Orangina Rouge, Melon Soda, and Espresso Soda.
also.. omg there's a Passion fruit fanta!?
@MeganG11 I hope yours came out okay. I decided to try it with another fruit (strawberries) as I was out of blueberries as my family liked the cake well enough. I think the key is to reduce the fruit to a paste. It takes a lot longer than 10 minutes, clearly, but the end product mixed with the batter was able to be dolloped on and didn't spread over the entire cake, so I was able to actually swirl it. The last one was so liquidy that it didn't get a good swirl at all.
Good luck!!
Okay, I have this in the oven right now, but I'm pretty sure my swirl remained too watery. Once mixed with the batter, it wasn't really able to be dolloped and instead poured. Even when I spooned it, it spread all over the top of the plain batter. Could you give a bit more clarification on what the consistency of the swirl should be when it is done cooking? Thanks!
I'm going to try this today! I am out of plain greek yogurt so I'll be seeing how it works with strained goat milk yogurt.
The Madison Cowan episodes might have just about changed my life. Those are my favorite chopped moments. I still watch it, in the event someone else amazes me, but after him, the show is not the same...
Cafe Zaiya!! I miss it so much. I try to go anytime I make it back to the city. So much yummy, cheap stuff. Their egg salad sandwiches are perfect too ;)
No lilikoi desserts? Boo!
Strained yogurt with passion fruit butter and chocolate chips... if only passion fruit butter were easy to come by!
Hmm... I have been browsing at online suggestions @smsingram, that might work. The recipes people are saying are successful for vege fish sauce are made with seaweed :) Might try to make a batch in the near future.
Happy Someone else pointed out that they never stopped frying them in HI! When my family would come and visit me when I was there for undergrad, they'd storm McD for the pies! LOL
Is there a vegetarian substitute for fish sauce for those of us who can't eat it due to allergies or dietary restrictions?

Fresh baked baguette! Any thing fresh baked really. Alternately, anything extra crusty with lots of butter is good too.
@BananaMonkey CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! You totally earned the meal! When do you submit/defend?
@hungrychristel
This recipe really was cleaning out the cupboard lol.
2 jalapenos
3 inches worth of ginger root
2-3 cloves garlic
1 bunch green onions
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter (separated in half)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 tsp maramite (I'm allergic to fish sauce)
1 packet low sodium vegetable broth concentrate
1/2 cup water
1-2 tables spoons curry powder
3 tbs apple cider vinegar
1-2 tbs agave nectar
Put everything but half the peanut butter in a powerful blender or food processor until smooth. Put in a sauce pan over low heat and add the rest of the penut butter. Cook until it doesn't taste raw anymore
& Happy Thanksgiving Canada!
I now have many new methods to try. Very awesome.
@Bunnee I searched for one and didn't find it before so thank you for sharing! Interesting that no one is using Kenji's technique though.
@pthome I usually can hear the timer. However, the method I was using required me to hear it 3 times. So, I am asking how people boil their eggs out of curiosity brought on by a mishap. I don't think I asked for a timer free method?
Due to a few days where the tap water was smelling quite bad and tasting the same, we buy reverse osmosis tap water from the store and keep it in 3 and 5 gallon water jugs and that is are drinking water (I use it for tea and coffee too). We use tap for everything else though, unless it is smelly. Then we use bottled for everything and avoid things that need to be boiled.
Yes. Guidelines would be awesome, or a list of forbidden pages.
I was actually just reading an article on this and it went in to last meal requests as a way to study the social class of those who appear on death row. And yes, there is a massive class/racial etc disparities to those who are on death row. And massive difference in the chance of a death sentence (something like 8:1) if the perpetrator is of color and the victim is white. You will see all of this reflected in the food choices. What we eat says a lot about where we come from.
And for those who don't know if they'd be able to eat. There are prisoners who don't request last meals.
(and it is more expensive to go through the death row proceedings than to prison someone for life nationally, not just in CA).
So, is it similar to an Italian Fiesta pizza in terms of the sauce? (that is my quintessential chicago south side nostalgia pizza, and the only chicago pizza I can't come close to cloning)
I am going through my cabinets and fridge and clearing stuff out. Dinner tonight is Turkey and Heirloom tomato melt, homemade french fries with a curried ketchup and berry green smoothies for dinner tonight.
We also had a penut butter/ginger/jalapeno curry (it apparently wasn't spicy enough as the 1 year old loved it) with rice noodles, an egg, another tomato and various fridge veggies.
You?
No really? What do you think is the best method that you use every time without fail? My perfect method failed last night as a teething baby prevented me from hearing the timer go off.
Their site says that are "World's best cream puff" and I agree. However, I no longer live in NYC, or Hawaii or any of the other places that have been lucky enough to have a franchise. Any time I see a new cream puff recipe, I shed a little tear because I know it will lead to an emotional rollercoaster that starts with joy, leads to nostalgia, then disappointment and finally anger/despair.
So, does anyone have any clue on how to make something similar? Would it even be possible in a home kitchen? I'm getting desperate here. ;)
This recipe requires no kneading, no stretching, pretty much no skill whatsoever to create a crisp-crusted, airy, chewy pan pizza. Top as desired. More
The secret to our Chicken Tikka Masala is a salty yogurt-based mariade followed by intense charring on a hot grill. We purposely undercook our chicken so it can simmer in a creamy spiced tomato and cream sauce before serving. When done right, the sauce should be a multifaceted affair; A balanced blend of intense spice flavors with a gingery kick rounded off by the richness of cream and butter, with a splash of freshness and acid from tomatoes and citrus. As you bite into a chunk of chicken, the smokey char should work its way though to the forefront, to be slowly replaced by a new layer of spicing, this time intensified by its time on the grill. The chicken chunks should be juicy, moist, and tender. More
If you've ordered takeout from a Chinese restaurant in your life, you've probably either seen or tasted Kung Pao chicken. And I'll admit that it's a dish I've loved and still enjoy. But the Westernized version is missing the key ingredient that is the star of the authentic Sichuan version, known more commonly as Gong Bao chicken: Sichuan peppercorns. It's their unique, mouth-numbing effect that gives the dish its spicy, warming quality. More
Let's face it—brunch is a meal designed to further the consumption of alcohol. And even if a simple coffee cake and a pot of coffee is all you have to offer, then by all means flavor it with a few drops of booze. More

This classic American treat is somewhere between a pancake and a popover. Serve it warm, sprinkled with sugar and lemon juice. More
Fluffy eggs stir-fried until just cooked, mixed with tomatoes that under the heat of the wok will practically dissolve into a semi-tart, semi-sweet sauce. It is simple, and soothing, and goes perfectly with a bowl of rice. More
This recipe is very simple, but flipping the torta takes a bit of practice. Don't get discouraged, take your time, and be gentle. It may take more than one time, but you'll get it eventually. Once you give this dish a try the practice wont be an issue because you'll be craving a slice every Sunday morning. More
My wife doesn't bake much, but she's got a few tricks up her short sleeves. Let me explain with a story that is most likely true in fact if not in detail. More
Slices of poached chicken soak in a 50/50 chicken broth and rice wine marinade up until the moment you set it on a plate to eat. The resulting chicken is cold, juicy, and drenched in wine. More
I take my bread inspiration from many places. Lately I've been working on a recipe for a savory apple bread (thanks to conversations with JerzeeTomato on Facebook). For the two weeks it took me to complete that recipe, my house smelled like baked apples. I was happy with the results. But it wasn't enough. Once I starting thinking about the flavors of a caramel apple—the fresh tartness of the apple itself, covered with caramel and dipped in nuts—I had a new goal: sweet Caramel Apple Bread. More
