Oh, I had the sense to take it out before it exploded in the microwave, trust me. Not till I bit into it did that fucker go off.

While I understand that this was no doubt a traumatic experience for you, I'm sorry, but I straight up burst out laughing at that imagery.

I second that emotion

Hey, I'm laughing too, it was pretty funny.

I have a mug of a blend of coffee, cocoa, and accidentally quite a lot of sugar. It is like drinking liquid pleasure. It tastes like liquid, hot, fresh chocolate pudding.

...now I want custard.

I just remembered how in winters my mum would roast almonds in a tinfoil bowl on top of the kerosene heater.
Ahhhh, 'merica.

"Almonds roasting on the camping stove" just doesn't have the same ring to it... On that note, has anyone actually roasted chestnuts on an open fire? Any good? or is it just a scent thing?

[Akura]

I imagine it would taste good. ...Now I want to try it to see. And where the hell can I get some pumpkin spice on short notice? I want some in my coffee, naow!

This time of year? Should be able to get it at most major grocery outlets.

It's also just a combination of common spices, so you could make it yourself.

Made Korean Beef last night (may or may not contain actual Korean). It is so delicious. Basically you cook ground beef or strips of steak (I'm cheap though) with diced garlic, diced ginger, and sesame oil, once browned stir in a tonne of brown sugar, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (I don't add the salt though, soy sauce is salty enough). Then just simmer it a few minutes. Serve on rice, add a veg if desired (I steamed broccoli). So delicious. It's a great sweet/spice/salt combo, and if you find it too much or little in either category, it's just one ingredient that needs increasing/decreasing (more/less soy sauce, pepper flakes, sugar).

I had a pound of ground beef that I needed to use today, so I searched this thread for "beef" and found this post. I looked up a recipe for specific measurements (decided on this one because green onions are awesome) and the result is delicious.

I used noodles instead of rice because I like noodles better. Next time I think I'm going to use fresh ginger.

Sub sammich time! Pepperoni, salami, provolone cheese, and spinach.

I found a recipe for pumpkin spice online a while back and have been using it successfully ever since. It's basically just ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, powdered ginger (not fresh - the taste is different), and ground allspice. Play around with it until you get the proportions you like, and laugh in the face of companies that would charge you loads of money to mix it for you.

I'm sure there are other recipes out there, with altered ingredients, but this one works fine for me.

I'll try to post actual recipes next time! Glad you liked that one, it's amazing isn't it? Also yes, fresh ginger makes a huge difference. That recipe looks quite close to the one I have written down.

No pumpkin at all? I am actually quite shocked. I have all of that in my spice cabinet in ludicrous quantities.

It might be that it's the spice FOR pumpkins, not OF them.

[timferius]

Ya, it's derived from common spices used for pumpkin baking. Like how Italian Seasoning isn't made of actual Italians, much to my disappointment.
