Basically the title. I want to learn more about some ingredients or food items that you use frequently in your cooking and that aren’t super common where you live.

Example: Roasted sesame oil. Didn’t know there was such a thing until a year ago, and I never want to miss it again.

    I’m surprised by how much I use this stuff, and the competitor Slap Ya Mama. I started buying a can for red beans and rice, but it’s just perfect for seasoning eggs, marinating chicken, etc.

      For about seven years, I lived as a traveling software guy. Extended Stays were my preferred hotels: with a full sized fridge, and an okay stove - it’s not a bad life. I would make up big batches of land gumbo and freeze most of it.

      Celery, bell pepper, onion, beef sausage, dark meat chicken thighs, all chopped fine, in the roasting pan. Butter roux, four hours browning. A butter roux will never get as dark as those NOLA roux. Don't want to scorch the butter. The chicken skins, bones and drippings, boiling in hot water. Run through a sieve into the roasting pan And here's the Tony's , in the back, my clothes all over the bed.
