Random thread about food that doesn't really seem to have any cohesiveness

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Here's a bread-baking tip: punching or slamming the dough against the countertop (some people drop it into a pan on the floor) really helps develop the gluten.

My next step with bread is to buy a grain mill and grow my own grain.

OK...

I'm going to change the name of this thread to "general tips about any kind of food for any reason whatsoever".

then I'm going to start a thread specifically for good, cheap, nutritious recipes.

Not tips about where to get cheap Cookie Crisp, not tips about how to stuff jarred food with cheese and deep-fry it, not tips about how you don't like fucking freeganism.

Would you have any objections to my reposting my recipie cost breakdown in that other thread?

Dude.  Sorry to bugger up your fucking thread.

SOMETIMES I LIKE TO GO TO TACO BELL AND ASK THEM IF I CAN GIVE THEM $5 AND JUST DO A 30-SECOND "KEGSTAND" OFF THE MEATHOSE.

Prediction:  now your new thread will have more readers, and less posters, because you threw a hissy fit at how it drifted.  And it's not incoherent and random--it stuck to the purpose of how to find cheap food and cheap places to buy its makings.

But have it your way.

(or, just to because this forum is populated by asshats, it'll get more posts like you want because I said the above)

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Why not just leave the recipes here and move the other stuff into a "food chat" thread?

I mean, some people went to the trouble to post recipes. I'm not going to repost it just because you didn't like the thread drift.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Did you seriously just edit out your first post in this thread? You've got to be kidding me.

Your prediction is correct.
I see the point behind it him doing it.  There's junk food on the cheap, and then there's Frugal Gourmet.  I'll repost what I got, if we ever get a good read on what's up to snuff and what isn't.

Edit: This is setting me off for no good reason, I'm out until I can look at it level headed.

That's great, ECH.  I especially like the roast onion trick.

One question:  The turkey breasts I've seen don't have a "cavity", they're just large hunks of white turkey meat.  Would this work without the skeleton attached?

Sjaantze has a habit of stuffing under the skin. This has worked well for Turkey, Cornish Hens, Whole Chickens, Chicken Breasts, and Chicken Thighs. Recently she did a mix of sausage, dried cranberries, feta, dried apples and spices stuffed under the skin.... deeelicious.

I was hoping you would. I didn't want to do it without asking because, well, it's your post.

I've done that with whole turkeys and the result is fucking awesome. I like to use roasted garlic pesto with about 1/3 the normal amount of oil in it (since the fat in the turkey skin will replace it).

basically, this thread was intended for recipes or specific techniques only. I probably should have clarified that at the outset.

  Ya think?

Jesus.

That was me earlier.  Now I can do this:

"Price - Rite"  has fried cheese sticks and vitamin supplements on sale today.  I will dine well. 

(Actually, I'm thinking a beef teriyaki and rice.)
