How the FUCK do you make buttered and salted popcorn without it being massively unhealthy?
Don't butter and salt it, dummy
>>8699356
Artificial butter flavoring and a salt substitute.
That said, there's nothing wrong with eating a reasonable amount of butter and salt.
I don't know why people are so worried about eating "healthy food" as if they were planning to devour a dozen cheeseburgers.
>>8699356
Leave out the popcorn. Just let a bit of salted butter melt on your tongue.
post yours.
kids in London get this as their school lunches on Friday as a treat. it's called greenz, beenz toast

FUCK THIS DISH!

You have to be smarter than your cooking element. Nowadays, as you noticed, it can be difficult for some.
lol. i made it right the first time. the pasta is supposed to cool down, genius. and stir that shit
Did you add the cheese and eggs to the pan? you should transfer it to a dish and then mix the cheese and egg. I also add some of the pasta water.
List your personal best and worst fast food pizza chains.
Best: pizza hut
Worst: papa john's
I think PH has more cheese on it than the other places, and the dough/crust tastes better.
papa john's just tastes like cardboard, very dry, and very little cheese.
Best: Little Ceasers
Worst: Papa Johns
I know LC gets shit but I really think it offers the best value and tastes great, breadsticks and wings are way better than the other chains
I like Pizza hut as well, the only time I ever get it is when I get a good coupon in my email, Pasta, stuffed crust supreme are my favorites from there
Best: Blaze Pizza
Worst: Little Caesar's
Best: Dominos
Worst: Little Caesars
It's mostly cost vs taste, rather than just taste. Large 3-top for 8$ at Dominos is just a really good deal.
What are you having for St. Patrick's day in remembrance of the Irish peoples?

This and cheap shitty beer.
Welcome to the /ck/ challenge: Monthly edition!
THREAD 3!!!!
The theme is announced on the 1st of every month, and submissions are welcome up until the 23rd.
After that the voting/rating thread goes up and everyone is welcome to vote on the submitted dishes.
VOTING GUIDELINES
Voting follows an 'Iron Chef' style scoring system. This means you, the people of /ck/, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.
We will have two modes of voting:
Casual votes: Vote for as few or as many submissions as you like. Votes will not be tallied and purely for contestants to know how they are doing.
Competitive votes: To submit a competitive vote, you must vote for EVERY submission. These votes will be counted and the winner announced.
Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet your expectations for a category.
-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)
The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in appeal.
***
Copypasta Scoring Format for Lazymodo
Presentation: /5
Originality: /5
Appeal: /5
Challenge Goals: /5
Total: /20

THEME SELECTION
We'll let YOU, the people, decide!
Feel free to suggest themes that you think will be interesting and accessible to everyone.

tl;dr
The theme of March is...... EGGS!!!!!!
[Description]
While you're perfectly welcome to make a large spread of food, please make sure there is clearly a "main dish" because that is what people will be voting on.

apparently my 2 year old nephew is a master of fine dining

>>8699080
the best part is being enough of an artist and ask them why they do this, what is the message and intent. Most of those people will deflect to shit like "it's trendy" and "this guy did it I made it my way".
Literally monkey sees moneky do.
I think I have a budding obsession with seaweed salad, /ck/. What do you think of it? Do you ever make it at home? I have an asian supermarket close to me, not sure if they'd carry that type of seaweed though
That looks like the same stuff that my local sushi buffet has, I usually get a bit of it although I have no idea what's in it besides some kind of seaweed and sesame
>>8698989
Tastes great and I fucking love it, but I only eat it very rarely because I can't imagine that it's healthy.
>>8698989
the anorexic woman juice bar on the first floor of my office building sells this, along with activated almonds and gluten-free coffee
I think a 3 inch seaweed salad box is like $11
usually these days every single customer in line is a mexican with a refrigerator backpack, I guess there's a new app that lets anorexic yoga women order a poor person to fetch her whatever she wants, so they never leave their apartments anymore
Why would you use a leek over green onion and vice versa?
>>8698872
Leeks are mild and get tender when cooked.
Green onions have a less intense (than onion) raw onion bite to them when used fresh.
I fucking love leek.
Id use it over green onion in a second
>>8698872
>Why would you use a leek over green onion and vice versa?
You cook leeks, or they are too firm and tough/raw tasting, barely edible.
You essentially use green onions raw, a last minute addition, a garnish or in raw preparations, folded into cold pasta, potato or chicken salad, for instance. It should be used within a day or two, or breaks down.
That's the major difference.
USA here.
What the fuck is a 'currant'?
