I'm guessing that since 150 isn't the cap, people can argue over this again. I'm 161

My little boys scream that in the car.

This folder's rather unique in that the only topic that is considered off topic is about your level/circles.

The last several years it's been about music. I'd be happy to see cooking recipes again. :(

Oreo Brownies

-- Ingredients:
2/3 cup frozen blueberries (enough to make 1/3 cup blueberry puree)
2 tbsp warm water
2 7/16 cup(19.5 oz) brownie mix (preferably dark chocolate)
9/40 cup applesauce
1/2 cup egg whites
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup white chocolate chips
4 tbsp cool water

-- Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Optional: Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.

In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, puree frozen blueberries and warm water until smooth. You will need 1/3 cup of blueberry puree, so you may have to adjust the quantity of frozen blueberries you use to end up with 1/3 cup.

In a medium mixing bowl, using a spatula or wooden spoon, beat blueberry puree with applesauce and egg whites until smooth.

In a large mixing bowl using the same, combine and beat liquid mixture with brownie mix. Stir in chopped walnuts.

Pour brownie batter into prepared dish. Bake 28-33 minutes until a knife inserted two inches from the edge comes out clean. Let brownies cool before cutting.

Melt chocolate with cool water in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Pour over the baked brownie and place in refrigerator to set.

I prefer:
- 2 parts ground beef
- 1 part ground chicken or turkey
- 1 egg yolk per TOTAL 1 lb ground meat
- 1/2 c breadcrumbs (the finer the better)
- salt, pepper, other herbs to taste
- [optional] - Worcestershire sauce or bbq sauce as desired
- [optional] - use shredded cheese and mix into the hamburger for a much better cheese flavor.

Using two separate ground meats provides a much for robust flavor. I still prefer a larger ratio of beef, but you can adjust that as needed.

Vegetarian (Possibly Vegan?) Pad Thai

This is probably blasphemy, but I like it anyway.

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons tamarind soup mix
3/4 cup water (boiling)
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil
8 ounces dried rice stick noodles , about 1/8 inch wide
1/4 teaspoon table salt
3 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)
1 medium shallot, minced (about 3 tablespoons)
6 tablespoons chopped unsalted roasted peanuts
5 medium scallions, green parts only, sliced thin on sharp bias
1 block extra firm tofu
1 large carrot, cut diagonally into slices about 1/8-1/4 of an inch in thickness.
1.5 cups broccoli florets (I use the frozen steam-bag ones, but it'd probably be better with fresh broccoli)
Lime wedges

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Freeze tofu, then thaw. Cut into pieces about the size of a domino. Sandwich between many paper towels, then top with a cutting board. Place weights on top to press out water. An hour or so? Some people press the water out before freezing, but I'm too lazy for that.

2. Mix tamarind soup mix in 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, cayenne, and 2 tablespoons oil into tamarind liquid and set aside.

3. After tofu is pressed, dip each piece into the tamarind liquid briefly.

4. Salt tofu lightly, then lightly fry in oil until the outsides are golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

5. Cover rice sticks with hot tap water in large bowl; soak until softened, pliable, and limp but not fully tender, about 20 minutes. Drain noodles and set aside.

6. Steam broccoli until it is about half-cooked, set aside.

7. In a heated skillet, add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and swirl to coat; add garlic and shallot, set skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until light golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add broccoli and carrots and cook for another minute. Add drained noodles and tofu; toss with two wooden spoons to combine. Pour soy sauce/tamarind mixture over noodles, increase heat to high, and cook, tossing constantly, until noodles are evenly coated. Add 1/4 cup peanuts, all but 1/4 cup scallions over noodles; continue to cook, tossing constantly, until noodles are tender, about 2 1/2 minutes (if not yet tender add 2 tablespoons water to skillet and continue to cook until tender).

8. Transfer noodles to serving platter, sprinkle with remaining scallions, 2 tablespoons peanuts, and cilantro; serve with lime wedges.

My old clock used to tell the time
and subdivide diurnity;
but now it's lost both hands and chime
and only tells eternity.

>>From experience, the person consuming said 'bowl of beef and cheese' doesn't really care so much about flavor as 'put in food shut up stomach don't care what'.

Not to start a conflict, but, then don't prepare this for those philistines. This is for those who actually have a palate.

I think that Asian recipes are fine thematically as vegetarian or vegan just because it fits the regions history and cuisine.

What if the recipes are sung? Or written in limerick?

There once was a pan full of onions,
Into which orzo and water were put-ins.
For 10 minutes or so,
It was heated on low,
Then some kale and some pesto made it num-ins.

Ok I suppose we could always talk about shoes. Or shopping? :)

>WHO WILL WATCH THE WATCHMEN?

I liked the comics more than the silver screen version. Partially because there was less blue manhood strutting around, and partially because I could skip some of the more inane navel gazing philosophy points.

Heh. I posted a vid of the vegan black metal chef doing pad thai then realized it had a naughty word, so I decided to post a video that has no intelligible words instead. Prisencolinensinainciusol ftw!
