Serious Eats: arielg's Profile

I'm big time anti-sharing. My boyfriends family is very pro-sharing. They always want to order everything and share it all, and then I end up only getting a few bites of what I wanted. If I wanted what they were ordering I would have ordered it myself. What is also really annoying is that I always go home with leftovers - I just can never finish anything, so I always have lunch for the next day - but when everybody's sharing, there's never any leftover and I end up paying for but not eating a whole meal.

that being said, I always share bites with the boyfriend, but never like 1/2 of mine, 1/2 of his type thing.

Study finds: Organic food is no healthier than conventional

@mbhebert - you do know that if cows were fed what their bodies are made to eat (that green stuff that grows on the ground, I'm pretty sure it's called grass) instead of basically indigestible corn (how does your fecal matter look after eating it?) that they would produce a lot less methane, right???

Wedding gift ideas-Foodie up to 100 bucks

A good chef's knife and a lodge dutch oven (my 6 or 7 quart was ~$50) with really good oven mitts (my oven mitts suck and I'm always getting burnt)

Worst cooking experience ever?

I have a bad habit of forgetting to include crucial ingredients: forgot to put flour in chocolate chip cookies, forgot to put sugar in cheesecake.

I try to make things all the time using the excuse, "I read it online, it looks so good!" My BF is starting (hah) to think I'm crazy. I tried to make gnudi (supposed to be like ravioli without the pasta or something) while we were on vacation, it was horrid. Ordered pizza that night.

I tried to make cheddar broccoli soup once using a recipe that called fo gruyere instead of cheddar, but whatever, it's cheese. Tasted eh, added some more cheese and it tasted better but still wasn't quite there. So we decided to add A LOT more cheese. The cheese and the bits of broccoli congealed together on the bottom of the pot. It was disgusting. BF said he liked it while he was suffering through eating it, I ordered a pizza.

@lo82070-- I have also put the lid of the fry daddy on while it was way too hot = tons of melted plastic, yum!

Oral Surgery - What the heck do I eat?

when I had all four impacted wisdom teeth out, I had a lot of Bolthouse Farms protein drinks (the white one is really good - I think it's chai flavored) - they have something like 40 grams of protein, and subsequently made me feel full.
I had a ton of milkshakes/smoothies that week, applesauce, etc.
my first "real" meal was spaghetti
