food 

I have delicious plans in the making for next week 🤤

re: food 

@wallhackio as a child I thought bell peppers were (going to be) spicy, probably because of some conflation between both jalapenos and the spice pepper. As an adult I just think they're kind of bland and I haven't really found a good way to implement them into anything.

re: food 

@The_T bell peppers get a lot better with some browning. you can chop them and toss them with oil and salt and bake em in the oven until they get some color. Or just saute them (you can add them to chopped onions for a soup base, for example)

I like them in chili and stews

re: food 

@wallhackio Holly/Amy has a thing her dad made that I tried making my own version of, that was, pierogies, sausage, bell peppers, and... I forget if there was another vegetable (maybe mushrooms? I put mushrooms in everything). But yeah, the bell peppers were always my least favorite part of it, they were so bland.

I could try salt, but the thing is due to my health I avoid sodium as much as possible; since all restaurant food is gonna have it in abundance, I avoid it in my own cooking.

re: food 

@wallhackio I guess I should probably try doing that whole thing in oil, but I never remember to have any around

re: food 

@wallhackio oh, also, another reason I hate it: I haven't mastered the order to cook these things in.

The pierogies are from frozen.

I put them in a large frying pan.

What order would you put frozen pierogies, kielbasa, bell peppers, and mushrooms, so that they cook kinda evenly.

re: food 

@wallhackio @The_T bell peppers then mushrooms then kielbasa and pierogis probably roughly simultaneously when the peppers are almost cooked (or i would fry the pierogi in a separate pan so they get crispy, but it would still be almost at the end)

i would also, personally, put onions in with the peppers

re: food 

@Satsuma @wallhackio I feel like if I did this the pierogis wouldn't warm up in time? they are frozen.

re: food 

@Satsuma @wallhackio also yes I think onions was one of the other ones, and not mushrooms; but also I should add mushrooms

re: food 

@The_T @wallhackio idk what frozen pierogis you are using or what size they are but mine take 7 minutes to cook which is substantially less than bell peppers take
