hot cocoa on the couch posted:yeah fannie farmer revolutionized home cooking instruction but that was like 150 years ago, i wish we would move on to a purely weight based system of measurement to remove any remaining vestiges of ambiguity. measuring things that aren't liquid/powder by spoons and cups is a standout bad practice that comes to mind Lol imagine weighing every ingredient. Hard pass on that

The concept is you put the mixing bowl on the scale and weigh ingredients directly into it

Wait what place even puts condiments on your fries for you? Shouldn't that just be left up to you? Like it's just poured on top? How the gently caress do you eat that without looking like a sauce covered animal

BAGS FLY AT NOON posted:It appears Hunts uses citric acid instead of actual vinegar for tartness so that might be the difference. I compared sugar content and most brands are the same at around 4g per serving. Almost every other brand I looked at had vinegar except for Hunts. The best ketchup goes harder on the vinegar and way lighter on the suger. Much nicer that way, especially for cooking. It's not to hard to make a nice ketchup type sauce at home and it's definitely better that way if only because it doesn't have to be shelf stable.

Computer viking posted:It adds a clear taste to something otherwise intensely plain - it's not a very complex taste, but a bit of tomato and vinegar is more than nothing. Parsley butter would also be good, of course. Pesto, too - or just some black pepper. Keep in mind that this friend is white and from northwest Indiana and, at the time, probably considered flour a spice. Also, she was pretty desperately poor at the time. I haven't tasted her cooking lately but the pictures look much tastier these days.

Leftovers of the exact same poor quality beef chuck roast that I had had the previous time I was a guest at my mother's house. 7 days prior. When we refused to eat it (she had invited my siblings and I over for dinner and that is what she served) she put it back in the fridge. She later told us that she invited a friend over the next day to "help her eat it". Here you go friend, some 8 day old leftovers that have already been cooked, then sat at room temperature, then refrigerated for a week, then reheated, allowed to cool to room temperature again, then refrigerated again, then reheated again for you. Bon appetit! I literally wouldn't have given that food to my dog at that point.

My grandma had a habit for years of washing off deli meat if it was slimy and i'm pretty sure it's just from growing up on a farm where her parents raised her during the depression and I probably ate it tons of times as a kid without realizing it because I lived with my parents at their house until I was like 5

A friend's mom liked to make her "famous" pancakes if you slept over. They were burnt to a dark brown/black on the outside and completely raw on the inside. She got mad when another friend pointed this out, so I ended up just eating the outer edge as it was the only edible part. She made them again the next time and I faked illness and went home to get out of it. Did not stay there overnight again.

They take less than five minutes to make and you can just watch them and flip them once

pro starcraft loser posted:Is...is this not an option for some quick, cheap pasta? Yeah they're saying that it's easy to make an amazing cheap pasta dish like that without using ketchup as a sauce. When I was 13 or so, a neighbor invited me over for a "fancy dinner" days in advance, every time I saw her she kept talking it up, telling me to make sure not to eat lunch that day because it was gonna be a feast! She very ceremoniously served me: watery instant mashed potatoes, dry undercooked chicken, and raw broccoli on a paper plate. No butter, oil, salt, or seasoning of any kind. When she saw that I was having trouble forcing myself to finish it all, she got VERY upset and offended and threw everything in the trash, then ordered me to go home. She immediately called my mom to tell her how horribly rude I had been and demanded I be punished severely lol. But everyone knew she was crazy, so.

Aesop Poprock posted:Is it though? A can of crushed tomatoes can be as cheap as 50¢ and ketchup is generally like four times that price. Looking at the cheapest store brand of both, ketchup is about half the price per weight compared to canned diced tomatoes here. Switch to name brand ketchup vs store brand tomato, and they're roughly the same. But this is probably very dependent on where you live.

I wonder how these people feel about life - are they just permanently angry at all those nosy know-it-alls who try to correct them? Do they feel a smug superiority about looking through the lies about how DIY is easy and often better? Or on the contrary, are they self-assuredly happy, secure in the knowledge that they know how to do stuff?

One day, I was depressed. I wanted stupid cheap junk food. Taco Bell, ahoy. I order two Chulupa's and a soft taco. Plus a diet coke, becasue that will prevent me from being fat, right?! I get home and open my meal, excited. Those motherfuckers gave me some sort of loving vegetarian thing and a vegetarian taco no meat, not even any loving beans. I WAS sad. I threw it away, drank the diet coke and had some lunch meat. gently caress Taco Bell. Taco John's for the win.

I once stayed over at a friend's place on a school night, and for breakfast their dad left out a big platter with a whole rear end loaf of breads worth of toast, toasted to dark-brown-black. Each piece was cold and thickly smeared with either Marmite or Vegemite. No butter. With no way to tell which toast had which spread until you ate it. I never stayed over at theirs again.

When I was a kid, my family roadtripped to Florida along with my sister's boyfriend. We stopped at a Denny's somewhere between St. Louis and Orlando and he ordered a Moons Over My Hammy. I myself don't remember what it looked like exactly, but I know he didn't eat it and we've been making a green eggs and ham joke for 25 years.

It was in a tray and had lettuce, tomato, cheese and onion. Some sour cream. It was some sort of custom order. I mean, the workers obviously gave me the wrong order and it’s also on me for not checking but still, I just wanted lovely Taco Bell.
