It is! Just search. People talk about food here, sometimes with recipes, sometimes not.

The local Asian grocery didn't have dumpling skins, so I thought I'd try making my own using some recipe off the internet. Somehow I misjudged the amount of water needed, which means I had batter instead of dough. Ended up toasting flatbreads in a pan, instead of making dumplings.

Tasty mistakes, what would I do without you.

Seems my moms enchilada recipe is very popular among more than just my family.
She shared it with my GF and when she made it her family gobbled the things down like it was their last meal, her aunt and father ate 6 of these things each.

I'll support that.

I'll see if I can find it.

Though I'm not sure if I'm allowed to disclose the guacamole and salsa recipes (ok maybe the salsa but the guacamole is a secret)

So I made some oatmeal cookies.

But instead of the chewy goodness that I usually expect from oatmeal cookies in general, they came out brittle and crumbly. As this is my second batch of cookies ever (first were the peanutbutter ones) I'm not sure how to improve them.

Any ideas? (Note: I don't use eggs)

Syrup? I think I've heard that adding some can help.

Cookies are supposed to be brittle and crumbly, you reactionary bourgeois mockery of a cook, it's what makes them so good! It's what makes them proper! It's what makes them Soviet!

I'm no expert, but I do know that the egg would be a binder (I'm pretty sure? That's usually it's job), so that would explain the crumbly, but not necessarily the dry/brittle part? Some oatmeal cookie recipes are for crunchier cookies, so you may need to find a new recipe for moister cookies, unless you're up for some kitchen experimentation. As for substitute binders,  I've heard good things about banana, or I believe apple sauce? Actually, that may solve your moisture problems too.

Edit: Ah, yes, googling suggests that any high pectin fruit should do. Makes sense. Banana is easiest, as it's already mushy.

In Soviet Russia, cookie crumbles you?

I am so inspired by this. I am with you, comrade!

I keep mixing oyster sauce into things. Burgers? Mix some sauce on that meat. Soup? Pour that shit in. Those round steamed dumplings I don't know the English of? Into the meat.

Yesterday I cooked a lot!

Spoiler: fried chicken/pickles (click to show/hide)

I charred the chicken breading on the chicken a little, and one piece was a little tough, but the rest were delicious. I put lime juice and pepper on them, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to eat wings.

The fried pickles were really good. I lowered the heat a little too much for one batch so they were a little light, but they tasted the same. The breading was gluten free so my roommate could eat it, and because of that I learned cornmeal makes really good breading.

Temperature is proving to be the trickiest part of frying. I think need a cooking thermometer.

I also made baked apples in my crock pot, which were delicious.

cornmeal makes really good hush puppies, that is its true calling.
