Someone mentioned wanting this, so here's a page where you can add recipes and talk about food.
I'll start off with my extremely simple dish "Freestyle cauliflower and sausages"

Take as much cauliflower as you want and cut it into pieces of whatever size you want. Put it in a pot.
Add water to cover at least half the cauliflower, or at least enough that it won't instantly boil away.
Add whatever you want of salt, spices, butter and cooking oil, (I like a generous amount of butter and salt plus pepper)
Put on stove and turn on the heat.
When the water's boiling, add sausages. (I use [url=http://storkjokken.nortura.no/getfile.php/Storkj%C3%B8kken.no/Bildearkiv/Produkter/Gilde_polser/171363.gif%20%28250x235%29.gif]this kind). They can be whole or cut into pieces or whatever. If your cauliflower pieces are big you can maybe wait a little longer.
Boil until the cauliflower's soft and tasty.
Add more of any spice you felt there was too little of.
Eat.
(you can use the sauce-ish water left on the bottom as water for the next one and it'll be extra tasty.)[/i]

Great recipe except for the whole sausage part, since (IMO) Norwegian sausages (especially the kind you linked to) are the worst (wurst).

Question: is this a general food thread or a recipe thread? The title seemed a bit specific.

My idea was kind of a general food thread, which would include recipes.

This is the only recipe I know from memory.


Buy a pre-made pizza paste thing from the nearest big food store.

Season it with spices, herbs and/or grated cheese of your liking (optional).

Cut it into 1 inch large ribbons.

Roll the ribbons so as to form sticks.

Cook it.

Suddenly, you've made instant breadsticks.

Changed the title :)

C'm on, what's wrong with sausages? :P Anyways, it's very freestyle and improvised, you can switch it out with whatever you want, but I couldn't just say "do whatever" 'cause that's not a recipe.

It's fall here in the Northern Hemisphere and fall means APPLES which are probably my favorite fruit. So, because you are all awesome, I wanted to share my family's apple pie recipe! It's super-duper simple and delicious


First, get some apples! Any kind of apples will do, but preferably the more crunchy varieties. You can get away with 2 or 3 usually, depending on the size of your baking dish
Cut up the apples into wedges first and then into slices, so you end up with little apple triangles.

Now, take 3 eggs, 3/4 cup white sugar, and 3/4 cup flour and mix them all together (I use an electric mixer but you can probably do it by hand if you want, it'll just take longer). Ath this point, it should be roughly the consistency of a thick pancake batter. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla to make it sweeter.

The easiest thing to do is to line your baking dish with parchment paper - that way you don't need to clean the dish after and it it's easy to take the pie out so you can do that now, and put all the apples in. Then pour the batter you just made over the appes, making sure everything is covered.

Bake in the oven at 375 Celsius for about 40-45 minutes or until the top is a light brown color and it smells amazing.
EDIT: it has been pointed out to me that that should be 375 FARENHEIT.

I assume you meant 375 Fahrenheit or 190 Celsius?

I had to run down and check, and yes -my oven can't reach that kind of temperature. Are you sure you don't mean fahrenheit?

Oh my gosh. Yes, that should be Farenheit. Sorry!!! I get those confused a lot.

The moral of the story is, lets not follow the Emil Västerström School of Cooking Things

I once put sugar on my baked potato instead of salt.  Wasn't as bad as it sounds, but it did not turn it into a sweet potato.

Nice to hear that my roommate isn't the only person who's burned rice before. Supposedly, they tried for months to clean the pot, but just gave up eventually. He'll be glad to hear that there's hope for him yet.

Could be worse, a friend of mine bought a frozen pizza and put it in the oven, not realising that you have to remove the polystyrene base first. That was...interesting when the door got opened later ;D
