Grocery Ninja: What to Do With Condensed Milk
My grandma, who lived through the depression loves to dip homemade shortbread cookies in coffee and condensed milk. It is delicious!
Nacho Cheese Fountain
I rebuff the detractors and say that nacho cheese looks absolutely delicious. Who else is going to have such a magnificent center piece at your next party?
Sullivan St. no knead bread
The original recipe is amazingly delicious, but I love to add things. Raisins and brown sugar are great. Rosemary is awesome. For a richer crust, you can drizzle it with olive oil when the lid comes off (just be sure to keep it on the bread. If I fold in sun dried tomatoes, they have to be basted in oil for a week, or you get a weird chewy surprise, but they are the best additive yet.
I did the recipe here: http://red-icculus.com/?p=21

Have Hardee's and Carl's Jr. Gone Too Far (Or Big)?
Why is everyone blaming the execs of the company? How about personal responsibility? It's your own fault if you get fat, because you are the one that decided to put it in your mouth.
This huge burger is a great marketing move. When Wendy's marketed the triple cheeseburger, not many people bought it, but the sales of double cheeseburgers went up. This is because consumers had more choice on how many patties go on their burger. It's brilliant!
The Wine's Organic, but How Does It Taste?
Organic is simply a "feel good" niche market. Chemical fertilizers are cleaner and less prone to introduce things like e. coli to what you put in your body. Funky wine from lack of sulfites is yet another reason organic is bound to fail.
Unbelieveable! This Is Not Butter!
Or skip the sketchy marketing and make your own thanks to Hillbilly Housewife.
Blender Margarine
* 2/3 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder
* 2 packets butter buds, dry butter flavoring (optional, for flavor)
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 2/3 cup fresh water
* 4 drops yellow food coloring (optional)
* 1-1/2 cups vegetable oil
This is one of those cool recipes that makes you feel like an alchemist in the kitchen. You do need a blender to make this recipe. Non-electric blenders can be found at Lehmans.com.
Begin by measuring the dry milk powder, butter buds, salt and fresh water in the blender. Add the food coloring if you are using it and process the mixture for a few seconds. Remove the center of the blender lid. With the blender running, dribble in the oil in a thin stream. This is important. If you dump the oil all in at once, the recipe won't turn out. So add the oil slowly. The mixture will thicken and become very creamy. When all of the oil has been added the mixture will be very thick. Turn the blender off. Scrape the margarine into a resealable container. You should have about 2 cups of margarine or the equivalent of a pound.
The flavor of the oil is very important to this recipe. Only use fresh, high quality oil. Corn oil tastes good, as does safflower oil. Canola oil will work also, but I do not recommend soy bean oil. I made it with soybean oil the first time because I had a big gallon of it I was trying to use up. The recipe turned out fine, but didn't have the delicacy of flavor that it did when made with corn oil. I would not use olive oil in this recipe.
If you do not have butter buds, then increase the salt to 1/2-teaspoon. The butter buds give the margarine a light, buttery flavor that I enjoy, but not everyone does. Use this margarine as a spread and for seasoning vegetables. Do not use it for frying or baking. The water content makes it spatter when frying, and makes cakes fall when baking.

My favorite recipe consists of a couple of spoonfulls of sugar, condensed milk and 7up.
Put the sugar in a tall glass add some condensed milk. Stir the mixture and then add the 7up or coca-cola.

Oh my, let's complain about carbs every day for the rest of our lives, but eat all the fatty meats and cheeses we can, because I don't want to live past the age of 50. Carbohydrates are energy, it's simple. What can you do without energy? If you say ANYTHING in response, you're uneducated. Every single person that I have EVER heard complaining about carbohydrates does not hold a degree in Biology (or Physiology for that matter). I digress; ultimately you do whatever you want, and enjoy your myocardial infarction and, probably, death.
One more thing, about people who are obese, quit blaming it on hypothyroidism. In fact, about 7.0% of the world population actually has it.
Have a great day.

dizastress and yi: omg, me too! in a silent (S-I-L-E-N-T) office area and here I am giggling at the thought of lookalike cats staring each other down from across the street....oh, geez. i've gotta step outside to let this laugh out or i may just implode!

You people really need to get a f-ing life. I tried one today and it was pretty good. quit running your mouths about shit you don't know about.

I ate one of these fool things. Domino's was giving them away for free last week. I had the sausage/marinara version. It actually tasted pretty good, but it was more like breadsticks with some dipping sauce dumped on top, and about 5 pieces of penne and an ounce of cheese. So yeah, mostly just breadstick-y. Definitely not worth $5.99, and not so amazing or delicious that I'd order it again. But it was a decent free lunch.

Hey guys..Im all about couting calories, and follow through with a 1,600 calorie limit a day diet. (which is measured out appropriately for my weight.) apparently, in my point of veiw, the bread bowl isnt too bad calorie wise. i researched that one serving is ranged to be 335-370 calories, and theres 2 servings in one bowl. considering how like packed with carbs the bowls look, id spoil my cravings of pasta and bread for approx. 400 calarioes.

What is with this post atkins obsession with carbs.
Carbs are not FARKING bad for you.
These pasta bowls... yep, they're unhealthy. Because they're loaded with carbs? No.
Because they are high processed loaded in saturated fat and lots of empty calories.
Carbs = Energy. In the same way that protein works, there's good and bad varieties.
If you eat what you need and you excercise as any person should, then you do not gain weight.
Calories and excess = weight gain.
These dishes are not unhealthy because of carbs.

People, people, people!! SOMEONE is eating this stuff! Apparently, ALOT of someones, or the company would cease to exist. I guess it's just not folks who follow this site. And why is it ok to pair spaghetti with garlic bread? Is it not the same thing?

THIS KIND OF REMINDS ME OF PAULA DEAN TAKING MAC AND CHEESE, WRAPPING IN BACON AND DEEP FRYING IT. ---- RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS TO COOK. THIS "IDEA" IS EVERY BIT AS BAD. BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WILL EAT IT.

I just had this today. Ain't that bad. More like one of those pizzas with ziti on it that you find in NY.

We went to a 4 star restaurant in Italy and replaced their delicious authentic dishes with our new bread bowl pastas and the barf o rama ensued.

Would you like some carbs with your carbs?
Domino’s Launches Line of Bread Bowl Pastas
you remember that pizza that had little niblets of cheese baked in the crust, and you could tear them off and eat them? they should make the bread bowl like that, like a garlic cheese bread thing, that you could tear off and eat as you're eating your pasta. cuz if this is just a plain breadbowl, i dont really see the point. pasta and cheesy garlic bread, now thats a worthy invention. but anyways, i think they should just try to improve their pizza instead. like, how about using all that R&D $$ to roll out some new pizzas with better ingredients? i think that would go over much better right now.

FAIL. no, Domino's. no no no.

There's a place in Alexandria, VA called Generous George's Positive Pizza Palace that's been heaping pasta on pizza for decades.
This is carbs on carbs, and it's Domino's. Pass.

Beau Jo's in Colorado actually does something like this...a big bowl of pasta in their garlic bread bowl, and it's incredible. Menu is here: http://www.beaujos.com/pastas.cfm if you're interested (I do not work for Beau Jo's and am not trying to advertise, but there's a picture on the site which is why I linked to it). I'm sure the Domino's one isn't as good since their pizza isn't nearly as good at Beau Jo's, but the idea of pasta in a bread bowl delivered to my door still sounds appealing.

Oh, come on -- have none of you ever eaten the student classic that is the spaghetti sandwich?
Granted, these look gross, but done properly, the bread-and-pasta can be awesome.

This is horrifying. But I've never even had Dominos, so what do I know.

This sounds like Dominos' answer to the wretched KFC Famous Bowl. I hope that Patton Oswalt does a takedown of this one too.

Well, I always bring up the ziti pizzas when stuff like this gets marketed--I have seen many good pizza places occasionally serve pasta on pizza, although I don't like pasta so I've never bought it!
