Foods for those that just don't care anymore

...that hurts my soul.  And my stomach.  And my arteries.

I cannot comprehend how that could be considered remotely desirable...not least of which is the sheer difficulty in trying to eat it.  The notion of a burger with Oreos is horrifying to me, but YMMV.  But that's, what, a pound of meat?  Those look like 1/3 pound patties, and appear to be 3 of em.  With multiple layers of Oreos, and all that drippy, gooey junk...?  YUCK.

I think this is a great option for a first date meal. It'll give you an idea just how much crazy your potential partner is willing to deal with.

I think it looks like a monster like the below, but made of things that go into mouths rather than mouths.

What if they order it?

Walk out.  Call an Uber or taxi if they drove you.

Yesterday in the Briefing, we grappled with the news that the most energy-efficient way to cook dried pasta is to rehydrate it in cold water for two hours before warming it in simmering water or sauce. Readers got in touch to tell me that low-heat cooking methods have long been popular among campers, and have been passed on through generations that lived through lean times. Several pointed to the original slow cookers: ‘hayboxes’, in which the pot is surrounded with insulation to keep it warm while the food cooks through. But a store-bought box is not required, writes reader Peter-Andreas Löschmann, who suggests “a procedure learned from my old aunt: bring the noodles just to boiling and place the hot cooking pot in your feather bed”. Mmm, cosy.

 

From the Nature briefing today.

Well, if your feather bed already holds hold eight kids, four hound dogs, and a piggy you'd stolen from the shed, what difference is a cooking pot going to make?

Looks like there's enough cheese on there for a dozen pizzas.

[unclevlad]

Nothing inherently wrong with that.  Just a fancy kind of cheese bread at that point.

 

(Granted, not my first choice, but far from my last choice too, especially if there's some sharp cheese like an asiago or sharp provolone, rather than all mild or neutral white cheeses.

[Cygnia]

4oz of Monterey Jack along the edge and 7oz of mozzarella on top, according to the recipe.  And I grated some Parmesan as well.

 

...we're feeling it today.

Hmm ... do we even have pickled beets at the house?  

[unclevlad]

Mr. P...take another look at that face, in the still.  

Maybe it's just me but anyone trying to smile like that at me, is pulling a fast one..............
