the butter is meant to mellow the long duration low and slow pot roast and add fat to a tougher cut of meat when you lack cauling to do a wrap or you have a salt pork haunch or something. this is also done with some game animals like moose which can be too lean and will tend to burn without oil or something. it is the opposing technique to adding flour to fatty cuts of meat for stewing/crock pot. what he's doing is throwing random shit together and adding heat which is "cooking" in a technical sense. you generally do not do this sort of thing in an oven unless it's a dutch oven and even then, it's not a high temperature dish. cooking fats/oils in a convection oven without care is a good way to start a fire.
Moose aren't lean, they're pretty well loaded with fat. You're likely thinking of elk. That aside, butters not what you're supposed to use in situations like that, it has too low of a boiling point and will spit, burn and potentially start a fire in your oven. Its one of the fats you're explicitly not supposed to use in oven cooking for that very reason. Pork fat in some form is the usual go to for such situations
Maybe his current apartment shouldn't have any sharp knives either - glad the wranglers dropped off a soup spoon this time
Says alot that his previous place didn't allow sharp knives. Which is what he's really saying there. The rest was excluded because they didn't provide them and he never bought them. No apartment building, even for speds is going to try to stop being from having a soup spoon or a ladle. But all of them usually have restrictions against having things that can be used as a weapon. He clearly didn't realize he just outed his former housing manager as not trusting anyone in the building, including him, with a knife.
That said..... I hope its just the way he worded things but it sounds an awful lot like he's talking about chopping up the ingredients for a seafood soup with with a blender....
I'm going to just come out and say this - doubly so because everybody knows lucas reads these posts, but lucas should not be allowed to do that under any circumstances whatsoever. In fact he shouldn't be allowed around seafood if he's the one cooking it, let alone for other people. Lucas does not understand even the very basics of food safety or sanitation, pisses in sinks, doesn't bathe regularly or wash his hands before he handles food. He also doesn't clean things properly. So here is what will happen if he really does go through with chopping up the ingredients for a seafood soup in the blender:
Lucas will cut up seafood in the blender, will not put in the time or effort to take it apart and clean it properly and will put it back into storage without doing so. Either he or his roommate will then use it again in the future to cut something else up. Then anyone who eats anything made in said blender will get violently ill and could very well end up in the hospital, from seafood poisoning and salmonella. At which point lucas will either be kicked out or placed under mandatory supervision and restricted in what he's allowed access to, lest someone get sick again and sue mallon place over it
This is a dumb as rocks hobo who despite being told repeatedly that cross contaminating vegetables with raw chicken was dangerous and was going to make him sick, ignored it and claimed he knows what he's doing and it was fine because he was cooking it for 'a long time' despite the fact it was at a temperature low enough that it would not kill any salmonella bacteria, a fact that was also explained to him multiple times. Doing that with chicken is playing russian roulette with food poisoning, you might get lucky and get away with doing something stupid once or twice. But seafood? You fuck with that and you will get sick. So sick you'll wish you were dead for a few days. One bad oyster at an all you can eat place (yeah I know, stupid move on my part) alone put me on the bathroom floor for nearly a week, and thats coming from someone who did gym classes with temps of 104 and ran laps for a week with a fractured spine

$100 on one meal?
it's the fourth day of the month.
Lucas will starve, this will be hilarious.
He mentioned it was $100 spent on meat specifically. I don't think it was just that roast. Probably 3 or 4 pieces of meat he bought because they were expensive so he thinks that means they're good and make him look classy and give him some kind of bragging rights to show off that he's totally not like the other low brow hobos confined to the shelter and street. He blew most of his EBT though most likely. So I wouldn't be surprised to hear alot of ebegging in the next week or two. He probably thinks it was fine to do that because his $20 for unblocks is totally going to start working any day now and he'll be swimming in cash
