HamRHead Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 We don't have a TV, but I've seen some episodes of Chopped online. Pretty interesting. Also, I recently heard somebody recommend another cooking show. I think it was called Nailed It. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 We had Turkey, Stuffing, yam bake, mashed taters, and both pumpkin and apple pie. Good eats. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit disappointed they never did episodes with the secret ingredient 'Unflavored Gelatin!', 'Sucralose!', or 'Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil!'. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit disappointed they never did episodes with the secret ingredient 'Unflavored Gelatin!', 'Sucralose!', or 'Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil!'. I don't think I've seen "Chopped" but there are several cooking contest shows on the Discovery Home and Health channel here. Some are fun, some not so much. There's one called "Cooks vs Cons" that's fun, but another similar but way too silly one "Cut Throat Kitchen". We also get MasterChef in many varieties (USA, USA in Spanish, Mexico, Colombia, junior versions with children as contestants, etc.) But by far my very favorite cooking contest show is the Great British Bake-Off. They show seasons occasionally and I love them! I have fond memories of watching Julia Child on PBS! Lately I've really enjoyed watching Jacques Pepin's cooking videos on Facebook. I made his sweet potato recipe for Thanksgiving ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a professional chef who puts on a camera and records himself making interesting food for his family in his home kitchen, talking about what he's doing and the technique but also cooking in general. A lot of fun and very educational! https://youtube.com/c/JKenjiLopezAlt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good quick techniques that will serve you well. For instance this one: https://youtu.be/X2zLpB8Cfi0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 If you're able to use the Internet or a DSLR camera, there's no excuse for not learning how to make spaghetti with a basic red sauce with chunky veggies (and meat if you lean that way). Chili, too, and tacos, without a packaged mix. Don't be that guy we heard at the 7-Eleven several years ago, asking if they'd be open on Thanksgiving so he'd have some place to have 'dinner'. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off-topic, but the 7-elevens in Asia are much better. They have these really tasty rice packets...especially the ones in Taiwan and Japan.

I'm telling you, asian 7-elevens are better...also the employees are more friendly. I wouldn't write them off so soon! I traveled a lot one or two years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, 7-Eleven is a different thing entirely in Asia. They are actually well known to be good places to get food there. Seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I once got a slurpee from 711 in the states and it was the weirdest thing ever. I don’t know what you guys are doing down there but those are NOT slurpees. Weird foamy texture…. I don’t eat at the 711s here either.. except for muffins I guess.

I make, if I do say so myself, a wonderful Navy Bean Soup with a ham bone and serve it with homemade Corn Bread. Never had it for Thanksgiving though. Usually a must after Christmas Ham. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also born in a hospital. I gave birth in a hospital. And after more than 6 decades on the planet I have never been in the hospital otherwise. I also have not been sick with a cold or the flu but once in over 20 years. I am not a vegetarian but I do eat and love vegetables. I try to eat a balanced diet that it includes a variety of foods. That said I think genetics plays a larger part in overall health than diet. I highly advise though that if genetics are not on your side that you adjust your diet according to your own genetics or family health history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
