when i see how very affluent men live when they don't have a doting-mother / maid... like this shit. even if he weren't an absolute turd out in the world, i could not respect him for living like this. this is how a toddler with a credit card would live: the feeding room is a giant screen, a big nap chair aimed at it, and 20lbs of frozen fish on a bun with ketchup.
like jesus, you're rich as fuck. in DC. order in for chrissakes. or hire some personal chef to drop you off stuff you can reheat. what a weird ass gremlin.
I've been complaining for years that our overlords are so fucking boring. Some of the most intensely concentrated wealth and power in human history and this is how they spend it. If just one of them had an underground fortress in a volcano I'd respect them all so much more. Screw fancy cars, buy some elephants to haul yourself around town. Hire enough people to throw yourself an old-school Roman triumph to get to capitol hill. Something
To be fair salmon is i credibly hard to prepare. I cosider myself a pretyy good cook and its one of the things i cant get rigth. It either ends up dry or undercooked. At best i can compensate with the sauce but thats cheating. It dosent help that its expensive so i dont try that often.
salmon is one of the more forgiving seafoods, since if it's a bit overcooked it's still somewhat moist due to the fat content, and if it's somewhat undercooked, it's still safe to eat (as long as it was stored and handled properly). also assuming you're cooking fillets, you can look at the side to get an idea of whether it's done. the main ways it gets fucked up are if you don't fully thaw it before cooking, or cook it way, way, too long.
Idk me and my staff cooked salmon for a month and yeah we used a sauce but it was pretty straightforward and my staff is an intermediate cook in his own right. Dont think I could cook it confidently on my own yet but also im a perfectionist thats scared to cook anything but pasta and scrambled eggs on my own.
very, very few. interestingly, of the extremely small number of examples I can think of, they're all on the republican side. like, a few of them are legitimately golf buddies, go on vacation together, their kids are friends, etc. on the Democrat side, I really can't think of anyone I've known over the years who has legitimate, non-transactional friendships.
I’d imagine trying to make friends as a powerful person, it’s very difficult to tell when someone likes you vs when someone wants something from you. I’m often grateful that people don’t have a good reason to ingratiate themselves to me. I’m too autistic for that shit.
the realest. they have fond memories of raping children together at the afterparty of an important political fundraiser, and now they have to keep each other's secrets for life.
Is that something people do? Put a little panko on baked fish? actual question because i have to make 2 special little meals every day for these random people who claim to have allergies and sometimes they tell me to bake some cod for one of them and it is just the saddest looking meal i've ever seen
Oh yeah absolutely, put a kind of thick marinade (mayo-based is easy) on some fish, let it hang out in the fridge for a little while, then dress it in panko and bake it. If you don't mind making your own bread crumbs, you can crisp them up in butter to add a nice flavor.
You can make fish sticks or baja style fish tacos. If your friend cant have wheat you can use rice floor. Rice is generally procesed in a way to remove the poisonus bits of the grain. Also cod is better smoked and fried with onion and pepper than baked.
If you must cook or fry large fish fillets, large fish like marlin or tuna or etc. have bits that look a diferent color because they have a lot of fat. these are the easiests parts to cook. They shouldnt be more expensive because people usually do not want them because of the wierd color.
The best effort-to-delicious ratio for salmon I’ve found is literally just mix brown sugar with Dijon mustard until it tastes good to you. Smother that bad boy and bake it for about 15 minutes at 400. Serve with rice and some soy sauce🤤
There are so many easy way to prepare salmon this is nuts. You can literally season and bake, or put in a small amount of effort to pan fry (you just let it sit skin side down for ages to crisp up well). Farmed salmon can almost ubiquitously be thawed, cut, and eaten as sushi.
If I had tons of money I’d just pay someone to smoke my salmon.
Really easy recipe for salmon that I used all the time when I was off my meds and could barely fathom getting a plate out of the cupboard.
Get a salmon filet out of the freezer. You haven’t been shopping in weeks, but buy these in bulk, so there’s just a pile of them in an otherwise empty freezer.
Put the filet in a little pan. The pan is still on the stove because this has been every meal for 3 days.
Put some water in the pan. Enough to have about half the salmon covered. If you put too much water in, you’re now making British food, which is gross. Your ADHD is ravaging your life. You will almost certainly forget about the pan while cooking it for a minute or two and water stops it from creating a toxic cloud of Tony Chachere’s or from burning the one side of the salmon.
Dump in some seasoning. Get the amount wrong several meals in a row until you figure out the kind and amount that you want.
Cover with a lid and cook. The water will boil. You’ll probably wanna flip it at some point. Again, fuck this up repeatedly meal after meal until you figure out what works best. You’ll overcook it. You’ll undercook it. Eventually you’ll figure out the right amount of water, seasoning, and time to somehow make boiled salmon flaky and tasty without endangering yourself.
Dump the water. Eat it out of the pan with a plastic fork. Do not think about microplastics. Stand in the kitchen for about an hour. What do you do for that hour? Who’s to say? This whole process probably already took you about 2 hours for some reason.
If you ever get medicated again, you’ll be pretty good at cooking salmon. This is more or less how I’ve learned every single dish I’m good at making. Get depressed, prepare it as an obsession food, and just iterate until your life has a hint of joy in it.
Everyone weighing in with their recipes. Lots of garlic salt, then so much cayenne that you can't see the fish anymore. Saute in butter. Obviously inspired by blackened fish recipes but stripped down to the absolute essentials.
