my stomach has been such a moody weirdo these last few days
I just had pasta for lunch, which is already more carbs than i should be ingesting at midday if I want to get anything done in the afternoon, and I was stuffed. I swear! I was what we in the biz call "overly full!"
but now my stomach is like "hey you know what would be really good
like really good
like, I'm just letting you know that if you don't gimme this I'm gonna complain all afternoon
you ready?
Long time lurker hi. Not bad food but starting to really cook again to take my mind off things. Homemade split pea, onion, carrot and ham soup. Grilled cheese is ricotta, shredded cheddar, provolone and spices/herbs. Some shredded parmesan and dried herbs topping the soup.

why??? WHY DO YOU WANT A BAGEL???!
That's the problem with carbs, they always make you want more carbs.
I like watermelon flavor a lot, in candy and such, but fresh watermelon is an absolute no-go, as is cucumber
I've a friend like this, he hates cucumber and thinks watermelon just tastes of cucumber.
Alas, we're in the UK where at best watermelons are sweet-ish and at worse they're tasteless, so it's hard to change that. They also brand bowling ball sized fruit as "giant watermelon", so, you know.

I’m the opposite. I like fresh watermelon but hate watermelon-flavored everything.

Yeah, put me down as another who likes the concentrated/artificial/sugar-added flavor, and doesn't care for stuff that's basically "water with texture".
I'll just be over here trying to figure out what macarons have to do with nutmeg.
I'm not sure there's any kind of baking you can't find a use for nutmeg in.
hello, the 18th century called
I was going to post a clip from the Pinky and the Brain episode where they dump an entire barrel of nutmeg on a giant crepes suzette and blow up Napoleon's palace. But apparently nobody ever clipped that, and I didn't want to link to full episodes on dailymotion.

Fuck, looks like the last version of me to go grocery shopping was the clean-eating one.
It’s 9.30 at night and all I want is a brown butter chocolate chunk cookie why is there no such thing in my immediate vicinity.

I find it's a lot easier when the answer to the question is "I decided to bake something else last weekend".
I can't believe how hard it's been to find some damned pumpkin lately. Was a fresh loaf of homemade pumpkin bread really asking for that much?
Carbohydrates are sugar, what the fuck did they expect?
Also brioche has an assload of actual sugar in it, and it is definitely bread. Not defending Subway at all here, I think their bread is fucking disgusting, but it is still bread.

yeah it's a bit misleading on the headline and people are getting really giddy about it because "lol did you hear subway doesn't actually serve bread lol I'm clever"
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
The law states that for bread to be considered a “staple product” and not attract VAT, it “shall not exceed 2% of the weight of flour included in the dough”. Subway’s bread has a 10% ratio.
Eff me...

It's actually not that unusual. As Pinf said, brioche has an even higher ratio of sugar as one example. If you want mega fluffy bread a good way to do that is feed the everliving fuck out of some yeast.

Their bread is bad though it smells and tastes like a yoga mat that's been left in a shed out back all summer.
Do they not make it fresh in-store? They do here in Australia, and whilst no, their bread is most definitely NOT artisanal, it's perfectly fine for a fast-food sub.

I don't actually know, the smell inside Subway literally makes me nauseous for some reason (I don't know, either, it's not like their food is rotting) so I spend almost no time in there.

They bake the loaves in store in the US, but the raw dough is made by commercial bakery suppliers
and shipped to the stores.
I've only had subway in Australia and the bread was horrible but yeah this is about what counts as a necessity for tax purposes, not a particular call out wrt to sugar content
That said
- American supermarket bread is too sweet, get your shit together
- subway might have less sugar than brioche but it also does not claim to be brioche so it's not really comparable
- it's pretty inedible regardless of what you call it

Me?
If so thank you, still love cooking but took some time off. Again "bad" food but recalibrating.
Potato pancakes, BBQ rib meat, pickled veg, pancakes topped with sour cream green onion an cilantro.
Green beans, carrots, mushroom, onion, red chili flakes and pork cutlets over rice. Deep fried pot stickers and store bought bao

With butter and cream cheese they are quite enjoyable.

It's weird, I have the opposite reaction.
Licorice tastes like death, but fennel seeds taste... like nothing in particular?

It's for tax reasons, not etymological reasons.
I'll make you a sandwich
a knuckle sandwich
512g flour, 105 g sugar (20.5%)
17.6 oz flour, 2.1 oz sugar (11.93% and has some honey as well)
Marie Antoinette maybe
Wonder bread and other store bought breads are probably 15-25% themselves.
