I have no idea where to ask this, so I'll try asking here: I legitimately enjoy fortune cookies as a cookie. They're nice and light, and have just the right amount of crunch and sweetness. Does anyone know where to get bulk, unwrapped fortune cookies? I say unwrapped because I know you can get packs of them individually wrapped but that's kind of stupid/wasteful. Alternatively, is there an equivalent cookie/biscuit that is effectively the same recipe, minus the fortune cookie gimmick?

BrianBoitano posted:

I'd email/tweet at some manufacturers. Googling a bit shows nada to buy unwrapped. Seems easy enough to try baking yourself though!

This might scratch that itch, texture-wise if not flavor-wise. Bonus that sesame oil is in fortune cookies and these have sesame seeds.


So I bought those coconut rolls from Costco, and they're legitimately really good. Crispier than fortune cookies, which is not better or worse, just different. Did you ever find bulk fortune cookies or a similar-enough stand-in?

Curious if you guys have any good dishwasher stories. Not the machinery, the people. I have tons I'd share if there is any interest. A few teaser titles:

New employee introduction at the Friday staff meeting (featuring a rap of Russel Crowe)
Plants cast shadows, Paul (prop bets with the dumbest millennial in Seattle)
Bowls in different area codes (a story about ceramics and a tradition of truth or dare in an old fine dining restaurant)
JNCO, too big to fail (featuring a fight with the ASPCA on the streets of Seattle)

I want you all to know that forums moderator Grand Fromage just posted a meme in a more localized chat asking if people prefer ranch or ketchup on tamales. At the risk of a probe for mod sass I don't feel like this is ok. I love GF, but actions have consequences.

I made ranch the other night because I realized I hadn't had any in years and I had a bunch of roasted greenbeans in front of me, and you know what? It was amazing. If I had some ranch in front of me and some tamales in front of me I'd absolutely go hog wild.

Homemade ranch on an idiot salad (wedge) is a good thing. Shelf stable ranch on, for example, tamales, is not.

I’m responsible for making a meatless sauce for chicken parm tomorrow. It’s for a dinner with friends and we’re each cooking something. I’ve never made a meatless sauce before. Can I just follow my normal recipe without the meat? For reference:


1lb ground beef
6oz can tomato paste
6oz water
24 oz tomato purée
Head of garlic - minced
1 onion - diced
2 tsp honey
Penzey’s Italian herb seasoning
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Salt & pepper
Cayenne or gochujang
Fresh basil

Brown the beef. Yank it out. Sauté the onions for a few minutes. Throw the garlic in for a few minutes. Add the meat back. Salt and pepper. Add tomato paste, puree, water, honey, and spices. Simmer for 2 hours, more if you want a thicker sauce. Add the fresh basil at the end and mix it in there.

Sometimes I’ll do a 50/50 beef and chorizo mix which is really good and probably a sin against Italian cuisine.

If you want to keep a similar-ish texture you can mince up a bunch of mushrooms (I like doing this a lot) or grab a package of vegetarian beef crumbles which are really not that conspicuous in stuff like sauces. Otherwise looking at the recipe I think you'd be totally fine just leaving out the meat.

I’ve never done the mushroom thing. Does the type matter? It sounds interesting and I’m gonna give it a try. Maybe add them when I add the garlic?

Something basic and easy like cremini or plain old white mushrooms should be fine but I think shiitakes are nice for this. I probably wouldn't use anything fancier than that unless it's on hand just because it's going to be diced up and kind of overwhelmed with sauce, you just want something with a nice meaty bite and some earthy flavor. I usually add them a little bit after the garlic-- maybe a minute at most-- and then let them do their thing for about 10 minutes so they can release most of their liquid. After that I think you should be able to stick to the rest of your recipe as is. I like to dice them up pretty small but it can be great with larger chunks too-- I do this for like, vegan stroganoffs.

For chicken parm I'd just do a basic red sauce even if I wasn't going for a vegetarian sauce. Like I don't think I've ever had chicken parm with a meat sauce. Not that there's anything wrong with it or anything, just making the point that a meatless red sauce with chicken parm isn't some weird substitution or something, it's how I'd expect the dish to be made.

Like tomatoes, some olive oil/a hunk of butter, like half an onion, a handful of garlic cloves, simmer for 45 minutes or so. Adjust with salt (I'd use fish sauce if not going for vegetarian) and sugar if that's how you swing. Boom basic red sauce. Specifically the 45-minute-or-so basic red sauce. Versus, for example, the super à la minute red sauce where you just heat tomatoes in a fry pan with some garlic or w/e, just long enough so they get soft enough to smoosh with a wooden spoon, and finish with some basil chiffonade or whatever. Or an all-day Sunday gravy or whatever. None of which I'd exactly blush to serve with chicken parm.

Any recommendation for a table top 2-burner electrical stove for a kitchenette? I currently have this, and I have had to open it up multiple times to fix some of the dog-poo poo wiring. Things have now corroded to a point where I want to buy something new that will not have this issue. My only requirements are (1) electric, (2) two hot plates, (3) 900+ W per hot plate, (4) quality wiring that won't fall apart after only 2 years. I am flexible on the price.

What are your pots and pans made of?
An induction burner will be safe/more flexible than a hot plate but you need to have pots/pans made of ferrous metals (cast iron, steel, some stainless) not aluminum.

I have no idea if this one is any good or not but it's the cheapest "professional grade" 2 burner on that site. If you really wanna splurge they have some that are like 4 grand.

Some of them certainly look like aluminum, but I am not sure. Either way, they are due for an upgrade anyway.

I took a look at the site, and I should have added another criterion: It should not be significantly bigger than 20" x 13". I would be happy with buying two individual ones as I rarely use two burners at the same time.

Yip Yip, bitch.
Honestly, just get two separate Duxtop inductions. I’m usually not a fan of induction, but if you want that sort of power, along with the other features, a single burner induction is the way to go. Just get two, and put away the one not in use.
