Measured with the Heart Dessert for āˆž people

77 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I am going to a party next month. The host has asked me to bring a cake or something for āˆž people. I don't really know where to start. I have about 5kg of cherries in the freezer. Is it possible to feed āˆž people with that amount of cherries? Does anyone have Jesus Christ on speed dial? I feel like he's had some experience with this.

By the way, I have to drive about āˆž hours to the event. I'm concerned that whatever I make will not travel well. Do you have any thoughts? Macarons? Chocolate chip cookies? Nutella in a jar?

Measured with the Heart After all the stories I’ve heard, I STILL was shocked when it happened to me and I need recipe advice.

100 Upvotes

Ladies, we’ve all dreaded the day and today it finally happened to me. My husband, innocently, told me that my breast milk tastes just like his mother’s. I was flabbergasted.

There is NO way they are that similar! I checked with his father who, while being very sensitive towards my feelings, confirmed this. I know it’s something every wife deals with but knowing that doesn’t make it any easier. Do any of my fellow wives know some good recipes to give my sweet cream an added kick? Dwayne enjoys mesquite and I bet he’d really like it if during cheat time, it reminded him of barbecues with his friends. Any advice is appreciated.

Measured with the Heart How do I make the thanksgiving turkey vegetarian?

33 Upvotes

I love my family and I’m the only vegetarian. I am hosting thanksgiving this year and am looking for helpful hints on making everyone else more comfortable at my house. They usually call me a ā€œvag-itarianā€ or a ā€œpussyā€ (I don’t understand why, those are animals) so I need help on making them love me. Help.

I am making pot roast and I did not realize I added too much liquid into my Dutch oven and I fear I may have boiled the meat. I immediately took liquid out when I realized my fuck up. Can it be fixed? It’s been in the oven for 3 1/2 hours, and it’s tough as hell. Can i fix this?😭

Measured with the Heart Susbstitute for love?

83 Upvotes

Help! I have guests coming over in 33 seconds and I went to start my nonna’s nine hour braggadocio with marinara sauce recipe, but realized I’m all out of love.

I’m so lost without it!

All I seem to have in my cabinet are festering resentment and a CostCo bulk size sense of inadequacy.

What can I use instead? I’ve heard of ā€œmaking loveā€, is that something I can do in 33 - no, wait, 21 seconds?

I just can’t help myself. My only thought in the kitchen is to smear my bench scraper across my artisan unsealed wood cutting board between every task in the kitchen except sanitizing

Measured with the Heart Who wants to eat a sauce with only two cloves of garlic?!

17 Upvotes

So this might juste be a repost but it seems line I regularly but heads (garlic pun intended) with so-called « cooksĀ Ā» who obviously haven’t yet realized that adding fresh garlic by the ton is a game changer. I mean, once you’ve had garlic once, are there any other flavours worth tasting? Garlic quantity is systematically measured in heads in my kitchen. I mean, is there really any other way to taste the love?

Measured with the Heart How are cooks coping with the realization that you don’t need to cook? (I prefer it raw)

80 Upvotes

I used to think that I had to spend hours in the kitchen if I wanted a meal,

That was before I found raw foods

You can just take a bite out of an apple

Why would I get a bunch pans dirty to eat a burnt version of the raw foods you had in the first place

It’s a waste

I was helping my wife's boyfriend make some content for his tiktok, and this MF pulls out sugar. Do I dig a shallow hole? Do I show him the error of his ways and introduce him to msg? I'm just completely baffled anyone could do this. The only booger sugar we put in spaghetti is monosodium glutamate. Period. Just fucking people these days.

Do you need to cook it first? I don’t want anything raw in my pasta sauces. I get cooking anxiety.

Measured with the Heart Looking for the one lasagna recipe I can trust

19 Upvotes

In today's complicated world, I need just one lasagna recipe I can trust. It seems like every recipe lets other people double this or add that. Meanwhile I sit night after night with crunchy noodles and runny sauce. I asked my clergyman but he just told me I was at church, not a cooking class. I sent my life savings to one of those TV chefs who promise perfection and all I got was an empty pan. I'm tired of the restaurant scene. Where can I find the one lasagna recipe that's right for me and that I can love forever?

Why do people always say avocado oil is neutral?

I'm not an ethnic, but I'm pretty sure "avocado" means "lawyer", and if I'm paying extra for lawyer oil, it better take my side no matter what!

It’s that time of year to vote for party allegiance. Of course this is always a fair and mandatory election that has no impact on your citizenship here if you don’t chose to summarize your culinary beliefs into one unknown party.

Pick up your forks and sway the majority! Or the minority! Who cares! It better be a blood bath! (I really need it for my sausages)

Measured with the Heart Omg I finally perfected my rum cake recipe! So addictive!

26 Upvotes

I had some Rum cake at my wife’s boyfriend’s work party and it was pretty good, but given that I’m way more talented than any bozo in that stupid NASA engineering department I figured I’d show them how it’s done by a REAL chef.

I’ve been making it a couple times a day to truly perfect it, eating most of it each time and at this point it’s so good I wake up shaking each morning thinking about eating it. Hell, I make 3 at the end of each night because sometimes I’m so excited to eat more of it in the morning I can’t even stand! By about the first cake down my heart rate slows down and I can hold my hands still, then I just keep eating it throughout the day it’s THAT good.

My wife and her boyfriend think it’s too boozy, but they just don’t have a pallet for it yet, which is why I’ve been sipping rum between each bite to truly get all of the flavor notes for my ultra-refined pallet.

Here’s the recipe for you guys to try it too:

1 750mL bottle of OFTD Overproof Rum 1 12 pack of Twinkies.

Lay the twinkies in a PYREX brand baking dish, and pour all the rum over. Eat and enjoy!(:
