I have been waist deep in a pile of Oreos when working on the machine that puts the filling in them. The filling is tricky stuff there is a very narrow band between concrete and liquid.
After having eaten my own body weight in them, I can no longer stand the filling, I only will eat the base cakes.
ooh that shortbread sounds good.
I am guessing it is sweet cornbread, not savory. So raisins would be a fine addition.
I drink Diet soda, when I drink soda, because full sugar soda makes my teeth ache. I've gotten so used to it that I really don't care for the flavor of sugar soda.
That said, I don't drink much soda because carbonation is weird.
What the heck is a pavlova? I thought he was the guy with the dogs.
I will have to give this a shot. I just joined a subscription coffee service, I expect my fresh roasted coffee to arrive shortly.
Because they are cool I am giving a shameless plug for tonx.org
How about noodles with peanut sauce?
What defines 'pizza' then? Can I call anything pizza?
Naan is not pizza, neither is pita bread or a slice of rustic white. Or is the crust optional too? In which case tomato soup would be pizza, or a slice of mozzarella.
Your headline says perfect coffee. This is a quest for some people and goes way beyond something you buy at the local mega-mart.
How far are you willing to go on your quest for perfect? Are you willing to buy the green beans and learn to roast them yourself? How about measuring everything by weight and using a thermometer to get just the perfect water temp?
I find the best place to start is to look at the water you are using. If you are using tap water you won't drink straight up, change that first. Grinding your own beans also will get you a step closer to the perfect cup.
@carmason is that the commercial with the fancy whisk stirring the chocolate? I always want the whisk.

I worked on the Oreo production line. My claim to fame is that I programmed the machine that inserts the filling between the two base cakes. While Kraft is does sometimes employ co-packers to manufacture their trial products. Their core products are made in house and not sold under generic brands.
Are there some foods that can't be "improved" without becoming something else entirely? Ketchup is certainly one of those, I think perhaps so is duck sauce. Sure, it's tasty, but is it still duck sauce?
I love my vacuum pot. It is fun to pull out after a dinner, it is a conversation piece. Since I tend to hang with geeky engineer types, they just love to watch it do its thing so much I think they would drink the coffee even if it was terrible. Luckily it makes good coffee too.
Induction cook tops are the best. You can keep your crummy old gas, I'm cooking on the future.
Currently my favorite knife is a Kerocyra ceramic chef
I love my Shun knife, it seems to fit so well
So many different ways are good, it's hard to pick a favorite.
Can this be made with the 2 minute mayo technique from Food Labs rather than the whisking?
I have a leftover box of baby oatmeal. My children have outgrown that stage and no longer eat it. The cheapskate in me won't let me throw it out.
What would you do with a box of finely ground oatmeal? I am not sure how babies stand it, so I am not just going to eat it as oatmeal.
I heard a story on NPR this morning about cooking with bugs. Has anyone here done it on a regular basis?
Where would you obtain crickets or such to cook with? Are there any good places to go for recipes?
I was wondering what recipes people make that impress, but are actually quite easy.
I'm lazy and I like compliments, so I was wondering if there was a way to do both. I suppose I could order out, but I am kind of cheap too and those are my good points.
Is the pour over cone type coffee any better or worse than french press coffee? Do people find it more convenient?
I currently have Keurig, but I am think of switching for cost/quality reasons. I understand I'll never match the ease of that, but I really don't want to make too much of a production out of coffee.

While "aioli" is thrown around incredibly loosely for any mayo-like sauce, it's really only one thing: garlic mayonnaise, which is great for adding a creamy garlic bite to sandwiches, fries, or really any such thing your heart desires. More
All Mallowmars are hand packed into the box. I just thought it was fascinating that they are too delicate for mechanical packing.
