I aint trippin off of that, we'll just eat it together. Females waste too much time on insignificant things. I'm a grown woman, not a little girl.
Its just gonna take one time for her to come up there and yall sitting together laughing eating your home cooked food. She gonna walk out and then walk back in like:bustback:

What you wanna know? Gotta be specific. Ill tell you offhand though, most people issues with cooking

1. Lack of a good palate.
Be at someones house they all "Damn, this is good." Some goddamn Hamburger Helper:beli:Heavy salt and fats.
If you think shyt food tastes good, you will serve shyt food. Broaden your food knowledge, taste new shyt like
kumquats and rutabagas.

2. Lack of spice diversity/heavy salt reliance

:what:Anybody who has Lawry's or any variation of "allspice" or "seasoned salt" is someone I won't
eat food with. They likely serving me poorly conditioned food with a heaping of MSG, salt, and pepper.

Get fresh herbs and learn how they interact. Thyme. Rosemary. Ground mustard seed. Invest in Olive oil, coconut
oil, and grapeseed oil as opposed to butter(you can still use butter:comeon:) and switch up tastes.

I made a homemade tomato soup that tasted dope before seasoning it, and all I started with was a base of
carmelized onions (sauteed at home) in apple cider vinegar, spicy paprika, chives, and olive oil.
Uncultured fukks will be all:scust: but look at their waistlines and their skin. That tells you all
you need to know about their taste in foods.

2. Stop rushing your cooking

My family complains when it takes me 45 minutes to cook meals. They be choosing at the table though:sas2:
Takes me on average 10 minutes to make a single serving of scrambled eggs, and I cook them in a pot, stirring them
shyts the whole time. The best stuff takes time. This is important for meats. Rushing the cooking will risk you over cooking
some shyt, robbing you of savory flavors and taste, or undercooking it, sending your ass to the ER if your immune system
is trash. Learn what temps everything should hit and don't rush it. Have your girl all over you when you hit her with
Mahi Mahi that flakes when you stick your fork in:wow:
aw I thought you were going to tell me culinary trade secrets, I know that stuff already :francis:
a specific problem I've been having is that with heavily spiced stuff I make, like japanese curry, I can take a bunch of different routes with a similar result that doesn't blow me away, even if I follow the recommendations from people who make really good curry. I can't taste the roux and know if it's going to be a hit because how the roux tastes and how the end product tastes are totally different
I've tried:
blue mountain curry powder, garam masala, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, ginger powder
blue mountain curry powder, garam masala, cayenne pepper, garlic powder apples, ginger powder
blue mountain curry powder, garam masala, jalepenos, scotch bonnet peppers, ginger and minced garlic made into a paste, chinese allspice, dry mustard, cloves, blue mountain coffee and 90% chocolate
the last one turned out MARGINALLY different, and I know its a ratio problem, but I'm so bad at math, I really can't figure it out :mjcry:
the only time it came out different was last night, because it was curry udon instead of a giant pot of curry, so I could add a bunch of crazy stuff without without worrying about the end result

I also have issues with plating and appearance :sadcam:

R u in too?. Not a damn thing to do around here. Luckily its close to Vegas (3 hours) LA (1.5-2 hours) and San Diego :ohlawd: (3 hours).....You wanted Utah though :scusthov:

This place is so stank. I contemplated moving back home with my mom instead of staying here :russ:

Utah was our first base! Hill AFB wasn't all that bad :ehh: What do you do?? You in med field?? There isn't a damn thing to do out here man :mjcry: a Chipotle just opened up off Kemp BLVD and that's about as exciting as it gets.

Not with my queen y'all don't, nukkas:ufdup:

Ah that shyt. No, I didn't parlay any of that into a career. Friend of mine worked his ass off as a sous chef and the pay was trash. I was just getting
another cert.:sas2:

Only thing I can say about the food is spend a hundred bucks if you have to and recreate that recipe day after day until you have a handle on
the flavor balance. Some foods are harder to prep than others if you simply can't taste it. I have the damndest problem tasting ginger and nutmeg,
so me cooking with either of those is blind luck if someone else likes it. Just keep working at it.

the pay was really that bad? :patrice:
I hate nutmeg, my grandparents made me eat porridge everyday as a kid, so now nutmeg stimulates my gag reflexes
It sucks though, I've been trying to get curry right since 2012 :snoop:
the only food that I can kick anyones ass in with no recipe is kid shyt like codfish fritters and pancakes :to:

He was getting paid below minimum wage with a tip-share thing going on. Even at the regular sous chef wage, poverty.
His bills for culinary school far outweighed that shyt, and today he is making more cash selling insurance:beli:

The codfish fritters and pancakes...simple foods, brehette. One of the best measures of a good cook is to see how well
he/she scrambled eggs. If you can do that, you learn nuance that transfers to other dishes. Don't give up on the curry, but
practice those basics till chicks are throwing panties at you after they get a taste.:jawalrus:
