Good job for a first time!

for frying the schnitzel you can pour more oil and let it get warm and then put your shnitzel and what I do is I try to move it around in a circular motion to form some ridges and check if it’s golden brown I’ll fry the other side and I try to do all of that in medium heat.

your fries can be cooked a bit more and I suggest after you take them out of the oil season them with anything that you like. (my favorite seasoning mixture is grounded black pepper+salt+garlic powder+parmigiano cheese)

nevertheless I am proud of your cooking too; keep it up 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The schnitzel is overcooked. Less temperature for your pan and turn it more often.

The fries are undercooked. Slightly more temperature for the oil. Try double frying.

Fries are raw

About $110 or so. The rib being the largest share of it.

You are getting downvoted but you put effort and thought into the meal, and that’s what matters. Can’t always judge a book by its cover. Keep it up!

If you know, you know! Man, rosemary salt is the BEST.

I'am almost certain you air fried those fries possibly the schnitzels too.

Gorgeous!

Grits are great! I recommend trying some alongside breakfast with eggs and bacon or whatever one day. Cheddar grits are my personal favorite.

How do you do the pork belly, i have char siu sauce ready to use, i always do the fried rice with chicken or shrimps

The different experience is in the quality of the ingredients and taste. If someone asked me if I wanted boxed or homemade to go with those tasty looking ribs I would choose homemade every time because together they make a tastier meal. If you’re not going to bake the mac and cheese then it’s maybe a few minutes more to grate the cheese. You have to boil pasta for both. But perhaps all that was available was the boxed version anyway.

Very nice

This looks great, but when did people start calling it blue box? It's Kraft Dinner, or KD!

In the literal sense, yes they are both mac'n'cheese. But they are very different dishes and it's a very different experience to eat one vs the other. I would be annoyed if I wanted the boxed version and someone gave me the homemade version, because they're not the same thing.

lol. no it's not.

They’re both mac and cheese. Not different types of food like the examples you gave. That’s like saying a rotisserie chicken you buy in a store and a chicken you roast at home are different kinds of meat.

Beautiful but here in Europe we are starting eating bugs

Simple and delicious. A bowl of comfort.

Use more oil, let them half drown in hot oil and turn them more often, slightly less heat.

Those fries are too undercoocked.

I'll say homemade mac'n'cheese is a completely different dish from box mac'n'cheese.

You don't make a sandwich if you want a burrito and you don't order a burger if you want a hot dog. You don't do homemade if you want boxed and vice versa. It hardly makes sense to compare them.

For a half second I thought that was just a pile of shredded cheese and was horrified but mildly impressed with the sheer dgaf going on.

For awhile, Kraft made buffalo macaroni and cheese. It was the best thing I may have ever eaten.

I stocked up the last time I saw those boxes, but still ran out about six years ago.

Sadness.

Those fries look raw

This is heavenly!! Thanks so much for sharing 👍🏽

ahhh....? how much?
