You must be getting it from the source. I suspect Devon, is a MasterChef as he told me he will devine the Devine Devon recipe, the next time he makes it.

This will be fun because I’ve only recently convinced Herself that recipes are guidelines, and now we will have to follow this one to the letter. Hoping it’s in metric as according to ChatGPT.

  1. Tablespoon:
  • In the US, one tablespoon is about 15 milliliters or three teaspoons.
  • In the UK, one tablespoon is roughly 17.7 milliliters, and in Australia, it’s 20 milliliters.
  1. Cup:
  • In the US, one cup is equal to approximately 240 milliliters.
  • In the UK, one cup is about 284 milliliters.
  • In Australia, one cup is typically considered as 250 milliliters.

Don’t get me talking about Pints. Australia still hasn’t figured out beer serving sizes!

Okay wait a second. I am starting to develop a psychological disorder here. :rofl: I appreciate the compliments but I AM NOT a master chef. Lets manage expectations right now. I am a good cook and a person who likes to have the experience of cooking and eating a wide and exotic variety of food. When you eat at my house you won’t spontaneously start farting unicorn dust, find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, or win PowerBall. You will likely get fat though.

Now this is sage advice. I use recipes and cook books to “learn” what spices, seasonings, and ingredients make up the distinct flavor profiles of regional and ethnic cuisine. After I feel I have a handle on what it takes to make something taste like particular type of food then the baking mitts come off and I start winging it. One of the reasons I can not just give Herself the recipe is that the recipe, along with any notion of proportion, are in my head.

#124

Ok, I’ll give you that, but you’re a damn good one. Is that better :grin:

#125

That’s better.In all honestly I feel like when people call me a “chef” of any kind that it is almost like stolen valor. As a vet I take that personally. I have two family members who are classically trained chefs who graduated from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Portland Oregon. Both have worked as chefs and one is on his way to being a head chef at his current place of employment. A chef is far more than a good cook. I am just a cook. I’ll accept that I am a good cook, but I am cook. . .a hobbyist. . .not a professional in the culinary field.

But I do appreciate the compliment. I sincerely do. Cooking for people and having them truly enjoy it is a great pleasure of mine.

#126

I can respect that. But you are a damn good cook. :grinning:

Herself, the Sue Chef, highly recommend this show. It’s probably only on VHS… 1993.

My dad used to refer to tapioca as fish eyes and glue.

What about Celebrity Chef? Would that be acceptable; less about the food more about the banter?

Dan, just wondering if youve tried the tapioca yet? :crazy_face:

(sticking to the thread and somehow, not)

#130

Tapioca, probably on my top five list of favorite desserts and one I have never personally made, either from scratch or even dry packaged. Always buy it pre made. But I love it. Its hard to make the call between homemade vanilla ice cream (even though it personally hates me), Creme Brule, cherry cheese cake, tapicoa, and Dutch apple pie.

We can call me whatever we want as long as its not late for dinner. As long as its in fun and we understand I dont claim to be a trained professional in the trade. I just love cooking. I am fat and I tell people you can only get that way if your wife can cook or you can cook. My wife can’t cook.

This recipe, I think, substituted milk for the TB1.
We might have to try this one anyway… Thermomix Machine for other Manly Activities

While I am a Elmers connoisseur (as a kid , got over that) I am pretty much the cook in the family, and while I am not as devoted to things like BD and “The Bully” I enjoy the playing with spices in my simple food .
Side not, there are a lot of Indian and Sikh truckers and some of the small truckstops have been purchased by them and has buffet style takeout food. It took a bit for me to ask one of the drivers there to guide me to something to start with and that added to my waistline and food I want to try more.

#133

This is an easy to make Indian recipe that is fantastic. We will have this and naan for dinner when I make it.

You presented a really Blah menu!!!
As in nothing, just what I can, perfect for me for today! Well now it finally shows up, making my post confusing and now I can’t delete it

Pete
I kinda picked you as a go with the flow sort of guy but this post shows leadership! I think we all can see by choosing the 64oz cocktail, you’re trying to start a movement!

Hope your doc is experienced. It’s hard to tell these days, they all work they way up from the bottom!

Speaking of large drinks.

When a bunch of us went to help close down Ken Brunt’s railroad, @Cliff_Jennings and I met for dinner at Plaza Azteca Mexican Restaurant. As usual at a Mexican place, I order myself a Modelo Negra. Guy asks “short or tall?” and I get a tall, because that’s usually around 20 oz instead of 10-12. NOPE! 34 oz.

Not my picture, but:
