Oh, that's weird!

I got a little bottle of sesame seed oil, it's pretty good.

I've hear good things about sesame seed oil but never tried it. A little bottle probably wouldn't last me very long tho. 

It's good on rice. You can definitely tell it's from sesame seeds.

This concept of olive oil going bad is unknown to me. Which leads me to believe that my jug of olive oil has probably gone bad.

I only buy Australian and Californian olive oil.  The EU olive oil industry is controlled by the mafia, and they substitute lesser oils to thin it out. 

I've had a couple bottles spoil, but I usually buy a small bottle so it doesn't happen very often. It's too expensive!

It probably came from Greece. 

Oils all have a tendency to turn into a crisco-like consistency, it's just a matter of what temperature they do it at. I've never had Olive oil go bad, so I can't say I've been inclined to try refrigerating it, but I have seen booties of it left in someone else's basement where it got very cold in the winter. It looked like you could scoop it. Definitely a no-go on pouring it.

RIP Anthony Bourdain.

It's not controlled by any mafia. But there are plenty of shitlords trying to make an easy buck. You have to be careful who you buy from. Usually the major brands are fine, because they're more likely to be subjected to testing.

Olive oil doesn't go bad no matter how long you leave it, that's kind of impossible. Do not refrigerate it, not sure if something bad would happen, but it's pointless.

Uncle Google disagrees.

I definitely don't like old olive oil. It get's a flavor I don't like.

I think I know why that happens. Some people keep it for more than a year in clear bottles. We have often kept it for a couple of years or more in tin containers and fill up bottles using pumps on the containers. I've never seen olive oil go bad like that. Υοu are right though, it can go rancid. But you'd have to wait more than a year.

New olive oil is usually greener and has a nicer taste. But even older olive oil isn't bad to eat and often doesn't taste too bad either. But then again I don't really know because I've never tried olive oil that was improperly stored for too long. Well, maybe in certain restaurants, but you can't really know what kind of shit they use there.

Some people paint various seed oils yellow-green and sell them as olive oil. They don't even try to cut olive oil with cheap stuff.

The famous chef Anthony Bourdain took his own life. If any of the cooks in this thread are considering it I would suggest that it's a bad idea.

Ha I didn't see SCG's post.

I hope Chef John lives 4evar. His dad jokes sprinkled throughout his videos are almost as good as the food.

That whole chicken pie looks tasty.

Oh no.

Well, it's too late now; he already took his life. Of course it's a bad idea. How could I even begin to take it again?

Shortbread cookies. Surprising good fresh out of the oven. I regret that I didn't have any interesting cookie cutters like cats or penises or something.

I made some basic white bread today, which came out tasty and will make for some good sandwiches and garlic bread for sure. The cookies are chocolate chip and Butterfinger pieces. Ho. Lee. Fuck. They is good. The picture is from the first dozen. I got about 40 cookies total though.

Super Sunday here.....Just starting today's cooking and upload pictures very soon. I will cook today with my new Rachael Ray cookware https://healthyceramiccookware.com/rachael-ray-cookware-reviews/ and I am excited to check the taste.

some of my recent creations:
