They are a type of bracket, so he was technically correct, the best kind of correct.

A parenthesis (plural parentheses) is a type of bracket used for punctuation.

Also it's someone trying to use a standard ceramic stove top as a hibachi, for chicken.

The best part about this is that someone sent it to Gordon Ramsay :allears:

In food related news, my boss just brought in a Noah's Ark from the diner up the street, and is apparently enjoying it. I didn't even know they sold veggie/fish patties, and the smell is indescribable. It hurts my nostrils just sitting here. I'm gonna try to get a photo of this abomination.

I made a chicken chili yesterday and used a recipe that called for a can of diced jalapenos, a can of green chiles, and a teaspoon of cayenne along with three cans of white beans and two pounds of chicken among other things. It billed itself as "kinda spicy". It wasn't, even with fresh jalapenos including seeds, and turned out to be a little bland instead (ended up having to put in a bunch more spices and full tablespoon of cayenne in, next time I'm just swapping it out for habaneros instead).

But hey, one thing I like about online recipes is that people have their own tips and tricks on how to improve it, and with a chili that was kind of bland, there must be people putting solutions to it online.

quote:

I had to use many of the reviewers' suggestions to make this a recipe I would use. I decreased the spice considerably (by 3/4 for the hot spices), puréed a third of the whit beans to make it more like chili and less like soup, and add vegetables (I added corn, baby spinach and carrots). This was good, and I will continue fine tuning it, especially with the spice blend. Next time I will replace oregano with marjoram.

quote:

This recipe is HOT!!! I used the jalapenos only, thinking the chili's and cayenne would be too much. We like our food spicy, but I had to use potatoes to draw some of the spiciness out. Outside of the heat, the chili is on the bland side. We had rice on the side or chili over rice, and cornbread. Sour cream also helped cool down the peppers. Be very aware of the spice. Maybe use the green chili or cayenne and add jalapeno if necessary. I wont be making this again.

quote:

Even though I omitted the jalapeños, this was still way too spicy.

quote:

12 cups... I added a can of corn, added a can of cream of chicken, used all mild green chilies instead of jalapenos (it came out perfectly spiced), and threw everything into the crockpot on high for 4 hours. I hand-shredded the chicken at the end and put it back in. Delicious! Oh, and I also pureed one can of the white beans and that really helped to thicken things up.

quote:

I only used two cans of beans, no jalapeños, and taco seasoning mix because I was out of cumin.

I'm glad you wrote what this was because I had it at a Korean restaurant years ago and I've been trying to describe it as "that vaguely hot Alphaghetti stuff" much to the bemusement of my audience.

The very best part of online recipe reviews is all the people writing to say "This is terrible/fantastic! I didn't have baking soda so I used Sprite, and we were out of cocoa so I use shredded coconut instead, and I only had half the yogurt it called for so I made up the difference with tapioca pudding." After all their substitutions, it's not even the same recipe.

I'm pretty sure that's what happens when you use a non-oven safe bowl/tray whatever when trying to make dip or a casserole, it almost looks like plastic.
