    Maaaaaaaaaan, I was high af making some rice. Wanted to add some butter, sugar, and cinnamon. I got the first two, but unfortunately got cumin instead of cinnamon. Even high I couldn’t finish it.

      Wanted to add some butter, sugar, and cinnamon.

      You wanted to add those things to rice? Is this a dessert recipe I’m unfamiliar with, or were you just so baked you were combining random ingredients?

        Half of cooking is combining random ingredients you think will work. Took the idea of rice pudding and wanted some cinnamon with it. Think between cinnamon toast and rice pudding.

        I eat rice like oatmeal in the mornings when I have leftovers. Butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and some condensed milk is heavenly.

          Exactly. I was going for rice pudding but cinnamon, and was low on ingredients. It’s actually pretty delicious if you don’t fuck up the spices hahah

    One time I swapped the cayenne and chili pepper amounts in a recipe and it became inedible.

          I don’t really understand, isn’t cayenne powder a subtype of chili powder? (cayenne being a chili pepper)’

          I’m not a native English speaker, so I’m very much taking this as a learning opportunity ^^

            Chili Powder is any type of chili peppers ground to a powder and it’s spicy but not overwhelmingly so

            Cayenne Powder is made specifically from Cayenne Peppers (which IS part of the chili family) which is generally MUCH spicier. Like 10x as spicy

    Hah, I can absolutely see myself doing this if we didnt keep our “baking” spices and related ingredients in a different cupboard.

    The fact that the branding is larger than the informative label is fucked up. I wish capitalism would just fuck off.

      I feel that rage every time I have to check if the bottle on the shelf in the shower is conditioner or shampoo.

      Like who the fuck thinks this is OK.

      Here’s a personal example:

    Wife and I make our own taco seasoning, keep it in an empty jar just like the cayenne (same brand as the picture). During a taco night grabbed the wrong jar, dumped pure cayenne in … wasn’t so bad until it became aerosolized and maced the apartment

    PSA: Cinnamon and nutmeg look identical, but cinnamon in your mashed potatoes tastes weirdly christmas-y. I tested it, sadly.

      I’ve never used cinnamon on my potatoes, but I add it to some savory dishes like chill. The key is, cinnamon cuts through, so you need veeeeeeeery little.

        Nutmeg does interesting things to savoury foods. It’s subtle though. It’s often like a background singer making the other flavors better more than being a diva in its own right. I haven’t added nutmeg to potatoes yet, but now I think I might try it. I usually add some fresh ground nutmeg to my spinach and bacon quiche. Nutmeg would also be right at home in a sweet potato pie. So why not mashed potatoes?

          I like to put a little bit of nutmeg in mushroom soup. It adds a little more dimension to the flavor.

      My dumb ex-spouse didn’t know the difference between a clove of garlic and a bulb. Recipe called for 1.5 cloves. We had lasagna with 1.5 bulbs.

    Accidentally grabbed the cayenne instead of paprika once for a recipe I was following. Ended up being an improvement, though have gone to mixing them each 50% since then for the best results.

      I really like paprika, but it’s easy for other flavors to overpower it. A lot of recipes that call for it don’t really need it in my experience, because I can’t taste it at the end.
