@Huy Minimal is pretty much just wooden spoons for stirring and some kind of synthetic material spatula in a shape you like for basically everything in skillets.
You usually want slotted spatulas since they stick less, and thin is usually a good idea. Slanted seems silly to me since you can always just use the corner of a straight one.
A metal spatula can be nice for cast iron but isn't really required.
Add some kind of heat safe silicone spatula if you wanted something to scrape liquids around in hot things.
there is a salad we eat as a main course, usually takes the slices type ham cut into small pieces, but shredded baked ham should work too
I will have to look up the exact ingredients, it has ham, mushrooms (originally from a can, but you can use them raw or quickly roast them), cooked egg, olives, and some vegetables. I think carrots and tomatoes, I'll have to look them up.
@Huy cheap and durable - they don't flex like plastic, you can scrape hard on the bottom of the pan, and so on. And if you do manage to wear them down too much they were a couple dollars anyways.
2 tomatoes, 150 g fresh cucumber, 1-2 baked peppers (skin removed), 1/4 bulb of red onion, 100 g canned mushrooms, 120 g feta, 120 g ham, cut in small pieces, 100 g yellow cheese, 2 hard boiled eggs. Dressing: 4 tbsp oil, a few sprigs of parsley, vinegar and salt to taste, 5 olives for decoration.
@Huy I don't use tongs all that much but I have somehow ended up with metal for barbecue, silicone for basically anything (cooking or serving), and plastic just for serving.
@Jefromi is there a way to get Chrome to translate the site even though I have told it to not ask me for Bulgarian? I want to see how well it is doing really.
The next site says to use the same amount of cucumber, but 300 g tomato (this is more the amount I'd expect), 150 g of each meat and cheese, 4 eggs, and 3 heads onion instead of 1/4
it's not set in stone of course, you can vary the proportions.
On a totally unrelated note, I'm going through a favorite comic strip's archives
and now I thought of restarting, and didn't remember where to pick it up again. Then decided to go to the start, and that was good, because I've forgotten most of them.
umm, do you mean nerdy ones like the picture above (as opposed to other SMBC issues) or nerdy ones like SMBC itself (as opposed to other comic strips)?
I don't find this picture nerdy. Don't know if this is a good sign or bad.
Fair! I guess I put it in the category of comic book heroes, sitting around taking them more seriously than most, putting them in real world situations and pretending it makes sense.
@rumtscho Might not be as glamorous as you were imagining, we're out in the suburbs and just went to a regular big grocery store and a produce one, but still a nice change!
