My attempt at cooking tacos could be considered a qualified success. The tortillas came out of the oil a little too crispy to easily bend into a taco shape (note to self: next time, use a lower temperature). On the bright side, I have tostadas instead! \o/

The trick is to bend them in the oil. At the restrain i used to work at we made tortilla bowls, you submerged them using a ladle, but the sides float up because they want to float on the oil. So maybe a flatter spoon or something? Just make sure it has a long handle.

I was just using a little bit of oil in a pan. Not nearly enough to make the sides float up into a taco shape

You could also try brushing them with oil, then hanging them in your oven over a pan - drape them over two wires in the rack so that they hang down on either side. So they're basically upside-down, but otherwise the shape you're looking for.

I want a deep fryer so bad. When I get one, I'll have chicken wings all day erry day.

23 pence curry sauce is surprisingly good.

All-steel sieve/colander plus pot it fits in equals poor man's deep fryer. No need to wait! Also, checking the oil temperature is for the weak. 

I have discovered that making generic savoury mince with onions, adding curry powder (I know, I know. I've now got all the spices, I just need time to figure it all out), and then adding mostly-cooked rice and milk makes a very nice rich creamy curry. Omnomnom.

Chicken wings are completely feasible in a pan or a pot. I've done it several times.

Throw in some shredded cheese, pickles, and thousand island dressing. Trust me on this one. Cheeseburger curry is disturbingly good.

I believe this comic is relevant.



I went through a phase of this recently. Gained a lot more weight than I thought I would ever gain before deciding maybe all the greasy, salty, fatty, fried stuff is probably not the best of ideas.

So, there are popcorn chips, like corn chip/popcorn hybrid. They're quite good.

Well, yeah, I know. I could bake them, too, but hey.

[penguinofhonor]

Yeah, but they taste way better deep fried.

I'm now sufficiently convinced by this thread that this weekend shall be cheeseburger curry weekend.

Pff, milk is for putting in your finished oatmeal, not for cooking it you silly person you.

The best oatmeal is with walnuts, a sliced apple and a sliced banana. Seasoned with cinnamon and eaten with milk. Source: Every breakfast for the last half year :p
