So there's a local crazy woman on facebook who decided to cook a steak dinner for her and her boyfriend's one-year anniversary


Before...


...and after.


With added peppercorn sauce

I like a bit of cheddar added for certain types of pizzas, but it would be weird as the main cheese.

Earlier this month my mom made enchiladas. Now, she has two enchilada recipes, one from each of my grandmothers, and the one from her mother is really good. Except she usually puts lettuce inside the enchiladas before baking them. Anyway, I convinced her to just have lettuce on the side and she brought me a pan of enchiladas and I had some, and I couldn't taste the chicken or Grandma's enchilada sauce. All I could taste was Swiss cheese.

I asked her, "Did you put Swiss cheese on these?"
She says "Yeah, I replace the cheese with Swiss all the time. Well, not all the time."
I asked her how she came to put Swiss cheese on the enchiladas. She said that originally she was going to use some queso fresco she had in the freezer, but changed her mind at the last minute. It turns out that the queso fresco was 11 years old. But that wasn't the reason she didn't use it. The reason was, she had never used queso fresco before and she wasn't sure if it was good on Mexican food.

I try to do all the cooking around here whenever she lets me.

Anyway, Swiss cheese enchiladas are good if you like the flavor of Swiss cheese and the texture of enchiladas.

That's a dry loving steak god drat. How do people gently caress it up? It's very easy too cook, make pan hot, put steak in until brown on the outside and whatever colour you like on the inside, take off, eat.

I used to get Little Caesar's occasionally for a decent cheap pizza fix, but I got one last year after a real long break and it tasted like the nastiest pile of industrial chemicals. I don't know if they had a big recipe change, my tastes moved on, or there actually was some weird poo poo that happened to that specific one, I haven't had the guts to order another one since.

It's not just your taste buds, the pizza is bad now. IMO

My mother when she does barbeque insists on buying giant inch thick steaks to put on it, and somehow always manages to cook them until they're dry and brown all the way through.

Criminal honestly, give me a steak half the size and a loving frying pan. And some vegetables to brown off in the leftover steak juice.

It looks like it was cut up, then pushed back together when they remembered that they hadn't taken a photo of the cooked steak yet.

The shad is on me today, nerds. Went to bake some cookies from scratch last night. Never done it before but the recipe seemed fairly simple. Everything going well till I put them in the oven and the batter just kinda melts. Next batch I tried adding some more flour to the mix to no avail. Cookies just spread across the baking sheet and had to be scraped off, not a single one survived intact and I was left with 2 plates full of cookie dust...

Cut to this morning when I realize the flour I had added from its unmarked container was not flour and was indeed powdered sugar. Actually kind of a relief in that I know what hosed up instead of trying to CSI Cookie my way to what went wrong.

I'm trying to imagine what the gently caress kind of dough you would get using icing sugar instead of flour.

Like it would have to be some sort of soggy paste surely?

I don't get how you'd mistake sugar for flour in the first place, they clump differently and feel differently in the hand.

Whenever I encounter an unlabeled powder in the kitchen I grab a pinch, most of the time you can figure out what it is by the texture.

There’s a Dave Arnold story where he had to move his test kitchen, and when his interns found a bunch of unlabeled deli containers filled with white powder and asked him what it was, he put some of it on his tongue and it immediately started burning his taste buds, which he lost for a month. it was lye.

Could be good; I'll try it later today. I still haven't found the Byte flavor anywhere. (Any ideas about the latest, blue WTFanta mystery flavor in the States?)

afaik Byte is not sold in stores, only online as part of an insanely overpriced collector set............................ but Dreamworld should be out soon, too :p

Well, poo poo on that!

The Marshmello stuff was fine; tasted like strawberry and watermelon, as advertised (and Coke). I probably wouldn't bother getting it again. I agree that the Coke flavor is front and center in these flavored novelties, whereas the flavor comes first in Pepsi versions. (Mango Pepsi is a favorite.)

Wow flashbacks to when I would be starving after school and we never had any food so it was mayonnaise and whatever pre-ground pepper we had on some semi-stale bread as a sandwich. Good times.

I ate a lot of mustard sandwiches growing up. Mustard was the one food item my dad wouldn't touch and we always had bread. Syrup sandwiches too, we didn't make pancakes often enough.
