Hi poorfags
Let's have a thread about foodhacks, or recipes that YOU have created.
Here's mine:
If you want to make rice taste better, you can mix soy sauce into it. The Japanese apparently do it too, but not in public as it is deemed rude and impolite.
Personally, I mix soy sauce and sweet chili sauce into it. It tastes great.

>>203And if you want to stay /fit/ but are too lazy or don't have enough time for exercise, you should buy wrist/ankle weights.
You can wear them all day long and after a while you will get used to the weight.
I think there are thin ones to wear under clothes, but they might be expensive.
Start off small, with 0.5 kg, and once you feel that you can lift more, go up another 0.5 kg.
This is only for arms and feet, so you might have to do something with your abs, like a set amount of situps every day or something. I'm not exactly an expert on getting fit, for me this is just to stay in shape.

Listen to your food.
If you think something might be going bad, put your ear to it and see if its making a crackling or fizzing noise. Very slight noise and its still pretty ok to eat it. Works with stuff like fruit and veggies and drinks. You can eat a fruit when its slightly fizzy and youll be fine.
Expiration dates and refrigeration begin to lose their meaning as you learn to identify whether your food is actually safe to eat or not by using your senses.

I have plenty of tricks, this is what i do weekly and spend very little money:
Buy:
- 1 whole chicken (possibly cut in 4 so you can store it in your freezer - should you have one - in 4 different bags and use 1/2 each time). Ask to your butcher to also give you the legs, the heart and the liver of that chicken too (of course ask him not to give you intestines and other harmful things, tell him we need to make a broth and he'll understand)
- 1 bag of rice
- Garlic head
- 3 onions
- 3 carrots
- salt&pepper
- dried chili peppers (also help reduce hunger, great way not to feel poor while you're underfeeding yourself)
- dried lentils
Completely unnecessary but if possible get your hands on some of these:
- bay leaves
- some rosemary branches
- a small sausage or cured salami
- 2 stalks of celery
Total cost: 5 euros
Now, some recipes.
Chicken stock and boiled chicken:
Take a big pot
In the pot put half a chicken in the pan, with bones and skin, legs and offal too, tasty motherfuckers.
Wash, peel and chop in half one onion, one carrot and one stalk of celery, put them in the pot
Break a couple chili peppers, some bay leaves and a couple rosemary branches in
Add some salt and some pepper to taste, then add water until the pot is almost full.
Put a lid on (or craft a makeshift lid with some tinfoil)
Set on low fire
Come back after 2 hours, now you have Chicken stock and Boiled chicken.
Rice:
Olive oil in a pot
Peel a clove of garlic, slice it in or, if you're a pussy, cover it with the side of your knife and stomp over the blade with the palm of your hand so that the garlic is crushed but doesn't break apart and you can remove it after cooking
Break a couple chili peppers, some bay leaves and a couple rosemary branches in
One ration of rice (i use a big cup which makes ~2 servings of rice)
Set on mid fire
When it's sizzling mix it with a spoon so doesn't burn or stick
When it's trying hard to stick to the pan, add 1 ration of chicken stock and 1 of tap water (so i use the same big cup i used for the rice, 2 times)
Add some salt and some pepper to taste
Cover with a lid or tinfoil makeshift lid
Low flame to a minimum
Come back every 10 mins and check the rice, usually after 12 mins rice is ready and water has dried
Now you have tasty boiled rice
Lentils:
Olive oil in a pan
Peel a clove of garlic, slice it in or, if you're a pussy, cover it with the side of your knife and stomp over the blade with the palm of your hand so that the garlic is crushed but doesn't break apart and you can remove it after cooking
Break a couple chili peppers, some bay leaves and a couple rosemary branches in the pan
Wash, peel and dice an onion, one carrot and one stalk of celery
Mid fire
When things are sizzling in the pan and onion is soft, add lentils
Mix all with a spoon on mid fire, let the lentils get some of that delicious oil
Add 1 cup of broth and 1 cup of tap water
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix with your spoon
Low flame to minimum
Cover with lid or makeshift tinfoil lid
Check every ~10 mins until cooked, usually takes 40 mins and if you overcook them who gives a fuck.
Make sure the water does not dry up tho, or they'll burn - if water is low don't panic just add a glass or two of water (or broth)
Now you have tasty lentils. Same recipe works with dried beans but you have to let them sogged in cold water for at least 12 hours prior to doing this.
Soggy stirfried Chicken
Olive oil in a pan
Peel a clove of garlic, slice it in or, if you're a pussy, cover it with the side of your knife and stomp over the blade with the palm of your hand so that the garlic is crushed but doesn't break apart and you can remove it after cooking
Break a couple chili peppers, some bay leaves and a couple rosemary branches in the pan
Wash, peel and dice an onion, one carrot and one stalk of celery
(do you see a repetition of processes? This is oil-garlic-spices-onion-carrot-celery sequence is called sautée, look it up because it's the basis of cheap tasty food)
Mid fire
When the onion is softened add the chicken we boiled for the broth (minus the legs!), without the bones; break the meat with your hands and just put it in the hot pan, you can also add the skin if you cut it in small slices - will add to flavour
Add salt & pepper to taste, curry or ground turmeric if you have it and want some esotic taste
Lower fire
Add one cup of broth
Mix the content of the pan every ~10 mins, when broth is reduced you'll have Soggy stirfried chicken
Now you have white rice, lentils, half a boiled chicken, half a stir fried chicken.
Price is ridiculous and you have food for about a week if you add some vegetables or boiled potatoes
Stay hungry, stay poor
Best of luck

>>204Well, if you want to get somewhat /fit/ fast, free, and with a minimum of effort, I'd advise you to look up isometric contraction. It's where you exercise by pushing your limbs against each other in such a manner that you don't actually move. Pushing your palms together in front of your chest is the most intuitive example, but you can actually use it to hit most muscle groups.
Each exercise takes seven-eleven seconds. Good for strength and tone, not so hot for size, but nothing's perfect.
John E. Peterson's book, "Isometric Power Revolution", can be found on most torrent sights. There's a lot of stuff about Christ and such you may or may not want to ignore, but the exercise list is as comprehensive as you can ask for. One thing I'd caution though, is that isometric exercises are not quite as safe as he states. You can absolutely get tendonitis if you have bad form, or overexert yourself.

Eggs don't need refrigeration
neither does butter, or cheese really
mayonnaise doesn't either
stuff that really needs it is milk, meat, and fruit juice

This is actually fairly likely to cause repetitive motion strain injuries.

This is actually legit because the "fizzing" noise is the creation of gases by bacteria. It's fermentation. If stuff is "fizzing", it's because there's active bacteria multiplying inside of the fruit or vegetable. Small amounts are usually fine, large amounts can cause you to shit yourself because the bacteria will fuck up your bowels. Would not trust anything that fizzes if you have sensitive bowels.
