Metric measurements are nice, IMO - they allow me to use nice counting numbers that and up neatly. Most of the time. Here's a bit of weirdness that works in spite of the cross-system measurements: My [current] Recipe for Rice 1 pound of white rice 1 liter of potable water The above measurements, if combined in a pot, brought to a boil, then covered and cooked over the lowest possible fire for exactly 20 minutes will produce enough cocked white rice for 3 people for one day. Earth Time.

This is from Annemarie Frohn Hornsby via Facebook : dunk some double-stuffed oreos in funnel cake batter... deep fry at about 350' or until golden. The cookie inside will be melted and gooey. Ummmmm Powdered sugar on top of the oreos once they're done.

Spicy Auto Fish Noodle Soup This recipe is for one of a variet of newer dishes that fall into a a category we are calling 'autofoud'. A common characteristic of all items which are dubbed 'autofoud' (or: 'auto-food') is simply that they are food items prepared and served by restaurants or fast-food places /which are used as ingredients in other, consumer-prepared foods. For example, the fish in this recipe is an autofoud, and hence is called 'autofish' (or: auto-fish) Ingredients: 1/2 ten piece auto-fish dinner from [Cap'n D's] (approx 5 pcs auto-fish) 1/2 side order of auto-hush puppies [same as above] approx 2 dozen little plastic packages of malt vinegar (bottled malt vinegar may be substituted) 1 package [Top] ramen noodles (N.I.N.A. - Nissin Is Not Autofoud) soy sauce (to taste) North Korean Chinese Regular Hot Chili Sauce [see:Cock Sauce:Walmart] Water (approx 0.35 liter) Required Equipment: chopsticks bow...

Pepsico - under their Pepsi™ soft drink brand name - has become a recent - and arguably the most high profile of the participants in the High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) conspiracy. In a move of what could only have been calculated brilliance [at least from standpoint of that portion of the the US market segment which are not either a) actively engaged as members of some sort of bizarre suicide cult, or b) members of Al Qaeda)]:  Pepsico™ have announced that they will [for a "limited time" - WtF is up with that?] make available in their US markets a version of Pepsi tagged "Throwback" which is made with - wait for it: " Natural Sugar ". As in: "No High Fructose Corn Syrup". I tried some when I saw it in the local convenience store last week - very tasty, much more like what we (those of who are old enough) remember as a "fountain coke" taste. Good job, Pepsico. Somebody listening to the consumers, there, at least "...

This is an old recipe that I'm pretty sure my mother ( June Perg Floyd ) invented. Happy Mother's Day, mom! [Grandma June's] Oatmeal Patties 1 cup uncooked oats 1 cup crumbs (bread or cracker or another cup of oats) 1 cup milk 2 Tablespoons soysauce 1 tsp salt Garlic Beat 2 eggs; add milk & soy-sauce mix and let sit a few minutes to soak up a little of liquid. Drop by spoonful into hot greased skillet. Can serve with gravy or a can of mushroom or tomato soup I will reformat this - the above is as close a representation as I can get of whats on the stained warped old 3x5 card I have sitting on the laptop ;) And as a reminder, this recipe is only one of those that may be found in the forthcoming earth food ’s serial cooking for humans , [and a couple final notes from my personal experience: use peanut, corn, or olive oil to cook them in - or walnut oil, if you can get it; also, (speaking of nuts) chopped pecans go great in this, iirc]
