I don't understand why people make pancakes with Bisquik (other fake pancake brands are available), and then use fake syrup to go with it when it takes 15 minutes tops to make real pancakes.
#1 reason I do it is because then I don't have to buy buttermilk. They only sell buttermilk by the quart. That shit smells nasty. I only need a bit to make pancakes. I don't make pancakes often enough to use all that buttermilk so it all goes bad.

Trust me, once you've got this stuff, you'll put it in everything. Pancakes? Throw some Saco in there. Biscuits? You bet. Muffins? Fuck yes. Cornbread? Hell yeah.
I've used it in salami processing to add a nice tang to the product.
Add it to the dry ingredients, and increase the liquid according to the package instructions. Make sure it's well-sifted. And keep the canister in the fridge, or in an airtight container in the pantry - it's like brown sugar in that it'll turn into a rock when exposed to too much moisture.
This is basically how you make custard. Alton Brown also recommends scrambling your eggs in a double boiler. Ramsay's scrambling technique (on and off the heat) accomplishes effectively the same thing - though the double boiler is more reliable.
The caramelized butter and sherry vinegar are nice touches, though.
It's mostly just a style of french cooking, which Julia adopted for her show. I don't think it's really an issues of "stealing it from Julia". But Jacques and Julia were great friends regardless.
What's the deal with flour? I have recently been hearing that I should not be using basic white flour when I bake because it is either bad, less good, or can cause problems for some people.
I like making things that use flour as the main ingredient (bread, pasta, sweets, etc) What should I be using instead and what will the impact be on my food?
Did he say that stone he was rolling the dough on was HOT? How the hell can you get something like that in your house.
It's just a stone slab that you heat up in your oven. The point being that normal houshold ovens are not very good at keeping temperatures high when you add a large quantity of room temperature food (bread, pizza) into the oven. The stone slab helps keep the oven hot right from the start which is critical for forming a proper crust.
There are certain models of ovens that have a "self cleaning cycle" which operates at very high temperatures and some people hack these to work as bread/pizza ovens.

My dinner/lunch for the past few days. Baked potatoes are cheap and easy to make; the only question is what to stuff them with.
Lunch!
