Vibes based cooking

According to the label? I just checked most of it (GV, McCormick) has no info whatsoever.

The exceptions are spice mixes (rotisserie chicken, old bay) and a single expired bottle of Durkee celery seed (maybe their other spices are like this, but afaik this is the only one we have).

Best I can do is try different spices when sautéing vegetables.

tried beer for the first time yesterday, thought it would be better than the smell. Nope. Struggled through 3 sips then gave it to someone else
I don't really get alcohol tbh. Ive only had like 3 or 4 drinks but no matter what it is they all taste bad

It's an acquired taste.

Unless it's an IPA, they're gross and if someone drinks them then I assume they're just suffering to be pretentious.

/s?

Beer is definitely an acquired taste. Plus there is a big fad around IPAs lately which are stupidly bitter even by beer standards

You guys don't cook by smell?

I fucking haaaaaaate hops, i hate the smell, i hate the taste, i also hate beer because i can literally smell the fermentation and it smells rotted.

Plenty of other ways to get turnt out there my friend

IPA haters rise up

Im not usually a fan of alc but I do enjoy rice wine (korean flavored ones) and choya plum wine. Maybe you could try those? They're moreso a sweet alcohol and doesnt have that weird earthy bitter taste imo

A lot of IPAs are gross. Some are quite good. Bitterness is the most maligned of all tastes. Tons and tons of bitter things that people love and every one of them is a love/hate acquired taste thing.

Grapefruit, bitter melon, bitter black coffee, any sort of bitter beer (IPAs aren’t the only one), heck even burnt sugar!

All cooking is vibes based.

It's baking where you've got to plan it out like d-day.

The double IPA, the "I'm not an alcoholic" drink of choice.

Man, now I love making bread even more.

It's a bit of am acquired taste but beers are by far not all created equal. There's a stupid amount of diversity and large differences.

But if you don't enjoy it don't feel the need to force yourself.

Terrible how they decieve us

[email protected]

That sounds like you are making yourself indispensable.

Can anyone explain what’s going on in the picture for me?

So, the first thing you need to know about alcohol is it's an intoxicating drug. It is a depressant, its short-term effects include reduced inhibitions which in the moment can feel like increased confidence, and overall reduction in physical motor skills, plus a mild euphoria. Also makes your face feel slightly numb. That's most of alcohol's selling point.

Alcohol on its own is rather unpleasant to have in your face. A lot of cocktail culture sprung up around hiding alcohol with other flavorings so they're in any way pleasant to swallow.

You might try something like whiskey and coke, I'd specifically go with American or Canadian whiskies here; scotch doesn't really bring the right flavors for this. There's a reason Jack Daniels or Crown Royal are stereotypes. Vodka can also be a way in; it doesn't bring a lot of flavor of its own so adding it to fruit juices can get you used to booze within familiar flavor profiles. Don't worry about sticking to posted recipes, drop a tablespoon of vodka into a tall glass of orange juice and see what it does, then start upping the ratio.

Get used to that, you may then start exploring cocktails, getting into wine or beer, or neat spirits.

...let me introduce you to single cask-strength malts: one drop, drawn delicately through your lips, let diffuse across your palate by capillary action, that's how i learned to appreciate alcohol for the first time after four decades of not getting it...

For a hot minute there near the end of the Obama administration, craft beer was a thing in this country and we had some excellent beers. Then Trump got elected and I haven't seen a craft beer that wasn't an IPA or a token jet black "oatmeal stout" since.
