I want dumplings!  Crispy bottom, chewy delicious dough up top, filled with spiced veggies and tofu. 

Anything Italian. 

Drunk pasta, asparagus wrapped in prosciutto, pizza with sun-dried tomatoes and olive oil and sausage, cheese-filled ravioli.  I just want it warm and gooey and tomato-y, rich and light at the same time.  Or crisp and cool but flavorable and salty.

Give it.

Heeeey, is that pizza cooked?


I need gorditas. I need them or I will implode.

The internet has no pictures of gorditas though, so here's puffy tacos. They're like gorditas, but lazier. (Taco Bell has no god damned idea what a gordita is, and I'm only finding that and ladies.) They're the most delicious god damned thing ever. And most restaurants seem to have very similar puffy taco and gordita recipes. I prefer the texture of the gordita a bit more though.




...The beans and rice look gross though. Eww. And I prefer no salad.

It sounds odd, but I could really go for some fresh bread right now.  I am a carb-slut, but it goes great with coffee.

It's funny that this thread was here because right now I want some kettle corn. Mmmm...it'd be nice, light, and sweet.

I'm really wanting some Chunky Monkey Bread right now. [I bet Chu Chu would approve.] I'll try and remember the recipe as best as I can, but if you find that I'm Doin' It Wrong, please feel free to modify. I'm just doing this nonsense from mammary. Er. Memory. Remember, this is a very sweet and dense bread, you could even say it is a kind of cake, but I don't care. Is bread.

RECIPE
6 medium-to-large frozen bananas, smooshed
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
3 bars semi-sweet baking chocolate, roughly chopped
¼ cup walnuts, well-diced
2 medium eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
A pinch of salt
1 ½  cups all-purpose flour
1 or 2 complete fools to make this bread.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Mix the butter, sugar, smooshied bananas [straight from the freezer, for some reason it is better than letting them thaw] with your dirtyfilthy hands. [Um, kidding. Please wash your hands.]
3. Add in your flour, baking soda, and salt. More hand-dirtying mix-mooshing.
4. Er. Add in the rest of your crap, and put it in a mixer. Please don't try using a whisk, the mixture may break it.
5. Take whatever sized bread tins you'd like, as long as they're actual bread tins. Bake for about an hour.
6. Without burning yourself, take out the bread. If it tastes good, hooray! My brain is not completely stupid! The chocolate should be still solid in the bread, but ooey-gooey in your mouth. If it turned out like wubbish, don't sue me because I warned you it may not work. Like I said, you are a complete fool to make the bread. But if it turns out well, you are a lucky fool.

So I've nicked some red wine.


But I have nothing to enjoy it with.


Must resist Gio's wine and cheese thread.  Must...



P.S-  Come to think of it, this isn't really the appropriate forum for this thread.  Would one of the mods mind moving it to Shaved Ice for me?  *PUPPYFACE*
