Today I learned curry powder on plain tortilla chips is remarkably good.

I don't know if they actually sell the stuff anywhere, so, like. Take plain tortilla chips, put them in a bag with a good dose of curry powder and shake well. Done.

Which is how pretty much every industrially produced flavored chip gets made, honestly. You could experiment with quite a few things. It's a matter of what will adhere to the chip. I think if you want cool ranch tortilla chips, you can go find ranch dressing in powdered form and use that.

As for another really simple recipe: garlic bread. My friend online was just talking about a hankering for it and I was like "Dude, super easy to do yourself."

Take pretty much any bread. Different breads kinda yield a different experience but it's all the same.

Scrape a generous amount of butter across one surface.

Sprinkle with Garlic Powder (I suppose you can do Garlic Salt but it will likely be too salty. You want it to be subtle though.) You really don't want to go heavy. You want a nice, even but thin coating.

Toast it. We've always had a toaster oven which is ideal for it, but you can just do it in the oven too. Do not put in it a conventional vertical toaster though.

Once you start seeing it turn golden brown at the edges, and the butter is sizzling, you know it's ready. If you put the right amount of garlic on there, it will be nice and garlic-y and butter. If you didn't put enough, it will be buttery but the garlic will be faint. If you put too much, a lot of it won't get absorbed by the butter and will just sit on top and burn. So probably err on the side of less rather than more.

If you want cheese garlic bread, you do the same thing but just sprinkle some Kraft Parmesan cheese or w/e cheese you like over the top, shredded really thin so it melts quickly and easily. Go even fancier and sprinkle some oregano and/or basil over the top of it prior to toasting too.

Just made a homemade mocha with my favorite coffee, some "fancy" hot chocolate mix and homemade whipcream. (Heavy whipping cream, a drop of vanilla extract, a teaspoon of sugar, an immersion blender, and magic.)

It's so decadent. Can't get too used to this.

It's delightful. Roasting mellows out the garliciness to where you can easily eat a whole bulb yourself. Roasted properly the stuff becomes spreadably smooth so its easy to work with. Empty the husks and mash it up pretty well and mix it with a little butter or olive oil to kinda give it an additional binder and flavor. Salt to taste.

I'd pair it with a good french baguette myself. Sliced up, toasted a little. My brother liked to make roast garlic spread as an appetizer for family Christmas meals and it was big hit with everyone.

The ritual boomer effigies to the jolly red communist gift giver have been presented on the traditional offering altar.

Hopefully the ritual will bring about the downfall of the bourgeois, and usher in the new communist era.

opinions on smearing whole roast garlic on bread

don't eat more than one bulb per day, else you become garlic.

This is the right thing to do. Toast/roast the bread slightly for some crunch, if that's your thing.

Does anyone have some decent ideas about eggs? I have too many of them. Like 60 too many.

I've mostly been doing boiled eggs, potato omelette and banana bread but it's not even making a dent.

Christmas candies! I made some too. They're literally called crack, because they're like crack.

I made ordinary christmas cracks and on a hunch tried making some special ginger crack of my own design -- they turned out fine I think!

Quiche
Noodles (these keep practically forever if you store them right, so you cant really go wrong making a surplus supply of noodle.)
Custard pie/custard
Brioche (especially as a base for cinnamon roll)
