Stuff you can make yourself.

It came to me... why do people buy stuff premade when it's cheaper and better to do it yourselves.

Hot oil:
Take a netural oil(veg/peanut/olive)
add dried chiles
Soak in a jar in a dark shelve.
Three days later
you have hot oil... Heat oil and chiles for a quick version.

Mayo:

Blender
Five yolks
blend or whisk
add olive oil
lemon juice
pepper
serve
Make bacon mayo
sub bacon grease for oil add bacon pieces.

teriyaki sauce:

Cup of soy sauce
squeeze of honey
some oil and orange juice.
Rice vinegar

Flavor vodka:
Bottle vodka
pour in jar
add your flavoring like peaches, vanilla bean or pepper
store in a dark cabinet
three or four days later
strain thru cheese cloth or fine strainer
serve.

add to it if you want.

Its the same reason why people buy premade burger patties, they are easier, even if it tastes better when you make it yourself, they just dont want to take the time to make it themselves. delicious ideas btw.

I forgot how to make the skittles Vodka.

Ah I remember that recipe, Ill be able to make it for myself in 6 months.

Here we go, here is one version at least

Oh... i get sooooooooooooooooo drunk now.

I will admit that I feel bad when buying stuff I can make myself. But sometimes you're just too lazy, or don't have the time, ingredients or tools to do so. Plus the store bought stuff will keep longer because of the preservatives, so if it's something you don't use all the time (like for me and mayo) it is more economical to buy it rather than make your own and then watch it spoil.

But anyway, some do-it yourself stuff that I actually use all the time:

Galbi/kalbi sauce:
1 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1-3 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp fresh garlic, minced
1-2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
2 tbsp mirin/sake/dry white wine
handful of green onions, finely chopped
1 crushed chili (optional)

Tonkatsu sauce:
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
2-4 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp apple sauce
2-4 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tbsp dijon mustard
pepper and/or other spices to taste

This is just me being a tad ignorant, but what do you use Galbi/kalbi and Tonkatsu sauce for? (I dont think Ive heard of them before...)

Galbi or Kalbi is a Korean beef dish. It's actually for a marinade, though I call it sauce because I use it for stir-frying as well. Tonkatsu sauce is for...well, tonkatsu. But you can also use it on other breaded and fried stuff with great results. I even use it as a salad dressing sometimes, if watered down with a bit of rice vinegar.
