Cooking...with gamers. Think about it.

Posted: 12:42 a.m. by Kathraxis Hey, I have a question! When you preheat the oven, can you start it before you measure out the ingredients, or do you have to do it afterward? Please answer quickly, my friends and I have been arguing about it for four hours and we're getting pretty hungry.

Posted: 12:48 a.m. by Goku1440 I found an awesome loophole! On page 242 it says "Add oregano to taste!" It doesn't say how much oregano, or what sort of taste! You can add as much oregano as you want! I'm going to make my friends eat infinite oregano and they'll have to do it because the recipe says so!

Posted: 1:02 a.m. by barrybarrybarry I can't believe I spent 35 dollars on a cookbook that doesn't have a recipe for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. When I buy a cookbook, I expect it to tell me how to cook. And don't tell me to just make a PBJ myself, I'm not some sort of hippy artist pretentious "freeform cook."

Posted: 1:08 a.m. by jvmkanelly Where are the recipes for chatting with friends while cooking? Where are the recipes for conversation over the meal? When I throw a dinner party, I want it to be a PARTY. I guess the idiots who use the Better Joy Cookbook just cook and eat in stony silence, never saying a word or even looking each other in the eye.

Posted: 1:23 a.m. by LordOrcus Hey, guess what? They're coming out with The Better Joy Book of Hors D'oeuvres. It just goes to show that the publishers are a bunch of corporate greedheads who care more about money than they do about cooking. Is it too much to ask for a single cookbook that contains all possible recipes?

There's better at the site. Go. We've all known people like this. Invited them into our homes. Fed them.

Then tried to play games with them. *snickers*

Andy: I like the one about the inauthenticity of the Beef Wellington recipe
Casey: You want realism in a book about *cooking*?
Casey: Every time you bring reality into a discussion of cooking, God kills Martha Stewart.
Andy: Please, think of Martha Stewart.

I can't help but want to tell that one person ...

... that she needs a pre-1965 cookbook. Those were the days of real parties, where people chatted around the buffet table while eating, and sometimes even cooking their own tidbits.

I remember one recipe that had you keep oil hot on the table for people to fry their own meat pieces to their desired doneness from a fondue stick.

Ahh, the good ol'days. At least where the parties were concerned.

Rules-lawyering cookbooks. What's wrong with this picture?
