that one time I got the crap kicked out of me by a bunch of Amish dudes.

WTH, how did that happen? I always thought the Amish weren't really big in the whole "kick the crap out of people" business?

Let's just say that I deserved it. If you really want to know, PM me.

I'm staying a friend's house for a week or so. I get bored? I raid my his kitchen and decide on making jello treats.

Spoiler: Jiggly Jiggly Jello! (click to show/hide)

The beginning looks suspiciously like a round of jello shots. I'm using an ice bath to semi-set the layers so they don't have to travel to the fridge constantly. And yes, that's eve online.



No whipped cream? That's fine. Melting (double-boiling) down some stale-ish marshmallows with coconut water. I can't really taste coconut in the finished product, but it's a clear liquid that adds some savory but complimentary flavor to the marshmallows.



Maraschinos loaded, cream ready.



Bad pic of the cream smothering everything.



Let set for a few hours, and ta-daa.



I didn't drain the cherries, so they bled a bit.

I also made an eerily smooth gif of it. Because, c'mon, who doesn't like jello jiggling.

[Sirus]

Mmmmm, Jello.

Oh, hey, the Baader-Meinhof effect; I had just been looking up kvass because I'm planning to study abroad in Estonia. How can I make it at home?

[penguinofhonor]

I need some jello now.

I found you a recipe. Never actually tried it myself, but it sounds feasible. You need:

Rye bread - 500 g
Sugar - 300 g
Yeast (fresh) - 15 g
Water (hot) - 5 L

First, cut up the bread and cook it in the oven until it's golden and crispy - the harder you roast it, the more bitter the resulting kvass will be. Then put the bread into a pot and pour 3 L of boiling water over it. Wait until it cools. Then strain the liquid somewhere for a while through a colander (keep it, I mean), and pour 2 more L of boiling water on top of the bread (which is probably now yucky as fuck, but that's life for you). Then drain the water again after an hour or so, pour all your 5 L of breadwater (heh heh) together into a jar, and stir in the sugar and yeast (make sure it's not "quick yeast" or something like that), and leave it for a night. All done. You can also add raisins or lemon slices with the yeast and sugar, and I heard black-currant leaves are also pretty nice. But the basics are here. You can use a gauze cloth and a colander to keep the bread yuck from contaminating your kvass.

EDIT: Judging by the comments, 300 g of sugar is a bit too much. Try 200 or 150.

Started a new job recently.  The office has a great kitchen, so I've been doing a bit of prep at home, then cooking meals there.

Pizza! It's not very pretty, but at least I didn't drop this one.

[Bauglir]

I'll agree that it's not pretty, if only so that I can say it's fucking gorgeous. What, did the last one radiate a shimmering aura of light that healed your wounds?

Yup. And then I dropped it on the floor topping side down, because fuck me, right? And thanks.

Man, some deliciousness in here over the past couple of pages.

Anyway. Guys.

Guys, help.

How do I crumpet?
I mean. I have crumpets.
But how do I crumpet?

[Sheb]

Toast them, then smother them in butter.
