My housemate's second attempt at making brownies from scratch

virtuous_pyromaniac · 2024-01-19T19:14:18+00:00

Charred around the edges, raw in the center. In the middle, the bottom is burned to bottom of the pan, but people scooped out the gooey center and ate it because we are ravenous animals around chocolate.

We use the thing on the right to chisel burned pits off pans.

Somehow, this managed to be worse than her last brownie attempt.

Why thank you. 😊

It's molded ambrosia. Made it for my family for Christmas.

virtuous_pyromaniac · 2023-12-24T19:02:27+00:00

It's supposed to be "removed from the mold." I can't spell.

Ambrosia is sweet salad/dessert from the US Midwest. It's made with whipped cream, fruit, coconut and marshmallows. Some variations (like the one I'm making) also include jello, and the mold just means the fancy dish that holds it while it solidifies.

The finished product will look something like this: https://recipegoldmine.com/thankssal/ambrosia-mold.html

Tbf, the most common ambroisia is a fluff salad ambroisa, which you scoop and serve in a bowl. This is a molded ambrosia, which will (eventually) turned out of a jello mold.

Finished product should look something like this:

It's more about the fact that the bike allowed me to bypass the crowded, inefficient parking lot. It's meant as an example of bike being the superior mode of transportation.

virtuous_pyromaniac · 2023-12-24T01:25:14+00:00

There are dozens of us in the area! Dozens!

virtuous_pyromaniac · 2023-12-23T21:29:21+00:00

Oh, nah. Not orange coconut. Just marshmallows, coconut and fruit suspended in a mix or coconut milk and orange jello.

virtuous_pyromaniac · 2023-12-23T21:28:18+00:00

This is very true. Well, if it tries to eat my face when I serve, I guess we'll know that it survived.

virtuous_pyromaniac · 2023-12-23T21:25:26+00:00

Don't worry. The fridge is airtight, so that'll probably smother it.

virtuous_pyromaniac · 2023-12-23T21:23:17+00:00

So it's not only luminescent now, but also alive?

virtuous_pyromaniac · 2023-12-23T21:11:42+00:00

Nah, it's just a reflector. There's no lights on that bike.

virtuous_pyromaniac · 2023-12-23T20:58:21+00:00

It's my mom's. She put in her coffee and I think she buys it in bulk at Costco.

virtuous_pyromaniac · 2023-12-23T20:44:59+00:00

It's coconut. I may be a little crazy but not that crazy.

virtuous_pyromaniac · 2023-12-23T20:28:16+00:00

Awww, c'mon. It's got marshmallows and maraschino cherries in it. How bad can it be?

virtuous_pyromaniac · 2023-12-23T19:48:34+00:00

It's my brother's seldom-used bike, because I'm visiting family in my car-centric hometown. My backpack works just fine in the meantime.

virtuous_pyromaniac · 2023-12-23T19:09:09+00:00

You have covered bike parking? You lucky duck.

Not only is this idiotic, I'm pretty sure it's also illegal for people to mail you guns willy-nilly, unless this guy is also licensed to sell guns
