Default My method of cooking and why I do it..................


Hello I am a 40ish single male, disabled and love to cook. There is a
specific way that I cook that suits me best. It is all about bulk
cooking. The bulk cooking is precooking most of the foods and freezing
them so when I want something I just take it out of the freezer and
cook it. The way that I cook, using an air fryer uses a lot less fat
an estimated 75% less fat and it makes it easier to cook my foods
gluten free.

Heres an example, I like french fries, but deep frying frencfh fries
comes with a lot of excess fat that the fries absorb as they sit in
the oil while cooking. With an air fryer a few tablespoons are used
and the food comes out just as good in most cases, better in some, and
not as good in a very few. Anyway back to the fries. I use a mandolin
to slice my potatoes a uniform thickness then use a sharp knife to cut
the individual fries. I spray some oil onto the fries, shake it up a
bit and then air fry them at a low temp so that the center of the fry
cooks. Then I take them out and let them cool, then freeze them and
when I am ready for fries I take out my order and air fry them at a
high temp to crisp them up. When I do this I start with about three
large potatoes or about three pounds, I do not skin the potatoes cause
that would just be dumb.

So I have about three pounds of frozen half cooked french fries just
ready to have that last few minutes of cooking so they can be gobbled
up.

Since they are frozen cut and precooked I can use them for other
things as well. Such as hash browns or chili cheese fries or I posted
the recipe for in and out burgers animal fries which are outstanding.

I also do this with the chicken, that I use with several different
recipes.

Anyway thats all I have to say about that.....


as samwise gamgee says.... boil them, mash them, stick 'm in a stew

Sam never said that - in the only true representation of the tale of
Frodo Nine-Fingers and the Ring of Doom . The writers of those movies
were "inventive" to say the least . I've read the covers off
(literally!) at least 3 sets of the Trilogy of the Ring over the last 50
or so years , and ferdamshure Sam never said that . Poetic license my
dyin' ass . Frodo Lives !

I read "The Hobbit" and then the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy back
in the 1970's. I still have the books on my bookshelf. Amazing
story but the only thing I hated was how several separate events
happened all through that trilogy. You would just get into and
enjoy one story then next chapter is....meanwhile...and an
entirely different story started or continued. Kind of like a tv
soap opera. Make you wait. At least at the end, all stories come
together.

Anyway...I've never bothered to watch the movies. They always
change things from the books.
Same thing with any movie made from any book.

Seems like in the 1970's the thing to read was 'The Hobbit' and then the
'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. I still have those books on my shelves.
At least teens were reading books back then! What do they do now, tap
on smart phones?

I heard (and it's probably a Tolkien legend) J.R.R. wrote the books for
his son. Sent the trilogy off in chapters while he was away at war.
The timing in the 1940's works. <shrug> Likely a legend.

Did you know 'The Hobbit' was originally written as a children's book?

And I agree, most movies made from books suck.

Â* Some kids do still read ... our grandkids (all 5 of 'em) are very
disappointed if they don't get books as gifts for occasions like
birthdays or Christmas .

That's a good thing, Terry! When I was a kid I always looked forward to
getting books for my birthday or Christmas. I learned how to read at a
very young age and still love books.

I treat my grandchildren to books at any time. I don't consider them as
luxuries but necessities.

My brother and sister-in-law are home schooling their two boys and they've
really encouraged them to read. Thankfully, both have shown a love of books
although the youngest one was a bit of a challenge. He didn't see the need
for it as he has YouTube and really had a tantrum. My brother pretty much
told him when he gets through ****ing and moaning to get over here and we're
going to read this book and he might as well accept it. Of course they are
just children's books but he read 2 or 3 per week now.

IMO, books are always a great gift. Real paper books, not
E-Books. I think this digital age has gone too far and nuts.
Doomed to crash and fail someday. Even my library is failing
these days.

One thing I read years ago was about parents discouraging their
young children from reading "worthless" comic books. I sure do
disagree there. Kids should be encouraged to read anything, imo.
I started out with them and loved my weekly comic book or two
(12cents each then). And I still have them all too with a little
bit of value now.

Anyway, that got me loving to read. The comics started the
reading habit. Then I started to read books without pictures. I
eventually quit the comics and I've read every single day for the
rest of my life. I like them all. I usually have 2 books going at
a time, one fiction and also a non-fiction one. Gives me 2
choices each night.

I have a copy of the original book - friends of my parents had a son

My copies were printed in 1973. Certainly not originals but they
are old and yellowed.

i read through them usually at least once a year,
often more than that if i can't get out in a storm
and want something to read. each time i find a
different perspective on something that i hadn't
noticed before.

i read them first in the early 70s too, along with
Dune they were books that stuck with me that i've
often gone back to for more re-reads than any other.

uh, no it isn't a legend, they've published his letters
and large chunks of the process and how it all came about.
amazing when you think what it ended up as.

yes and that's why it is so much different
than the longer story which comes after.

i like the imagination that books allow your own
mind to create - i think that is a loss for children
if they never have either the time or the space to
create things themselves any more.

Thanks for clarifying! I knew I'd heard it somewhere but wasn't sure
how true it was.

It's definitely different from the trilogy.

Yep, I prefer to conjur up the images myself rather than have some movie
producer's take on how a character should look. Movies have their
place, of course. I just love to read!

I'm disabled too but your way of cooking and even eating doesn't suit me at
all. I very much dislike taking stuff out of the freezer to eat with some
exceptions. If I get a large amount of ground beef for a good price, I will
cook it and stow it in individual portions for the freezer. Either with just
salt and pepper or taco seasonings. I will do the same if I get a good price
on a large package of chicken breasts but I season only with salt and
pepper, and cut into bite sized pieces. I'm not a chicken lover but it is
available for my gardener or daughter if they want it. I also freeze
individual meatloaves only because I add a ton of veggies to mine and wind
up making a lot of them. I only do this maybe once a year. If I could find a
good hominy croquette recipe with no egg in it, I would do the same. Unless
perhaps I could come up with a way to make less at one time. My old recipe
with egg made a ton at once. That's the only reason I froze them.

I used to have extreme trouble standing. Used to have to get someone to buy
groceries for me as I couldn't walk at all. Could only scoot or crawl. I
bought a barstool. I sat on it and prepped veggies for the week. We eat a
lot of raw veggies here.

When I made the pot roast earlier, I cut the veggies up and had them ready
to go in all at once. I do the same when making Pad Thai. Also get the sauce
ready ahead of times. I would never cut up things like onions or potatoes
too far in advance though but an hour or two ahead of time seems fine.

I usually keep several cups of cooked beans and brown rice in the fridge. I
cook for my gardener. Those and tossed salad are the staples of his meals. I
do keep frozen veggies for him and also some cooked meat like ham steaks and
turkey breast. He can add this stuff, cheese and whatever else he wants and
have a suitable meal if I'm not here or if I don't cook that night. I also
buy corn tortillas for him.

Tonight I made a large, one pot meal. It should be enough for two days or
more. He can add beans and rice to it as he sees fit. He seems to be less
concerned with taste and more concerned with nutrition. I dunno. This sort
of thing does seem to work for us.

I often don't have an appetite. On these occasions, I might cook some white
rice and chicken broth or slap some refried beans on a tortilla and call it
good.

You're new here. So you don't know you've convinced us you're a
shittier cook and better at bullshitting than Julie AND Sheldon
combined. Now there is only one hurdle left, and that hurdle was
erected, faster, higher, stronger than any hurdle in RFC history and
costs 10X the price. While you're showed up carrying a literal 100lb
bag of krypotonite on your back (you call it gluten) while did all
it with just an impressive pocketfull of mixed nuts but at least
self-diagnosed himself fairly accurately.


So while I didn't get to congratulate you for using the "I'm so
misunderstood because I should be dead according to all the doctors,
who don't know anything anyway". That's practically the oldest
"trick" in the book (second one in the chapter "When You're Not
Feeling The Love" circa 1981. Even *I* tried a lesser version of
that and it took me 27 years to feel as if I'd redeemed myself
before the last two holdouts croaked suddenly within the last year.

So instead of telling you to "go suck a dick" as somebody here
recently said and then died, I wish best of the luck and keep up the
godo work! Which buys at least 24 more hours.

Well at least you got one thing correct.

Have you attempted any <any at all> of the recipes that I have listed?
I seriously doubt it because if you had you would know that last line
is total BS

Whilest I know and fully understand your level of intelligence or the
lack thereof I can fully appreciate your earnest attempt to sound like
you had a little knowledge when we first traded words, you said...

> I was scoped and snipped and scoped again and I
>didn't. I let it go.


Next time you want to describe things going in and coming out of your
ass, please for the love of all things in this universe DONT....
being as how being scoped snipped and scoped again have nothing at
all, and I mean that literally NOTHING at all to do with being tested
for a gluten sensitivity or celiac for that matter then I knew at
that point that you were pretty much one of those people who go around
talking smack and living their life as though they were gods gift to
the entire earth. There is a name for your affliction and in is called
compulsive lying. Some of my friends have it, my mother has it, and by
golly you are a confirmed case.....

Now whether or not you are ready and able to accept that you are no
superman and you do not have the knowledge of Zeus, but are in fact
quite ordinary possibly even below average means nothing and I mean
that literally IT MEANS NOTHING that has anything to do with anything
because quite frankly you are just not that important to anyone or
anything. I do realize that someone with your affliction can not fully
comprehend the things they do not know or understand so what they do
is make up lies and bullshit and them act as though they have been
certified an expert and then packaged it and slapped their stamp on it
as though they are the end all be all repository of knowledge about
it. But then some one comes along (which is me) who actually knows a
good deal about it, and has done proper research and experimentation
on it. It is in fact someone like me that can fully say with complete
confidence THAT YOU ARE SO FULL OF SHIT YOU COULD FILL AN OLYMPIC
SIZED POOL!!!

When you are feeling a little less sanctimonious just do me a favor
and realize that The reason that I came in here as an ass was because
I wanted to get people like you "the theist morons" to ignore me so I
would not have to deal with you later on, but now I see my ploy did
not work because lookie here, YOU ARE STILL RESPONDING TO AND READING
MY POSTS....

Of course not. I've been homeless since shortly after you arrived
here. I tore my house down and am still trying to source a
gluten-free builder to build me a gluten-free house from 100%
certified gluten-free materials inside a big gluten-free bubble on
top of gluten-free dirt using gluten-free labor. The old house had
microscopic gluten particles in it.

Didn't you hear? Somebody killed Jesus and Gluten is The Devil.

> Whilest I know and fully understand your level of intelligence or the


Then you'd know you're the only self-diagnosed, non-celiac gluten
intolerant person in the world that thinks he needs to avoid
microscopic gluten and any possibility of cross-contamination(*).
Compounded by the fact that you're so anti-religious that you're
even worse than a bible thumper, all while not believing in
evolution m adaptation, and natural selection either.

(*) That is reserved exclusively for the most severe cases of celiac
disease, and for which there are several tests to confirm such a
condition. Did you ever ask a doctor for an IQ test? Because that
would come back "negative", too.

And there's over 1,000 more references to this test on the Web.

Can we get a round of applause for this monumentally ignorant
asshole?

Apparently not, Forrest.

You'll have to get used to the fact that people here cook differently
from you and aren't interested in buying additional gear to cook things
they either don't cook or already cook by some other means. Nor are
they interested in recipes for foods that are to your taste, but
not theirs.

It's a tough sell telling someone who's been cooking for longer than
you've been alive that you know better than they do.

No, I assumed you were in your 50s. I've been cooking for more than
50 years, and I'm by no means the oldest person here.

It doesn't work if you immediately add "J/K". You should say it, wait
until she gets really worked up and _then_ say "J/K".
