake

    The top part is vegetarian and stands alone just fine. Add other
    vegetables at will. Can add to the protein by adding nuts or choice
    (pine nuts are optimal!) and/or a handful of cooked beans such as
    black, red adzuki, lima, or pink beans. Replce butter with other
    oil for vegan.

    With leftovers used, is low-meat but really nice way to use up bits
    and pieces of savory foods.

    Sounds GOOD!

    i'm not a huge fan of fried rice but if you put enough
    veggies and other things in it i can ignore the rice.
    so it pretty much sounded good to me.
