Blue Gartr Meal Time: Bacon optional? Bacon required.

[Tokitoki]

It must have been the weather cause I made chili on Friday.

I use grilled steak rather than ground beef and some bacon for fat/flavor. Didn't chronicle it, though, cause I've posted it before.

[Zetanio]

Amy's Spicy Vegetarian Chili is fucking legit. I usually add meat to it but it's a hell of a base. I use it to make nacho chili.

[Kalmado]

i had an idea to make a substitute for ground beef using very firm minced tofu and some very crispy/burnt mushrooms minced as well. I love my recipe and I think those flavors would be pretty good, especially the mushrooms. Gonna be a LOT of mushrooms for this recipe though, like 4 lbs probably because of how much liquid they give up.

That does sound very good indeed. We haven't done anything with tofu yet for whatever reason. I really want to try tofu curry. I love the yellow curry powder we have. Even though I put too much on the last batch, the baby back ribs with curry was fantastic.

Speaking of curry, First We Feast on YT just started a series about curry with some girl. First episode is with Jo Koy and it was a good watch. At the end the talk about is X a curry? While done as a humor bit, kind of makes you think about it.

[Zetanio]

anything can be a curry with curry in it.

food appropriation complaints can fucking fuck up a river.

Our goto for chili that we normally eat over brown rice:

Beer Chili

1/4 cup oil
4 medium onions, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons sugar (we normally don't add this)
4 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 cup chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds
1/2 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 pounds ground beef
1 (12 oz) bottle of beer (whatever is on hand, but we usually use a chocolate stout or other dark beer)
1/2 cup strong brewed black coffee
1/2 cup coarsely chopped parsley (or cilantro)
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
2 bay leaves

In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and sugar and saute, stirring frequently until onions begin to turn caramel-brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, cayenne, cumin sees and paprika; saute 1 minute more. Increase heat slightly add beef and saute, stirring to coarsely break up meat, until evenly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Eat.

I follow the Neely's chili, but I use grilled steak rather than ground beef and pork. I also use a better beer, because I don't keep Bud around.

I tried watching the first episode, but I kinda hate the host.. I'm like 3 minutes in and I don't think I can deal with her. I would love if they brought back Food Grails, I loved learning about the history and culture behind those specific dishes.

I am gonna try my hand at making that curry though >.>;

Yeah she's pretty annoying. Seems like she got the job because she's kinda cute and is trying her hand at being quirky while being a "food lover". Those segway cuts of her jumping around or dancing were stupid. I agree about Food Grails. Really fun shows with good information.

[Zetanio]

This chick sucks.

Taking the dive and getting a sous vide with leftover registry gift cards.

I found that the Anova one I previously listed is now discontinued and noticed they now have an Anova nano.

Comparing that to the replacement I put up on my registry for the discontinued Anova...which should I go for? Other suggestions?

[Kalmado]

I know this isn't Anova but for $13 who cares. Check your zip and see if it's available. Actual availability is always your mileage may vary. I've had brickseek show 0 in stock limited quantity and I get the items.

Having never used anything but Anove or Joule I can't recommend anything but those.

Upside down! About tofu, is there a type that is like, super super firm?

Curry lady wasn't terrible in the episode with Sean Paul. I can't watch Joji and Rich Brian. They are idiots and I have no idea why they are popular. I've started watching a lot of Worth It and find it enjoyable for a 10 minute or so watch. Stephen Yim is kinda terrible though. The camera guy makes my wife laugh because of his awkwardness.

[Zetanio]

Super firm tofu is super firm.

Teriyaki steak rice bowl? Is that what we're looking at?

[Zetanio]

Some basic steak over rice. Steak was frozen, thawed in the sous vide with some soy vay for a basic marinade. Sliced, seared, put over some leftover rice with togarashi shichimi and sesame seeds.

[Tokitoki]

soy vay for a basic marinade.

Best teriyaki.
