What's cookin', good lookin'? Part II

Your risotto looks lovely, seela.
Do you cook the mushrooms the whole time, or add them at the end? I would be afraid they might get rubbery.

No, I don't cook them the whole time. I added them when there was maybe 5-7 minutes left. They also release quite a bit of liquid, so you have to adjust the amount of liquid you add accordingly.
 
I am spending some time in the house of someone who was a line / dinner cook their entire career to date. They are making potato salad, and the mixture to season it? Olive oil, vegetable oil (by the bucket) mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, and sugar. OMG, they are going to expect me to eat it :eek: :eek: :eek:

Here is the mix before going on the potatoes.. So oily and gross! I just can't do it :(

Talk about a serious clash of cooking styles.
 
I've never seen potato salad made this way. Is this a special kind or is this just unique to this person?

:eek:

I don't know. I have never seen it either, but they seem to think they are extremely clever in doing it this way, so I really don't want to ask too many questions. If I talk about it for even 30 seconds, I will not be able to hide the depth of my horror...

No... just no. :mad:
 
Well, I lived, and managed to force down 3 bites so as not to be rude.
It was... horrible. I feel violated! :(
 
From the looks of it, just drop a potato on the floor and go for the gusto.
 
I made a cheeseburger salad and it was good but my stomach is all uuuugh.

Low carbing again, trying to eat cleaner.
 
So I made Fried Chicken sandwiches, and Mashed potatoes and Gravey, wife decides to sleep more.

😤😤😤
 
I have a chicken caesar salad sitting here next to me uneaten.
Math test practice and this other thing is a bit more important.
