    What is this, a breakfast for ants? That Jesus is way too serious and the coffee needs to be at least 5 times bigger. I wasn’t going to mention the lack of a shotgun, but the tiny ass knife pushed me over the edge.

    Disgraceful.

    My American breakfast consist of donuts, waffles, pancakes, with a bowl of lucky charms.

      Japan. Japan has thick pancakes, Europe has thin pancakes, and the US has normal pancakes.

        You can get the Murican pancakes about an inch thick if you keep the batter thicker (and/or let it sit for a few extra mins). That’s where it’s at

        To get Japanese thicc pancakes you gotta work, that’s whipped egg white terroritory

          I once made a cake sized pancake using a rice cooker and regular American pancake batter.

              The trick is to steam them. Thats actually what they do in japan and is what makes them fluffy.

              I actually prefer low heat oven and a small pan with high walls. But otherwise use a cake pan with a parchment paper circle in the bottom on a steamer lifter and some water in the bottom of the pressure cooker.

              Now the neat part is to make favored steam cakes like matcha and chocolate chip or ube.

                See the thing is, and there’s nothing wrong with this, you baked a cake.

              There’s not much more to it. Mix up your pancake batter the way you would normally, put it in the rice cooker (one of the simple ones that’s just “cook” or “warm”), turn it on, then a bit later enjoy your giant pancake. I am an abysmal cook but the only problem I had with it was getting it out because I didn’t grease the inside of the cooker.

              I did a quick DDG search for “rice cooker pancake.” There are plenty of results (it went viral on Reddit a long time ago, which is why I tried it). Here’s one from Allrecipes:

      I have eaten nearly an entire pack of bacon in one sitting before and I enjoyed it during the process, but I will never do that again because it felt like grease was endlessly dripping down my throat and I couldn’t shake it for like an hour or two. There was also a lot of heart burn

      The OP picture gives me PTSD flashbacks

        You’re supposed to put it on some paper towels and let the grease drip off. Not eat it straight out of the pan dripping in lard.

        Now try it again and this time do it right.

    a real conversation that happened over sms with a real actual friend we know:

    (us) we love cooking and baking with others!!!

    Ooo me too even if I really only know how to make really good Mac and cheese lol

    (us) we would enjoy doing that sometime
    there are so much ways to cook it and they are all so good

    Oohhh I know, i like making my Mac and cheese really creamy

    (us) another one of our favorites is pierogi
    its like running a little factory

    One time we [friend with his family] put like three different types of meats (bacon, ham and I forgot the third one) into the mac and cheese and it’s really good

    […]

    To make mine really creamy I usually add double the milk and butter, and also add sour cream lol

    (us) oh like box mac and cheese? or a recipe you have

    I usually use box Mac and cheese as a base and add more cheese too ofc

    (us) we just usually make our own from ingredients hehe
    we prefer big macaroni

    I could 100% make mine from scratch but that fake artificial cheese is strangely just too good

    for reference box mac and cheese is basically a bunch of tiny TINY ant size macaroni covered in starch with a packet of cheese POWDER in a box. to make:

    1. boil the macaroni
    2. remove the water
    3. mix in cheese powder alongside milk and/or butter to specification
    4. serve

    it is as bland as it sounds, if not more, even with added seasoning etc. the only purpose for why manufacturers require milk/butter instead of adding milk powder themselves and just requiring for water to be added is consumers would be too suspicious otherwise. literally domesticated war rations… he is thankfully open to learning to cook other stuff with us at least, hopefully we can fix him :3
