Computer related:
- Don’t be your family computer savy guy, you just found yourself a bunch payless jobs…
- Long desks are cool and all, but the amount the space they occupy is not worth it.
- Block work related phone calls at weekends, being disturbed at your leisure for things that could be resolved on Mondays will sour your day.
Buying stuff:
- There is expensive because of brand and expensive because of material quality, do your research.
- Bulk buying is underrated, save yourself a few bucks, pile that toilet paper until the ceiling is you must.
- Second hand/broken often means never cleaned, lubricated or with easy fixable problem.
And will lack flavor and have a horrible mouth feel.
I guess it depends on the brand (mostly the method of freezing them). We use both fresh and frozen but it also depends on what meal we’re making.
Yeah, method of cooking is huge. Frozen broccoli won’t brown up in the oven like fresh, but it will saute or steam just as well
Depends what you’re making, and how you cook it. You have to keep in mind they’re usually already blanched so it’s easy to overcook. Peas, for instance, you just put frozen in a strainer and run a little hot water through them to melt the ice crystals, then stop. Add them to your hot dish at the end. Making creamed spinach? Defrost your frozen chopped baby spinach just enough to squeeze out the excess liquid, and stir into your hot cream sauce. By the time it’s hot again, it’s cooked enough.
