I assume I am, at least.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 6:14 am

Yay 135!

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:00 pm

That's exciting. 134 seemed a bit depressing.

Now that it's gone I miss it.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Jul 18, 2015 4:43 am

Finally! That took forever, I imagine.

Let's hope this page is nicer to us

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sat Jul 18, 2015 9:58 am

Sure it will be. This page has

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Sun Jul 19, 2015 12:55 pm

It is a good page because I have both the first and last posts on it.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Jul 20, 2015 2:10 am

That remains to be seen.

I have Vibing_V in my house.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Mon Jul 20, 2015 9:30 am

Hi, Vibing_V!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Jul 20, 2015 9:20 pm

She escaped

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Jul 21, 2015 3:33 am

A likely story!

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Tue Jul 21, 2015 9:35 am

Dubious indeed.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Jul 22, 2015 10:17 pm

I'm full of curry

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 3:50 am

That's bad?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 12:09 pm

It was both good and bad. Good while I'm eating it, bad when I'm too stuffed to function.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 11:30 pm

The RDM had too much vegan Sloppy Joe this evening. The tempeh is killing him.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 6:45 am

What does that even consist of?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 10:09 pm

There's tempeh in vegan Sloppy Joe? Usually that kind of stuff just mixes wheat and soy.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 6:38 am

I'm gonna have to Google to find out what normal Sloppy Joe is

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 1:18 am

Hahaha. I'm not sure myself even though I had them as a kid. Like some kind of saucy low-grade beef sandwich. I didn't even like them as a kid.

Also, though you locked registration after SG day.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Jul 31, 2015 6:18 am

SG Day bots/spammers are finally completing their registration

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Fri Jul 31, 2015 9:38 pm

The RDM makes his own sloppy joes, mostly of tempeh and beans with a tomato sauce. They're way better than meat ones he remembers, because meat ones are gross.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Aug 01, 2015 4:12 am

Recipe plz!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Aug 01, 2015 11:57 pm

I still don't know what these things are

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Aug 02, 2015 6:24 am

Wikipedia says "a sloppy joe is a sandwich consisting of ground beef, onions, tomato sauce or ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and other seasonings, served on a hamburger bun." Or like I said, they're gross, saucy beef sandwiches.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Aug 02, 2015 9:32 am

Sounds rank. I'd try one

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Aug 02, 2015 4:02 pm

I wouldn't (I mean I did as a kid, but not now). I mean, obviously I'm a vegan, but if the RDM just said he substituted a veggie version of ground beef, I wouldn't be interested. I'm just curious if the tempeh ones are different/better.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Sun Aug 02, 2015 8:23 pm

I think I like sloppy joes?

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sun Aug 02, 2015 8:52 pm

1 package tempeh, cubed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 orange bell pepper, finely choped
8 oz. leftover tomator sauce
8 oz. ketchup
1/2 tsp sauce
1/2 tbsp Penzey Hot Chili powder (any chili powder could go here)
1/4 tsp ground pepper
2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire
1 tsp hot sauce
1 tbsp HP sauce
1 tsp malt vinegar
1 tsp liquid smoke
2 cloves garlic
1 cup white beans (Navy beans are the best)
4 buns

Steam the tempeh for 10 minutes in salted water. Drain, transfer to a bowl, add beans, crumble. Saute onion in oil until translucent. Add bell pepper, beans and tempeh, saute for a few minutes longer, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Add everything else, cover, simmer for 10 minutes or longer if you want it less liquidy.

Sounds interesting

In other news, I visited a tea factory 2 days ago, and a few days earlier some tea fields. I'll miss Asia for sure

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 3:25 pm

That's too many ingredients for something that sounds like pure filth.

I'm jealous!

RDM - What's "leftover" tomato sauce. I think I'll skip the ketchup, cause it sounds gross. Maybe I'd substitute more sauce.

What do you use for bread?

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 3:47 pm

No need to be jealous, the tea fields won't disappear so you can visit them too

RDM, speaking of tempeh, have you ever tried gado gado?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Aug 06, 2015 8:35 am

Unrelated: Sally had LFM in Poons!

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu Aug 06, 2015 10:47 pm

Leftover tomato sauce would be the same as tomato sauce. The RDM just happens to use sauce that's left over after he (or his wife) makes a bunch of sauce for something else.

No, the RDM doesn't even know what gado gado is.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Aug 07, 2015 8:28 am

You've all lost me...

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sat Aug 08, 2015 2:46 pm

Gado gado: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gado-gado

In other news, recently I had some curry flavoured bread. As in, bread made with usual ingredients + curry leaves. That's just pure genius, and now I want to get a bread machine so I can experiment with lots of cool/unusual ingredients.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Aug 08, 2015 3:13 pm

Why'd they have to ruin it with eggs?

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sun Aug 09, 2015 1:00 pm

Not sure, but you don't have to put any eggs in it

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Aug 09, 2015 6:46 pm

Make me some curry bread

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 10:59 am

As soon as I have a bread machine, sure!

My rice cooker as a cake baking mode, and apparently in theory it's possible to bake bread in it, but so far I've never tried. So for now if I tried it might turn into a complete disaster, a bit like that orange tea we made in Stamford once

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 8:56 pm

I'd forgotten about that

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Aug 12, 2015 2:30 am

Whoa! A rice cooker that can bake a cake? Brilliant! I want!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Aug 12, 2015 6:20 am

All I know about rice cookers was that the Chinese tourists in Tokyo are all obsessed with them.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Wed Aug 12, 2015 3:31 pm

I'm obsessed with my rice cooker too. When I had one in Shanghai I used it pretty much every day, and it was only a basic one. This time we got a better one, also with a steaming basket, and I love it. Baking cakes takes longer than with an oven but I don't care, they taste just as nice. As we don't have an oven it's better than nothing.

LG, just look for some online, when I researched the topic before getting this one I found several models doing this. I don't know if they're available in the US though.

Since we're talking about cooking appliances, this morning I learnt about Thermomix 5. It seems pretty awesome, super expensive though. Also, we're likely to move soon, so now is probably not the best time to invest in one.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Aug 12, 2015 6:08 pm

The most fancy recent cooking things I've obtained is owl-shaped jelly moulds

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 1:49 am

Actually, is it non-stick though? I used to use a rice cooker all the time, but stopped because the non-stick coating was coming off on food. I don't trust non-stick products.

I think the thermomix costs more than I hope to ever spend on kitchen appliances in my life.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 3:55 pm

I don't think I own a single thing where the non-stick still works.
..actually I won one thing. A tiny Calcifer frying pan which I got from the Studio Ghibli Museum gift shop and have used to make about 8 pancakes.
