You have to make sure you get good avocados

@byte[]
Oh yeah. Bad avocados can ruin the taste of the dip. But a good one makes great guacamole.

I don't think I've ever had the misfortune of using bad avocados.

@pixel
I've had some avocados that were so bad that I had to go outside and spit the guacamole into the grass.

Bad avocado is NASTY

Here's a recipe I tried making.

@yelling_into_the_void
Hey, that's not how I always made cream pies…

@yelling_into_the_void
That's a sugar pie?

Huh… i always seem to get that dish confused with another pie. The pecan pie.

@Selaphiel
Wikipedia mentions a pecanless pecan pie.

@yelling_into_the_void

Here's a recipe I tried making.

Let's see what happens if you don't bake it.

@yelling_into_the_void
After 24 hours in the refrigerator, I'd say it turned out the same.
Better, actually, because it didn't boil-over in the oven.

@yelling_into_the_void
That looks delicious.

These things are amazing!

@Selaphiel
They're tofu noodles?

@mjangelvortex
More like tofu shreds, but yeah they could be substituted for wheat noodles.
They're good in vinegar based salads.

@Selaphiel
I bet they would taste good in a bowl of soup too.

@mjangelvortex
And stir fry.

Preserved vegetables, soy sauce, and meat. This is among my favourite combinations.

Sopaipillas, aka fried pumpkin pastries.

So the other day I was watching Psych and they mentioned cinnamon pie and I was curious what that was, and Here is a recipie I'm trying.
Hopefully it works…

@Selaphiel
So basically how to make potato chips.

@Scrabbleman
The oldest known recipe of crisps.

Any Australian/British here?

Please tell me what Vegemite and Bovril spreads actually taste

I want them so bad

I made birria tacos. It was a long and complicated recipe. First I made an adobo sauce of dried chiles, onion, garlic, ginger, and spices, then marinated a beef roast in it overnight, then baked it in a dutch oven for four hours, let it cool, shredded the meat, mixed the meat with some of the broth, dipped tortillas in the broth, and cooked them in an oiled skillet with a scoop of meat on top. Once the bottoms were crisp, I folded the tortillas and the tacos were finally done.

It wasn't easy, but the results are delicious.

It's been a while since I've posted anything here. Got a brand new set of dietary restrictions, too. Since December, actually. Turns out it's not normal for people's bones to hurt all the time and gluten can do that to you.
This is by far my most hated food restriction. I love wheat more than anything else I've had to give up and it's in everything. I've been having to be very creative and cook even more ethnic food. It's fine by me, I like spice.

I found out my husband isn't a big fan of African cuisine. North, West, East, Sub-saharan, doesn't matter. Something about the spice combinations puts him off. Shame, I love the stuff. I made doro wat with authentic teff injera last night. I used pure teff flour and made my own starter four days prior. The flavor was rich. Unfortunately, the mister wasn't a fan of this either. So I'm using the rest of the teff flour to bake peanut butter cookies. Simple, quick and quite delicious.
