Wow, I am out of the loop, I didn't realize that a Final Fantasy 14 had been made.

Cooking tips from Chef Stache!

 

Not happy with your dish?

 

Step 1: Add Sprinkles

(alternatively, wrap it in bacon)

 

That'll be all! :D

 

Not........everything........tastes better when you add sprinkles. Bacon though, now we're talking ^_^

Oh yeah! ;)

 

I have never really tried cooking much really, but what I have made has been quite delicious according to my professional taste tester (me ;)) I've found good ingredients tend make good food no matter how bad a cook you are.

I do a make very delicious chicken salad, however I don't really think making a salad would be considered cooking now would it? :P

Well I was sorta joking.

 

Though I do tend to experiment with sprinkles when there's nothing good to eat. Example: The only breakfast food in the house the other day was Oatmeal. I had 3 options 1) eat bland plain oatmeal Bleh! 2) Drown it in sugar... (Why not just eat the sugar then) 3) Add some sprinkles and make bland oatmeal sweet and colorful

I tried 3 it was rather delicious but not quite colorful since the sprinkles turned the oatmeal a strange dark blackish color. I thought I was cooking Sweetie Bell Style! (Though I'm probably certain mine tasted better, then again I haven't tried burnt juice)

 

But now I bought plenty of bacon for the more meatier dishes! :)

Anyone ever try to make steaks?

It is the most satisfying of foods to make.

Marinated flank steak is divine. Far less expensive than the higher tier cuts (ribeye, etc), but still damned good on its own. Just have to remember to cut it against the grain.

Well, salad is an art in and amongst itself. My favorite salad is a mix of greens(no romanine or iceberg) dried cranberries, goat cheese, and peppered pecans. If you're feeling sprinkly, add chopped bacon and tomatoes.

Yeah.........I remember doing that as a kid. Because of how many different colors the sprinkles are, when they melt, you get a color that isn't really.......pretty...

Eeeyup.

 

Grilled meat is rather simple, just gotta make sure you don't turn it into fossil fuel. ;P

Oh, and mashed potatoes, to which we (my mom and I) add some milk. We even add the juice left over from chicken sometimes. I'm too dumb to tell the difference, but I like what I'm eating.

 

Oooh, just something I remembered. When I'm making crepes or omelets, I occasionally mix things like cheese, honey, or even jam and maple syrup. It's not like putting them on top of the cooked thing; in the case of the latter three, it gives the crepe/omelet a more caramel-ish taste.

 

I love to experiment like that.

For thanksgiving I'm making my neighbors amazing garlic mashed potatoes to take to my aunts. You roast a whole garlic head, then put all the cloves into a bowl with boiled potatoes, then mash them with equal parts of sour cream and butter. It's heavenly.

Am I the only one who can't cook eggs properly?

Whenever I try they come out half cooked or they begin to dry :(

 

How are you trying to cook them? Scrambled.....over easy.............. boiled......... generally, if it's in a pan, make sure there's butter or oil in the pan before you start. And pull the eggs out of the pan before they brown.

Isn't the point of an omel- Oh wait, you mean it gets torn to pieces.

Mine turn out that way too, but that's just the stuff I add in that weakens the texture. Especially liquids, like honey or maple syrup.

As for drying... I don't know about you, but I like the caramellish taste of half-dried-and-burnt omelette.

That kinda sounds... greasy lol. The cream and butter would make my stomach go on strike. Otherwise, yum.

We Turks put garlic in a few dishes, like ravioli or steaks. Kinda gives us the reputation of foul-smelling folks, it seems. XD

Garlic is something you cannot have enough of.

 

Horseradish is another.
