I think I made those for a geography class once, years ago. They were delicious. Maybe I'll make them again.

[Reudh]

Just note, they are ANZAC BISCUITS, not cookies. It is a criminal offence to sell ANZAC "cookies" in Aus and NZ, not even joking.

Oh, also, I'm hosting a BBQ tomorrow (which I believe Reudh might actually even be attending)... and the baking is off the chain. In addition to the meats we're asking others to bring, our current menu includes, but is not limited to;

2 choc pavlovas,
Lemon curd tart,
A couple of salads,
Jujeh (Persion saffron chicken) kebabs,
Another Iranian dish I can't remember,
Fresh baked pretzel bread rolls...

My house smells so good right now, I can't even.

You bet your sweet barbecue I am.

Egads, that sounds like a good time. We should do a north-midwest US food-meetup sometime.

I learned something important today.

Tomato puree is useless and should never be used as long as actual tomatoes are available.

[Osmosis Jones]

Canned tomatoes, by contrast, are amazing, and should be used anywhere in sauces where you aren't actually picking the tomatoes yourself.

Also, BBQ went well... but good lord, the number of dirty dishes in our kitchen right now :/

We ran out of plastic plates etc, and people ended up using the crockery ones

It was glorious. The jujeh was so good I felt like weeping, and then one of Osmo's friends cracked out some 12 year old scotch.

Yeah, Amir made the kebabs as well as brought the scotch. I like my housemates

Making a French onion soup. My eyes stung so badly after slicing the onions. I never want to so much as look at a fucking onion again.

[Orange Wizard]

Vinegar helps with onion tears. Just waft it around your face.

[flame99]

Fuck me. I just fucking wasted an hour and about $20 worth of ingredients, and endured pain that felt like my eyes were going to explode for the next fucking half hour, and for what? For a shitty soup that almost made me vomit?

Seriously, the French onion soup was so fucking burnt. It was probably the worst thing I've ever tasted. I poured it out. God DAMMIT!

Lab goggles are pretty cool for chopping onions.

Lab goggles are pretty cool.

FTFY.

If you have a large flat container, put the chopping board underwater and slice there!

Considering the sort of things I've been handling when I have needed to use sealed goggles... the idea of using them in the kitchen is terrifying.

I have a spare set I use for the kitchen anyway. Not gonna use the same pair that I've taken into wet-labs.

I have contrived to combine three of my favourite flavours: coffee, chocolate, and mint. This is the best cuppa I've had in quite a while.
