oh an to add to the topic not of "oh god that's not food" my Mom, god love her, always sets aside leftover for me. Well her and my Dad BBQ'd burgers and they did a few too many, so over to my house four wonderful flame grilled patties did come. Except she put slices of processed cheese on each of them.
Now this is ok out of the gate, when you pull the burgers off the grill. Real cheese is preferable, but processed works in a pinch. Fast forward to two weeks later, after these patties have been cooled and sitting in my freezer, then thawed for delicious consumption.
I of course heat them up in the microwave, and the "cheese" just turns to liquid nothingness. I didn't know processed cheese could get anymore until I bit into these puppies. On an onion bun with toppings made it palatable, but my god. The "cheese" on it's own tasted like toothpaste. I called my mom and requested that if she ever did that again, don't bother with the "cheese"
TL;DR Processed cheese is a hideous amalgam of chemicals that don't survive like normal food does
I always add tabasco to my ramen. If we go out to eat ramen I usually get the とんとんめん (tontonmen) which can be pretty spicy depending on the shop. Spicy is good.
It's so funny how this is just becoming mainstream-popular, when it's been around for almost 30 years.
I've been putting rooster sauce in pizza, hamburgers, soups for years. It's great, and does just what a condiment is supposed to do... enhance and complement, rather than cover up.

The Times is a great paper, but it doesn't exactly have its finger on the pulse of the American public. That's what makes articles like that so much fun to read.

I have a rice cooker for the convenience of it.
put the water and rice into the thing, set the timer to start cooking an hour or so before I get home from work, and by the time I get home, boom. rice is done.
sometimes i add in frozen veggies or some spices and butter. But my rice is always perfectly cooked for dinner when I get home, or when I wake up in the morning to pack in my lunches for work. It's just... simpler that way. Also, I can experiment with things like tossing seafood and such into it.
one of the best dishes i ever made in my rice cooker was white rice, baby shrimps, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, shitake mushrooms, baby peas, baby corn, all cooked in a light chicken stock that i made.
so. good. and perfect for taking to work with me and impressing my coworkers with my use of chopsticks.
I tell you, they think i'm like a goddess now or something cause i can pick up a grain of rice with chopsticks.
and the answer to all the problems of the poor! Just think, all the worlds financial problems can be solved by birthing and trading sweet succulent babies as delicacies for the rich!

Have that Jonathan Swift fellow write your idea down posthaste! He's new but he's good.
You know, I'm sure it's not any better for me, but coming from a background where Krispy Kreme was about my only option, I'm really liking the less heavily glazed donut options available to me here.
I mean, I can't help but still like Krispy Kreme somewhat but I feel like I need to brush my teeth after one bite.

For god sakes people, some of us aren't that good at timing when we cook. A rice cooker allows you to not have to worry about fucking up a pot of rice whilst prepping whatever other dishes you have in your meal, and boy have I fucked up rice before. I like to have my prepped in under an hour, and since I'm not super-chef like some hear are making themselves sound like I like all the help I can get.

I don't think I will ever get the appeal of Krispy Kreme. It just tastes like very, very fluffy sugar to me, almost like cotton candy baked in butter or something.
i like my donuts with maple and bacon on top from voodoo
omg. My friend and I went to a programming conference in Portland last year and made sure to stop by Voodoo Doughnut:
(his pic, not mine)
The Maple Bacon Bar is far, far better than it has any right to be. It's probably a good thing that I don't live in Portland, cause those would be hard to resist.
I had the Oreo doughnut on the left, which was also fantastic.

If "boil rice in water, turn heat to low, set timer for ~25 minutes" is too hard, the kitchen might not be a place for you. There's nothing wrong with rice cookers but people are making cooking rice out to be a herculean task.

No. Some people here are trying to say that there is absolutely no good reason to use a rice cooker, and if you do you somehow don't know how to cook. Which is bullshit.
Convenience is a damn good reason to own and use one.

There's convenience and then there's a prop on The Jetsons, a world where pushing buttons gets you a meatloaf and Jane Jetson still complains she slaved away in the kitchen. A rice cooker belongs in the Jetsons' kitchen.
I had a great idea for an alcoholic drink - one part vodka, two parts sugar. I think it'd be a big hit with the kids. What do you all think? Can it be food?
Bacon-infused? Nah, that's just bacon filled. Or even just waffle-wrapped bacon. And if you want to cram a whole piece of bacon in your mouth, you have to cram a whole waffle in your mouth too.

I'm not fat.
EDIT: I'm big boned.
From the stress of the fat on your skeleton?

You have to get 'em hot. Hot they're amazing, cold they're... less than impressive.

Bacon-infused waffles.
Also, I like the vodka idea. You can't hook kids soon enough.
Is this proof that Man has surpassed the Almighty Creator? Have our works yet become divine?
No really, if God ate waffles, he'd eat those.
This is a problem?
I LOVE IT!

That's what "This Is Why You're Fat" called it. I'm just reposting.
You, sir, are a communist.
That's probably the best looking thing to show up on 'this is why you're fat.'.
What about your avatar of a hamster sandwiched between two pancakes? Looks equally tasty if you ask me.
