alright co/ck/s I need some recipe help.
I'm going to be making Valentine's Day dinner for my boyfriend. however, I'm not quite sure what to make. I wanted it to be a four-course meal: appetizer, salad, entree, dessert.
except, of course, I'm not really sure what to make.
I was thinking for the salad I would do a strawberry/avocado salad because it's healthy without lettuce (which is bland). it's also brightly colored and the red strawberries are reminiscent of Valentine's Day.
maybe stuffed mushrooms for the appetizer? does anyone have a unique and delicious stuffed mushroom they like to make?
entree: I was hoping I would be able to buy lamb chops, but if they're not on the market or too expensive I'll be doing small ribeye steaks instead. served over horseradish mashed potatoes - my boyfriend LOVES horseradish and has never had it in mashed potatoes so I hope to surprise him with something good there. but I need a green to go with the entree.
I'm completely lost on dessert. I was maybe going to do chocolate covered strawberries as a side thing, since I'll already be buying them. chocolate in the dessert isn't a must but it would be preferable.
give me all your ideas, /ck/, so I can make this Valentine's Day super uber special for my bae <3
(pic somewhat related, double dark chocolate cookies with strawberry rosewater frosting I made for myself on Valentine's last when I was single.)

Well I sure hope he's getting you an expensive shiny thing, because you're doing everything he's supposed to be doing.

>my boyfriend
Oh boy, here we go.....
>>7346972
we've been fighting and he's not a cook.
I'm more than glad to cook for him. I do it all the time. I just want to make things up to him and show him how much I care by doing this great big thing for him.
he still owes me from my birthday last month, too, so I'll be getting loads of presents ;)

some shitty, over-hyped burger "joint"
Has anyone here had any success making a pizza, without a baking stone, that wasn't terrible?
I've got a bunch of dough left, and I just don't know what to do. It's always undercooked or burnt.
>>7349021
Sounds like your oven is too hot. Try turning down the heat and cooking for longer.
I've made plenty of pizza without a baking stone and they have all been pretty decent.
>>7349025
got any tips?
Anyone in /ck/ about that Lunchables life? What are your favorites and your building techniques?
Not anymore. Those fuckers are like what, $3 a package now? Im never lucky enough to catch them on sale.
Too many calories.
>>7348833
They're about $1.50 on a good day.
RIP in peace, spaghetti mama...

Mary Fiumara, Mother in Indelible Prince Spaghetti Ad, Dies at 88
From Juliet to Alice Kramden, women have communed from their upper-story windows, but few ever reached a wider audience with as mundane a message as Mary Fiumara.
In an indelible long-running television commercial first broadcast in 1969, Mrs. Fiumara, playing a devoted, robust and aproned mother, convincingly hollers “Anthony! Anthony!” from a second-floor tenement window in the Italian North End of Boston to summon home her 12-year-old son from blocks away for a hearty serving of Prince spaghetti.
To get there, Anthony, in short pants and sneakers, wends his way through a crowded street market, races up the stairs and arrives out of breath but, like his welcoming mother, smiling.
Mrs. Fiumara (pronounced few-MAH-ruh) died on Tuesday. She was 88 and had lived in the North End since she was a teenager. Her death was confirmed by her son, John Fiumara.
Literally who?
Barilla is better anyway
It does tug a bit as i am a Bhoston Bhoy but Prince was bought out ages ago, family biz shit no longer applys. But that scene is right there with me brother. bocci and old assholes everywhere.
Hey ck, what is the best saucepan in the world? I want to get it as a present for someone. Is there a Chevy of saucepans?

To people who cook...
Why the fuck are you sticking your nose into my business when I'm cooking? Stop telling me what I'm doing wrong, I know what I'm doing. I don't care if I'm holding my knife wrong, or putting too much in my pan.
Please mind your own business.
You looked like you could use the help, sorry
>>7348560
Stop cooking like shit and be considerate of those eating whatever slop you throw in front of them
>>7348560
If I don't tell you you're wrong, you'll never learn, youngin. Respect your elders and get off my fucking lawn.
good post tendies
Fuck I hate variety packs like that, you know the chocolate and blueberry muffins will disappear in minutes leaving the bran or banana nut or whatever the fuck to go stale. Maybe one person will eat one but it's more likely they'll take a bite or two then throw it away.
>>7347684
These packs are great if you're the weird guy who prefers banana to blue berry or who has unlocked the secret to chocolate muffins.
[spoiler]They need to be eaten with cold milk[/spoiler]
ok u fat fucks
Protip: When using oil in your pan, use only 1 table spoon. dont drizzle and pour oil like a retard because just 1 tbl spoon contains 120 calories
if you pour olive oil into your frying pan then guess what, you just added 400+ calories into your food that you didnt know about
Do you have autism
>>7346308
The amount of oil you put in the pan for frying or saute is largely irrelevant from a calorie perspective because you leave the oil behind in the pan when you're done cooking. You take the food out and the oil remains behind.
>>7346316
a lot of it is absorbed into the food and if the food is totally saturated in your case then youre a fat fuck arent you lol
Hay Australian fags
Place on Lygon st called naughty boys that has fucking top milkshakes, how do you make your milkshakes?

I really like virgil's real cola
I'll drive to the gas station and pick up like 40 oz of cherry vanilla coke, but Virgil's is saved for super special occassions
Enjoy your liquid candy and early deaths.
Pic related is what I'm drinking right now, and I was just wondering...what is it that makes most macrobrews taste so much worse than microbews? Is it the ingredients? The way it's made? Why is so much beer that is produced on a large scale not good?
By the way, I'm not an elitist snob, I'll drink whatever like I'm doing now. I was just wondering what you guys think
big name lagers use a lot of corn in the mash.
maybe you dont like the taste of corn.
Its basically just watered down beer
If you like drinking plain carbonated water, you might enjoy it, but most people don't enjoy plain carbonated water
>>7348470
They use corn in such a way that it doesn't really add any flavor, though bud uses rice, not corn and is even worse
Good stuff.
>>7348234
Nvr been. Looks good tho senpai.
Looks so good. I'm going to spend so much money there on the basis of what OP posted. Wow.
Their pub burger thing is the best fast food burger
Can we get a sous vide thread?
Just got one, need to figure out what to cook first.
Tips also appreciated
Fuck sorry about the pic.
Should've bought a dragon dildo instead.

Is that slang for something?
