bringmyfishback posted:Got a boring old sweatshirt? turn it into a skirt that looks like you just got your period in math class and you're trying to hide it! The best part about this is that this isn't even just an easy thing where they tied a sweater around their waste; if it were a low-effort thing, it'd at least be forgivable. But this is a project that takes effort to actually cut up a sweater and sew its parts back into this... thing.

 Recently I acknowledged that I'm guilty of saving all of my delivery packets (ketchup, soy, etc) like my mom does. All of it was contained in a baggie in my fridge which I gifted to a friend (along with a check) when she got married. A good foundation is the success to any household.

Just imagine like a bride and a groom standing and shaking all the guests hands, being handed money envelopes when the goon guest walks up and smiles warmly and hands them a dripping bag of frozen Burger King ketchup. "Congrats you two, I....I wanted to give you this"

When my friends got married I gave them an amazing velvet portrait of Elvis crying as a joke. I had ordered them a different thing but it was back ordered on Amazon. Let's just say they use that 200 dollar mixer like once a year to make Christmas cookies and the loving Elvis is the first thing you see when you walk into their home, proudly displayed above a fireplace next to a collection of Pillsbury Doughboy memorabilia. People have weird friends is what I'm saying I guess.

Need to cut ingredients up really small for scrambled eggs? Try a knife! The sharp "blade" cleanly slices through most foods with ease, and it's much more convenient to wash than a pizza cutter.Squallege posted:I've only ever ate scrambled eggs with ground pepper.

I'm not gonna tease you because I'm too sad about this. Yes, you can add stuff to your scrambled eggs. It doesn't have to be an omelet to get special treatment, in case that's what was holding you back.

Squallege, in recompense for how sad you've made us, I humbly ask that you cook up some scrambled eggs with something other than ground pepper in them and post the results in this thread. Please don't make us keep living with the knowledge that you're eating sad, sad eggs

The_White_Crane posted:That actually looks kind of awesome. It's a type of pickled egg, the vinegar dissolves the calcium in the shell and then goes in and denatures the proteins, basically cooking the egg with acid. That's the theory anyway, I think most pickled egg recipes recommend heating as well either for consistency or health reasons.

It's basically just a neat thing that you can use to teach kids about some of the basics of chemistry, osmosis being the big one, as there's only the thin membrane protecting the unshelled egg, and how elements react. Just be careful and bounce them outside?

You could probably boil it afterwards, and not have to worry about peeling off the shell. Or soak it in vinegar after you've boiled it, so you don't risk it bursting in the water.

You're supposed to add a little vinegar to egg poaching water, right? I never knew that was why. Presumably it helps them to not break.

To be perfectly honest, were those cooked properly, that would be a great idea. You'd probably want to cook the bacon first so it was almost finished, then fill the cups with an egg mixture. Or maybe I just feel that way because I didn't have breakfast.

The presentation's cute, but its not like it does anything to improve the bacon and eggs as a whole. You just end up with bacon and eggs, neither of which was cooked in a optimal way. Just make a drat quiche.

I mean I guess I get the logic behind it. Instead of cooking bacon and then eggs separately, you put them together and make them at the same time. But if you had any prior knowledge on how to cook things at all then you would know that cooking things simultaneously is possible. Lifehackers do not know this.

I would guess its more a presentation thing. The little bacon-holders look neater than just bacon and eggs on a plate. Though that still moves it out of lifehack territory and into "Are you a professional cook" territory.
