        Cauliflower cheese. Crispy baked on top, with plenty of cheese and mustard in the sauce...not the half cooked, white sauce rubbish someone served yesterday.

          Now I know what I'm making tonight. I forgot this even existed. Thank you!

          I didn't ask for this, it sort of fell on me.

              Sometimes when I am feeling particularly down I like to chop up a dill pickle throw in some shredded cheese and add some croutons and bacon bits to that mess.

              Been doing that since HS. Dunno why that combo works for me, but I love it. Healthy for you? Definitely not.

                @mietze My family has been using the same recipe for like... five generations. Just exposed my bf to the homemade chex mix this holiday season!

                  @zobi I personally would omit the cheese unless it was those cheese crisp things but that sounds good to me! I may be guilty of buying a bag of croutons just to eat as a snack though. 😉

                    @mietze I bet those cheese crisp things would work just fine! It's such a good snack. I love pickles so much though. And I am guilty of eating croutons as a snack 😄

                    Unrelated note:
                    The only thing I am regretting about my move is the fact I can't find these spicy pickles I love here. And I have been craving spicy pickles!

                            @layla My pleasure. Will you make some for me? Apparently I don't have the ingredients now and I've given myself craving for it!

                              The Co-Op by my friend's house has these new sweet potato/dill pyrogies. Every D&D night, I make a point to pick up a bag.

                              I've put on ten pounds since they came out 🙂

                                • Waffles and/or Pancakes, potentially with BLUEBERRIES and hand-whipped cream. REAL 100% pure maple syrup.
                                • Mild udon (Japanese noodle soup with big thick noodles and a thin broth) using vegan dashi (broth base) and silken tofu; shiitake and enokitake (mushrooms). Maitake is also fantastic if you can find it.
                                • Miso soup, again from vegan dashi, with small cubed tofu, kombu, nori, and scallions.
                                • Vegetarian poutine. (Yes, this is a thing and it is amazing)
                                • Malted milk shakes.
                                • Toast.
                                • Eggs&toast -- ideally sunny-side up but properly cooked so the eggwhite is solid and firm and the yolk is gooooey and the toast has a thin spread of Marmite or even just yeast flakes.
                                • Quesadillas -- flour tortilla on a very-lightly oiled griddle, four-cheese blend, Tapatio sauce, possibly with guacamole and sourcream on the side.
                                • Campanelle alfredo with smoked gruyere and steamed broccoli.
                                • Plain lentil soup.
                                • French onion soup, properly baked in an oven until the cheese browns delightfully.
                                • Real county fair cheese curds fresh enough that they still squeak.
                                • An Old Fashioned -- Rye whiskey, Angostura bitters, simple syrup, soda water, frozen whiskey stones or ice; garnish with orange peel.
                                • A Sazerac -- Rye whiskey (traditionally Sazerac whiskey), Peychaud's bitters, simple syrup, soda water if needed, shaken with ice and strained. Coat the interior of the glass with absinthe and swirl the rest back into the main drink (because absinthe is goddamn delicious). Garnish with lemon peel.

                                    I live dangerously close to a fish market with a really good, really cheap fish and chip shop in it. For four pounds I can get fish and chips with the fish caught the same day, generous helpings and excellent quality chips.

                                    It is tremendously lethal and I find myself doing this at least once a week given I basically have to walk less than four hundred yards for an immediate delicious yet fattening feast. It does not even cost all that much more than cooking a full meal for myself.

                                      @jinshei Most of the specialized poutine places will be lacto-vegetarian by default. Almost all of the poutine shacks I've encountered in Montreal and out west will use a mushroom gravy unless otherwised specified, the only constant is they'll claim they're using the original recipe and everyone else is fake. Might be best to call anywhere near you ahead of a trip. There's a couple places in my city that do pretty good vegan poutines 🙂

                                        I had a brief bafflement at the 'vegetarian poutine' myself with a 'well isn't most? unless you specifically add bacon or something...' >.> because yeah, mushroom gravy.

                                        Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.

                                          Its weird how the little details can shift depending on where you are. I live close to the Quebec border in the US and have never heard of mushroom gravy with poutine. It's almost always turkey, occasionally beef.

                                            @auspice Right! But you see in the US 'gravy' usually means that horrifying thing grandmothers make with turkey droppings drippings or something at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

                                            My discovery of the wider world of gravies as a general sauce with vegetarian applications is relatively new, or else I'd likely be considerably rounder. (happened when we moved to Portland, mmmm)

                                            This sounds like some sort of Texan heresy.
