For my contribution: Apple cider vinegar. It gives me a boost of energy, better than coffee, especially since there's no crashing or jitters after I have it.

I've heard all kinds of stories about how it's amazingly healthy, the cure-all miracle tonic, etc, etc, but I don't know how true it all is.

All I know is that I like it (the taste is like an icy cold splash of water on the face- if you like that kind of shock, which I do at least!), and it heightens my mind and mood, it helps ease sore muscles and it seems to also make my skin healthier, which is good enough for me.

Apple cider vinegar is the secret ingredient in my homemade barbecue sauce.

I just tried that OP. I poured some "naturally brewed" cider vinegar into a cup then added some water. it didn't taste as bad as I thought it would, kind of like lemon juice in water does. Don't know if it's something I would regularly have, though I probably put too much in. I too have heard stories of it's supposed benefits.

I never dilute it with water. I just take a couple tablespoons though, so it's not too hard to slam it.

I'm sure that's not good for your teeth...wash it down with water, or brush your teeth afterwards

For the last few months all I have been drinking is filtered plunger. I enjoy it.

I got an espresso the other day in town, all I could think was, what the fuck is this, so different?

Purists will argue that espresso is the ultimate in coffee making. I disagree.

Thoughts?

Soo...Valentine's Day is coming up and I am hoping to make chocolates for my girlfriend...HOWEVER! I do not have much experience with cooking and I don't know where to start. I'm hoping to make some dark chocolate thing for her without using chocolate chips (as in use cocoa powder). Is this possible? Also, if I don't have a mold, is it still possible to make this?

I realized I don't have nearly enough materials to make dark chocolate so I might just buy dark chocolate chips or bars. That works....right?

Use dark semi-sweet baking chocolate? Melt it in a double boiler and...

...if you want to cast it into individual candies, you will need a mold of some kind. Would an ice cube tray work or would it be too messy? Ice cube sized hunks of dark chocoloate would be very big, too.

Would you want to mix raisins or peanuts into it?

Is it really that great? It looks very "so so." I dont know about the actual Japanese curry, but tonkatsu tastes pretty much like any schnitzel.

I just moved out for university away from home and im not living on campus im just renting a condo out on my own but am strapped for cash.
Wanna get some suggestions what do you guys cook for yourselves thats easy and quick while living on your own

I would like to see some of the same. Here's my suggestions:

Macaroni casserole. Not quick but easy and cheap.
Recipe at www.finnguide.fi/finnishrecipes/recipe.asp?c=4&p=87
I use soy (crumbs/small dry particles) instead of beef because it's a lot cheaper. Chicken if I get it on sale works too. Easy to make a ton of at a time too.

Fried chicken or pork strips with rice or mashed potatoes. I found a great easy sauce for chicken; after frying in oil, add teriyaki sauce and some milk/cream and simmer for a cigarette brake. Delicious.

Omelettes. Nuff said.

Porridge. Experiment with it - I like to add some salami bits.

Also, buy a "almost ready to eat" storage for times you are hung over or lazy. Tuna, noodles, rice, soy, "just add water" soups, canned fruits and the like.
