More drowned food

NOTE: THE PHOTO LINKED HERE HAS BEEN CHANGED BY THE BLOGGER. Wimp. Your nachos are still ugly--even if they're not drowning in sour cream.

This one does, in fact, use fat free sour cream, but man that's a shitload of sour cream.

The recipe says "fat free sour cream (to taste)." However I think it should say "fat free sour cream (enough so you can't taste anything else)".

Where's the beef?

Even if it is low fat sour cream, this one sent me in search of a much-loved commercial.



Am I showing my age?

It reminds me of when I eat corn for dinner

You just can't go wrong with poo in a can.

Would you eat this...recipe?

mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm...vomit.

So far no one has chimed in with a "Wow, that sounds awesome. I can't wait to try it for my next party."
I wonder why.

Pickle Dip

2 packages dried beef (Cut into small squares)
1 jar baby dill pickles (chop in food processor until you have small pieces)
16 oz whipped cream cheese
16 oz sour cream
1 tbsp water

mix all inredients [sic] with a hand mixer on low until well blended. serve with torilla [sic] chips. scoops work best.

A little specificity never hurt anyone

"What do you serve at dinner parties?"

Um, food?

(I really want to post with that reply, but I won't)

Stupid Questions

As filler, while I'm in search of more ugly photos (I think people are working hard to either avoid me or try to get in on purpose, and that doesn't work; not to mention the fact that now everyone is saying "it's a bad picture but...") I'd like to mention a few of the incredibly imbecilic questions that get asked on the What's Cooking board. Before I started this blog--when I was contemplating a WC-related blog, I cut and pasted a few stupid posts into a word document that I keep on my desktop.

The other day someone actually asked if shrimp was protein.

I don't have a link for this one, but someone asked a few weeks ago whether they were supposed to put water under the crock in their slow cooker. Why yes, of course, if you want to electrocute yourself and burn your house down in the process.

Sure, I understand that it's supposed to be a place to ask questions about food, but some of the questions are just stupid. Most of the time I just want to reply with "Google!"

I can't get over how many people come on and say "I am going on a diet. Can you please share some healthy recipes?" or this one, which I don't think got any replies:

"My moms birthday is Halloween and they are coming here for dinner. I want to make her a great dinner but i need help. She doesn't eat red meat..and she is on Weight Watchers..Please help..Beth"

Beth really needs help, but it would help if she were a little more specific. How about "Do you have a favorite chicken weight watchers recipe that would make a great birthday dinner for my mom"? Is it really that hard to find a recipe without red meat that is low fat? Beth did not have a picture in her profile, so I could not see what she looks like and make my own assumptions about whether she lives on chicken fried steak.
