There is a thing that my mom makes that sounds dumb but is amazing called Jello Cake

Essentially, you bake a cake, then make jello mix to a slightly different recipe than if you were making regular jello and pour it INTO the cake (you first poke tons of holes in the cake with a toothpick)

The jello sets INSIDE the cake, and you can't really detect it at all, it's just the most moist cake I've ever had in a bright fruity flavor (I like lemon the best). Cool whip as the icing on top and it is a delightful cool treat on a hot summer day.

I should really get the recipe and probably post it for the thread to make and criticize my childhood nostalgia



edit: this looks like it here, basically: https://lilluna.com/jello-poke-cake/
Do the same thing, but use pudding mix while the cake is still warm and let it in pour through the holes.

This is also good but that's a much heavier dessert

When I was a kid, we only ever had Miracle Whip in the house, but we called it mayo so I thought it was the same thing and never understood why other families' potato salad at the potluck tasted so different. When I went off to college, I learned that you are supposed to refrigerate Miracle Whip after it's been opened, which in retrospect explains a lot.

See also: ketchup, jam/jelly, margarine, pickles - basically if it was a "condiment" it lived in the cupboard or on the kitchen table. I believed my parents that "refrigerate after opening" was just a suggestion.

Ughhhh. :barf:

5-ish years ago I used to have a housemate that would leave her juice unrefrigerated after opening it, like for days at a time. Unsurprisingly she got sick fairly often. She was actually just an all around awful cook and would just throw random poo poo together in a pot and heat it up.

At one point there was a garden and the landlady was growing okra. This chick literally just cooked a loving pot of okra and was super proud of it and offered it to everyone else. I suppose she ate it. I never asked. Once, she made a cake as well at some point, it came out dry as hell and sorta undercooked at the same time, and was overwhelmingly bland. I assume she didn't follow a recipe and just kinda guessed at how to make a cake.

It's me, I'm the guy who uses a salt grinder

I like small grains for some things, large grains for other things, and I don't like the texture of the kosher salt I've bought - the grains are concretions of tinier salt grains, rather than single crystals. So instead I grind as needed unless I'm baking

if you leave starchy stuff like rice or pasta sitting out long enough, it will straight up kill you if you eat it. there was this kid in Europe who ate some noodles that had been sitting out for like a week and he dropped dead of liver failure almost immediately.

I know jelly probably needs to be refrigerated, but ketchup and pickles probably are fine if you eat them fairly often. The whole purpose of vinegar is to preserve foods without refrigeration.

Butter people have weirder opinions about. It can last without refrigeration, but it spoils faster. A lot of fridges also have a box to keep the butter so it'll stay a slightly less cold temperature. I don't know the chemical properties of margarine though.

margarine is made out of vegetable oil and it'll turn back into oil if it gets warm. it can get rancid.

I'm gonna be honest, as appropriately :discourse:-y as 'better than the alternative' is, I would totally go for the Trump Burg over the Biden Burg. Though that being said, I'd choose an over hard egg instead of the over easy, and would probably scrape the peanut butter down.

Nothing in that biden burg looks salvageable to me though, imagining those horrible wet onions together with the cream cheese and chips and augh.

Yeah, Rachael Ray's premise when she first got on TV was 30 minute meals. Shortcuts like using canned or frozen veggies and picking up a rotisserie chicken from the market was a big part of it. And honestly from my perspective canned beans and tomatoes and frozen veggies have their place and should not be constantly maligned. What turned me off about the cans of veggies and little smokies in a crock pot was that she didn't drain the cans. Without draining, that thing will just end up as a bad soup with a layer of fat on top from the smokies.


edit: oh and this is recent Rachael Ray so she's kinda phoning it in until the end where she just keeps throwing stuff on top. And throwing stuff on top is totally in line with bad food fads and AFP.

That all looks good. Nothing wrong with canned beans and hominy. I've done fritos in my chilis and pozoles for years.

Just lol if youre not piling on veggies and other stuff oon your pozole. Especially cilantro, the best out of everything.
