/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Well…

It's bacon sale week, and the girls get all pissy if we run out. So I went down to the meat market this morning and paid like $23 for 10# of bacon to refill the big freezer. Ordinary stuff, not like double applewood smoked pepper rind thick cut or anything. (When NOT on sale, typically $40-$50 for basically the same stuff. No, I didn't win the lotto.)

I would probably buy capital equipment - more & better food storage shelving, another big freezer, maybe a fancy stove. Maybe one of those nice stand mixers with all the attachments.

The really really good stuff is perishable anyway, so you wouldn't stock up on it. You'd obviously stock up on anything that could be freeze stored without losing too much quality, as well as dry goods that last a few months-years in storage.

No point in buying 100 pounds of live lobster unless you've got a party about to happen, but a frozen side of beef has potential (remember that thing about the second/third freezer?).

If you do win the lotto, you're probably in a better position to not give a fuck about work's opinion of you, so you are more free to go to the market daily to get whatever is fresh.

But no, not about to just buy 17 truckloads of hot pockets and a new microwave.

First thing I would do is buy a huge amount of meat and learn to make jerky, just because I've always thought it would be fucking rad to do. I get that it isn't a super efficient use of meat, but hobbies aren't always about efficiency.

Expensive meats and cheeses. Like some really good Rochefort blue cheese with nice genoa salami. And get some honey for it as well.

That sounds really good right about now.

A entire room full of Asko laundry and kitchen appliances is the first thing I'll do.

>tfw no Asko 770 countertop dishwasher because super fucking rare

>let alone a D1705 built into a kitchen cabinet with a drain valve for those super fast wash cycles

I'm fucking proud of my 16004 top loader though, even in Sweden they're starting to become a rare sight. And mine even has a good timer!

On topic and /ck/ related, fuckhueg freezers set to -40C/F filled with enough bacon and other food to last me years, some hydroponic gardens, a biological farm, soda machines, shall I go on?

Oh, and loads of fresh foods without any faggotry on them (GMO and pesticides are a big no-no)

I'm sure you'd stuff yours with cocks.
