GIVE I count any meal eaten when you wake up breakfast because youre still breaking your sleep fast. Something can be breakfast and lunch at the same time in that case, and also still not be brunch. I dont really like pancakes unless it's dinner, they're too bready for me in the morning. I like either cereal or some type of protien or both with a bit of fruit when its early.
If buttermilk is not included in your fried chicken recipe I'm really not sure what you're doing. Also I personally can't stand sweet grits but even if you like them honey does not belong in them unless you like eating cement.
Well, we don't have buttermilk around here. Well, not in stores, I guess it's relatively easy to make some.
broccoli with pesto and pasta is a+, but broccoli from chinese restaurants is amazing steamed broccoli is sad and disappointing
Also I wanted to respond to freaking everything in this thread but especially: *applause* Although in my region if you come to the church potluck/neighborhood barbecue with potato salad made with any mayo other than Duke's people will absolutely gossip about it. It's not exactly the same, but you can add... Some proportion of vinegar (white or ACV) to milk and use it in recipes that call for it. That's fair, though. The deep south uses buttermilk in everything, so you can pick it up wherever. I know people that drink it straight. Edit: substitutes because everyone deserves buttermilk fried chicken in their lives
broccoli tempura is my favorite but the place i go always gives me too much asparagus and only 1 or 2 broccolis
I will eat everyone's broccoli that doesn't like it in any form except straight up raw. I like it best sautéed with lemon and butter, though.
@raybot I will trade you your extra asparagus for my extra broccoli. Asparagus all the way. Relatively recently I found out that shaved asparagus has a nice, slightly peppery flavour that works well in a green salad.
Lots of people massively overcook broccoli-this is probably at least in part due to broccoli these days needing less cooking time than broccoli in medieval times did, but not everyone shortened the cooking times as much as needed. A similar thing happened with cabbage-it used to need to be boiled all morning, but now it only needs a few minutes. Some people came from lineages that didn't shorten the cooking time as much as needed, so they overcook the cabbage and get a slimy mess that tastes terrible and has very little nutritional value. Like...people learnt how long to cook it from their parents. And whenever a new variety of cabbage/broccoli came about that needed less cooking time, some people would shorten the cooking time enough, and some people would overcook it. And that continued and now you sometimes get people who genuinely believe cabbage/broccoli/brussel sprouts are supposed to taste very bitter. They're not! When they taste very bitter it means they were boiled until the vitamins etc leached out.
I'm not sure how much boiling broccoli is supposed to get but I usually have it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes?? seems to make it the consistency i prefer
If it's limp and not tasty, it's been boiled too long. This is my Scientific Opinion. (Your cooking time would probably not reduce the nutritional values too much, it's pretty short!) I do like steaming as a method of cooking a lot of different veggies. I think re problems with it are usually user-generated, e.g. pieces are too different in size to cook evenly, they don't check the doneness and leave it too long, they overestimate the amount of time needed, they try to cook things that have drastically different cooking times together, etc. Roasting can be a good alternative for some things.
Another one is people leaving the lid on after the steaming is done without realizing that's the same as cooking it longer.
Roasted broccoli is amazing. The rule in my family is stab the broccoli with a fork, it it goes in easy, the broccoli is done.
Basically, it's fluid enough that unlike, say, a jam, it won't stay in one place and soaks through bread items (think like melted butter but slightly thicker/slower moving). But unlike most other potential Breakfast Liquids, it's STICKY. And it sticks. To. Everything. And it drips. Off. Everything. And so basically the minute you put some on your plate you're doomed to everything getting maple sticky on it, including you and your little dog too.
The specific line I posted was from a discussion by my roommates in the living room on the subject of why some of Roommate C's Pokemon cards were sticky. That turned out to be the answer.
