Beef stroganoff looks like barf but tastes delicious.

As someone long guilty of making delicious grey slops, I made a couple recent posts with ways you can add colour/texture to make things look more appealing without much flavour change.

I like squeeze bottles with tiny openings because you can "decorate" with really bold sauces, while hardly using any. So for a stroganoff you could lay down thick stripes of sour cream to keep it traditional, or very thin stripes of a chili sauce that brighten things up without overpowering. For other recipes you can mostly dodge the food, giving people the option to drag their food through it or just leave it as garnish (see steak below)

Smoked paprika.

Yeah so I made this. I went with mozzarella instead of burrata for financial reasons (broke nigga). Looks gay as usual, but tastes good, I really enjoy the contrast between saltiness and sweetness. Thanks a lot for the recipe!View attachment 7745380

Burrata doesn't keep well and is hard to portion out (it's usually sold in a tub with only two big balls filled with something akin to ricotta and cream), anyway, so I don't blame you for skipping it.

I made tea in a teapot today and I already feel considerably gayer, more effeminate and more British.

I got the idea searching for a replacement for cigars (not because I want to quit but because I had/have what seems like mild pneumonia and don't feel comfortable risking it yet) and that seemed to fit the "warmth in mouth," "rhythmic" (if you care to) and "consuming" aspects of cigars, plus somewhat buzz (in a different way). I just made the pot and drank it indoors because I had shit to do. The pot was one I got from a neighbor years ago and never used to the point I actually straight up forgot what it was.

It strikes me as a completely extraneous tool, but I did feel more fancy.
