20. I've been making a lot of quiches

Homemade pie crust. Getting the crust right is always a victory.

Today, my Instacart shopper couldn't find Crisco at the store. The hoarding has started. Sigh. I prefer lard, but that wasn't an option on Instacart. I may make my next crust with all butter.

Dunno what quiche is, don't wanna know, don't wanna see it on my plate. Dummies like it that says all I need to know.  Someone put's it on my plate then there is gonna be an ass kicking.   :rotf:

5. Here is a great recipe for mash potatoes from Nigella Lawson:

Recipe for mashed taters?  Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?   It's freaking simple dummies... taters, butter and milk if you want it, all mashed together!!!  Why you got to go **** up a simple dish?  Ain't any wonder you unhappy.   :thatsright:

Um.....  :mental:

12. Mashed potatoes

with lots of butter are the best comfort food. I swear, there's a tranquilizer in there.

On edit: Try adding a bit of cauliflower to the cut up potatoes before boiling. The extra flavor is amazing.

Plus: my favorite comfort meal is mashed potatoes and a huge mound of my homegrown green beans, also with lots of butter. I don't need anything else to make a meal, but both piles must be large.

Another dummie ****ing up a simple great tasting dish  :argh:

19. That sounds delicious!

I love mashed potatoes... but I only make them from scratch at Thanksgiving. The rest of the year it's from the pouches (so many flavors and varieties to choose from!!)

Translation:  I only make them from scratch when my family comes and will say WTF is this?

28. Home made mashed potatoes, topped with lots of crispy bacon crumbles

Plus some cajun seasoning and melted cheese

Another dummie ****ing up a simple dish.... the cheese sounds good though.  And bacon?  Well you can't really go wrong with bacon... I ain't sure I want it on my mashed taters.  Might have to give this dummie a pass.

That's it for now.

Based on their dietary habits, massive diarrhea would be my guess.

One of my college professors told my class an anecdote about his ex-girlfriend's cooking. She told him that whenever she made mashed potatoes, they were always dry. Similarly, when she made cookies, they were always burnt.

Wonder what her DU name is.  :-)

Yeah, the trueblue primitive alleges she had a Hershey's chocolate bar, too.

Sure, sure.

What primitive, especially a hefty femme, could possibly eat more than one Hershey's chocolate bar?

Imagine an omelet pie, no top crust.  Now imagine it's cold, baked instead of fried, flavorless, needs salt, and some idiot chopped up a bunch of spinach into it when they cooked it.  I can choke it down if absolutely necessary to be a gracious guest, but that's the only reason I'll touch it.

THis is my recipe for boiled water.  It is amazeballs. You have to try it.

Woooow. 

Don't get me wrong...I love spinach... eat it twice a week in a dish by itself with a bunch of butter and vinegar on it.  I can even do with out the butter as long as I got the vinegar.

I damned sure don't freaking want spinach in anything else and I damned sure don't want it in my eggs.

You better than I am DAT.  Someone serves me that shit I say where's the beef?  I ain't gonna eat shit that I don't like, polite company be damned!  My 2 cents is if it don't taste good then one should not serve it.  If you served it and it sucks, then you need to know about it so you don't serve it again.   :cheersmate:

Woooow. 

Quiche is okay, but Tanker's reaction is the more-popular one.

I like it, but I seem to like a lot of things other people don't.

Quiche's reputation was established by a best-selling book that came out sometime early in the Reagan administration, Real Men Don't Eat Quiche.  I never read the book but it inspired me to try it out.  It was okay; not great, but okay.

on edit, although unrelated: please notice the temporary avatar, which is a photograph taken by the NJCher primitive of her allegedly wonderful stew or soup.  The small size of the picture doesn't do it justice; to most, it looks like recently disgorged vomit; to me, it looks like someone had a bad case of diarrhea.

There used to be a Greek breakfast and lunch place here and I always got their Feta cheese and spinach scrambled eggs for bfast.  It was a delicious combo.

Actually mashed potatoes the way the DUmbass prepared them is quite good. I've had them just that way, minus the cajun spices, and they were very good.

It's an app/website where you can do grocery shopping online and have it delivered to your home. It looks like it's pretty much country wide and one of the side effects of the pandemic.

OK.  I like Feta.  I like spinach.   I like eggs... scrambled or otherwise.  Don't mean I want them all together!   :-)

I damned sure do not want spinach in my eggs. 

I'm open to just about anything food wise so maybe it is good... I don't know.  Just don't sound like something I'm gonna grub on.

People got varied tastes.

My Dad was from Buffalo NY and scrambled eggs with onions, peppers, ham and pepperoni/salami is something they do up there.  It's pretty damned good.  I was always leary until one day I tried it.  It was delicious. 

But spinach?  I just don't know.
