.....I'm pretty sure discussing how-to's on hallucinogenics is skirting the edge of the forum rules. 

Wait... I took a hallucinogen?
Oh shit that explains alot

Fukken saved

Seriously though, if you're talking about the San Pedro cactus, it's a source of mescaline and the process you're describing is probably a twinge illegal in the US. I don't really care, but the Toad might.

Some sort of curry thing. It was only supposed to be mildly spicy. MILDLY~! I'm not very good with spicy things but I thought this would be okay with yogurt, but it isn't. ALL I CAN TASTE IS PAIN.

That's not a cooking failure, that's an overload of success.

What a fuckin' legend. Also consider me jealous. I ran out of mana months ago.

I made Banana Icecream.
Theres a stage where the liquid mix goes kinda greyish..
Anyway next time im going to make a caramel sauce and finely chop some dried Banana and swirl it in.
Cooking with !!science!! is fun.

I also just taught myself how to make hard boiled egg sandwiches. Yes yes yes.
I am loading up on this all the time now.
I know a guy who gets me cheap eggs.
Pretty dodgy stuff. We meet in a dark allyway and I always hear clucking from the trunk of his car

Sad, weird heirloom tomato from the garden. What to do with you?

Spoiler: Note: The breed is supposed to look like this, except for the split. That's from getting too much water and growing too fast. (click to show/hide)

After cutting away the bad bits, it's actually a really tasty tomato. Can't help but taste a bit of lemon? Saved the seeds for next year!

Spoiler: Experimental Breakfast Bowl time? (click to show/hide)

Nothing fancy really, just Scrambled Eggs, Yellow and Red Tomato, Mozzarella, and some Balsamic Vinegar. Thanks to the folks who gave suggestions!

Did some vinegret, then decided to go decadent mode and fried some weird purple onions  and garlic in olive oil and lemon juice and did throw some himalayan pink salt on them. After adding this to vinegret it became fabulous.

A quick note on red cabbage:

No. Just no.

It tastes so good at the time. Then the leftovers go into the fridge. If your dish is soupy at all, the color leeches from the cabbage and makes the whole thing look like the rotten food scene from Bastille's Bad Blood the next day.

Caramel and chocolate, as you all know can be a great help during rough times, this is my favourite brownie recipe that every one I feed it to asks for more.
So lets share it, in metric

Pre heat oven to 180degrees°C
For the caramel
55g butter
1 tablespoon/15g of golden syrup or mollases
3/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk
Melt the caramel ingredients and set aside in a jug for later.
For the brownie
150g butter and dark chocolate (70% is good)
1 1/2 Cup of sugar
3 eggs, 1/4 cup cocoa, 3/4 cup flour and seeds of a vanila pod.
Melt the butter and sugar together then put in chocolate, remove from heat and whisk the eggs in one at a time. Then fold in the dry ingredients.

You can bake it two ways.
You can sandwich the caramel in the middle or you can swirl it into it. I prefer the swirl but sandwich looks nicer.
Bake for 30mins and then try not to eat it all

you can add some 'oil' when melting the butter to add to the dopamine hit

Well now you know why a LOT of recipes (I hesitate to say "most") are ENTIRELY based around using spoiled or stale food.

Gonna go try this later.
Do you just melt the caramel ingredients together, or do you have to like, boil them a little? Also how essential is the golden syrup? (I don't even know what golden syrup is.)

[Catmeat]

Yeah from memory you get it bubbling
Golden syrup or light treacle is a thick, amber-coloured form of inverted sugar syrup made in the process of refining sugar cane or sugar beet juice into sugar, or by treatment of a sugar solution with acid.
Straight from wiki
Tbh the type of caramel might not matter as long as its tasty and pourable.
Tell me us how it comes out if you make it.

[Arx]

Golden syrup is basically city honey. You could probably substitute brown sugar if necessary.

[Yoink]

Argh, mildly on-topic: My housemates are cooking cupcakes and I can smell them from my room. 
I might have to actually, you know, go out there and ask for one. >.>

[Avis-Mergulus]

Okay, I made some golden syrup! Currently fighting the temptation to eat it because the recipe said I should live it alone for a few days.

[Arx]

Nice, nice.

My brother and I spent much of today being crazy in the kitchen in honour of our sister's birthday. This yielded

a fridge tart (mix butter and biscuit crumbs until slightly coherent; line pie dish with the mix. Pour jelly made with half water and the remaining half tined fruit and condensed milk into lined dish. Chill.),

a traditional potato salad (cook cubed potato, cool; whilst cooling, mix mayonaisse, a minced onion, and a small handful of minced mint and rosemary; mix with potato),

and a fairly delicious chicken and feta salad (poach chicken with sweet basil, thyme, parsley, salt; make regular Greek salad, dress with yoghurt/sour cream/mayonaisse with the above herbs and crumbled feta).

We managed to resist the temptation to put food colourant into any of this.
