Made some compost cookies today. They’re dope.

Here’s the recipe:

Pretty much a chocolate chip cookie with butterscotch chips, oats, pretzels and potato chips. Just do it.

Got some blue corn masa harina yesterday. Making tortillas from scratch this weekeend.

These look like lots of fun. I will say, your description kind of buries the lede with the coffee grounds added as well

Thanks for the recipe.

Buying the big raw shrimp at Whole Foods has been an unexpected hit.

Shrimp cocktail with freshly cooked giant shrimp isn’t even the same league as the tray of little joke shrimp they boiled a day ago. And very easy.

And it’s also incredibly easy to make fried shrimp in the air fryer. I wish I knew this sooner.

Yeah, I’m a coffee fan and you don’t really taste the coffee.

After trying one again later in the day, I’d take the white sugar down from a cup to 2/3 of a cup and maybe sub half the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips.

The recipe states not to use used coffee grounds.

Corn syrup though? That's odd in a cookie recipe, and I'm a former commercial baker. The only thing we used to use corn syrup in was pecan pies and some glazes.

I'll have to check that out. I used to make cowboy cookies, which had oatmeal, chocolate chips, coconut, almonds/walnuts, cocoa.

[count2infinity]

It’s only a tablespoon of it. No idea why.

I always make shrimp cocktail fresh despite being allergic and not eating them myself. Very easy to impress people who have obviously eaten pre-cooked/defrosted shrimp cocktail.

@tifosi77/@mac5155: Doesn't one of you have a ChefSteps pass? If so, mind grabbing this recipe for me?

That is a great clip. I actually like this one better.

[Gaucho]

I stick with the plan.

I don't have one, sorry. It irritates me because I am pretty sure this was a once free recipe.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

glad this thread has been bumped. it is a good thread and has good info.

on that note, anyone have any advice on skillets/saute pans for a cermic glass cooktop? I feel like I am getting below the line performance and would like to up my game. should I sack up and learn how to properly use stainless steel cookeware? should I just be lazy and use what I've been using and complain about it.

[tifosi77]

Yes, I mind grabbing the recipe for you. Pay for the content.

[NTP66]

Well okay then, thanks anyway.

[tifosi77]

ChefSteps went out of business last year, and friends of mine lost their livelihoods, including the company's co-founder. I'm not cheating them out of revenue by providing paid content for free.

[NTP66]

I get it, I'm not upset if you don't want to share. Explains the dickish reply, but I understand.

Picked up a spätzle maker of the "pot lid with holes in it" variety. It looked simpler and easier to clean than the press- or madoline-style makers. You just plop the dough on the lid over boiling water and then use a dough scraper to force the dough through the holes. I really like spätzle, and with this thing they could hardly be easier to make. All you need is flour, eggs, some water or milk, and salt and pepper to taste. I should have bought a spätzle maker a long time ago.

[Freddy Rumsen]

My kids love spaetzle and I make it all the time.

[the wicked child]

Cleanup is the only downside to making spaetzle. The dough is sticky af to begin with and the heat of tje boiling water as you run the dough through cooks it on.

[Shyster]

That's why I bought this one. I thought it looked easiest to clean. I can just throw it in the dishwasher, and it's been coming out clean so far.

This is probably a weird and oddly specific take but, has anyone noticed celery tasting differently as of the past few weeks or so? I snack on celery a lot and it is starting to just taste odd.

[Dickie Dunn]

Celery already tastes like garbage so I don’t know how you would even begin to notice a difference unless it no longer tastes like fibrous chlorophyll.
