yup. lol.
So the thought is to make a custard base, no vanilla, just a basic cream base, and then add 15% rendered foie gras fat. I think that's probably a safe place to start from.
Let sit 24 hours in the fridge, then hit it with an ice cream maker or liquid nitrogen. Pretty basic, but that cream base is the challenge. The texture was nearer a thick chantilly.
It can't have be that challenge, just need to get my dewar filled.0 -

But how else would you be able to fit that kitten in your pocket if you didn't fold it in half first?0 -

This is the most important question in this thread and needs to be answered by someone with more kitten knowledge than I.0 -

People are accountable for their own actions. Some lose weight one way, others do it another. Whatever works for you is your choice. I decided to eat healthier for, well, my health. But I indulge. I have bad days. Sometimes, I have a bad week. I'm human. Everyone here is. Deprivation will only lead to failure. I try and eat more fruits and veggies and I have succeeded in that. Now, I'm trying to cut down on my salt intake. Maybe next, I'll try with carbs. I adjust and see what works for me. I still eat pizza. I still have a donut sometimes. We are all here because we have a love/hate relationship with food. It's awesome to eat clean and it's awesome if you want a bowl of cocoa pebbles for dinner. I don't think the original intent of the message was to belittle, even if it sounded that way. Losing weight is important and being healthy is important. I wouldn't recommend cookie dough or pizza for lunch every day, but hey, if the mood strikes once in a while, I say, go for it!!0

See I think the chief difference is that people who aim to eat "clean" (whatever that means to them) often talk about having cheats or bad days or bad weeks. The people who strive for moderation, likely eat the same amount of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein but plan to work in indulgences like wine, ice cream, or whatever they love once their other nutritional needs are met. They don't call it cheating or being bad and as such, I think the food diaries are fairly similar but one group has a healthier, more positive mindset about it.
Also we are not all here because of a love/hate relationship with food. I've never hated food. Well, other than cauliflower and arctic zero ice cream... But those are just vile...

You hit the nail on the head once again, my dear.
I've done the "clean eating/cheat day" thing many times over. Too many rounds of anxiety over food choices and guilt when I would eat something I felt was "bad." I am so much happier this time because I feel like I've finally found balance-because I changed my mindset. And educated myself more about nutrition and calories. And observed some of the successes of a lot of people here, many of whom are now my friends. I'm still a work in progress and always will be.

No, not really. I just needed to learn to eat more in moderation. It was easy after I did that. I don't have a love/hate relationship with food and it was never viewed as an addiction for me.0 -

You press store-bought cookie dough to the bottoms of a cupcake tin about 1/4 of the way up. Top with an upside down Reese cup, and then top THAT off with brownie batter (about 3/4 of the way up). Bake for 15-18 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven.
It's heaven.
I can't believe no one has posted this yet...
I personally think the Oreos taste better than Reese cups
ETD: I've heard these referred to as slutty brownies.0
