You are not allowed to ice carrot cake in any icing that is not cream cheese icing (I imagine cottage cheese is the same, as consistency is the only real difference between the two).

Spoiler: Behold! A stupidly simple cake-ish experiment that came out really really well. (click to show/hide)

My gf and I had the idea to make 'dessert pancakes' - so... why not just make one biiig mega pancake with a slightly sweet side?


Mix pancake batter as directed. Add some sugar & spices - I went light on the sugar but heavy on spice. Oh, we also put in some crumbled brownies, not pictured.

I then just tossed the batter in a large saucepan and set it to medium-low-low heat, covered(! I think this is important). When it was getting dangerously brown, I flipped it, then let it get close to dangerously brown on the other.



I don't know what I did, but the end result was this deliciously dense and moist cake. It's not overpoweringly sweet, and was complimented perfectly by a drizzle of honey. I love it.

Does anybody know what I could substitute veal with? There's a spaghetti and meat ball recipe that I've been looking at, but the meatballs call for veal, and since I'm broke, I'd prefer not to have to get veal.

Ground pork or chicken ought to do fine. You could use any meat and it will probably still be delicious - I can't think of a context where veal's mandatory, it's just a tender, rich meat with less beefy flavor to it.

Or beef, seeing that veal is just young tender beef..

What was that in the ladle, ghee?

[Rose]

Ghee and spices.

Ketchup + mayonnaise + mustard = incredibly tasty and cost-effective (well, depends) dip/sauce/gravy.

Seriously, it's amazing. I use it for sandwiches, wieners/sausages, I've eaten it in tortillas and yesterday my mom used it as a sauce for our pork. In fact I just finished eating two pieces left over.

Plus it has a nice color.

Well, I'll probably be cooking for my mother and sister for the next ~6 days, so I might as well post what I'm planning on making.
Tomorrow I'll probably be making spaghetti with meatballs and some garlic bread, recipe for the spaghetti/meatballs here, and I haven't decided on what recipe to use for garlic bread. The next day will probably be spicy chicken breasts, with a side dish of some sort that I haven't decided on. After that, I think we've agreed that I'll make chipotle mayonnaise sliders, with another side I haven't decided on yet.

Does anybody have any suggestions for side dishes for those, as well as recipes for the other days? The three of us aren't really particularly picky eaters, though my mother doesn't like spicy foods (The chicken breasts are honestly probably pushing it), and my sister can't stand potatoes for some insane reason, excluding fries. I did find a recipe for grilled peaches with cinnamon sugar that sounded good, but I can't think of anything it'd go well with.

Also, keep in mind that I haven't actually had any of these before, so they might be horrible recipes and I just don't know it yet.

EDIT: I think some potato salad might go well with the chicken.

Fixed, sorry.

Briefly, before I scrolled up, I hoped that you had changed it to 'mentlegen'.

Which reminds me, there is a Soviet-bloc dish directly inspired by kimchi using (fresh) carrots. It is delicious, but sadly not commercially available anywhere west of Ukraine, apparently, but it seems pretty easy to make at home.

It's shredded carrots, onion, garlic, black pepper, sugar (optional), salt, coriander, chilli, vinegar and cottonseed oil (or any other vegetable oil, if need be). I need to make it some time.

So, having returned home, I decided to go make it.

Spoiler: Phone-tier photo: (click to show/hide)

Results: OMFG SO GOOD. It's supposed to be refridgerated for a couple of hours before being served, but I can hardly resist the temptation right now. It doesn't look like much, it's simply shredded carrot with seasonings, but I WILL make more of it (once I buy a grate, because I had to borrow one from my neighbors because I could swear I had one left by the previous tenants).

E: Used THIS recipe, except I only used two carrots, although large, about 220 grams (7.75 oz), the rest as specified.

So I was making batter-fried potatoes and bread today, as you do, when I thought to myself "This is too healthy."

So I decided to fix that. I made batter-fried reeses peanutbutter cups.

Actually doesnt taste half bad. Not something I want to waste more chocolate on, though.

Too bad I don't have any cheese.
