Ed Hocken: Culinary Coward

[Nathan]

I buy stuff on "manager's special" fairly often.

[Ed Hocken]

Hey, I'd like to keep my kidneys. Thank you very much.

Speaking of which, I heard a report on NPR this morning about people who go out of their way to drink raw milk and tout the "benefits" as it were.

Hey, Louie Pasteur didn't save millions of lives for nothing!

[V]

Well, if it doesn't make your crap the same consistency of what's flowing in the gulf right now. By all means!

Also, I picked up some Old Bay seasoning. Both Chris and Alton Brown were right.

But yet you still have not made "Secret Hobo Spices", have you? I shared that secret with you, Ed... and this is how you repay me.

You can make it up to me by buying some of this...

If not? I'll let you figure it out.

[Shit Dickface]

Is anyone else a cheap bastard like me, and actively looks for the meat that is yellow tagged? Stuff about to go past it's sell-by date?

I found a 5 pound chuck roast for $4.30 last week... threw it in the crock pot and had enough ropa for 2 days.

Go me!

I do this, but only because I plan on using it that day so it ain't no thang

[Shit Dickface]

guys what is the hobo spices

Plain old lemon salt mixed with 'spicy' Mrs. Dash...

[Ed Hocken]

Vin had posted it sometime ago. But I kept looking for lemonsalt and freaking Ikea will not let you buy it online except in individual packets. Nonsense!

Of course what I should do is just drive over to the Ikea in Burbank. But I don't feel like going 20 miles for salt.

Now if I happen to get a new job in the very near future. Then you bet your ass I will.

Ed...

ED...

ED!!!

Did you think to ask me for an alternative? Did you not think I'd look out for you?
You shame me...

Lemon Salt

1/2 cup kosher salt
3 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1: mix it all together...
2: spread on baking sheet to dry for 1 hour...
3: store in container with plastic or cork seal.

[Ed Hocken]

When you say dry, I assume you mean air dry?*


*Yes, I know it's an obvious question. But, I might as well get the bases covered.

[Nathan]

Why are you going to Ikea to buy seasoning????

[Martin]

You better believe it.

You'd BUTTER believe it, Ed. This is the food thread!

[Ed Hocken]

Why are you going to Ikea to buy seasoning????

That was the place where Vin got his lemonsalts.

Now, I just need to pick up a greater and I to can make some zest.

Yes, sir... plain old air dry.

Nathan, I found lemon salt in the grocery section of Ikea and bought a shitload of it... then those Swedish cocksuckers jacked the price up.

[Ed Hocken]

We should have dropped the bomb on them when we had the chance.
