Fast and dirty guide to the flavors I keep around.

fuckingrecipes:

90% of the shit I cook, it uses these spices and herbs. 
Here’s a guide to the spices I keep, a general flavor profile, and a suggestion for use. The bold is spices I find myself using most often, and running out of fastest. 

I do own other spices, like white pepper and thyme and mustard powder, but I don’t…. I don’t actually use it? Like, I get spices as gifts and some of them just sit sadly in the back of the spice display, all dusty. Spices I don’t keep is at the bottom. 

So these listed spices are things I actually actively use in cooking, and can remember using in the last 3-6 months. 

Excuse me while I go sniff my spice shelves.

I found this Youtube channel run by a Japanese chef and it’s actually better than porn? First all all his cinematography is off the charts. Youtube videos have no business looking that good. Second of all, everything he makes looks SO TASTY, and he explains the recipes in such a simple, soothing, manner. Third off all, he does this all while his two adorable kitties watch??? Like… they are so intent on what hes doing but they never run around or hop on the counter???? He has a stool for them to sit on as he makes his recipes Im gunna die

Look at this and tell me it isnt the best thing on youtube

he and his (American) wife have a youtube vlogging channel all about being an international couple and they have thREE CATS THAT HE COOKS WITH

You should see the video where he restores a knife…

Incorrect, he has two cats he cooks with, Haku and Nagi. If Poki were permitted into the kitchen when Jun cooked, he would immediately throw himself into the pan, determined to eat whatever was in it.

Poki is my favorite cat. uwu

poki sounds like my cat jasper

how did he film such a lovely video by candlelight? i’m impressed! also it’s so restful, and he has beautiful hands, and the kitties are so cute. it made my morning. thank you for sharing.

Poki is actually in his newest video:

My terrible trash cat finally graduates to being in cooking videos ❤ Im so proud of him ❤

Aaaaand he’s banned again.
