actually you want to cook on a nontrivial iterated function system shape. that is, a fractal

most trivial fractal operator is lamination. just like laminated pastry dough

Before cooking, a raviolo's dough is raw. A grilled cheese sandwich is made with already-baked bread.

Who tf has time to make ravioli from scratch? I usually try to make the sauce from scratch but gently caress making the ravioli too. Store bought ones aren't raw, at least not any of the ones I've seen

I make it at home often, and yes, the store bought dough is raw. All pasta dough is raw until it is cooked.

A koala bear is most definitely not a tart. Not so sure about the other ones. Could a starfish be a pizza? Are there jellyfish rules? These are the questions that keep me up at night.

That depends, do you reserve the "lid" and put it back on the breadbowl? With the lid it's a sandwich, without it's a pizza. Although isn't that a trick question since pizza is itself a sandwich?

If you put the lid back on it's a bismark.

Depends on the ratio of chunkiness to outside temperature.

A spoon will not stand in Mom's meatloaf fluid. The torus will support most standard utensils, but she usually mushes it up a bit with ketchup sauce during and after cooking, compromising its structural integrity. So microwave meatloaf is a kind of soup.

People trusted a lot in the wonders of microwave ovens back when they were mysterious and new. There was an idea that you could cook pretty much anything in a microwave that you could in a regular oven. (Note cooking time suggestions for things like roasts, lasagna, casseroles, and meatloaf) Which...isn't technically wrong in some cases, but still produces stuff that's gross because of the differences in the cooking method.

It was an amazing time in culinary history. Your mom definitely knew how to cook from scratch, and your grandma could probably cook from scratch over a fire oven, but all that poo poo was boring and time consuming. And there was so much new poo poo nobody knew what to do with!
  • Suddenly practically everyone had reliable refrigeration and freezing at home, and it was cheap enough that supermarkets had huge sections of the store devoted to refrigerated and frozen food. While grandma had to make do with dried or canned things in the winter, now you could have vibrant frozen vegetables all year round. Now those bags of frozen diced vegetables look cheap and awful, but at the time they were nifty.

  • Microwaves burst onto the scene and change everything. Well, not really. Most folks who bought a microwave quickly realized that cooking a 5 pound roast in one was dumb as hell, waiting 1 hour instead of 5 for it to cook doesn't really cut down on the amount of work involved at all, never-mind the appearance and texture. Microwaves did make it much easier to heat up leftover though, eventually leading to the decline of family meal times.

  • Around the same time international shipping was getting dramatically cheaper, so working class people could afford exotic tropical fruits like bananas. What is a banana and what are yous supposed to do with it? I don't know, lets try cutting one in half and putting sardines on it.

It was weirdly exciting for housewives (and working housewives). You had all these options. No need to make a regular salad when you could have a jello salad. And there were terrible cookbooks to show you the way.











Perfect for any dinner party/key party.

Also in Ireland 'bold' is usually used to mean naughty or ill-mannered and I think that is a much better usage than the standard meaning when it comes to this book title.

I found this cursed image on my phone this morning. I don't remember this. An atrocity that I apparently ate on top of my laptop. Daintily with fork and knife.

I hope? it's nacho cheese over leftover pizza. I hope? it tasted like heaven because I had reached high and drunk nirvana. I hope? it was a flavor revolution.

I hope.

It's strange that koalas aren't considered bears, they're completely koalified.

Edit: whatever they're doing with those browned bananas in the pan looks good and would probably elicit a "would" from me.
