I'm sure this questions been asked a million times, so apologies. Ordered a dining room table and haven't received it yet. Need ideas for some foods I can cook (not snacks) that will eat ok in someone's lap/tv tray. Having company over and I love to cook. Thanks for the help.

Edit: Appetizers would be fine, as long as they're hearty/filling

i hope this is the correct subreddit!! recently, a lot of things that i eat and drink taste good and normal at first, and as i eat or drink them they lose a lot of flavor, to the point i have to completely re-season the food or toss out the drinks. they don't start to taste bad, just.. bland! loss of flavor

what could this be? i eat and drink mostly the same things, i use the same seasonings on almost all my food, could it just be that my taste buds are getting too used to the things i consume?

but i thought if it was my taste buds getting too accustomed to the flavors, then wouldn't the food be bland from the start? not just like, halfway in? but what the hell do i know

I pickled carrots by mixing them with 2 tablespoons rice vinegar and water and 1/2 teaspoon salt and sugar. I put them in a sealed mason jar for around 2 weeks. When I opened the jar, it made a pop and fizzing sound. The carrots smell fermented and have tiny bubbles. Are they still safe to eat? If so for how long are they good? They were refrigerated the whole time.

i cooked some chicken in a crockpot since i bought the wrong type. they were thighs with skin and bone. i wanted to make some chicken tallow to try but was having issues getting it to filter properly so i just stuck it in the fridge to separate later.

i ended up with what looked like tallow on top(hard, soft off white color) and some gelatinous stuff underneath. did i mess this up or will i have a short refrigerated shelf life? is that just bone broth underneath? is there any nutritional value to it and if so how do i use it?

Can I refreeze chocolate buns (just wheat buns with chocolate bits inside)? They were not frozen when I bought them, but I put them in the freezer. Took them out today in the morning because I was planning to eat them but my plans have changed. I’m wondering if they will still taste good if I put them back in the freezer. They were out of the freezer for about 9 hours at room temperature. I’m mainly just wondering in how they will taste I know bacteria can grow during that time but that’s not my main concern in this post

It seems like I always have too much when I make breakfast for the family, and after a day or two, it gets old. I need ideas for it, other than meatloaf or meatballs.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone else noticing some odd tastes in their chicken tenderloins lately?

I buy specifically Mary’s Organic and these last few weeks their tenderloins have had this odd kind of plasticky / chemical flavor to them

Haven’t noticed it in other cuts like the thin sliced breasts etc but I almost always usually only eat tenderloin

Anyone else?

I'm so done with delivery services. I'm picking up my food from now on. For three reasons specifically

1. I'm sick of delivery services allowing drivers to make multiple deliveries at the same time just so they can "make a decent wage" instead of of the delivery services just paying drivers a decent wage. This method doesn't work and makes my food take so long that it is cold and soggy by the time it gets to my door.

2. I don't get updated when my order is taking longer than expected and the wait time just keeps updating getting longer and longer every time I open the app....like have some transparency.

3. Customer service means absolutely nothing to these companies and you have to fight your way through an incompetent robot just to speak to an agent and even then they seem incapable of unwilling to give you any reasonable reason or solution.

Tonight I ordered food at 7:30pm and my food didn't arrive until 8:50pm almost an hour and a half later. This is unacceptable considering the restaurant is down the street from me and closed at 8:30pm

I'm done

What's your favorite? Mine's King Oyster grilled on a BBQ with new Orleans seasoning, or enoki in a soy-based stir fry.

Do you have a specific dish that you like?

Recently bought a case of eggs and there's been a small black thing I've seen in some of the eggs. Anyone have any idea what it is?

Wish I could attach a picture but this subreddit doesn't allow it :(

Hello! Relevant information:

Dish is inspired by few dishes served by "Asia Hung", they serve plenty of asian cuisine. There seem to be various mix, there are thai dishes, chinese dishes etc. That's why I can't quite say if it's chinese, japanese, korean, thai etc - sorry >.<

lot of thinnish slices (under 0.75cm) of pork - around 1/2 or 2/3 kilo

I do not have worceshtersire sauce

I have some soy sauce

Plenty of spices; if you hint something I might have it!

Got some sesame oil but from my understanding that's for cooking, not marinade; got some grape seed oil and plenty of canola oil to use (I understand Canola is preferable here since grape is for cold stuff?)

Will be frying the meat with paprica (bought 3), carrot sticks (Bought 2 carrots), onion (also got chives - should I add it?) and champignons; also salt pepper MSG and potentially other spices

Will be serving it with black rice

One of my favorite songs is Navajo Rug by Jerry Jeff Walker. The song starts off

"Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast, home fries on the side, Wash it down with road house coffee, burns up your insides,"

Anyone know what whiskey toast is?

Only thing I can find online is that it is just dinner talk for rye bread toast.

I never ever had an issue with steamed sweet potatoes, fried sweet potatoes, or even roasted sweet potatoes with the skin on, when done at home myself.

But, the other day, someone I know bought a roasted sweet potato with the skin on, and I ate it. I didn't eat the skin of it. I peeled most of the skin back before putting the meat of the potato near my mouth, but parts of the skin touched my lips and a couple of hours later and next morning, my lips were swollen and itching. All the symptoms went disappeared within 48 hours.

What I remember that was different with this roasted sweet potato is that the skin was SUPER STIFF and it felt uncomfortable when the skin touched my lips. PLUS, the skin may not have been washed well since I did not prepare it. It was also probably NOT organic.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has seen such a skin reaction to sweet potato skin even after it being roasted.

So I love kiwis, they're my third favorite fruit behind oranges and grapes- but they really irritate my lips and any place on my skin the juice touches, especially on my face. It becomes itchy and irritated for at least a few minutes and at most an hour. The only other fruit this happens with is a few species of grapes. I assumed it was the acidity but my friends are saying it's an allergy, any ideas?

I'm making tacos with pork that I have on hand, but it's a little less than I thought. I was looking for something to stretch out the recipe with, and I have a can of chickpeas. Would that be good? If so would I just add it directly to the meat while it's cooking?

I have had this thing ever since I can remember. When I eat a kiwi (and sometimes even by just LOOKING at it), I get a tingly feeling under my tongue and it starts salivating more than usual. After I eat the kiwi, there is no pain, swelling, etc. Just this weird, tingly feeling accompanied by saliva. Any ideas?

My husband fed me some last night and now Im craving it but I wish they had bigger portions 😭 anything similar in taste? thank you :)

What website can I find with this product here, cream cheese and jalapeño balls, that can be sent to Brazil, I've been on the saga for a while and I can't find it anywhere, if anyone knows please help me, #aviko #jalapeño

Do the nutrition labels on canned fish include if you eat the bones too since they're soft enough to eat? Or is it without the bones?

How much more calcium do I get with the bones?

It smelled like a fart but I only noticed it after drinking half the 33 fl oz tetra pack. The taste was good and tasted fine but the smell has me panicking. Will I get sick from this? I just bought it today, less than 2 hours ago

I did it once, years ago, but no idea how... I got my mashed potatoes the texture of soft, fluffy bread. They were awesome! Any idea how to do this? They were perfect on my shepherd's pie!

My fiancé and were talking, and apparently he puts brown sugar on his Rice Crispies?! I thought if putting sugar on it, one would use white sugar, no?

Someone settle this for us, white or brown sugar on Rice Crispies?

I've been learning how to make regular chili lately, since I normally only make white chicken chili. With white chicken chili you can blend pinto beans or Great Northern beans to thicken up the chili, and I'm wondering if I can do the same with kidney beans in regular chili. I absolutely hate kidney beans because of the texture, but I'm wondering if blending them would fix the issue (I do this with chickpeas in white chili and it solves the texture issue). I get so many from the food pantry because they almost exclusively have kidney beans and black beans, and I just want to learn how to use them.

Edit: advice on how to thicken the chili besides tomato sauce/paste is also helpful bc I always find that it either has no liquid or is too runny, and I'm just not getting the liquid thick enough.

Has anybody tried this? Did it impact the texture too much? I'm afraid I'll still hate it bc I have never liked kidney beans...

Edit: also, lmao to those telling me that I'm not making chili bc chili supposedly doesn't have beans in it.

I got some organic perled garlic from Whole Foods yesterday and somehow I didn’t see it and it stayed out of refrigerator for 24 hours. It’s still sealed. Is it safe to eat?

On my voortman bakery cookies I got from Bb’s has label that says. “JL1024 2040 THC”. Does this mesmerize THC THC??? Or am I good to finish this box?

Update: No drugs in it!! I felt very fine

How to cook sweet corn in air fryer. What time how much temperatures?

Do people living in US really eat out and order food as they show in Tv? I have watched a lot of US films and television. Most of the times people mostly in cities eat out or order in. I wanted to know do people really always eat out like in sitcoms? How frequently do you cook at home?
