TheFlyingGerbil Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 not this http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NFPYy0m-GJ8 On another note, I made toad in the hole for the first time this week. It turned out really well and since yorkshire puddings are my absolute favourite, it was a real treat. I made it with cream and bacon sprouts, roast potatoes, honey roast parsnips and onion gravy.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Safeway brand 15 bean soup. I kind of fucked it up with the simmering since my pot I was using doesn't have a lid and I had to improvise but it worked out in the end. I use veggie stock and my own spices instead of the flavor packet they include where the main ingredient is MSG. It's good poor eatin'. I also put way too much Dave's Insanity sauce in it. Which tastes like shit but does the spice thing very well. So two freak-outs later I have the world's clearest sinuses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Heat Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I made Cooking Comically's Trust Fall Chicken the other day and...unfortunately, I didn't care much for it (probably because soy sauce). Might try making Dem Wedges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Finally tried a Pacific rock crab. I gave it shot since they were $4.99/lbs, were moving like crazy (Fresh as hell) and the one I got came under one pound. Good enough reason to give it a shot. I won. I got a loaded female with tons of roe (They are in season after all). I don't recall ever getting a dungeness crab with roe. With that said, the rock crab was like a cross between a dungeness crab and a blue crab. More work than the dungeness but not as pain in the ass like the blue. Flavor-wise it is a cross. I also got to note that the shell was quite brittle which I think is more due to the crab carrying and producing the roe. It broke so easily. Will eat again but now I wondering how good the dungeness crabs were at $7.99/lbs. I tend to get them at $4.99-$5.99 per pound at an Asian market but I don't think I ever had one that moved as quickly as those ones that I saw. I'm intrigued. I tend to pick out some pretty decent dungeness since I pick the movers so I wonder how these movers will be like. As a side note... since this was eaten at my place. I'm going to play around with using the remains as fertilizer. It should be like egg shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Pancakes, of course. We had a bit of double cream that needed using so I whipped that up. I always forget I don't like whipped cream on hot food - when it melts it tastes too fatty and I feel gross now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I too had pancakes (in fact I didn't believe Delia Smith on quantity so I might have pancakes later too cos I have a fair bit of mix left). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRevanchist Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I've got a box of some Peanut Butter Sandwich Girl Scout Cookies lined up. I'm going to get a Coke to wash it down.

Mal Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Congratulations to me. I've made a bread that tastes and smells just like grain alcohol. This is going to be a long two weeks if this happens with the frozen portion. I either jumped the gun on the yeast amount (They're pretty old so I add extra all the time) and/or its the added sugar. One thing I was noticing was that my bread wasn't rising as much as I though it would so this time I added some sugar. The white flour recipe asks for it so I figured it would be fine for a whole wheat bread. I guess not? I'm going to try baking it just a bit longer to see if it helps... worst comes worst I get hard bread to go with my spreads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 bread making is a dark art - good luck. Tougher bread is good for dipping in soup and if it tastes like alcohol you could make a tomato one and call it a bloody mary soup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yeah archaeologists reckon we made beer before bread. It's much easier to make. And I guess also means bread is best made while drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I think I made them wrong but tender squash vines are absolutely disgusting, a rare phrase with me. I figured I might as well try it since I've heard of it being a thing and hell, I love fried or stirred fried squash flowers. I wonder how the people who make it make it and with what type. Next time I'll try blanching it then stir frying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I had bananas and shrimps today for the first time in ages and they were exactly how I remembered them. Such a weird texture and I still wonder how they decided these were two things that belong together. Everyone at work was pretty excited too as they're not the sort of thing you buy. They kept saying, "Oh no I don't like them", while stuffing them down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 They can get a bit sickly if you eat too many. I've a massive feeling there's a English versus English thing waiting to happen here though. But I guess they're sort of generic enough Americans might have them.

Mal Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Sounds like the fruit salad with shrimp and mayo. It's alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I found out the shrimp are raspberry flavour, which I never knew before. Mind you when I used to have them they were penny sweets not pre-pracked and I would never guess from the taste (or the shrimp shape!)

TheMightyEthan Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Never seen those before. What kind of texture do they have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) It's a dense foam that's half chewy and half dissolve-y. I really can't think of anything to compare it to, certainly nothing natural. Edited August 29, 2014 by TheFlyingGerbil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
