My personal opinion about baked potatoes is you oil them up on the outside, maybe with olive oil, maybe just melted butter, but soak those bitches down, roll them in coarse salt and pepper, then crank it up to 450 at the least, and then bake them until they're crispy as shit on the outside, however long that takes, anywhere between an hour and two hours, then eat those bitches.

The outside should have papery, crispy skins while the inside should be fluffy and steaming.

For smaller potatoes, temp should be about 500, or even higher, until the same result occurs.

No baking pan, just directly on the rack.

Then maybe sour cream, who gives a shit? Just eating them with nothing else on them works, too.

This is pretty much how my local Roadhouse does theirs, absurdly delicious once you get the cook time down to a science.

So I'm going to ask anyone else here, any recommendations on making Aldi's spagetti sauce taste good? I haven't had much luck with the shit.

Nah it's no good. Most off the shelf brands aren't. Just get a can of plum tomatoes and whip them up with an immersion blender or just crush them by hand if you like it chunky, add oregano, garlic, olive oil and maybe a touch of salt, then either cook it for a while (or at a low temp for a really long while) or don't cook at all for pizza sauce. Maybe a dash of sugar, as in a half teaspoon or less.

Then you can either use that base sauce or add meat, mushrooms, onions, peppers, capers, or whatever. A couple anchovies blended in or fish sauce add something too. You can also try to jazz up the store bought stuff but it's still always going to be too sweet. And sauce should never be made with soybean oil, canola, or any of that crap. Olive oil or butter.

The Aldi sauce has sugar as the third ingredient. That's just way too sweet and there's no way to undo it except by adding more tomatoes or unsweetened ingredients.

Yeah the brand at Aldi's - Reggano, I think? - is so sugary. Also has given me horrible heartburn every time I've had it. Gross.
 
I'm replying to this here because it's obvious an autistic slapfight about Russian military capability doesn't belong on the Joe Biden thread.

OH! OH!

I"VE SEEN THIS EPISODE BEFORE!

Now, tell us all about how the Apache can't fly more than 30 minutes and the M1 can't shoot on the move and how the MRLS won't work!

I love this episode of "RUSSIA IS DA GWEATAST!"

Yeah, because it's not like America has ever lost wars to opponents that are technologically inferior before.

I'm not a Russiaboo. I just know that if Russia invades the Ukraine, it will probably be supported by ethnic Russians (which there are a lot of, especially in the east of Ukraine) and will be able to supply itself easily because, unsurprisingly, the Ukraine is near Russia. America doesn't have that advantage.

So to add another nice simple way to cook potatoes, take a sharp ass knife and split your tater about half way straight down the middle lengthwise (do not cut in half). Brush on some cooking oil, sea-salt the FUCK out of it, and dust them with garlic powder where you made the slice. Cook 55-65 minutes on 400F and enjoy.

Americans realy cant cook...

1. dont eat spagetti with tomato sauce like some nigger, Cabonara is the only good Spagetti dish.


2. take some Carrots, onions and celery and a tiny amount of garlic, heat up oil, ad a bit of butter, add the bacon, than after a min or 2 add the vege and half and half ground meat, than add tomato paste and water after a couple of minutes, let it simmer four 2 hours or more, add white wine or light red when the liquid get to low. serve with spagetti and some fresh herbs. i medium heavy red fits well with it since its red meat.

3. dont try to make arab sauce, that stuff is for fags.

This is a lie. And a good lasting bit of Soviet propaganda. The Vietnamese had advanced aircraft, AA systems, armor, small arms and intelligence. All provided by the Soviets.

That's why I prefer to let actual Italians do the more complicated shit. But marinara is super easy. That's kind of the point of it, it's literally in the name. That and whore pasta.

That's not American spaghetti, that's a salad.

If you understand the average american, we fucking hate salads.

Well, well, well, Hanoi Jane as well as other Hollywood commies who preach communism for the thee but not for me, didn't mentioned that.

On another topic, Facebook and Google are really birds of a feather...

An amended version of a lawsuit filed in December of 2020 by multiple states accuses the CEOs of Facebook and Google of being direct participants in what the suit says is an illegal agreement to corner the digital advertising market.

The lawsuit has claimed that Google and Facebook acted to throttle competition.

The lawsuit claims the tech giants agreed to decrease prices paid to publishers, cut out rivals and manipulate ad auctions, according to CNBC.

“Google understood the severity of the threat to its position if Facebook were to enter the market and support header bidding,” the complaint reads, according to MarketWatch. “To diffuse this threat, Google made overtures to Facebook.”

When the initial complaint was made public, the outlines of the allegations were complete, but the text of the lawsuit was heavily redacted.
