i don't care what it's called. i just want to eat it.

 

[arw]

And Sicy, I think it's actually called Croque Monsieur, not Monsieur Croque. /anal retentive nitpicker

you are correct...at least coming from a few of the places I've worked that have made variations of it. It's always croque something...depends on what else is in it.

Yeah that lol.

Apparently you divide the cake mix into little bowls, add colouring to each then combine it back together in the tin. I'd like to give it a go one day, but I dont think the UK has such technocolour food colouring as the US. Google "rainbow cake", it brings up more pics and details.

have you tried a cake decorating store for colors? I make this cake all the time, especially when it's for a kid's birthday. They go nuts over it more so than what the outside looks like.

Here's the batter in the pan...you just start in the middle and keep adding your other colors to the middle of the pan. It all eventually spreads out to make the lines.

This was for my family otherwise I never would have done the center layer like this. I was going to make 2 rainbow cakes but ended up only needing one so I decided to make this cake really tall by using a layer that didn't match.

I might have to try this for my son's birthday!

 

[bono_212]

Would it be super unclassy to ask my aunt to make THAT cake for my wedding?

Cake

^Totally delicious, totally decadent, if a little ill-advised chocolate cake. With almost 3 lbs. of dark chocolate in the frosting, the cake barely held-up to the weight.

There are worse problems.

Okay, why on earth did I not know there was a food thread?! All this food talk and pictures are going to constantly make me hungry.

 

[MooMoo!]

I got a coffee today, and was quite impressed by how they managed to layer the coffee on top of the syrup (taking pics of food without looking like a weirdo/mystery shopper is hard )

First meal on returning to uni, FUCK YEAH! DOMINOS!

Also, I know the pic (and food) looks shabby, but I'm quite proud of this since I made it up as I went along and it turned out to be fantastic

Its Basa fillet with garlic and herbs, and rice with spring onion.

 

[MooMoo!]

Double post and semi related, I've got a job in what sounds like the most amazing coffee shop in the world, so stay tuned for beverage porn.

Made zucchini fritters for lunch today. These are pretty damn tasty with marinara sauce or ranch dressing.

 

[Sicy]

I dont know what that is but it looks good. Hopefully there is cheese involved.

 

[bono_212]

Are those similar to the ones from Red Lobster? Because that's what they look like to me, and yeah, I'm now incredibly angry with you.

Ohh I'm curious about Bison. My friend keeps trying to get me to try it but I'm skeered.

 

[anitram]

It tastes just like beef but is leaner (so never order it well done).

Germany, giant schnitzel - seriously it's hard to see here, but that "plate" is like a platter, really.

Goddamn I love schnitzel. No gravy, is that the go in Germany?

Can any of you cook? How long does this food take to prepare at home? My philosophy is that, excluding the time food takes to cook in the oven because at least I can be doing something else whilst it's cooking, food preparation should not have to take longer than an hour. I mean what's the point of spending longer to prepare food than it takes to eat it? Unless it's from one of Jamie Oliver's 30 minute recipes where he makes cooking look like fun I see it as bloody boring and I am completely useless if the recipe is too difficult.

But eating in is cheaper than eating out where I live.

I love those!! I wish we had PF Changs around here!

Yes, I cook all the time. Everything takes a different amount of time, but generally the meals I make most often take about an hour, depending on how many ingredients there are and if there's lots of chopping (i.e., soups that have loads of veggies in them). I don't really care how long it takes me to cook - I enjoy the whole process.

This weekend I made my new favourite, potato bacon soup:

So simple, yet so delicious!

 

[kramwest1]

Blonde Brownies in the Baker's Edge pan.

 

[bonocomet]
