There's nothing wrong with crowdsourcing the efforts of thousands of other people. What's wrong, too 'mainstream' for you?

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

This is the worst timeline.

>he uses recipes for savory cooking

you are a pleb

This if you want to know how to cook a meal you have never cooked before. I fucking hate having to sift through some dumb cunts pathetic spin on a traditional dish.

THEN IT ISN'T WHAT YOU SAY IT IS. CHANGE YOUR TITLE

Does anyone know how to make ube meringues? Can I just mix the dry ube into my typical meringue recipe?

Dude, this makes me so mad. We make a sandwich at work that we sell as a bahn-mi, but it's more like a sloppy joe with cilantro on it. Makes me suicidal, to be real with you.

Just end it all then lad.

Did you try pic related?

This thread took a very dark turn

I'm so fucking sad user

Our hobby with food only ever gives temporary reprieve from smothering depression, doesn't it? Take solace in the fact that we will all die someday and be relieved of it. I hope death comes for you quickly and painlessly, user.

this is now an unfortunate stuff on allrecipes thread

Nobody is gonna put you in time-out for eating artery-clogging potatoes for dinner. You're gonna have to elaborate on what you mean by "ok"

Never again will I go on this site. Fucking awful.
