My favorite drink by far is some nice, hot chocolate milk.

But, if I could buy any meal from McDonalds, I'd get a 20 piece chicken Mcnuggets, hash browns, shamrock shake, and large fries. With barbeque sauce.

Spoiler: I hath wrought a bread! (click to show/hide)

...Yeah, that ain't the world's most appetizing picture, but it was delicious.

I'unno, looks pretty good to me.

I'd certainly be happy to wolf it down with a chunk of cheese and some boiled eggs.

[Avis-Mergulus]

I ate some with butter; the rest was devoured by a flock of screeching relatives before it could cool. And they've got me making another one now, which means it was sort of successful.

This, with the caveat that it looks a bit like a fat baguette. Which, not a bad thing.

Dayum, freshly baked bread is the best. My parents had a bread machine and we'd have fresh homemade bread every morning, but I think it broke eventually and they weren't making it too often then, so they didn't get a new one.

My parents also have a bread machine, but the bread that comes out of it is rather sub-par in my opinion.

After listening to Northernlion defending salads in a "salads vs pizza" monologue in one of his recent Binding of Isaac episodes, I could really eat a salad lately... (I never saw them as a bad thing, mind you.)
If only I had something to make a salad out of in my house. Should probably go out and try to find something. Any suggestions/ideas/complete recipes, even if very rough?

[Bohandas]

Romaine + diced cheddar + ranch dressing

[Sirus]

Romaine + shredded parmesan + grilled chicken. Add caeser dressing if you must, but it's perfectly fine on its own.

My standard salad is romaine lettuce, cucumber, red bell or capie pepper, sliced mushroom, a small amount of minced red onion, grated carrot, and if I have it on hand, some shredded fresh basil (dried basil can be nice too but it's a very different flavor). Add olive oil and some black pepper and mix it up, then let it sit for five minutes or so so the onion flavor sinks through. Then add some balsamic vinegar and enjoy - and toast up a little bread on the side to make it more filling and soak up the last of the dressing. I've never been a fan of croutons, but a little bread can take a nice big salad and turn it into a meal. I also recommend adding some cheese, but it has to be a good kind of cheese to match the flavors. Mild cheddar can work nicely, or goat cheese if you like that. In Prague they have "Balkan cheese" which I *think* is a type of goat cheese, but quite salty, and you can buy it flavored with things like red peppers and garlic. Mmmmmmmm.

By the way, friends, I've been deported from Prague and am hanging out in Scotland until they let me go back (up to 3 months). Any advice on food here? There is certainly a lot of fried, um, everything. Anything else I should watch for and enjoy? I have access to quite a nice kitchen at my friend's apartment where I'm staying, so I can cook. What can I get here that I won't be able to get when I get back home?

Picked up a box of instant oatmeal and canned strawberries cheap. Was pretty good together. I shall enjoy breakfast this week.

[GiglameshDespair]

Garlic: poop or worse than poop?

A: Even worse.


In other news, I'm making some sausages tomorrow. Currently soaking the sausage skins - you have to do it for 24 hours beforehand, apparently. They look like a pile of tapeworms at the moment.

I have two pounds of pork shoulder to shove into the machine and I'll see what other things I have to add to them as well.

[Sirus]

GiglameshDespair confirmed for vampire.

GiglameshDespair confirmed for vampire.

WHHHHY did I think that was because of the sausage and not the garlic?

[Arx]

Don't worry, I did it too. I was trying to work out if it was related to the tapeworm thing.
