    For that application, probably. The cold from the ice cream will make it hard and brittle, as well as giving a slightly grainy mouthfeel. Which, along with the ice cream itself(unless it's soft), will ensure you squish the shit out of the donut as you try to bite through the whole thing...

    Give it another year or so. Phone hardware is starting to eclipse a what's needed for a fluid experience on everything but gaming(i.e. 99% of smartphone users). Up until maybe even this cycle(snapdragon 800), newer phone actually meant a better experience. I'm sure Android will find a way to...

    Whiskey

    I 100% realize I'm being a cheapass, but I compare the prices versus what I usually drink(rum or gin) and I can a lot more resulting drink(cocktails) from those than I can with whiskey. Not a fair comparison, but whatever. Very surprised to read someone recommending Trader Joes to save money.

    I was being sarcastic. I don't like wings either. Too messy and there's too much mystery stuff that's unpleasant to eat. Chewy skin, cartilage, unrendered fat, bones, ugh. Too much work for a little amount of meat. And ranch(i.e. buttermilk dressing) basically shouldn't exist. I can't...

    Whiskey

    I still don't enjoy most beersBut I do like a good whiskey. Shame my wallet doesn't. I'll be honest though, as long as it's a whiskey, I don't really care. Are people that specific that they can tell the difference between a whiskey made from a 51% corn/grain mash and something made from rye?

    More charred, crispy exterior relative to overall burger mass? Burgers are about the only place you can get away with that because it's ground meat and usually served with some or a lot of fat, thus making overcooking more forgiving.

    Cottage cheese is SLIGHTLY cheaper than ricotta, but I don't see how one is lazier than the other. As for your picky GF, I believe that's perception of effort, not that it's actually helping(it may be). She went through the extra effort make her kids dinner and ask the butcher to grind up...

    I don't get the bechamel sauce part. It's a roux(flour + butter) and milk. With all the other ingredients in a lasagna, you are not going to taste that. Bechamels are usually used a bases for other sauces or creamy soups, where the thickening power of the roux makes sense. It doesn't in a...

    And you're getting valuable feedback. You obviously have very little common sense as to the protein content of everyday food nor must you even glance at a nutrition label once in a while. Don't get mad at me for pointing out bullshit. I care not whether you eat vegan. Do it for the right...

    Well, I think you generally should be a bit more cautious with claims like that around people with the free time and motivation to fact check it. It makes it hard to take the rest of what you're saying seriously when you(Convo) read tomato = ham = brocolli and don't go "wtf?". EDIT for...

    So eat the foods for those specific nutrients. Some of them might be non-vegan. Also, I think some of your calculations are way off. No way a standard tomato compares in protein to ham per calorie. That's just ridiculous.

    100 calories of raw broccoli does not have 11g of protein. Have fun eating 3.3 cups of broccoli. Also, that must be a really fatty piece of steak. I just looked up the 2 pieces of pork sausage I had last night. 236 calories for 4.25 ounces, 28g of protein.

    WTF McCheese. 2 pounds of 93/7 beef is 1360 calories. And that sounds pretty boring at that. You can make a whole batch of chili with those ingredients and a few others. Or some nachos. But you just browned up some beef, tossed in some pepper and onion and ate it all? Ugh.
