Visited a friend yesterday who just came from a grueling 12-hour shift and surprised him with some food i made. I whipped up some beer batter (dark beer, sifted flour, salt, baking soda, garlic powder, sweet paprika powder) and fried some onion rings with that. I soaked chopped eggplant in saltwater with tons of dried thyme and rosemary for an hour, took them out, patted them dry and also battered and fried them with the beer batter. Pan-fried some Schnitzels, prepared the classic way: Tenderized the meat first, then soaked them in beaten egg, put in flour and afterwards in breadcrumbs, shallow-frying in a mixture of sunflowerseed oil and butter.
All in all, a pretty good meal, the onion rings were especially tasty.
I feel like a complete retard, I tried a new pizza dough recipe and the shit didn't rise, not once but twice! Fuck my whole life
Dude, it happens from time to time. Be happy that you wasted only relativly inexpensive ingredients.
I made some shepherd's pie.
I'd eat at your place, looks very tasty and i like that bowl you served the food in.
Edit: Made one of my favourite childhood poverty dishes today (though with current food prices it's far removed from a poverty meal), i call it German Lasagna. Haven't had it in forever. The base is cooked maccheroni, then i mixed in diced ham and onions and a can of peas and carrots. Whipped up a besciamella and poured it over the ingredients, shredded cheese on top and also some german hayflower cheese i had laying in my fridge for a while and which needed using up. I let it rest, covered in tinfoil, for 10 minutes and then eat. My mother didn't bother to make a besciamella when i was a kid and just used heavy cream instead, it's tasty that way, too.
