Random Rants LXXXVI: OH, FUDDLE-DUDDLE!

[Snerk]

Chop potatoes into chunks and boil until just when they break if stuck with a fork. At first you have to really stab them, then they are tender enough to stick but you have to push them back off, They are ready when you don't get to push them because they break around the fork and fall off. Drain them.

Pile butter on top of them, which of course will be inclined to start melting. Start mashing them up with a potato masher. You'll need a butterknife to keep scraping them off the back of the masher. Start sprinkling in onion powder, garlic powder, ground sage, and ground basil. Amounts you have to figure out because your instructor never measures anything and just wings it. Keep mixing and mashing until everything is consistent, then put on low heat and add milk, continuing to mix/mash fast so nothing gets burnt from sitting too long on the bottom. Keep adding milk until you get to the right consistency, and keep mashing and mixing until everything is hot.

The trick is to use about one more potato than you are actually going to need. That one gets eaten as you go along, so you can track the seasonings and correct on the fly.

That doesn't sound too bad. Will if cook it if I come visit?

You're supposed to cook them.

Tried that, didn't help.

It depends on how they're made. Not too lumpy, not too runny, add gravy, and eat.

I'm sure it's quite tasty if done right. But I'm not a toddler, I like chewing my food.

You don't prefer mashed food I guess? do you fancy porridge? It's so good, I imagine porridge now accompany with chicken stock and salty soy sauce, ugh, my stomach is growling right now just imagining that. I'll have porridge for my breakfast tomorrow.

I'll have outmeal porridge for breakfast every now and again. And rice porridge for dinner a couple times a year or so. But I'm not a massive porridge person.
Porridge with chicken stock and soy sauce is pretty much unheard of here. How does that work? And what kind of porridge are we talking about?

Really? But don't worry, I'm here, and I'm more than happy to help you, you can chose either to make it Japanese, Chinese or Indonesian way

Don't worry any rice will do

English subtitle available within the video.

Bookmarked it if you ever curious and want to try how it taste, it's taste great for me!

 

[Snerk]

Neat! I'd try that for sure.

Pretty much the only dinner porridge you'll get around here is rice porridge with butter, cinnamon and sugar.

 

[Snerk]

Oh and there's rømmegrøt. (sour creme porridge?)

It's quite rich but very tasty.

Never try this, but this is remind me of Sutlac in Turkey, it's basically rice porridge cooked with sugar and milk, I believe it perhaps is a personal @r16 favorite, because it's awfully delicious especially if it served cold

This one look amazingly delicious, that yellow butter on top if it, man it's a candy for my eyes

Alberto Uderzo has died .

 

[H4run]

Alberto Uderzo has died .

Very sad to hear that, he pretty much colored my childhood, Asterix is pretty much my first comic book and I still reading it from time to time till now. It means quite much for me.

Yeah that seems very similar. Served slightly different but definitely from the same vein.

Just make sure you've got some cardio lined up after you've finished your plate!

 

[Snerk]

Yup that's sad. I always mix him with Herge though.

Rant: I woke up to a snowstorm. It's the END OF MARCH.

On the other hand, maybe it'll keep all the obliviots in my province inside.

 

[Snerk]

March is winter.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

The first day of spring was this month!

 

[Snerk]

Who says?

 

[Arakhor]

I'm torn between responding with "Any dahl will do" and "A fistful of dahllers".

 

[Timsup2nothin]

You got it big guy!

So add meat. Why do you think restaurants serve bacon bits with baked potatoes? Why do you think "bangers and mash" is a thing (it's great comfort food)?

Btw, guys, there's a food thread around here somewhere, since you're swapping recipes instead of complaining.

It would have to be at least -25C for that.

It's snowing here, too.

March is winter.

Exactly.

The first day of spring was this month!

That's what the calendar wants you to think.


Rant: I went to check my mail this morning (I go after midnight, when I won't run into anyone other than the occasional security guy), and found that a notice had been posted in the lobby.

A notice I can't read. Now I have to phone customer service and ask why the notice didn't show up in my residents' email account, like it should have.

@Valka D'Ur just reminded me I haven't been able to buy meat for 2 weeks due to hoarding

 

[Synobun]

Corn in mashed potatoes is good. Or carrots.

My mother called it stoemp. But in the Netherlands they call it stamppot.
