[silver nova]

I went out for drinks with a friend and got the LOST WEEKEND:
Vodka, Crème De Cacao, Nutella, toasted marshmallow, graham cracker

[magic stone]

would you like some booze with your toppings?

[wooden pivot]

good idea :)

[wooden pivot]

that sure looks delicious already 😋

though i personally skip on the alcohol part :P

looking good 😋

[drowsy silo]

Thanks! The students loved it and it was delicious

[vivid wadi]

I saw those

[worn mica]

Huh

Also I had fun today making vietnamese rolls

The translucent sticky kind

Quite tasty

[silver nova]

I decided to have some fruit for breakfast. 😏

[wooden pivot]

hey

i have a question

i need recipes for freezer meals, and i like something to chew, like having a good old bite (lasagna or quiche are what comes to mind)

i already have 1 lasagna and quiche already (lasagna = with salmon &broccoli, quiche = leak & bacon)

and im craving something that isnt either of those two :P

[sinful moat]

piroshki/dumplings maybe?

[ashen cape]

...boba?

[magic stone]

mini pizzas? burritos? breakfast sandwiches?

[wooden pivot]

great ideas :D

[upbeat crystal]

pie?

[wooden pivot]

oeh im liking the sound of that too :D

[whole latch]

Unless it's like soup you chew most things so I'm trying to figure out what you mean. If you're in the US there's a good meal planning app called Mealime, has some good recipes and easily adjusts how many you want to make in a go

Highly rec it for folks w food sensitivity/allergies bc you can filter out a lot of things

[wooden pivot]

yea sorry, i dont really know how to put it in words >.<

in dutch we would say 'iets om je tanden in te zetten', which would translate to 'something to put your teeth in'. It excludes soups, cuz you dont need to chew soup. it excludes mashed potatoes, cuz you dont need to bite that kinda

'tanden in zetten' miiiight also be a saying for people who dont let something go, and are determent 😅

language is hard :c trying to express what you are looking for with words when you dont really know yourself.... hard 😅

[wooden pivot]

welp google disagrees with what i said here 😅 the only thing google says about this is being determent, and nothing about actually describing food :c

i'm gonna call it a night for now, maybe tomorrow i know what i was trying to put in words 😅

[magic stone]

mb it's like 'somthing you can you really sink your teeth into'

[whole latch]

Oh yeah that's a good equivalent

[worn mica]

Actually yes, that is the cleanest translation

[magic stone]

o good. gotta make use of my english degree somehow

[worn mica]

Literally it's saying "something to set your teeth in"

But that's the thing with proverbs and such, rarely translate well

My loempia adventure was quite tasty, the sticky translucent sheets were interesting to mess with

[magic stone]

depends on the flavors/textures

[winged pasture]

Left looks like a Napoleon Cheesecake, and the right looks like an Ube Red Velvet mini cake????

[silver nova]

Left is a Napoleon Cheesecake, and the right is an Ube Cheesecake.

But this more about which design is better?

[whole latch]

Right is by far cuter and stands out more imo but now I want to eat both

I tried making cheese sticks from scratch... Because I always had the impression that they should be delicious, but I was always disappointed by the ones you buy in stores (or the ones you order in bars, which taste exactly the same as the store-bought ones, except more expensive). Sooo they look good, but they taste meh. Any advice for improving them?

(I used a simple recipe: refrigerate or freeze cheese (I tried both); dip cheese in flour-egg-spiced crumbs-egg-spiced crumbs again; refrigerate/freeze again, then fry till brown).

(Ah, I also tried different cheeses: mozzarella (balls), cheddar (not very good quality, the store only had one kind), raclette cheese).

Does the taste come down to which cheese you use? Or is there a special seasoning that makes them better? Or maybe I just don't like cheese sticks and I just imagined I would ^^'

Would you all share your tips and tricks, to help a slightly lost cook? :D

Here goes the result of my attempts described above :p

[wooden pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/loki-loki-series-bit-of-both-loki-clip-tom-hiddleston-gif-21748514

[wooden pivot]

it looks delicious, but i am not used to eating cheese sticks, so i have no idea what to do to improve them, sorry

[ashen cape]

Maybe add herbs?

[wheat forge]

Paprika powder, onion powder and garlic powder might work wonders

[crimson fossil]

I had added garlic powder already, but maybe it just needs more. In the flour or the bread crumbs?

For all that?

[wheat forge]

I’d add it to the flour mixture! I forgot to mention that 😅

Maybe some dried herbs like oregano or parsley as well?

Chili powder, cayenne pepper?? 🤔

[crimson fossil]

Thanks for the suggestions ^^

[magic stone]

weird gremlin fruits ahoy

this is what the aliens will give us as a peace offering when they come off of their ufos

[silver nova]

As someone who has worked in a bar, they are the same ones from the store. When I make them, I sprinkle Chicken Salt on them while they are still hot.

Herbes de Provence works wonders when mixed in the batter.

[silver nova]

Those are good!

[magic stone]

they are indeed

they're drier than regular peaches, but that makes them easier to handle

[silver nova]

Breakfast

[winged pasture]

Oo looks yummy

Though I'm allergic to avocados so no ty on that, but everything else looks good! lol

[magic stone]

turkey spinach rice with super powered toppings

it doesn't look like much, but i can already say it's finger licking good

[wheat forge]

Wow that looks absolutely incredible!!! I can feel my mouth watering just looking at that photo omg 😍😍😍

[silver nova]

What's all that to the right? Is that sour cream? And what's below it?

[worn mica]

Advocado for breakfast, I suppose?

[worn mica]

Human I come bearing gifts from our planet "squish squish"

[magic stone]

hard to go wrong w fresh fruit tbh

[worn mica]

"I'm sorry my fabricator malfunctioned and only makes squished versions of human things"

Behold my squished banana

[silver nova]

That's called pudding.

[crimson fossil]

Hm, I had never heard about chicken salt! It's not a thing that seems to exist here in France. Does it really taste like chicken?

[crimson fossil]

It's greek yoghurt mixed with a bit of meat broth (it makes for a great super-easy sauce); and below, it's small pickled onions.

[silver nova]

No, it's a spice mix made for chicken. BTW, I have a friend in Bersaillin.

[ashen cape]

Ohh, I have that spice mix for chicken, another for fish / seafood, I always use it for my keto diet consisting of chicken breast and/or fish fillet.

[worn mica]

My grandma always makes her own herbes de provence mix

I'm so used to that flavour hahaha

[compact scaffold]

Saw these at a dollar store and bought a pack just because I’ve never seen them before. Tasted awful.

[median rose]

glad you like it

[worn mica]

Not enough beret on the croissant obviously

[stable kestrel]

Mushroom, ham, and goat cheese scrambled eggs.

[worn mica]

Nom, mixed mushrooms?

Just brown beech mushrooms since that’s what I had in the fridge.

[wooden pivot]

that looks good :)

Got a box of snack from Taiwan! I actually was surprised that I liked them all. Though the choco balls were my favorite!!

made a cheesecake with red berries gelatine 😋

made a cheesecake with red berries gelatine 😋

(just heads up, cheesecake is different in many countries)

(some countries they bake cheesecake, and this cheesecake is a fridge cheesecake without baking, which uses gelatin as ingredient to not be liquid)

[winged pasture]

How dare you say that

And not provide the yummy pics

[wooden pivot]

picture is uploading

[winged pasture]

Oh

LMFAOOO

[wooden pivot]

heh :P

[winged pasture]

I WAS TOO QUICK

XDDD

[wooden pivot]

yea moments too quick hihi :)

[winged pasture]

That looks yummy! How's the taste?

[wooden pivot]

well the red berry gelatin was very sour, so i added frigging much powdered sugar

then i had too little gelatin so i kept adding gelatin

the cheese cake tastes uhhh

[winged pasture]

[wooden pivot]

well it contains cream cheese, unsweetened cream that i had to whip, and the mixture of the box which contains gelatin and other things 🤔

[winged pasture]

Mmmhmmm so does it taste good? xD

[wooden pivot]

yissss 😋

everything was purrfect, made everything equal and flat, then came the pour of the berry gelatin (which is still liquid)

and i forgot impact of liquid 😭

which is why there is some floating white, which was not supposed to float

scooped out a few bigger chunks of the white cheese cake :P

now i gotta sleep a night to see the results tomorrow

and hope it doesnt leak out of the mall 😰

but yeah, me made things again >:D

my body: the only reason you made this, was cuz you had late evening hunger
me: stubborn look dont care, me made things

[winged pasture]

XDDD

Still, love me some good ole cheesecake ❤️

[brittle wasp]

I'm getting hungry at 5 AM seeing the pic 😭

[winged pasture]

Maya if you get cheesecake, leave me some pls ty

[wooden pivot]

come over in the morning, and we'll eat a slice :)

(its past midnight by now, i really gotta get my sleep 😅 )

[winged pasture]

Get some rest! It'll be amazing, I'm sure!!

[wooden pivot]

thanks :)

[magic stone]

have a particularly lovely marinade for my pork roast this time around

gonna be great once i cook it up after it marinates overnight

[naive trench]

Not a food but I started my morning by drinking "wedang uwuh" today, a traditional herbal drink with lots of spices

[brittle wasp]

ooo love to drink this on cold rainy days ☔

[flat vale]

I've never heard of this, is it similar to herbal teas or what is it like? Sweet drink or? 🤔

[brittle wasp]

Yupp it's a traditional herbal drink, made from ginger, sappanwood, cinnamons, etc~

For me, have to add sugar though, haha XD

[flat vale]

I likely would also. Sounds soooo yummy though

I have nothing recent to contribute but here's a steak meal I got at a restaurant awhile back. Yummy mashed tatoes and asparagus for my sides, always. I had sinigang tonight but didn't take a picture lol

[brittle wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-hungry-cute-gif-15224193

[deft jetty]

This looks really good! It reminds me of the traditional Caribbean Sorrel Drink. There is ginger, cinnamon, orange peel, cloves and bay leaves in it! I've only ever drank it once during a international cuisine day at school. It was so sweet and tasty, I can imagine wedang uwuh tastes just as good! 🤩 🍹

[wooden pivot]

morning :P

[wooden pivot]

my in the morning head is a bit confused by meat (guess my stomach cant handle as much as it could 5 years ago)
anyways it looks lovely :P

[wooden pivot]

so, i took it out of the mall, and it is a SUCCESS :D

the white in the picture looks like reflecting light, but it is actually the cheesecake that went floating cuz of the impact of the liquid gelly topping

me: goes to family chat to show off cake
me: reads sister in law announcing she is pregnant
me: i dont think anyone will care about my cake much 😅
(i'm very happy to get a new aunty sayer, and hope she'll have an easy pregnancy, it's simply not what i expected to run into when on my way to show off cake)

[wooden pivot]

the impact when i poured the liquid jelly is visible haha xD

[upbeat crystal]

it looks satisfying to poke

[wooden pivot]

probably is >v<

tastes great >v<

i took a bite of only the jelly, and it tastes both sour and sweet >v<

poking satisfaction confirmed :P

[worn mica]

Mal is Dutch hahaha, its a mold in English. But yes bouncy cake top

[wooden pivot]

oops xD

and yeah the top is bouncy >v<

i LOVING it >v<

[worn mica]

It's like the jelly we make at home

We sometimes have quince snack cubes

(Kweepeer)

[wooden pivot]

hm i like the sound of that

[worn mica]

It's super sweet too, because it's basically jellified with sugar hahaha

[wooden pivot]

thats exactly what i did with the currentberry gelly :P

[worn mica]

Could you cut it in pieces and have it stay solid like a gummy bear?

Because that's kinda the texture we get

[wooden pivot]

the jelly from the currentberry, yea :P

i did a bit more gelatin than the gelatin said i needed to do, juuust to be sure :P

[worn mica]

Enough jelly? No. More jelly

[wooden pivot]

exactly

i kinda hoped on a thicker layer of berry gelly :P

'so here is the bottom, then 50% of the mass is the cheesecake, and the other 50% is jelly'
me: 🤩 did it aaaaaaall by myself

but ehh probably not the best flavor combination, cuz the berry gelly has strooong flavor >v<

[worn mica]

Ah it overpowers the cheesecake

That's why it's usually a little more runny I guess

[wooden pivot]

right now the flavors are in great balance :)

[winged pasture]

OMG COMIC IT LOOKS SO GOOD

I told you it'd turn out okay xD

[worn mica]

You were hiding in the fridge, observing the process

[wooden pivot]

thaaanks >v<

heh

you can also be on the sofa, a lot more comfy and less cold :P

[wooden pivot]

just realized that i ate 4 slices of the cake today

happy smirk worth it

[worn mica]

After which you do this satisfied belly patting

[wooden pivot]

soooo satisfied

[stable kestrel]

Light dinner - sautéed mushrooms, leeks, spinach, and arugula with some lemon flavored sour cream and a fried egg.

[worn mica]

I believe I can spot an egg underneath all the pepper

That's a good amount of pepper uwu

all hail the great pumpkin

can you believe that discord doesn't have a pumpkin emoji?

[warm kelp]

I made these tonight.

[wooden pivot]

[wooden pivot]

now i imagine someone eating the dancing one, and looking like 'wait i wasnt supposed to eat this? O.o'

[twin herald]

Some of this delious lobster mac and cheese I had at a beachside restaurant the other day!

[worn mica]

In the old harry potter games, you had the chocolate frogs running around, though I'm not sure how sentient chocolate works

[wooden pivot]

errrrr O.o

[worn mica]

Part of the lore, you had chocolate frogs as a candy in the series

[wooden pivot]

heh :P

[wooden pivot]

so yesterday my boyfriend wanted KFC food, so we got it :P

that bucket with chicken

:P

and some other food, cuz we got a meal deal thingie

soooo the last few boneless chicken from the bucket was breakfast :P

we both love chocolate milk lately (apparently, dutch chocolatemilk is a typical dutch thing, the ones you buy in the grocery store)

and i keep forgetting to take photos of food >.<

[worn mica]

The chocomel stuff?

Or the canned nesquick

If chocomel, that stuff is insanely expensive for a luxury drink

[wooden pivot]

the cheap brand version of it, yea :P

99 cents for a liter full chocolatemilk

random googled example, ignore the 'best getest' text :P

my boyfriend likes it better than the Chocomel brand :P

we also have the powdered nesquick, and i figured out that if you add cream to it, and then milk, it gets extra tasty and creamy 😋

[worn mica]

I've never seen nonbrand chocomel huh

I always had nesquick residue left after using it, probably put too much in the bowl

[wooden pivot]

the chocomel is always more in sight, but there should always be 'chocolade melk vol' and 'chocolade melk halfvol' ergens in dezelfde schappen

[worn mica]

Also the cans aren't that big

It's a conspiracy dun dun duun

[wooden pivot]

also, i have made a list of prices per product in grocery stores at least twice now :P

that really helps spotting the cheap delicious foodies 😋

and its side-effect is that i know that butter ('roomboter') went from 1 euro to close to 2 euro in the last few years >:c

[worn mica]

Well if you start doing the shopping planning, then suddenly price fluctuations become visible

I've always found cheese to seem expensive, but per kilo meat is far more expensive

[wooden pivot]

yea, i cut down on most meat cuz freezing meat makes the taste go meh (i prepare in bulk, then freeze it in portions that only need to be reheated)

massive money saver

on the other hand, the tasty breads from lidl and aldi easily eat away that money i saved with those mostly vegetarian meals

[worn mica]

Reheated meat is hmm, mostly only interesting in a stew I'd think.

Ah I tend to avoid too much spoiling myself hahaha, because tasty food disappears so rapidly otherwise

[whole latch]

Put meat in marinade, freeze, then dethaw when needed helps w that

[worn mica]

I've had some lovely marinated breasts

Not sure what my dad added

But I think he may have used our herbes de provence supply

An older image

[wooden pivot]

saaaaame >.<

[wooden pivot]

that looks really tasty 😋

[worn mica]

It was, but it was also pre corona food

[wooden pivot]

i really regret not taking pictures of the homemade (mix package based) tompouche i made yesterday :P

i spiced it up with rocky road whipped cream :P improviced the cookie part of rocky road with schuddebuikjes :P

[worn mica]

Schuddebuikjes are basically year long mini speculaas

Also tompouce is pretty, but impossible to eat

[weak flax]

I like to drown my noodles with chili powder 😅
Any thais in chat?

[worn mica]

I remember visiting thailand

1 is not spicy, 2 little spicy, 3 very spicy, 5 to 8... thai

I really enjoyed that cooking class there hahaha

[weak flax]

Ohhhh really??? What did you make there?

Sounds really awesome tho!!

[worn mica]

We made pad thai, miso soup and crispy spring rolls

I still got the skinny recipe book

As it also has a recipe for green, yellow and red spice paste

And I learnt the interesting supposed concept that as you shouldn't have to "work" to eat your food

Everything is cut to pieces during cooking

I still haven't found any pad thai rivalling what I got there

[weak flax]

Ohhhh interesting!

Hehe

It's nice that you know how to cook em tho

Expectation

Reality

Still slaps tho

Sad about the shape has been lost when I tried to put them in the place

Plate

[flint oak]

What is that? Meat?

[weak flax]

Sticky rice !

With banana

[flint oak]

Oooooh so like a dessert?

[weak flax]

Yeah!

I had like 2 of them hahaha

[flint oak]

Do you eat them like that or do you add another thing to it? Like condensed milk or whataver

reminds me of tape ketan

[weak flax]

It's called Khao Lam, you usually wrap them in a bamboo, but being here in the UK - we use tin foil 😅
You can add stuff in, condensed milk is fine !

[flint oak]

Oooo

We have a thing like that too, but itps wrapped in banana leaf

Is it fermented?

[weak flax]

OOOOO we do em too! In thai we call em Khao Tom Mat, my favourite desert 😭

This is exactly the same but bamboo style

[flint oak]

OH KHAO LAM IS ROASTED?

[weak flax]

Yeah hahah

[flint oak]

I just googled it

Aaaaah

[flint oak]

Oo i eat that from time to time, they're delicious

[weak flax]

Banana leaf is steamed
Khao lam is roasted 🥰

YAAAS

[flint oak]

Ya i suspect we have the exact same food but with different name and slightly different way of cooking lol

[weak flax]

Everytime I wrap them in banana leaf, I didnt wrap them tight enough so it just unravels itself 😭

[flint oak]

And what are the black things in it that looks like watermelon seeds?

[weak flax]

Beans !

[flint oak]

Ooooo

Any particular beans?

Black beans?

[weak flax]

Black beans ya

[flint oak]

Ooooo

I don't think i've ever had black beans before xD

Usually mung beans or kidney beans

Mung beans are for dessert, kidney beans in soup

Oml i missed my mom's kidney beans soup

[worn mica]

I was kind of puzzled when I first saw a bean dessert

Yes this blackish bean goo is dessert yes

I quite enjoyed my overseas travels

[weak flax]

I used to have kidney beans all the time cus I'm iron deficient haha

[worn mica]

Have you considered working in the steel industry

We often have chickpeas here, they got a nice taste

[flint oak]

I've never even SEEN chickpeas before lol

[weak flax]

Hahaha

I like chickpeas!

I need suggestions of what can you make with pumpkin?

[flint oak]

i once have roasted pumpkin

they taste quite good

[weak flax]

What do you season them with?

[worn mica]

We often got pumpkin soup

Add some cooking cream, potato if desired

Blend to smooth whole

[flint oak]

autumn

OH

OH

notpe

idk, maybe some sugar? salt?

pretty simple tasting

i just eat, i didn't cook it XD

[weak flax]

Oooooo thank you, that's no bother at all! I'm a lazy cook

[flint oak]

pumpkin is already sweet to begin with so i guess you can get by just using some oil

[flint oak]

gurl same.

[worn mica]

Boiling water

Well that's enough cooking for today!

[wooden pivot]

today is Canadian Thanksgiving, so my boyfriend wanted Chicken & other stuff

the chicken & veggies are in the oven right now, hope i dont forget to take a photo this time

also, i burned my hand at the oven.... wear oven mitts people 😅

[worn mica]

You're not supposed to cook your hand

[wooden pivot]

yea yea..... xD

took a painkiller for the burn :P

my body goes like 'did you just put a painkiller in your body? flips the offswitch for pain' or something :P

the 3 photos of the meal :P

okay maybe gravy isnt that interesting xD

oh and we put 2 (fresh out of the oven) buns on each plate (cuz we couldnt make the bread stuffing, i lacked a few ingredients) no picture of that

and them buns: our stores have bake off buns :P

[worn mica]

That's kinda what it does, it blocks pain receptors, increasing pain threshold

[worn mica]

Also is that actual potato or the mash from a packet?

[marsh delta]

That looks like a delicious meal

[wooden pivot]

yiss :P my boyfriend asked for that, instead of a complicated recipe i found online :P

[wooden pivot]

my siblings need stronger painkillers, usually

[worn mica]

Is it A or B? Yes! Hahaha I assume you made it from a packet, as it looks like packet mash

Interesting, I know that people who are natural redheads are a population group which have a significantly higher tolerance to painkillers

[wooden pivot]

oh it is the package, add water and milk :P

[wooden pivot]

wait, you mean that people with natural red hair, if they take a painkiller, it is not as effective?

[whole latch]

That doesn't sound right, but also this isn't the channel for med discussions lol

[wooden pivot]

fair, lets take it to DM :P

on the other hand, 3 lines of text about painkillers isnt something i'd call 'discussion' yet :P

[wooden pivot]

it was absolutely delicious :)

[whole latch]

Usually questions lead to more discussing as it's a conversation 🙂

[wooden pivot]

Dont ask questions and eat xD

(feel free to ask questions xD)

[worn mica]

90% sugar 0% guilt

[compact scaffold]

What about the other 10%?

[wooden pivot]

chocolate?

(it is vanilla yoghurt, sweet whipped cream with pink color, m&m's, and a chocolate muffin)

[worn mica]

Sugary sugarness

I tend to notice on ingredient labels it never adds up

But I believe water isn't listed

[compact scaffold]

Never read ingredients labels 😂.
Top percentage ingredient: sugar

[wooden pivot]

they arent recipes, that is the reason it doesnt add up :)

for example, the cola recipe is unknown, only 2 people on earth know it, they say

[worn mica]

True, but in some cases they will show percentages because they have to abide to a minimum for example

Chocolate in europe needs a minimum of... 21% chocolate base ingredients?

Look at a package of sprinkles

It's basically sugar pellets, but the weight of sugar per 100 grams isn't 100, its like 98g

[wooden pivot]

oh yeah, otherwise they arent allowed to use the name 'chocolate' for their product, indeed

and chocolate is a combination of cocoa butter and cocoa powder kinda, companies that get easier things than cocoa butter can get below the required cocoa % they need, and get a similar name to chocolate (cocoa butter is expensive, last time i checked)

however the process of turning cocoa butter and cocoa powder and other ingredients into a chocolatebar needs a lot of heating and cooling, to get it at the right melting point (try eating some chocolate when your mouth is very cold after a walk, it will have no flavor at all and feels like plastic, i've had that once, but once my mouth was warm enough to melt the chocolate again, it tasted deliciously like chocolate again)

[wooden pivot]

thats why i like making things from scratch :P

[worn mica]

Most foods have little flavour when too cold

It's quite interesting

[wooden pivot]

yea not all things taste good at all when cold

flavor is decided by flavor, structure, and temperature :P

[winged pasture]

Attempted Vegetarian Adobo~
Instead of chicken, I got potatoes, carrots, extra firm tofu, and lotus root. Gotta say, pretty delicious

I'm not vegetarian, but my S/O is

[wooden pivot]

looks really tasty :)

[flint oak]

ooooo delicious

[wet citrus]

I'm so ready for the holidays

Peppermint hot chocolate btw

[winged pasture]

Oooou that looks so soothing

[worn mica]

We have no confirmation that it's not 90% cream

[upbeat crystal]

gotta poke your finger in until we know

[winged pasture]

inb4 it's the upside down mug prank

[worn mica]

The mug is literally solid chocolate

[wooden pivot]

peppermint and chocolate are a combination i can not enjoy, but my boyfriend loves it :)

and it looks delicious :)

[worn mica]

Oh dear those after eights

Its... unique as a flavour

[stable kestrel]

Definitely a lot heavier than my usual breakfast of scrambled eggs with veggies and/or whole grain pancakes or porridge, but I was craving bacon for some reason so I bought pork belly and made some uncured maple bacon. Latte was a custom half-caff blend too, lots of cocoa, melon, and apricot notes, and it only took one grinder adjustment to pull a good shot!

[drowsy silo]

Looks very pleasant

[worthy adder]

Wish me luck that my batch goes well!

Here they are!

[worn mica]

Literally hot pockets, right after baking

[dapper grail]

this looks good, how did they taste?

[worthy adder]

Light and crispy, I put marshmallows for a few of them so they were nice and gooey

[wicked drum]

Awwww you tug them to bed

[wooden pivot]

i am very confused as to what it is, it looks cute and tasty, what are the ingredients? :) you mentioned marshmallows, i think i recognize puff pastry, and what else? :)

it looks tasty, its simply that my brain can not place what it is :P

[worthy adder]

These are sleeping bear pain au chocolat. For the recipe I used puff pastry roll, milk and dark chocolate bars, teddy graham bears, some cut up marshmallows, and a beaten egg mixture. First I cut up the pastry roll place the bar and bear then fold over the dough. Then with a fork pressed on both its side and with the egg mixture brush over it all around. Then I threw it in the oven at 375 degrees for about 10 min. You want them to be puffed up and a bit of a golden look. Afterwards get some powdered sugar and enjoy!

[wooden pivot]

the 375 is fahrenheit, not celcius, right? 😅

but it sounds lovely :)

[worthy adder]

yes, fahrenheit.

[wooden pivot]

alright :)

thanks for sharing it :D

[flint oak]

oh you meant, chocolatine?

Either chocolat or chocolatine, I saw a video on tumblr someone making these, so I had to sleuth on the internet to find them, and the creator called them sleeping bear pain au chocolat.

I'm happy to share goodies and recipes, I just hope you can bear with me

For my birthday my best friend prepared ... Something special for me 👀 even though it's just sugar it tasted amazing. Probably because it is only sugar

The circle was surprisingly easy but the triangle cracked at the last section ☠️

[fathom hinge]

Also dropping in to tell you they look absolutely adorable omg :D

[worthy adder]

Thank you Marie, it was my first time making them so I feel lucky they came out great! Also did your friend make or buy the honeycomb candy?

[winged pasture]

Omgg lmaooo please tell me there was an umbrella shape

[fathom hinge]

He actually made the honeycombs themselves and needed quite a few attempts, apparently 😶 I heard it's quite hard to actually get them to have that right consistency so they stay in that shape

[fathom hinge]

Sadly there wasn't 🤧 My friend had to make the shapes for himself out of wire and tried a few times, but the umbrella just didn't come out right

To compensate it he used a christmas cookie cutter in form of a sheep that was equally hard.
sadly we really butchered the sheep shape ☠️

"sheep"

[winged pasture]

Poor sheep lol at least it was delicious XD

[fathom hinge]

Definitely that 😄 If we manage to get a proper umbrella shape I'll update y'all again on how that went 👀

[crimson fossil]

A bit too early in the year for Christmas cookies, sure, but... Vanilla Kipferl! :D With part of the flour replaced by almond powder to make them extra delicious :D

i thought for a while that they were croissants, but this sounds delicious 😋

[flint oak]

ooo looks like snow white cookies we have here.

tbh any cookie dusted with powdered sugar tends to look like that

[winged pasture]

It's never too early for Christmas cookies

[sinful moat]

I mean, it's less than 70 days to christmas and the supermarkets are already stocking on christmassy stuffs, soo

[fathom hinge]

To be fair they remind me of those as well but the texture is a little different tho

Omg Vanille Kipferl 🥺 Haven't made them myself yet tho but dm really sells nice ones. My Oma always made them herself.

Damn now I really crave some

[crimson fossil]

My boyfriend is German, and misses his country a bit sometimes (he lives in France with me) so I make cookies from over there to cheer him up ^^

They're super easy to make, give it a go :D

[fathom hinge]

Aww that's really sweet 🥺 Alrighty, I guess since it's Christmas time soon enough I guess I should actually give it a try. Do you have a special recipe suggestion or some tricks I should know? 👀

[crimson fossil]

I can give you the recipe I use if you want. When I get home, after work! I'll post it here. The trick is to not melt the butter, it really has to be room-temperature when you mingle it with the sugar! It really improves the texture of the cookie, and makes it way easier to handle ^^

By the way - my real name is Marie 😄

[crimson fossil]

Sooo here it is!

INGREDIENTS

• 35g white sugar
• 2 or 3 teaspoon vanilla extract, or seeds from one vanilla pod
• 120g butter
• 140g flour
• 60g almond powder
• icing sugar for sprinkling

PREPARATION

• With a fork (don't use a whip, it doesn't work with that small amount), mix together the butter and the sugar. As I told you above: butter has to be room-temperature / soft but not melted (if it's too cold, I put it in the sun, or on a heater, for 10mn). The trick is to cut the butter in pieces, and then, sort of crush it with the fork until the sugar blends in and you end up with a cream-like texture.
• Add vanilla, then flour and almond powder. Mix by hand.
• Make little balls of dough, and roll them in your hands to shape them. The ends of the moons can be very thin, they won't break during cooking. I make them rather small (you saw how many on the picture - considering the amount of dough - but that's up to you).
• Cook 13-15mn (depending on the size of your cookies) at 170°C, in the preheated oven.
• Let cool down completely before sprinkling with icing sugar.
• Bon appétit! :-)

[fathom hinge]

Merci beaucoup! I'll definitely let you know when I baked them as well!

[crimson fossil]

De rien :p Yeah, tell me if you like them :D

@compact scaffold think pho is a noodle soup

[regal osprey]

So I've got a potluck on Thursday, whatever I bring has to be gluten, dairy and peanut free

and preferably meat free as well, because then I don't have to make extras

I was gonna make springrolls, but fried springrolls use gluten wrappers, and apparently vegetarian fried rice paper wrappers don't hold up well

so any advice would be appreciated

[regal osprey]

also, hello, resident half vietnamese here

pho is literally in my veins

https://youtu.be/C92m3c7BczM

it noodle soup

delicious delicious rice noodle soup

[flat vale]

pho is one of my favorites to get whenever I go out to eat, so yummy. I get mine a bit spicy, but the cilantro, onions, and lime are such a good combination of flavors

[fathom hinge]

Are there also special types of vegan or vegetarian pho? 👉 👈 Bc that looks really delicious

[flat vale]

most likely, I think like all of the ingredients aside from the meat are just rice noodles and veggies. I can imagine there are lots of places that make veggie pho. Not sure about vegan though 🤔

The new season of critical role just came out so I've got my food and drink and I'm ready to veg out and watch it 😁

[livid loom]

I caught the first 1.5 to 2 hours live even though the time is ungodly for my area. I was just too curious about the new characters. I think its gonna be good

[wooden pivot]

i just discovered something in hindsight

we have this fridge cake, which is called 'arretjescake'

and because the recipe is killing my energy, i triple the recipe, cuz then at least it is worth it being killed over

however this time, the butter simply drips out of it, which i cant recall it doing in the previous times

so i looked at the recipe, and my conclusion is that all previous times, i did the recipe x3, but the butter x1

and man, turns out i like it better with little butter xD

should have stopped melting butter one package ago :c

or 2 packages ago....

(arretjescake = cocoa, sugar, egg, butter, mary biscuits, the first 2 ingredients are put together gently, then the egg thoroughly, and then with pure violence the rest is added)

[worn mica]

Oh hang on

We had that a week ago, someone at work made it

It's basically a heart attack in cake form

He also put molten chocolate over it

[wooden pivot]

hmmmm arretjescake 2.0

im starting to think people were right when they said im bad for their health, cuz my food is too sugary xD

Very late reply, but yes, you can get vegan/vegetarian pho

The flavour can be a bit blander depending on where you go, but good sauce covers all sins. (soy sauce, fish sauce, chilli sauce, hoisin, etc.)

[crimson fossil]

Mushroom time... Makes for quite some preparation time afterwards ^^ The forest was bountiful today :D

[fathom hinge]

Very jealous, that looks tasty owo
Already a plan what the first thing will be you turn them into? 👀

[crimson fossil]

Today, I fried the two biggest, whole, in a breadcrumb coating; tomorrow, I will fry a full pan of them (so as to use as much as possible before they get bad); and the next day, some will go in a sauce for slow-cooked meat, some will be cut in tiny pieces to flavor rice :-)

It's a bit of a pity that they all come at once: you get to eat way too many mushrooms for two weeks straight, as long as you go walk in the forest a bit; and then nothing for a whole year. I mean, that's cool but... I know just frying them is not very imaginative; I'd like to try them out in other recipes, but you never know whether/when you're going to find them, and when you do find them, of course you don't have other ingredients at hand.

The two biggest :D

I'm excited about the tiny purple ones though; I had never found them yet, I wonder what they taste like :D

By the way, if anyone has ideas about recipes for using medium/large amounts of mushrooms, and that don't require too rare ingredients... Please tell me, my ears are open :D

[worn mica]

While super interesting, isn't it very useful to have a good knowledge of em to avoid unpleasant surprises?

[crimson fossil]

Yep. I always go out with a book in this season. When I talk about the tiny purple ones, I mean that I knew about them, I just hadn't ever found them in real life ^^

[whole latch]

You can dry them and crush them into a like... Umami powder

I don't like the texture of raw or cooked mushrooms so that's my good to, nice in rice, ramen, w meat, etc

[crimson fossil]

How do you dry them? Just let them lay somewhere? They won't rot?

[whole latch]

https://www.montereymushrooms.com/blog/how-to-properly-dry-or-dehydrate-mushrooms

Naw, I've had oyster mushrooms sitting in a colander to dry for like two months, they're like paper at this point. There typically needs to be a enough amount of moisture for mold/rot, so good airflow is v important

They've been dry for a while, I should do smth w them oop

[worn mica]

We got a small drum shaped thing to dry stuff

Mother uses it to dry tiny kiwis for later

[whole latch]

I believe you can rehydrate them once they're dried but I've heard they smell terrible that way

[crimson fossil]

Hm. Ok, thanks for the advice. I'll try with a couple of them. I hope it will work with these wild ones. I hope no insect has laid invisible eggs in them, that will hatch into a hungry worm if left alone ^^

[worn mica]

Beats a hippo

A hungry hungry hippo

We get mushrooms here, but no edible ones as far as I know

[whole latch]

I think doing a good inspection of them and brushing will help prevent that. There's other methods you can do like using an oven on a low setting so look around and see what will work best for you and the types you have!

[crimson fossil]

I don't have enough space to dry large amounts of them though... So still open to other cooking ideas :D

[fathom hinge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZxcdLJgP4A I watch way too many Tasty videos (I always watch food videos while having meals so I don't get hungry) and since it's fall again I remember stumbling over this video again recently

but I absolutely get the point of too many shrooms in too little time

*Mushrooms mb

even though they may mainly use champignons i'm sure in some recipes you can vary the kind of mushroom u wanna use

also maybe how about a mushroom veggie base broth for ramen or something like that? 🤤 🍜

[crimson fossil]

I doubt a bit their mushroom skewers recipe X) Mushrooms take quite a bit of time to be cooked through, and the bacon would probably be burnt to a crisp by then... The risotto recipe looks interesting though!

[crimson fossil]

Yeah, good idea!

[fathom hinge]

Tbf I have tried only a handful of Tasty recipes in general and some of them are rather nice to look at instead of practical to make, but from time to time they serve as a quite the nice inspiration tho 🌞

i spread sum chocolate whipped cream on top of it, to try making it flat (did not have enough whipped cream)

then with white whipped cream, i wrote text on it, and decorated it

the question is, do i add chocolate sprinkles on top or not?

also, writing with whipped cream is not as easy as i hoped xD maybe i'll be better next time

Do you melt the butter before mixing?

[wooden pivot]

i know the feeling >v< (so i always write that i share with people :) )

[crimson fossil]

Recipe says you should, I don't. It gives it a strange crumbly texture if you melt the butter, and makes it harder to work with, instead of yielding a smooth dough. Whyever. I wish I knew more about the chemistry behind all that.

Actually I'm wrong, they use shaving foam to simulate cream I believe

[tender hornet]

It is simple... efficient... recognizable... Truly peak art

[compact scaffold]

Does it mean something?

[brittle wasp]

no meaning, just characters used to draw a face~

thats so cute >v<

[worn mica]

It reminds me of the "default"japanese scarecrow faces

[flint oak]

Yep, it is the Japanese placeholder face 😅

Red fruits cookies (made with whole fruits, not jam! :D )

[wooden pivot]

looks tasty, but it looks like chocolate, so my brain would be confused :P

[crimson fossil]

It's because of the bad light ^^ It's actually pretty red! (damn winters and their early sunsets :p )

[vivid wadi]

butter tarts

[crimson fossil]

Ooooh looks good :D Recipe online?

[vivid wadi]

it's on the back of the corner syrup bottle adjusted along the years of course to the best method that works for myself

let me get u a picture

mine isn't a whole pie so it's adjusted for regular cupcake pan

[crimson fossil]

Thanks 😄 👍

I've looked for corn syrup the other day, but we don't seem to have that in France. The closest I could get was glucose syrup.

Does corn syrup have any taste, or is it just sweet?

[vivid wadi]

Google says that they can be the same thing. It is sweet. Thick like honey just not healthy 🤣

[wooden pivot]

ahhhhh, nevermind what i said then :)

[wooden pivot]

my brain says its marshmallows, is it? :P

[wet citrus]

Yes those are marshmallows

[wooden pivot]

hmmmm looks tasty 😋

[crimson fossil]

That sparkling blue is so pretty 😲

[wooden pivot]

wait, what is below the marshmallows? (i assumed it was a plate >.< )

[crimson fossil]

I was wondering too!

[fluid hull]

Missed Thanksgiving so we are eating hot pot today

[winged pasture]

Looove hotpot! That looks like a yummy spread!

[crimson fossil]

What are the white spiky things to the left?

[storm junco]

Cuttlefish 😮

[wooden pivot]

no clue what hotpot is, but it looks great :)

[crimson fossil]

And, does it come all spiky like that (...is it the tentacles?) or is it prepared and cut to look spiky?

[compact scaffold]

I’m assuming it’s similar to squid.

you score (cut) the squid so it will curl up when you cook it

[wooden pivot]

food is weird :P

its edible science :P

[crimson fossil]

Oooh ! Interesting. Thanks for the answer!

[stable kestrel]

Now I’m craving grilled cuttlefish. Sadly squid is a lot easier to find around here (they taste similar but I like cuttlefish better for some reason, like it’s a little richer and maybe a bit between squid and octopus in flavor to me?), and it’s not really grilling season either. 😔

[wooden pivot]

(now if only there was a lot of explanations as to 'the reason if you add ingredient to the recipe, the mixture reacts in this way', then learning recipes would be a ton easier)

i mean, i've picked up this one for example:
Sugar effects the freezing point, so if you make a sugar syrup (golden syrup), and add that to any fruit smoothie you make & freeze, that's perfect for popsicles, because the fruit popsicle melts easier on the tongue

Food is magic. End of story

my lunch (Nasi Padang) and a cat who really wants to eat it

[median rose]

[flint oak]

Eat the cat.

What're the side dishes?

🤤

[compact scaffold]

Nasi kucing

[brittle wasp]

Beef rendang, sambal ijo & boiled cassava leaves~

[flint oak]

sambal ijooooooo

me want one

and just dip mendoan tempeh in it

🤤

[brittle wasp]

Yashh it was super good 💚

[flint oak]

been a while since i ate nasi padang 🥺

[robust wagon]

I came to this chatroom at the wrong time. II have not had any food yet for today.
*Everything is so delicious

[wooden pivot]

yea i know that feeling :P

[crimson fossil]

Tried out some fancy orange cake today. Looks good enough for a first try, but... The cream inside didn't settle properly, and so it was impossible to serve a proper, not-fleeing slice 😅 Anyway, the recipe is from Boone Bake on YouTube. And by the way, despite my failure, it tastes awesome :D

[wooden pivot]

it looks awesome to me, and taste is the most important thing about food :P

[crimson fossil]

I find the trick with the orange slices so COOL :D There are people with such good ideas. You slice the oranges, candy them in syrup, then lay them on the cooking tray, and pour the sheet cake batter on top of them. That way, they become imprisoned in the cake, and don't fall out!

[wooden pivot]

ooooooo smart!

[wide pendant]

OMG i missed this channel 😭😭😭😭

I made this recently!

I made 6 of these for the fam.

They're beef burgers, with toasted rice buns (i made the buns), cheddar sauce, pepper mushrooms, and bacon.

I paired it with freshly fried potato chips!

[crimson fossil]

Aaaah I love burgers they're one of my favorite salty foods! It looks great and I want one now 😄

[worn mica]

Food

So much food

Must resist

[wide pendant]

Hahahaha!!! I used to post so many food pictures here before... But i got too busy that i eventually forgot this channel exists hahahah!

But wow, food surely is something UwU

[worn mica]

My weekly treat is on hold

At work I buy the sandwiches for sandwich Friday

But I'm saving a little, so sadly I can only buy the tasty sandwiches

For other people

[wide pendant]

Awwwe! I rarely eat out...

I just treat myself by buying ingredients then cooking for my family!!!

I love cooking and my family now prefers my cooking than from restaurants sksksksk

[wooden pivot]

i made butter today

tastes just like storebought creamy butter :P

meaning it tastes great :P

and the leftover juice tastes like skimmed milk :P

[crimson fossil]

Huh! Made it by hand or with a machine?

[wooden pivot]

shaking in a bottle, so by hand :P

[wide pendant]

I u can make them by hand

[crimson fossil]

Oh, you can do that? O.O

[wide pendant]

That sounds so awesome!!!

[crimson fossil]

With a bottle?

[wooden pivot]

watching 2 videos (1 episode of a series, and a short video :P)

[crimson fossil]

How long does it take?

[wide pendant]

Whipping cream is so expensive in my country so i just buy ready-made butter

[crimson fossil]

How sore were your arms afterwards? :D

[wide pendant]

Making buttertakes about 5 to 10 mins of whisking! So it doesn't really makes ur arm some

[wooden pivot]

yea, i looked up videos for a while, and i gathered that you do it manually this way:
fill a bottle 50%, screw a lid on it (meaning no spilling) and shake
it'll reach whipped cream state, and it'll be very hard to keep shaking, so use all your fury and aggression, and after a while the whipped cream breaks into butter & juice, which sploshes when you shake, then you're finished

[wide pendant]

Hahaha that's true!

[wooden pivot]

i did it not to fast, so half an hour, but 20 minutes should be the time you need this way

its a workout

[wide pendant]

Fun fact! The liquid there is buttermilk!

[wooden pivot]

arms were fine :P

[wooden pivot]

yea, but it tasted just like skimmed milk :P

[wide pendant]

IKR?!

[wooden pivot]

i drank it :P

[wide pendant]

Hahahaha!!

[wooden pivot]

but yeah, you can also make butter with a mixer

it'll be faster

but i did not want the extra dishes

so bottle :P

[wide pendant]

This is me

[wooden pivot]

worst part is, i have a dishwasher :P

[wide pendant]

Anyway, IMO, using a whisk and a bowl is faster than the bottle method

[wide pendant]

That's cool!!!

[wooden pivot]

yes :P

[wide pendant]

You should try making butter with infused cream :0

They really turn out awesome

[wooden pivot]

i dont know what infused cream is :P

i simply bought cream at the store, that i normally use for making whipped cream, or for making creamy chocolate milk :P

[wide pendant]

Oooh! It's cbasically incorporating ingredients to the cream the day before making your butter

You can infuse it with garlic and nori (real good for japanese style fried rice)

Or garlic and herbs (for toasts and pasta)

And a whole lot more!

Just trust your ancestors

[wooden pivot]

ohhh herbs butter :)

ancestors?

[wide pendant]

Aaah! It's what we often say when trusting our intuitions when cooking

[wooden pivot]

ooooo i was unfamiliar with that :)

[wide pendant]

Coz if you just go with your flow while cooking, it often turns out great

[wooden pivot]

great idea

[crimson fossil]

Interesting, very interesting all that!

[worn mica]

Trusting your gut works, sometimes

I had some mushrooms in roquefort sauce, with rice

I have a rough time with the flavour, but this was softened by the cream

Made these korean side dishes for dinner

(not korean)

[wooden pivot]

hmmmm 😋

[winged pasture]

Oooo that looks like a yummy spread of 반찬! Looks to me you nailed it pretty well! Do you not like kimchi, or did you just not have any available?

[compact scaffold]

Banchan? 👀

Interesting.

Banchan or bansang is a collective name for small side dishes served along with cooked rice in Korean cuisine.

[winged pasture]

Yuuushhh I even sometimes make some banchan when eating non-Korean food :>>>

[drowsy silo]

[wooden pivot]

those foodies and snackies look tasty :P

yesterday my boyfriend made me hamburgers 😋

and we're trying to eat empty the freezer once more, so that i can thaw out the freezer once more, and then refill it with all kinds of meals :P

we lasted really long with what was in the freezer this time, partly cuz we often ate food that wasnt from the freezer :P

[brittle wasp]

yum hamburger, haven't had that in a while 🍔

[worn mica]

Must not concede

Haven't either, and they're as delicious

But must not

[stray fern]

My breakfast

[wooden pivot]

hmmm that looks tasty 😋

we had soup tonight :) pea soup 👌 😋

store-bought :-3

but im planning to make it in big amounts one day :)

same for lentil soup 😋

and my freezer simply is not complete without veggies soup in it, so yeah that has to be made as well

[stray fern]

Soup good

[worn mica]

I'm quite partial to chickpeas

They work in so many dishes
