I've actually had some pretty good vegan cake before. It's not quite the same, but definitely doable. The thing is, you can't just substitute all the offending ingredients out and expect the recipe to still work. You need to change the recipe quite a bit to work with vegan ingredients. I made one similar to this recipe for my sister's birthday a couple years ago because she's vegetarian and I didn't know if she ate eggs or not. It made a really moist, dense cake that was similar in texture to that of a Costco chocolate chip muffin. I actually kind of preferred it to normal chocolate cake and ended up making it a couple more times because I had to use all the goddamn cocoa powder I bought for it. But that isn't anti-food porn. This thing my friend posted on Facebook is.

teenytinymouse posted:You don't need a water level, you drain off the extra water anyway. You don't save time, you don't save dishes since a weird box thing is probably harder to wash than a pan, you need to figure out your exact microwave time and level so you're gonna gently caress it up 3-4 times probably and end up with a hard mass of gunky pasta block or a smushy pasta paste. Where is the benefit? I'm living in a studio apartment that doesn't have a stove, and have since learned the art of perfect microwave pasta out of sheer necessity. Mine takes 12-13 mins for angel hair or regular spaghetti, 14 for linguine. Basically, take the time on the box and add about 3 minutes to it, depending on how firm you like it.

Data Graham posted:My local McDs drivethru is manned by either an earnest Hispanic lady or this middle-late-aged guy with a mustache who frequently tells me to "have a beautiful night". When I was a teenager, the McDonald's we usually went to had someone working the drive-thru that would pretend to be a robot. Like you would pull up, something that sounded like an automated message would take your order, and when you got to the window there would be a guy with a headset on laughing his rear end off about the whole thing. It was actually pretty cool and made late-night trips through the drive-thru way more entertaining, which was a priceless commodity when we were old enough to stay out all night but too young to drink. Still not as funny as the time my friend ordered a salad there and got a container full of sliced lemons, though.

Read this thread before going to bed last night and had dreams about loving up someone's order at the restaurant I work at, and I don't even take orders there. One of my coworkers wanted tacos and they came with a giant side of green peas, which for some reason were served in the baskets we normally use for fries. Then one of our regulars was there and she was hysterical because she ordered her tacos with NO PICKLES and the cooks put pickles on there. I helpfully pointed out that the cooks were probably just really confused because she requested no pickles on an item that doesn't actually come with pickles. Then I woke up and realized we don't have pickles in the restaurant anyway so what the gently caress. The tacos kind of looked like this and were totally vile.

Maggie Fletcher posted:Same. It's probably pretty good. Out here once a year we have a garlic festival and they serve garlic ice cream, which is supposed to be pretty good. I haven't had a chance to try it, but if I ever do I would so hard. I've gone to the festival a few times, but still haven't tried the ice cream. My husband says it's alright, but he has questionable tastes (as evidenced by the fact that he married me). I think I might not be so hesitant to try it if they weren't always giving it away for free.

darthbob88 posted:Related to chain breakfast food- Sadly accurate. Ended up at Denny's a few weeks ago with some friends from work. We're all bartenders, so it was about 4am when we clocked out and left, and we were all kinda hungry. One of the guys was really insistent about going to a particular Denny's a few miles away, even though IHOP was way closer and way better. Turns out, pretty much the entire staff knew him there and the server was putting in his order before we even sat down. Pretty sure my friend even knew the cops on duty there, because of course there are cops on duty at Denny's at 4am.

It was about 4:30am here when I saw the news about Bourdain. Just clicked on Facebook, and there in the middle of my feed: BREAKING NEWS. I've never felt particularly strongly about celebrity deaths, but this one got an audible gasp and "oh no.." out of me. Made it a little bit harder to sleep last night too. On a lighter note, one of my husband's favorite dishes is his mother's chicken paprikash with homemade noodles. He talks about it quite fondly, and so do his sisters. He also mentions that it wasn't until he and his sisters were adults did they realize the recipe is supposed to have paprika in it.  Basically, it's one of those recipes that got altered to use cheaper/fewer ingredients during a time of financial hardship, and never changed back. Had a similar issue trying to make his favorite Christmas cookies, where I found out later that the recipe says cream cheese, but his mother uses sour cream. On the upside, it was a fun learning experience, I guess?

Also, pinching them shut and putting the seams on the bottoms is a great way to make pretty bao and hide your shame if you can't make nice pleats. Most of mine ended up looking like yours the first time I tried pleating them, but they taste great so who cares? Your basket looks way overcrowded, though. Maybe try putting half as many in there next time?

drat, now I want to make a chili-lime fruit salad. I have melons, apples, and nectarines in the fridge, but no limes. Maybe I'll just settle for regular fruit salad because my husband does not share my overenthusiastic love of putting lime on everything. The upside to this is that I get twice as many limes when we got pho, or tacos, or anything else that comes with limes.

bike tory posted:Are you talking about Calpis? I kinda like that~ Calpis/Calpico (and other Japanese yogurt drinks) are pretty good, but definitely sound like AFP when someone's trying to describe them. Hell, even the name sounds terrible, hence rebranding as Calpico in some regions. Like, "yeah, it's this watered-down liquidy yogurt drink.. no, not cow piss, Calpis.. nevermind.." It's also great when mixed with sake or soju. You can get pretty trashed on the stuff without even realizing you're drinking alcohol because the flavors are both so mellow. I'm drinking lychee Calpico with sake right now and I have to occasionally remind myself not to just chug it.

When I was a kid I decided to make a "fancy drink" out of whatever juice was in the fridge and garnished it with a whole banana that had a sprig of mint shoved into it. It did not look half as terrible as this thing, and as I recall, was actually drinkable too.

Not gonna lie, I actually kind of want to eat a bunch of lovely fried food out of a little ferris wheel now. I'll have to do a trip report if I ever end up on that side of town. I mean gently caress, just look at this stupid thing. bike tory posted:Ditch the apple and the pineapple and then we're talking maybe, but otherwise get the gently caress out. My mom's version had canned pineapple, mandarin orange segments, mini marshmallows, and shredded coconut in some sort of whipped cream/sour cream mixture, but as I recall she usually only made it for holidays. She also made some drat good jell-o cranberry sauce that had finely diced, fresh cranberries, apples, and walnuts in it. I kinda want both now but I know nobody else would eat it if I made it.  ..Maybe I'm just hungry and craving weird things.

Facebook Aunt posted:Just don't fill up on the three (3) onion rings. Piled high. Oh yeah, my limit is usually two. But in all seriousness, $12 seems about right for a gimmick like that. People on Yelp were complaining that everything is super expensive for a boba tea place, but honestly it's not that bad, considering where in the world we live. I would expect to pay at least twice as much for that if it was literally anywhere except a boba tea cafe.

A 1:1 sugar to water ratio is going to be some weakass poo poo. Try a 2:1 ratio instead. And yeah, I've bought simple syrup before because I wanted a cocktail sometime that evening. Do you have any idea how long it takes to cool down a pot of freshly boiled sugar syrup? The answer is loving forever. I mean, I wouldn't pay $5 for a tiny bottle like that, but yeah, there's a legit reason to buy sugar water if you're really into making cocktails. If you just want to get wasted, get some soda or the cheap margarita mix and go hog wild. Or do both, I ain't judging.

Ordered some Dominos pizza tonight because I'm a fat lazy goon, and for some reason both pizzas were square cut. I am so confused. This has never happened to me before. Help?

The Bloop posted:All the major chains have square cut as an option when you order online, so it's definitely something people do Oh sure, I'm aware that it's an option, I just don't know how I ended up with that option. So far my theory is that it's a curse levied upon me for reading this thread while deciding what to have for dinner. (Serious answer though, it turns out my husband ordered thin crust for both pizzas, and square cut seems to be the default option for that crust style, for some reason. Kind of wish they had made that a little more obvious, but oh well. )Wanna eat dat cheese

gleebster posted:My copy is more recent, but it does tell how to skin a squirrel. Apparently, you carefully cut the skin down the belly, then round the neck. Then, putting your foot on its head, you pull the skin down backwards towards the tail. I have never had a need for this information, so I pass it on to the thread. Never tried skinning a squirrel, but I did learn more than one way to skin a cat in college. Apparently the best method, if you want to avoid the possibility of cutting into the organs, is to make an incision down the spine, then slip your fingers under the skin and just kinda.. peel it off. Also, at one point I had a copy of Joy of Cooking that had recipes and preparation instructions for brains and sweetmeats, but I can't remember which edition it was.

The other day I got a notice in the mail that a business nearby is applying for a license to serve beer and wine, and we have 30 days to file a protest, if we so choose. This in itself isn't notable; I live in a busy downtown area and get things like that in the mail all the time. The part that made me pause was that the business name is "Taco Bell Cantina". I have no idea when they're going to open, but hot drat I am ready to write a trip report.

drat, I really feel like I lucked out with parents that can cook. My mom is originally from Ohio, so we had a couple weird midwestern dishes that made it to the table on occasion, but I don't recall any of them actually being bad, and she knew how to use the spice rack. I actually get a little nostalgic for her ambrosia sometimes, or that cranberry jello salad she'd make for Thanksgiving.. and for the longest time I couldn't understand kids that don't like fruit or vegetables because I'd never had a gross veggie in my life (okay except maybe brussels sprouts, but I like those now) until I went to someone else's house for dinner. Conversely, my husband hated pretty much every vegetable except broccoli when he was a kid, and just the other day realized it's probably because he's never had canned broccoli. He likes most vegetables now, but there are still a few he has hangups about. Meanwhile, most of my food hangups are from my dad straight up telling me not to eat something because I won't like it (usually spicy foods), then later trying to goad me into trying new things. Like, it wasn't malicious or anything, but drat there are a lot of things I thought I'd never like just because I'd never tried them before, and if I've never eaten it, it's because I don't like it.
