Am I becoming a food blogger?

in #food6 years ago (edited)

Having gotten back home from my bicycle trip, I've been actually kinda enjoying cooking, I guess because it's really easy at home than on the road.

Today I made this dish that is... I don't actually know what it is – I just like to throw things together in a manner that I see fitting. But it involves nachos. Ha! You're hooked now, can't escape!

First, I chopped couple onions and the left-over zucchini that I didn't use all for barbequing, and fried them for a while.

I don't actually know why I'm blogging about the food I'm doing, because I find food blogs boring, so why would I give you something that I wouldn't even read myself? Well, I can always hope that my ramblings here between provide some substance – though you're still going to be left hungry because no matter how much yada I do, the food ain't coming to you.
Perhaps it is because I'm at a point of my life where I'm trying to figure my own shit out, what I wanna do with my life – how I want to earn a living. And, what is the point of earning a living? Obviously, it is to get money so that we can buy, you guessed it, food, to keep ourselves alive.
It all goes back to food.

I don't know if talking about the food itself helps me to figure out a calling, it sounds kinda backwards. Although you still need the food first to find the calling, cause otherwise you'll die before you even find anything.

Then some mince.
No, I didn't it leave it like that.

I thought that perhaps I should've done this with soy granule instead, because the conditions where livestock is raised are usually quite questionable. Though I don't know the specifics of it in Finland. I think that's a problem, we don't know. These things should be transparent with consumers having an easy access to the whole process of the production of the food. Of course producers wouldn't like it, and to my knowledge there has already been lobbying against documenting the conditions of animals in food industry.

Since I'm aware of this stuff and still decide to consume that, does it actually make me more evil of a person compared to one ignorant about this?

Ignorance is a bliss they say – wouldn't have to struggle with these ethical dilemmas.

With blood on my heavy hands from endorsing the murdering of animals, I fittingly painted the food with red sauce – salsa for the flavor and then just some cheap tomato smithereens for the bulk. There was some cheaper salsa in the store, but it had fuckton of sugar in it (20g/100g). Even though I'm not afraid of sugar – I can eat a full tub of ice cream in one go without having a moral hangover – I don't want any of that stuff in my real food. At least let the food be food without adding extra sugar for "flavor" there, ok?

Am I getting bit too grotesque with my cooking language?

I think Gordon Ramsay wouldn't have a problem with it.

I think I forgot to put up the most important disclaimer here: "If you're a vegan, you may want to pass this." Oh, right, should've said that in the beginning. Well, I'm telling you now, it's not too late. Run, before I ruin food forever.

Maybe it's actually good, so you can read my food blog and not get hungry. Sounds like a win-win to me.

Now you just put the massacre sauce stuff into a casserole and add nachos. Depending on your taste, you can put little into the stuff, or only throw some on the top, if you don't like them slightly mushy, I kinda like, call me weird if you will.

Then just cheese on top, and into oven. 175 degrees or so, for like 30 minutes – up to you how crunchy you like the top.













Fuck, I knew I forgot to add something...













Beans!

I know I already added the nachos and cheese on top, but no problem; I just peeled them off like a plastic surgeon rolling off a face for some bone restructuring.

"Let's add some bulk in there..."

"...and your face is as good as new!"

Oh and then I just boiled a few potatoes, because it's basically like a mince sauce, which goes with both, nachos and potatoes – versatile!

Golum wouldn't approve this, but luckily we don't live in a fantasy world.

That's pretty much it. And yes, the food was good, despite the questionable nature of the dish and potential neglect of higher moral principles.


Since you read all the way through this awful food blog, I will give you some extra explicit content at the end instead of making it into a separate shitpost.

This content is vegan, unlike the above don't worry.

So, I have this one friend who works in a warehouse, and he called me that there's a batch of dried fruit going out of date which they're giving away, and he asked if I wanted some. As you can guess, if it's free food, I'm saying "yes".

Oh, nononono, I didn't mean I would eat my spouse... that's not what I was saying...
I will just shut up before I say anything else wrong.

Long story short, now I have 62,5 kg of dried fruit.

Now you know what I'm going to bring to Steemfest with me.


Let's look inside one of these.

A mixture of dried apple, apricot, plum, pear and peach.

Hahahhahhaaaaa! Call me mad, but I was just laughing at this sight. I mean just look at it! It's a motherfucking 12,5 kg block of dried fruit!!!

@lemony-cricket already suggested I could make those into muesli bars, I think I will try that. Seems like I'm becoming a food blogger, who would've known.

Sort:  

I read this while I waited my plate on a restaurant, so I guess that I was hungry

Well, if you were getting food soon after reading this, I guess there's no problem then :D

Yeah, the plate just came when I finished reading, so all good 😁

Good timing! :D
