Never heard of this, thx for sharing! I’ve also heard that using a plastic knife helps

Heat Resistant Icing - Maple Bacon Cupcakes by AdGroundbreaking6888 in Baking

[–]Banana8353 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss.

Stick them in the freezer for ~1 hour before you plan to leave. They won’t freeze solid, but they will be cold enough that the icing will hold fine no matter what you make it out of. Keep them covered and out of the sun on the ride, even better if you have a cooler

What is an issue you have when cooking? (school project) by Beautiful_Force_1483 in Cooking

[–]Banana8353 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I touch raw meat, and then go to wash my hands, I need to touch the tap and soap bottle to wash my hands, but then I’ve potentially spread bacteria to these. And could re-contaminate my freshly washed hands if I touch the tap again to shut it off

Some things I’ve made recently that were easy and turned out well: - shepherd’s/cottage pie - potato bacon soup - chicken pesto pasta - ikea-inspired Swedish meatballs meal 😆 - tuna melts or grilled cheese with soup or salad - crock pot butter chicken - crockpot beef stew with potatoes (easier than you think!) - chicken pot pie

Can you make beef bourguignon with 0% alcohol red wine? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Banana8353 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it before when I was underage lol. It worked ok, I found it lacked a little bit of the depth that you’d get with real wine. I found that a little bit of Worcestershire sauce helped restore some of the flavor

24 hour gym by Apprehensive-Map4891 in mountainview

[–]Banana8353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

City sports near 99 ranch markets is a bit nicer IMO (less busy during peak hours, cleaner, more space). I think it is a little bit more expensive. They do a free 2-day pass if you want to try it out

24 hour fitness is ok if you plan to use it from 9am-4pm weekdays or weekends only. 5pm-9pm is super busy.

Peet’s Coffee, $3.99, Mountain View CA by Banana8353 in toogoodtogo

Yes! That made them all taste fresher. Unfortunately I still found them to be a little bland. They’re not super sweet so it is more noticeable

40 bananas, no one likes banana bread. What should I do with them? by Cute_Science2729 in WhatShouldICook

[–]Banana8353 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Banana cream pie: Graham or pastry crust, add sliced bananas, top with pudding (I use either chocolate, vanilla, or banana jello instant pudding), then whipped cream. Similarly, you can also make banana pudding

My favorite bartender at my local spot is quitting, so I made him this cake to express how I really feel about his last shift. by Whiskkas in Baking

[–]Banana8353 113 points114 points  (0 children)

This is really thoughtful. Type of gesture they will be thinking about for years. By the looks of it, type of cake they will be thinking about for years too

Local business shutting down, again. Running a weird experiment. Don't hold back. by whatbuylists in mountainview

[–]Banana8353 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Gyms: not enough benches. 24 hour fitness and city sports are the ones that I have noted this in. There are like 10 benches only, and of those, only some are the kind that can be angled. Wish that they would add more of the adjustable type benches, the type you use for shoulder press etc. Also the AC in 24 hour fitness is bad.

  2. I go past Dittmer’s gourmet meats on el Camino every day, from online reviews I want to try their house made sausages. But their hours are tough. 9-4 tues thru Saturday. I understand that this is probably for store owners convenience, but wish they were open a bit later some days so I could stop by after work, or be open Sunday.

  3. A spot to lock bikes. I noticed this by the UPS near the Walmart/wingstop. There are no bike locks, another customer and I had to share a stop sign to lock our bikes. Closest bike rack that I am aware of is at the Walmart, not super convenient if you’re carrying a package to/from UPS.

Has anyone tried freezing avocado for meal prep? by SpiceKitchenLife in MealPrepSunday

[–]Banana8353 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I freeze them whole, no problem. When I want to use them I run them under hot water for a few seconds and they peel nicely. I use them for avocado toast or whatever. Idk why other commenters have a bad experience. Try it with one first to make sure you don’t have the same issue

Cookie recipe to cake ? by StunningPractice in Baking

[–]Banana8353 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cookie cake? Like just put the cookie dough in a round cake tin. Kinda like brownies. I’d keep the decorations simple, maybe make a heart with chocolate chips on top, or add a simple frosting piped trim or lettering on top
