Oh my.
Skins's island is s-o-o-o-o-o-o boring today I decided to wander over to see what seditious activities the cooking and baking primitives are brewing.
It's dead. The cooking and baking forum is withering away right before one's eyes.
And it's not going to help that the cbayer primitive is abandoning ship and going onshore for a while.
First up, dear old sweet lazy Lu, who never tells what she's fixing bewhiskered overalled Bill, he with the face of a Pennsylvania Dutch farmer, for supper:

6. i've never used yam in my beef stew
i'm going to have to give it a try
<<<takes yams and sweet potatoes and tosses them out into the gardens to rot and decay and fertilize the soil for sensible stuff.

10. Me neither.
Realized I was out of carrots so added a good bit for something orange. We'll see, smells good so far.

7. chili and cornbread
not sure if it will be beef or just beans yet, depends on my sister. i'll throw some diced jalapeno and creamed corn into the cornbread and bake it in the skillet with bacon fat.
i'm also doing a flourless chocolate cake for dessert.

9. Oven-baked barbecued baby back ribs.
Baked potato and sliced tomato.
Last evening--not this evening, but Saturday evening--the femme and I went again to the bar in town for supper. Yashoda, the head chef at the country club in the big city was cooking; apparently Swede and his wife are on vacation or a second honeymoon (the whole deal was explained to me, but I didn't catch it), and Yashoda has been filling in nights he doesn't have to work in his regular job.
Yashoda's kind of unusual; obviously of Nipponese derivation, his specialty is German dishes.
He's pretty short, and bows into an upside-down "L" shape when greeting people.
He wear a pince-nez, and when he cooks at the bar, rubber galoshes that are never buckled. He'd like to wear them at the country club too, because he says they help his feet, but the board members insist he can't; he has to look as what he is, a graduate of some distinguished culinary college in Malta.
I had my usual, a hamburger well-done, pressed down hard on the grill so as to squeeze out every drop of grease; the femme had Yashoda's famous saumagen, gequellde mit weißem kees, zwiebelkuchen, and for dessert, pfefferkuchen.

I bet they're lining up at your front door. :rofl:
If I'm going to bake sweet potatoes, I'm adding bacon. It's the only way to eat them.

What in the hell is a nut and seed patty? Is it one of those things for birds where the nuts and seeds are compressed into a hard disk?

You got me.
Maybe the nuts and seeds are held together by tofu?

It's about as close as one can get to eating something that looks like vomit.

That's what it sounds like. I made the mistake of order the "vegetarian" burger at the commissary when I worked for Ford. It was mostly beans and nuts (probably quinoa, which is popular now). It was awful... never ordered it again. It was like eating a burger made from hominy.
I've had ONE good vegetarian hamburger in my life. There was a head shop on the west side of town with a restaurant attached to it that has long disappeared... the burger was homemade and I've never found anything that good as a replacement. If anyone catches the Hawaiian episode of 'Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives', the girl on the show makes a pretty reasonable vegetable patty. I'm tempted to give it a shot.

Thanks.
I bet you still could get them to eat the compressed bird seed thing that I was talking about if you called it some French sounding name like: tourteau de graines d'oiseaux.

Of course it is.
DUmmy livetohike threw that in, hoping to get a mention here.
Likewise the moonbat claiming to put sweet potato in a beef stew.
They know there's a good chance of being noticed among the hateful old crones in the cooking forum.

It isn't a DUmmie food thread without kale being included.
-
Kale sounds like a great way to ruin beef stew. WTF?

That and the sweet potatoes. I even limit the carrots I use in mine because of the sugar content in them.

I don't like overly-sweet dishes. If you cooked them long enough, the yams would break down and turn into a thickener... they don't take long to overcook.
-
I like fresh Kale. Just don't want it in my beef stew. Of course I'm weird... I like spinach too... just not in my beef stew. Only thing I like in my beef stew is beef, taters, some onions and carrots.
I swear the dummies could screw up a wet dream.
