I don't disagree but I use one small paper bowl with everything mixed together (so I can sample them together) . One bowl, recycling, done. Not 6 bowls with a sprinkle from each. One bowl: bawush - spice bath.
Pat (@endcase.bsky.social) reply parent
I will dot That ass well. The chefs on here will tell you it's cheating, but they have an army of sues chefs behind them, buying, cleaning, and cuttings the veggies. They are yelling "but you are cheating" I can do it so much faster. Fuck them.

Everything is ready at the same time. Not a bit of waste. No sous chefs. Perfect.

There are pre-cut and washed alternatives from the grocery store. They all cost 3x their unprocessed counterparts. You do you.
Pat (@endcase.bsky.social) reply parent
It's not the glass bowls. It's that it takes time to prep the bowls. It takes time to wash & prep the bells peppers, mushrooms, and carrots. The chefs are just like "take a sprinkle of bell pepper" (bought, washed, prepped)... And you will done in no time! It's not a 30 minute meal, it's hours.
Pat (@endcase.bsky.social) reply parent
Just add dragon fruit... which I'm sure you have on hand.
Pat (@endcase.bsky.social) reply parent
Okay, but it's all pre-prepped. All the veggies are clean, the meats marinated. Throwing it on the grill is easy Try coming home from the grocery store where everything needs to be cleaned and prepped and cooked. Not the same. The food truck people work all night to get things ready.

No, it's always me - the husband. My wife doesn't do dishes (see original post). Prep, Cook or Bake, then dishes.

I don't want to watch a chicken baking for 40 minutes. I also don't want them to promise that this is a 30 minute recipe when the fucking chicken takes 40 minutes by itself!
Pat (@endcase.bsky.social) reply parent
Okay, but are your veggies all prepped by a sues chef? Pre-marinared meats? I'm just commenting that the recipe expectations are unrealistic. That all of the veggies are pre-cleaned and dried, the meat is ready to go, the plates & utensils aren't waiting for the machine to be done.

I will but if I see one pre-prepped bowl of spices, or pre-prepped piece of protein, I'm out. No where is the paprika? Where is the cumin? Hunting around the cabinets? If he has it at hand it's not authentic. I'm talking about actually cooking at home.

But do you put out like a half-cup of salt when you just need a pinch? Do the cups stay out, and full of stuff, full time? The time prepping the cups, plus the time doing the dishes later, is what bothers me.
Pat (@endcase.bsky.social) reply parent
That is my wife. She is short and cursed with "Tyrannosaurus arms" - can't reach shit in the back. It take 10 minutes to assemble the spices if it's not just S&P, onion, and garlic.

Did she have the little glass bowls of spices. Little plates of pre-diced onions, bell peppers, mushrooms? That of all takes *time*.

I would love to see a cooking show where they do everything in a home kitchen (a small one). No little glass bowls of each spice set out. No pre-prepared chicken breasts read to go. Everything done by scratch. Then let them say "it's an easy meal to whip up in 30 minutes!" Fuck you.

This reminds me of when my wife bakes something. "I'm making gluten free scones!" "That's great!" An hour later the kitchen is destroyed. Measuring spoons everywhere, dirty cutting boards, rolling pins, knives, *everywhere*. She doesn't do dishes. *sigh*. "This recipe is SO easy!"

The one we went to was just "Sambo's", and the name was based on the founder's names not the book. It did adopt themes from the book, like the tiger butter, and had a mural of tigers chasing a dark skinned kid around a tree. You didn't miss much, it was like a Denny's with a touch of racism.
