World caves in

World caves in

i sit alone in painful times as I seem to in all times, I sit and look upon the world and wonder why..........why.........why is it the world is driven by narcacissm, hubris and the ever increasing need for instant self gratification, a world of beauty transformed into a gamorrean garden of visceral excess. All depth left for dead, love sits forgotten weeping tears of diamonds as the world is consumed by cheap lust, when did we stop caring when did people just become things to be used and thrown into the mud as they move to the next and the next and the next. Why is it so quiet now, why is it so empty, why is it so cold. When did it become stupid to have morality and standards and self control, when did love become a word to be thrown around as just some empty sentiment, when did sorry lose meaning, when did words become just words.

he sits upon the earth frozen to the touch but warm deep within, he looks upon the people and weeps that they shall never see or feel what real love is, he dreams of things that will never be because the world grows dark around him, his heart so big it was thought unbreakable people had cut it, times had aged it, people had crushed it beneath heavy boots, but he stood back up again and again denying the fall he could see, but then he saw what we had become, what everything was, is and shall be, and his mighty heart broke in two, now he sits invisible to all holding within his hands the pieces of a once great and beautiful heart.

Re: World caves in

Thanks for the cooking lesson @Redraw 😊

Quick and nutritious ..... I have wondered how best to use hoisin sauce ....

Re: World caves in

I gave up on most store bought well complete sauces and started making them from scratch that way I can make sure I get the taste and such right just like I I have to make lemon chicken myself cause i know how to make it right at Chinese resteraunts these days they don't make it right no breadcrumbs, the chicken is 50/50 and the sauce is generally a loss

Re: World caves in

Hoisin is mainly used to increase the sweetness which can help if you overdo the soy, also it's the main ingredient in char siu sauce, I worked in a Chinese resteraunt when I was a teenager and got annoyed places couldn't get stuff right so now I make my own, I am not bad at it

@Redraw

There's a thread here called "Munchies"
for sharing recipes - I posted one for Spanakopita (Spunach Pie) yesterday. Would you consider sharing your Lemon Chicken recipe ?

Re: World caves in

It's pretty basic, batter chicken breast, coat and press firmly in panko breadcrumbs to give it an edge, deep fry or shallow fry finish in oven, lemon sauce is lemon juice, water, sugar until you get your preferred taste the cornflour and water to thicken

I'll try that.

Re: World caves in

Char siu sauce can be used in a lot of things too, though best as a marinade it's a little more complex though.

1/4 tsp brown sugar, 1 1/2 tbsp + 2 tsp hoisin,1 1/2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp light soy, 1/2 tbsp normal soy, and depending on cut of meat 1 tbsp oil, and if you want it red, red food colour

Re: World caves in

It sounds interesting @Redraw. Do you want to explain it ?

In response to: Re: World caves in

Re: World caves in

Explain what? You mix it all together add pork I have a tenderloin in the freezer waiting, place in a bag coating with the marinade, marinate for 24 hours then place in oven cook for around 25 minutes at 180 degrees, about halfway start using rest of marinade to baste and continue take out when done rest for about 10 mins slice enjoy now times can vary but that's the basics

In response to: Re: World caves in

Re: World caves in

Or just use the sauce in a stir fry
