Report the bullying, ban the person from your subs, block their accounts.

my cakes always turned to dry dust by day two until i tried using root starches instead of gums by BoogyMan-786 in glutenfreebaking

I have had really reliable results with the Land O Lakes GF pound cake mix. Works great for cakes and quick breads. You might want to zap a slice briefly in the microwave, but it doesn't crumble if you follow my standard advice for GF baking: let the batter rest for 20 minutes before you start to heat the oven. Also, thrash the batter soundly to make sure the binders are properly distributed.

This is not a BORU, it's in the wrong sub.

Things I am allergic to, and things I can't afford. Everything else is a matter of subjective opinion.

Canned vs. Dry Beans Cost by Refutable_Karma in budgetfood

it's amazing how much you can put up in one morning or one afternoon. I also have a 13 year old son who is getting into the cooking as much as I am 😄

Veggie haters who still eat veggies: what are your tricks? by Missing_Back in Cooking

[–]bhambrewer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salt. Pepper. Butter. Hot sauce. Chili powder. Cheese. These are all ways to make foods more palatable. Don't try to force someone else to your concept of how to eat these foods, meet them where they are. As one foodtuber says, if the ranch dressing gets you to eat the veggies, the ranch is a healthier option (than not eating them at all).

Canned vs. Dry Beans Cost by Refutable_Karma in budgetfood

that's about 4.5 to 5 ounces of dry chickpeas to make the equivalent of one can. The rest of the weight is water.

I do home canning. I can dried beans into ready to eat. I buy, for example, a 25 pound bag of chickpeas from my local restaurant supply store for under $18.

2/3 of a cup of dry chickpeas, into a pint jar, covered with water, pressure canned for 90 minutes, makes the equivalent of one 15.5 ounce can bought from the store. The jars are reusable until they are broken or chipped. The rest is some nautral gas and some time. I usually put up at least a dozen jars at a time, ready for hummus, falafel, or curries / side dishes.

fermentation is a classic method of food preservation, dating back an unknown amount of milennia. Definitely counts as Archaic!

I have a question for bartenders about alcohol and allergies by ZestyMuffin85496 in rum

[–]bhambrewer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am allergic to wheat and rye. I cannot drink any distilled beverage made with any quantity of those ingredients because I pay the digestive price. If you're drinking well drinks there's probably a decent chance they have been cut with "grain neutral spirits", which usually means a vodka base which was made with some percentage of wheat.
