They’re things we all have in common, yet we haven’t had a new thread about them since last year. So what are we waiting for? Let’s eat talk about eating!
Patience, Please
This site is under reconstruction and will look strange for a while. We regret the inconvenience.
I made Peace Pie a while ago. ‘Twas yummy.
(first post?)
I’m hungry.
I once made these really yummy dessert bars- they had a layer of shortbread, then a layer of caramel, then a layer of brownie on top. They were incredible, but the recipe took so long…quite a shame.
I want to cook more. Maybe I can join a cooking club at school.
I can bake if I have a recipe. I usually don’t cook.
Vanilla yogurt. Frozen blueberries. Chopped almonds. Low-cal love. :3
I have food issues, so I can’t eat a lot of foods like chocolate and stuff. I like grilled cheese and frozen fruit.
I made chocolate chip cookies from scratch and brought them to a group outing. They were gone in about five minutes, 16 out of the 19 I made, anyway. I was hoping for leftovers to bring home, but really, who am I kidding?
Soup. I like soup. Especially the oyster crackers. And especially if it’s french-onion.

I can cook…. um…. pasta. I can bake brownies and snickerdoodles, and I forget how to make fudge. Yay!
I used to have a recipe for fudge, but it involved raw eggs, which isn’t such a great idea anymore. I made peppermint fudge using that recipe once, and it turned out OK…
Mmmmmmm. Yum. I love fudge. And peppermint fudge. I made some once (or maybe twice or three times) for the fair back home when i was younger. One of the food items for which I got a purple ribbon (grand champion). ’twas fun. Except, now that I’m in the adult category, I don’t rate ribbons anymore, because apparently my stuff is just that horrible compared to everyone else’s…..
Um… I made instant oatmeal this morning. I didn’t realize that the cafeteria still closed at 8:30 on Wednesdays, even if people don’t have anything scheduled until 9:30. I think Wednesday will be oatmeal/cold cereal in my wing day.
I had a really nice five-course dinner last Friday. It was my parents’ reward for surviving over a week with only cafeteria food. I had:
fresh tomatoes with arugula and really good prosciutto
corn soup with scallops
salmon with a pineapple-citrus sauce and polenta
steak with scalloped potatoes and green beans
molten chocolate cake with ice cream
‘Twas delicious. Other than that, I’ve been eating cafeteria food. (It’s not bad for cafeteria food, but still…) I do have a fridge and a few microwave-able things in my room, but I keep them for days when I get to the cafeteria late or when they decide that funnel cakes and snow cones at the school carnival are a perfectly acceptable brunch.
Funnel cakes and snow comes? For brunch?!
They didn’t bother to actually open the cafeteria, since they figured we had “food” at the carnival. (I’m still trying to figure out their definition of food.)
Oh dear.
They sound like me.
Today I made a Brasilian black bean soup (from the Moosewood cookbook), with orange juice and bell pepper and cumin and tomato paste and (of course) black beans. It was pretty much amazing. And yesterday I made chips and eggs.
How to make chips and eggs:
Mix up eggs with any powdered spices, tomato paste, etc.
Saute onions, seed/pod spices, garlic, saute-y vegetables, etc. When onions are translucent, add tortilla chips. Or pieces of corn tortilla works too.
Saute some more.
Add eggs, softer vegetables, olives, whatever.
When eggs are cooked, remove from heat.
Add cheese, cilantro, salsa, whatever. Eat.
Right now I am craving bread and butter, but because the bread my sister bought is the worst of white sourdough supposedly-artisan-but-really-not bread, I am trying to satisfy my craving with the Indonesian rice salad we made on Monday (rice, carrots, bell pepper, pineapple, orange juice, lime juice, currants, scallions and I think some other stuff), which is kind of amazing but somehow not as satisfying as I had hoped. Also we have macadamia nut butter in the fridge and I really want some, but…no bread. I must have Mother show me how to make bread tomorrow.
Ahhhh, food. How I love it. I’m horrible at cooking though but that’s not really a problem at my age because my parents do all the cooking in my house and I’m only twelve. My favorite food….I’m not really sure, but I do love my mom’s homemade pesto pasta.
Pseudonym cooks for me. i love how she randomly makes me lunch. it’s useful
*round of applause for Pseu*
*Pseudo***
Are you new? I haven’t seen you before.
On another note…
I decided to make cookies yesterday. They are sooo good, and soo evil! The butter! The obscene amount of butter!
I think I have a cookie fetish. Plus, they’re just about the only thing I can cook.
Pseudo makes cookies!!! i once got the urge *number two* make cookies and they were yummy!! i don’t make cookies that often. I mean, I don’t make cookies that often. Ugh it’s so hard to get used to this capitalizing thing!
Pseudo and I made banana cake coconut thingie today!
there are no
Bananas in the sky, in the sky there are no
Bananas in the sky, in the sky
There’s a sun and a moon and a chocolate cream pie but there are no
Bananas in the sky, in the sky!
Il n’y a pas
De bananes dans le ciel, dans le ciel,
Il n’y a pas
De bananes dans le ciel, dans le ciel,
Il y’a lune, et soleil, et la tautou chocolat mais il n’y a pas
De bananes dans le ciel!
No hay plátanos en el cielo, en el cielo. no hay plátanos en el cielo, en el cielo. no hay un sol y una luna y un pastel de crema de chocolate, pero no hay plátanos en el cielo, en el cielo!
sfttp … ?
Sorry for the .. how many posts is it now? Anyway, today Pseudo made chocolate pudding pie.
I think you killed the thread… No one’s here but you. (And you posing as me.)
Well…I’m here now!
I gots this awesome vegan cupcake book yesterday! Gonna make “peanut butter bombs”.
Are you vegan? Peanut butter bombs…that sounds yummy.
One word. CHEESE.
Feta cheese. Toasted pecans. Mmm. Have you tried cucumber ice cream? It’s delicious. (Debatabely.)
I saw a show on TV about someone who went to Mexico and they went to an ice cream parlor where they sold CORN flavored ice cream. The reporter person said that it was very good, but I’m not so sure. Peppermint ice cream is delicious, and maple ice cream is good too (without the walnuts).
Marshmallow orange pineapple ice cream in a chocolate coated waffle cone. You have to try it. It’s the best I’ve ever had.
I know a place where they sold avocado ice cream. And clam chowder ice cream.
22.1.1.1-That sound delicious. *craving*
A Vietnamese restaurant near me makes avocado smoothies. Lately I’ve been fixing something sort of in between by mushing avocado into plain yoghurt.
Peppermint is my favoritey favorite thing ever. I also love that Red Sox brand ice cream, where they have the little sock shaped candies and veins of chocolate stuffy and it’s really good? and mint chip. OH, and yes, orange pineapple!!! and heath bar! and snickers! and i’m forgetting to capitalize i’m so excited! I’m so excited I mean!! Haha! Sorry!
*ice cream lovers of the world unite*
I think you should take a deep breath. Only I reckon you’re a tad hyper tonight.
Yesterday I had the best dessert ever! It was delicious fudge with ice cream and one of those fake cherry things on top that I hate, but I just picked it off and the rest was good. I know it sounds so simple, but it was soooooo good.
You all have not lived until this day!!!!!!!
So go find your local trader named Joe and out of his hands wrest a box of mini chocolate peanut butter cups (If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s then find some kind of mini peanut butter cups). Let them sit out a bit (WITHOUT eating them) and then throw them in a bowl. Make your own cookie dough or use your favorite mix, but mush them up with the dough and then bake these cookies. Let cool, then eat.
YUM!!!!!! As some of you know, I’m a not-recovering chocaholic, and adding peanut butter just makes it worse.
OOO. THAT SOUNDS…YUMMY. *devours vanilla’s cookies* mwahahaha i ate your cookies!!
I made pumpkin pie yesterday. I was trying to make pumpkin pasties (HP) but the filly was too runny so it wouldn’t stay in the crusts, so I ended up making mini pies in a muffin tin. I was going to throw one, but it would be a waste of good pie.
I read an article on the internet about odd ingridients (sp?) and the next time I make whipped cream I shall add crushed altoids.
I like sea urchins. (not to eat)
Sounds tasty. Although in my opinion, it’s much more of a waste not to throw the pie than not to eat the pie.
I made crepes today. I made them with lemon juice and sugar, apples and chocolate and sometimes almonds, and (a new idea from my brother) apples with cinnamon and sugar and lemon juice. It was delicious. I love making crepes. And omelets. Yesterday I made a chocolate cake with my mom’s daycare. It was fun. (And vegan.)
The crepe recipe can be found at http:// cookingwithalia . com/index.php?searchword=french+crepes&ordering=newest&searchphrase=all&Itemid=65&option=com_search
(I know, long URL. But that website is amazing. Go there. (cookingwithalia . com))
Nutella cake: cake mix with about half a jar of Nutella mixed in (it blended very well, I was surprised) and baked, frosted with Nutella. If you’re using as scratch mix, don’t put vanilla in.
SudoRandom–lemon juice and sugar? Hmm, interesting. I usually stick with maple syrup (the real kind, not the fake stuff) or chocolate, strawberries, and ice cream.
I ALWAYS eat lemon juice with sugar when i have crepes. it’s the BEST – try it, vanilla!
For a second there I thought you’d said you eat lemon juice with sugar when you have the creeps.
Hahaha. Would that be a useful treatment? Probably. SUGAR MAKES ME HAPPY
SFTDP!!! I HATE KILLING THREADS!!!
But I just wanted to ask if anyone makes grilled cheese sandwiches in their waffle cooker? mm-mm good.
33- Sounds like a good way to make a panini.
Today I made donuts. Yum.
Yesterday I made peanut butter kiss cookies while i was staying up til midnight.
I made cookies in the microwave once… They were more like warm cookie dough.
I made peppermint bark and it was insanely good. Even though I had to half the recipe because I forgot to check the amounts beforehand >_<
I made rice crispies today. Melted marshmallow should be used as industrial-strength glue.
What a coincidence! My mom made (
Alliteration!) Rice Crispies today too!
Took a flour tortilla (versus corn-based)
put tomato sauce (spaghetti) on top, spread it around with the back of a spoon
piled on shredded cheese we had in the cheese drawer (o wondrous place of deliciousness) and added some parmesan
heated in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Fold in half to eat.
Not bad. I was really craving pizza and it didn’t taste anything like it, but it was pretty good. Kind of messy though.
The first time my mom and I made peanut butter kiss cookies I saw the picture of them in the cookbook and I was really confused as to where we were going to get the giant chocolate chips. I thought they came from a specialty baker or something…
Sadly, this was two years ago.
A few days ago I made, er, thingies. (Real descriptive, Pseudo. *headdesk*) I sliced a banana, mixes rasberries and vanilla ice cream in the blender and refroze it, and spooned then spooned some of the mixture (about a teaspoon) onto each banana slice. Then I put strips of mango over each of the rasberry/vanilla ice cream-topped bananas and froze the whole thing. They were pretty good.
Also, does anybody know how to make vegetable broth? Is their more to it than boiling vegetable bits in salted water and then straining it after a while? Because I use vegetable broth all the time, but the bouillion (spelling?) cubes are way too salty.
41-Sounds yummy!
I was cooking Udon noodles in Dashi stock, and they were delicious!!!!!! mmm… Sadly, I made way too much, and couldn’t eat it all. *sighs* What a waste. I am going to have a sleepover with a friend of mine who loves Japan a lot, waaaaaaaaaaay more than me, and was the one who got me interested in Japan. Anyway, so then we will cook tons of Japanese food!!!!! Mwahaha!!! So, my mom has one of those Foods of the world cookbooks(Or something similar, can’t remember.) and it is about Japanese food. After looking through it, I have chosen several dishes and will be serving:
Makizushi(rolled sushi) with any vegtables I have lying around the house, and sushi ginger & Wasabi sauce.
Round Udon noodles in Dashi stock
Water Chestnuts fried in peanut oil
Green Tea
Pickled Radish
Short-grain Japanese rice
Mizuyokan(Red Bean Cake)
What do you think? Sound Yummy?
Ooh. Mizuyokan. Have you had anpan? I love an (red bean).
MAKIZUSHI! I love Japanese food, my mom makes it all the time, plus strange variations. If you can eat natto then I applaud you.
No, I’ve never had anpan. It is good? I love japanese food!! You are really lucky! Yeah, red bean is really yummy! No, I don’t think I have the moral fiber(hehe) to try natto. I have everything I need to make this stuff, but my friend REALLY NEEDS TO COME OVER so that I can cook it. I can’t wait! *squeal* *gets really hyper, falls down* Okay, sorry. I love japanese food. Now I’m hungry. Heehee.
Oh come on. Natto is just fermented soybeans, aka soybeans that are somewhat into the process of rotting. If you ignore the texture and the fact that you’re eating slightly rotten soybeans, it’s yummy.
Anpan is very good. It’s basically a roll with an in the center of it.
Fact of the day: Most Japanese people think that instant ramen was the greatest thing ever invented in the history of the world.
Sorry for the double post, even if this is a week or two after.
I made a blackberry pie yesterday!!!!!!! Pie rules!!!!!!!!
Yum! The very first pie I ever made was blackberry. We were living in Charleston, SC, at the time, so I must have been 10 or 11. I picked the blackberries from a vacant lot near our house.
Blackberry pies rule. We have a blackberry patch on our driveway, and my dad picked a ton of blackberrys, so how could I not?
I’ve just finished making blackberry sorbet. ‘Tis the season.
– 42 *mouth waters*
– 43 Yum! Pie is nearly as fun to make as to eat!
I gotta get of this thread. It’s not a good time to get hungry…
