My niece is getting married next weekend and I have just learned I have been assigned the tast of making frittatas for pre-wedding #brunch. I'm a capable home cook, but my partner generally handles all breakfasty-things, so I'm not exactly in my comfort zone here.
Please send me your best frittata #recipes and tips, esp. re #cooking for a crowd! Assume I'm an idiot.
It's funny, when the web and personal computers first got started, recipes were often cited as the 'killer app' hauled out whenever an enthusiast wanted to explain why regular people would want a machine in their home, or why they'd use the 'net.
Now some 30yrs later, it seems like recipe sites are the harbingers of everything wrong with the web. So many of them are now mostly SEO-laden link-farms, and ad-revenue trash.
My fave food YouTube channels are the ones where people go deep into something they love and don’t feel they have to explain. I’m tired of NYT-style white gazy recipes that go ‘lemongrass is <so exotic, here’s how you use it>’. No thanks. Jump straight into something of value and super tasty, assume people know things (or will look things up if they don’t).
Bong Eats is always reliable for well, Bengali food, and here they reverse engineer a chicken rezala
Instant Brands, owner of the Instant Pot, has filed for bankruptcy. The Takeout has a theory about why the set-it-and-forget-it kitchen gadget got into financial hot water. Are you an Instant Pot fan or do you think it was just a flash in the pan?
Come on #Scotland, I need a foolproof recipe for #TattieScones or potato scones if you would prefer but not potato farles. The shops in Cornwall, for some reason have stopped selling them, even the tory Warburton ones have vanished. So please help a Scottish lass in exile in Cornwall to remember hame wi a good recipe and tell me how you make yours? I can get proper black pud and square sausage nae bother but hame made tattie scones have tae be the best, nae? #Help#Recipes
I spent many years in India and find the American take on ‘chai tea’ kind of weird. Like, it’s a totally different beverage (which is fine). Anyway, I make my own masala chai with a recipe a friend’s mother drilled into me:
Add a cup of water and a cup of milk into a pot. (That’s enough for 2 whole cups of chai) bring to a rolling boil. Add a wooden spoon above it so it doesn’t bubble over.
Meanwhile, crush whole spices and ginger (skin removed), and cinnamon. Throw it into the pot.
So a lot of people who are in unstable, abusive, and/or periodically violent living situations keep cell phones hidden for emergencies.
If you know anyone in such a situation, make sure they know about FEMA's testing of its Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system next Wednesday (10/4). This test will bypass the phone's silencing features. To keep the phone quiet during this alert, it has to be completely powered down.
This alert is scheduled for the following times:
Wednesday 10/4
2:20pm EST
1:20pm CST
12:20pm MST
11:20am PST
I've just set up a trial account on Kbin (see profile), a #Fediverse Reddit alternative. I plan to use my main account to see how it federates with Mastodon :mastodon:
For starters, here's a link to a Vegan Recipes Kbin 'magazine' (sub-reddit) I found which folks might enjoy regardless -
Need a favor.
Someone I love has high blood pressure and really should go on a lower-salt diet.
Does anyone have good recipes that actually taste good, are easy to make, and are low in sodium? I'm researching online but it's hard to tell which actually taste good and which don't.
This Malaysian Chinese channel ‘Cooking Ah Pa’ is like the food show my dad would make if he was better at technology. They even sound the same. Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese men of that generation all sound the same to me!
Butter brand is important: a lot of American butter (even the best brands) have fat content that is too low for French recipes. I use Vital Farms, Plugra or Kerrygold
Indie movie studio A24 has released a new cookbook, "Scrounging," full of recipes for cinema's most unsettling meals, most of which you wouldn't actually want to eat — think Arnold Schwarzenegger's pizza smoothie from "End of Days" and Will Ferrell's horrifying maple-syrup spaghetti from "Elf." Here's a glimpse inside the book, but we want to know which on-screen food you think looks most appetizing.
