Clearly the best pizza is the one served to you by an old fat guy named Ray

[flame99]

So, I recently made some homemade french fries.

The general method I used was cut potatoes into french fry-ish shapes, heated honestly probably too much vegetable oil in a pot, and waited for a bit. Then, I tossed in a loose bit of potatoes, and used whether or not it started bubbling as a guide as to whether it's ready. After that, I just (Very carefully) tossed the fries into the vegetable oil, and poked them with a plastic spoon until they were hard. Bam. Fries. Took ~5 minutes once I got the potatoes cut.

That's not how you do french fries!

Or alternatively, eaten cold from the fridge. I don't know why, but it just works.

Also this.

If I'm in the mood for hot pizza, I'll reheat it in a toaster oven (or regular oven if the smaller version is not available). Don't use a microwave, it just won't work.

Well that's how you do them in 'MURICA

But yes, I do realize that that's probably the worst way to go about it. However, no, I don't particularly care because they were delicious.

It's cold outside. Time for spiced tea. I just threw some cinnamon, nutmeg, and a little chili powder in with a standard cup of English tea with sugar and creamy soya powder (don't just, I'm lactose intolerant and don't use enough milk to justify the cost of buying liquid soya milk and throwing half of it away when it spoils). Perfection.

I'll have to remember that. It sounds delicious.
Too bad I'll have to remember it for six months until the end of the interminable summer...

It's a land of freedom, democracy, more freedom, right wing extremists, liberals, that random guy in the middle, and people who don't realize that white letters are near invisible on whiteish back grounds

The pumpkin ice cream was pretty damn good. Does taste like pumpkin pie. I did seriously overestimate the amount of pumpkin used, so I still have 4/5ths of the can left.

Chili powder? MAGNIFICENT

Confirmed today that this also works well with coffee, if you have a french press. Put the spices in with the coffee while it brews, then add sugar and cream/milk in the cup. Fantabulous. Clearly I have discovered the best winter drink.

I was actually thinking about that this morning- my only problem with my spiced tea was that the spice flavour was minimal, and I was thinking that using loose-leaf tea and a generous helping of spice would draw out the flavours better. It wasn't a great leap from there to thinking about brewing it with coffee.

And on another food note, I just finished a microwave brownie according to my third revision of the recipe, wherein I quarter the ingredients (yielding a brownie "only" the size of a teacup) but slightly increase oil and baking  powder. It was deliciously moist, yet light and fluffy. Nine out of ten, would devour again.

I'm hopelessly addicted to coffee nog. Half coffee, half eggnog, grate some fresh nutmeg on top. It cuts the vile gloopiness of the eggnog while adding milk and sugar to the coffee all at once. Truly it is the perfect form of both beverages.

The fact that I can only buy eggnog around Christmas is the only thing that's saved me thus far.

Protip: Add chipotle pepper and cinnamon.
