Question about bread.....
I found a recipe that calls for 6 cups of cubed bread. Where does one find cubed bread?

1. Buy a loaf of bread and cut it up.
It's easy and fast.

Would you suggest white bread for this recipe or not?

5. That's the cheap and easy way
but you can find dried, cubed bread in most supermarkets this time of year, waiting to go into turkeys.
Some varieties are seasoned and some are not.

God help them if they have to separate eggs. I can just picture them putting each whole egg in a separate place. :lmao:

I've always noticed, among the cooking and baking primitives, their inability to grasp the concept that one thing can have more than one use.
Multi-purpose cookery, such as pots and pans.
It just never seems to occur to the primitives, that one can use a pot or a pan for more than one thing.
When boasting of their cookery, or whining about their lack of space for cookery, the cooking and baking primitives have a habit of itemizing their utensils.
The primitives apparently keep one 2-quart pot for boiling beans, a second 2-quart pot for boiling corn, a third 2-quart pot for boiling peas, a fourth 2-quart pot for boiling rice, a fifth 2-quart pot for boiling carrots, a sixth 2-quart pot for boiling yams, a seventh 2-quart pot for boiling noodles, and so on.
It just never occurs to the primitives that an item can have more than one use--for example, a cookie sheet works for pizza just as well as for cookies, or a pie spatula works for cake just as well as for pie, or a butcher knife works for unsliced bread just as well as for meat.
The primitives just can't grab that concept, that things can have more than one use.

I certainly don't want to see these degenerates whip eggs either..

They probably are afraid of hurting the egg by whipping or beating it.
I like your sig line Pink Floyd is one of my favorite groups.

Some people just don't like their food to touch.
I believe most people don't like their food to touch, they just don't have the guts to admit it.

Now, I know you could point out something logical and reasonable about how peas and corn and yams aren't cooked in the same 2 quart pot at the same time but you're forgetting homeopathy. Also, prims take ideological purity to extreme levels.

I want to watch them cook a live lobster.
Actually, a few years ago, there was a primitive bonfire about cooking and dining upon a human afterbirth--but I don't recall if that was in the cooking and baking forum, or in General Discussion.

:lmao: I want to watch them cook a live lobster.
I do it all the time - I have a nice big steamer pot for those - this is the same as mine, without the lobster picture.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ECT8Y837L._SL500_AA280_.jpg)
Clams, mussels vegetables, and of course the lobsters go in the top, boiling water in the bottom. Oddly enough, this is the only specialized pot I use, mainly because of its size -- Its huge.
Anyway, cooking lobsters is easy if you know how - I get the pot steaming away first, while the lobsters are in the freezer going into partial hibernation - going from the cold to the hot steam kills them instantly, and keeps them from curling up. on the lobsters go the vegetables, then the clams and mussels on top. Once the clams are all opened, and the potatoes are soft, dinner is ready.
Edited to add :: I forgot the other meats ! Sausage, Hot dogs, and spicy Portuguese chourico end up in the pot as well.

Oh, I suspect if the whipping involves ball gags, leather hoods with zippers, and same-sex participants, its okay with them.
