Cooking with Kat (and DSP) thread

[Sparkletor]

No dusting of powdered sugar? You're losing your touch, Kat.

Edit: did she think if she cut them really tiny maybe Phil wouldn't eat so many?

 

[DiabeticSP]

Well then.

It seems that the official maid agreement does indeed include at least one cooked meal and one baked good a week.

Week 1: Burgers, Banana Bread
Week 2: Chowder, Mini Muffins
Week 3: Mexican, Cookies
Week 4: Chicken Pasta, Mini Brownies


The real question is what does she do during Sauce week?

She'll make his homemade italian sauce dood.

Are you kidding me? A GIRL could never understand the intricacies of proper sauce making.

That's what Phil never let Leanna help.

 

[Kermit the Frog]

Phil is making his special, 100% authentic Italian sauce with meatballs right now. It looks like vile shit.

Greasy, burnt meatballs. Just like in the old country!

Kat is actually helping! I bet that'll make Leanna so jealous! *snort*

Those of you that know the art of the cooking of foods: why the hell does he use a massive, tall pot to cook like a dozen meatballs? Can't he just use a skillet?

Same reason he uses a paring knife to cut onions. He's a fucking moron.

There isn’t one. You fry them in a pan and then finish them in the sauce. Also, as Kermit said, those are burnt to shit. What are the chances that either of them know to undercook the pasta and finish that in the sauce too?

Kat has shown minimum competency. I’ll lay 3:1 on her. No bet on Phil because he knows now that he’s seen your post.

He said himself that he uses Pam spray instead of butter or oil because he's too lazy to melt butter or heat oil. It's most likely laziness and I guess he wants to complete the whole thing in as few utensils as he can.

 

[Sparkletor]

The authentic Italian sauce making process has been handed down from generation to generation for untold ages. This is the correct way to make it. If you have any problems with that you obviously have never eaten true authentic Italian cuisine.

You know it is just right when you add enough sugar and water to make a tomato flavored kool-aid but slightly thicker.

 

[Prince Lotor]

It seems like he burnt the fuck out of the meatballs in exactly the same way as the videos with Leanna. . .so he's actually burning them like that on purpose? In the IG post of the pot with the lid on where he says, "Almost boiling", he has the burner turned all the way up. None of this makes any sense. It's like he's a bumbling moron who's lifeskills resemble a Kamikaze pilot on final approach.

Saw his first photo and thought the meatballs were at the bottom of a bin.

Looks like everything was cooked in the same pot to avoid washing up a second more suitable pan. That kinda pot is used for soups and stews and big batch cooking. I'm guessing he's making enough to last 14 months or however long he claims this stuff lasts him and needed a big pot.

But if you asked Phil he'd come up with some diatribe that 'that's how the Burnelli's have done it since they left Sicily, you moron' and he 'needed' a $200 pot or Grandpapi Guiessepi would turn in his grave.

I laughed at "Burnelli"

[Kosher Dill]

My bet on Phil's secret Italian last name is still "Brunelleschi".

I would think that he's either being lazy and doesn't want to wash something else when he's done. Or once the meatballs are done burning he'll just use the leftover grease in the bottom to build his authentic Italian "Sugo Zucchero" with added tomatoes.

Good post from @SoapQueen1 :

Excellent post on a Discord wondering why DSP is happy Kat lives with him now:

For reference here are the meals DSP felt were Instagram-worthy before Kat moved in (as far as I know she didn't help make any of these):

 

[DiabeticSP]

Those hungry man's were safer to eat than the fucking meatballs.

But Kat didn't help with those. Phil's just incompetent that's why he needs a maid to prepare edible meals for him.

 

[Jotaro]

DSP bemoaned how he had been eating like shit post Leanna and gained weight (noticeably) and that seemed to be one of the reasons he was hyped for new soulmaid. Only, Leanna actually made varied meals and tried to make them pretty healthy. Most of what Kat makes seems even worse for the waistline than the stuff DSP was making himself.

 

[Long time lurker]

I don't think those meatballs are burnt. Different cultures have different approaches to food prep and some people brown the meatballs. My only criticism is about the amount of fat/oil/whatever in that pot - IMO it's way too much.

If I were to guess, the reason for using the pot could be so that there is one less pot/pan to wash, to lend some flavor to the sauce and/or prevent the oil from splattering.

The authentic Italian sauce making process has been handed down from generation to generation for untold ages. This is the correct way to make it. If you have any problems with that you obviously have never eaten true authentic Italian cuisine.

There is a story I've heard a few times (don't know if it's true or not): A woman was cooking a ham and had it cut into two pieces. Someone asked her why she cut the ham in half and she said it was the way her mom did it and her grandmother before that.
She got curious, though, and decided to ask her grandmother the reason for cutting the ham in half. Her GM told her that it was because she didn't have a pan big enough to cook the ham whole.

I know you were being ironic, but sometimes the reasons we cook the way we do is because an ancestor didn't have a pan big enough.

"Almost boiling", he has the burner turned all the way up. None of this makes any sense.

I might be missing your point here. :powerlevel:I always have the burner on high until I achieve boiling, only after it's rolling I turn the heat down.
