Sjurygg posted:Only thing I don't understand is why people travel a quarter of the way across the globe to lie on a beach. On the 2 weeks of the year where it's 90 degrees on our beaches the water is still ice loving cold and there's rocks and seagull poo poo everywhere. The only bad part about going somewhere like southern Florida to go lay on the beach is getting sunburned in like the first 3 hours you are there.

Which infuriates you more, seeing people break spaghetti up as they put it in a pot of boiling water, or when they run a knife and fork through a whole plate of it as if they are serving it to a 2 year old child?

Drifter posted:Pasta's pasta if it's the same ingredients. I like rotelle because it's tiny little wheels but I wouldn't turn down pasta if it were spaghetti instead. It's all about the sauces and stuff, anyways. Make lasagna or stuffed shells with spaghetti or macaroni. I'll wait

They're self-serve, not free, and now I have to throw that muffin away along with the other ones you pawed with your gross hands or inexplicably ripped to pieces, you loving savages. Wait, are they biting the stump or the top?

esperantinc posted:Fried pickles are just great in general. I'm not a fan of the Hooters or BWW ones, they are soft pickles in onion ring batter. I like a Claussen-style crispy pickle in a tempura batter. And chunks, not slices. You want the pickle to stand out.

My dad used to work at a pickle factory for years. When I was a kid I used to roll down the hill in front out of house in a big cardboard barrel of salt or some other ingredient. He never makes pickles at home on his own, though

Uses for eggplant: Bread and fry. Top with mozzarella if you wish Cube and stirfry. Not bad really. Roast and blend into tahini to make bobaganoush. Tasty but you have to get acclimated to it's slightly bitter, smokey taste. Make into a big sloppy curry. I think you could do this with anything and it work, except dog poop. I've seen it in ratatouille and roasted with tomatoes but I haven't personally tried so I can't vouch for it.

Scientastic posted:Cleaning blenders is really, really easy. You put some washing up liquid in the blender with a little water, press blend. Tip it out, replace with water. Blend. Repeat until washed. You have to get in there with a sponge or rag and wipe it down. My ex refused to do that and just ran soap/water through it and it would get a nasty film inside. Blech.

I love Japanese culture and am very interested in the country but I don't think I could ever visit there for any serious length of time due to the fact that I've never seen "Japanese Cuisine" I've been brave enough to put in my mouth... That's pretty much the whole point of traveling for me.

Plus_Infinity posted:Yeah I saw some $20/meal/person numbers thrown out on some websites I found. Let's say you spend $30-something on food. You've got your time and expertise, etc. Even if they bought the food and you just cooked it up for $40, here's the next problem: They refer some friends to you, and they're expecting the same price.

CommonShore posted:Though I bought some organic hippie dippie popcorn from a hippie store a couple weeks ago and that poo poo has the highest pop %age of any popcorn I've ever purchased in my life. Our scorn can't explain that. I used to eat popcorn with my ex all the time. It started out as just buying a bag from the local theater, then we started buying bags of kettle corn and microwaving it, then as she got crazier she started air popping and doing garlic and nutritional yeast, and ended up doing coconut oil with brown rice syrup and cinnamon...

MohawkSatan posted:-any sort of red meat, aside from ham and bacon.  Pork isn't red meatWhat's with today's kids being picky eaters and gluten-intolerant? I was raised on PBJ sandwiches and bologna sandwiches. We ate slices of bread/butter with almost every dinner. Not like something? You sat there at the dinner table and you loving ate it, or fell asleep. I think the only thing my mom quit making was spinach (microwaved, canned, yuck) because I hated it. But now I eat loving entire cans of it because I know how to cook it.

Olive Garden is the one restaurant here that is packed 24/7. You will wait 45 minutes between 5pm and 8pm every day of the loving week. The fat slobs who march in there wearing sweatpants and pajamas do not want 'real italian food'. They want plates of fettucini alfredo and lasagna and those stupid lasagna fritta things which are just loving mozzarella sticks. They also don't drink wine. Would it be nice if they started serving 'real' italian food? Sure. But anyone who wants that or knows what it is, more than likely has a local place they like, and aren't going to dagobee's to eat.

The Midniter posted:My first ever serving job was at Olive Garden. I worked there on and off throughout college. For those who aren't aware, when a very obese person would come in, too fat to sit in a typical chair with arms, we'd have to get a "Larry chair" for them (one that doesn't have arms). Over the four years I worked there, we probably had to triple our allotment of Larry chairs due to increased demand. I work at a company that makes a product for Wal-Mart. 600lb capacity was not enough, we had to increase it by 25% 'due to demand'.
