It only works if it is someone else's poop. Also this. 100% safe for work.

u/Spacetime_Inspector · 9 pointsr/blankies

I hate to tell /u/grifflightning but Galaxy's Edge is going to have completely straight-faced in-universe food item names a la Avatar Land, where the most adventurous item name is '"Teylu" all-beef hot dog', the hamburger baos are called "Pods" to make them seem future-y, and the signature snack item is called "Pongu Lumpia", which is Na'vi for "Party Snack". They wouldn't touch something like "Eywa-ffles" or "Na'vitamin water" with a ten foot pole.

If he wanted to make pun food he should have gotten hired as the menu writer at the Backlot Express a few years ago, because it could really use some of that punning energy instead of the weaksauce "Royal Guard Burger", "Dark Side Chicken and Waffles", and "Galactic Salad". They weren't even trying!

(Also there's a whole two books of SW food puns in this vein, headlined by Wookiee Cookies: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Cook-Book-Galactic/dp/0811821846)

u/Raiyen · 9 pointsr/secretsanta

I remember Yoda Soda and Wookie Cookies when I was a kid! My friend and I used to make them all the time! We had come across the book in a library once.

Get the cookbook "Clueless in the Kitchen and have them make something out of it for some other people.
I was a cook for 7 years and I still find myself going to that book when I need an idea for something quick and easy to cook.

I suppose that all hinges on them having access to a kitchen though.

u/krebstar_2000 · 6 pointsr/funnycharts

For people on diets high in Pooh

u/Saith_Cassus · 5 pointsr/StarWars

Because Yoda Soda already exists and is its own, different drink. I'm not kidding. I remember it from the Wookie Cookie Cookbook

u/Drallast · 4 pointsr/funny
u/dumbolddoor · 4 pointsr/secretsanta

Just buy the book

u/TheAtomicPlayboy · 4 pointsr/funny
u/SCWcc · 3 pointsr/vegan

I see other people have already chimed in on the egg issue, so I'll offer my input on the other points.

2: I've really only learned to cook the past couple years, after being vegan for over 10, so it's definitely possible, haha. If you want to learn, my advice would be to get a cookbook aimed at kids. It feels a little silly, but the recipes are usually perfect for beginners. I learned from this one. It's not completely vegan, bu a lot of it is and it's easy to follow along with.

3: Yep! A lot of the time I'm completely out of these things so I just skip over them or sub something else with kind of a strong savory flavor. Celery, smoked paprika, whatever.

4: Cravings can be tricky, but they fade in time. If you feel one coming on you should eat something, they tend to go away on a full stomach. Keep some kind of junky snacks on hand so you can indulge without having to go for animal products.

u/persuasivepangolin · 3 pointsr/discworld

And of course, you can't forget this one either.

u/bwbeer · 3 pointsr/books
u/kerrywall · 3 pointsr/StarWars

The Star Wars Cookbooks (volume 1 and 2) have some amusing food name puns, too.

(Seriously, "Darth Malt.")

u/leidian · 2 pointsr/funny

Don't forget the classic

u/inkandpaperguy · 2 pointsr/self
u/doctorbaronking · 2 pointsr/Design

Well, to be a pedantic martinet, they aren't supposed to be doing that because IT'S AGAINST THE RULES. But, I know if you get on the right side of the right people, you can publish a Star Wars themed cookbook or a Star Trek board game... I think that most of the small-time stuff is ignored because the folks in charge don't want the bad press of hassling someone knitting Tauntaun dolls and if the big-time stuff can be monetized with a minimum of lawyering, then that's what happens.

But as far as printing these for sale, Eph would be rolling the dice and hoping that those in charge of brand value and etc would keep turning a blind eye rather than get trigger happy on lawsuits. There's way too many mixed metaphors in there, but I think the point makes sense.

u/mgowen · 2 pointsr/pics
u/monkey_monkey_monkey · 2 pointsr/Cooking

If you want to pick up a cook book, Clueless in the Kitchen turned out to be a good cookbook for a newbie like me. The name is a little cheesy but it had great tips and instructions.

Also, youtube has most (maybe all) of Alton Brown's Good Eats. Super informative, easy to understand and I learned a lot from those shows.

u/Megadoodle · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

So here is my item...Wookiee Cookies: A Star Wars Cookbook by Robin Davis http://www.amazon.com/dp/0811821846/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_XxYetb0HJ97TZ

My BFF and I checked it out from the library back in 2000 in 8th grade and somehow she remembered and found it on Amazon for my last Birthday. Not only are the recipes hilarious, they are really good. And yes, it's $0.72 over your budget. As for me, you can surprise me.

Maybe you could do a Jedi Juice Bar to see which Jedi would win?!

u/_amooks_eerf · 2 pointsr/Cooking

This is a great beginners book. It was out of print for a few years and it might go out of print again soon unfortunately.

If you are looking for snack ideas, there are several Star Wars cookbooks with themed recipes and fun names that you could use:

u/uber_elena · 2 pointsr/Cooking

this one really got me started as a kid. Lots of good, basic recipes, and they explain things really well, and make it fun.

Teaching your child to cook is a wonderful gift to give him! Take it from the woman who just taught her husband how to make a grilled cheese sandwich. :/

u/Tokugawa · 2 pointsr/StarWars

Make something from the Star Wars cookbook with him.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Star-Wars-Cook-Book/dp/0811821846

Then watch Return of the Jedi with him. (Watch A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back first.) After the movie, excuse yourself "to the restroom", but really you're changing into this.

For Christmas I received Alice Eats So far I'm just going to have to start at the front cover and work my way through.

Ol' Man Vivvav's got ya covered.

Edit: After looking through the table of contents, and seeing that in included such gems as "Krypto Dogs", "The Flash's Favorite Banana Pancakes in Red Cherry Sauce", and "Plastic Man Cheesy Breakfast Toasties", I pre-ordered it. Because I am a grown-up.

u/SleepyGorilla · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

I'm not a parent, but I love to cook, but if I could offer up some advice... If you haven't already, try getting him involved in the cooking process, even if it's just helping you prepare small ingredients. Getting him involved and having him put effort into creating his meal might be able to make it easier or more fun to try new things. When I was little my mom got me a kids cookbook that had all these cool looking meals inside. My favorite to make with her were Cheez-it crusted chicken fingers that we baked in the oven.

Edit: I did a quick google search and found an updated version of the cookbook she got me, if you're interested.

This cookbook is the only Star Wars thing on my wishlist. Its pretty awesome though.

u/Reshimon · 2 pointsr/pics

Made me think of http://www.amazon.com/Wookiee-Cookies-Star-Wars-Cookbook/dp/0811821846 got it from my uncle (who is a huge Star Wars fan too) when I was like 12 or something.

u/vivestalin · 2 pointsr/budgetfood

Clueless in the Kitchen is a great resource if you're just starting out. It's very basic and written for teenagers/college kids who are just starting on their own and don't have a whole bunch of fancy shit or money to just go out and buy stuff. The first section explains basic techniques, tells you what staples you should have lying around, what's cheaper to make yourself or buy in bulk, and the recipes are all very budget friendly and several of them are just guidelines for using leftovers to make something new.

u/Qu1nlan · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I want a Star Wars cookbook. What's the first thing I'll do? WOOKIE COOKIES.

u/EVIL_Dr_Scientist · 1 pointr/cookbooks

This book is awesome. It teaches you how to do everything form how to stock your kitchen, cut different things, meal plan and much more. I would also recommend budgetbytes.com

I always liked this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nosh-Students-Student-Cookbook-Recipe-ebook/dp/B00H000I50/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395433928&sr=8-1&keywords=joy+may+nosh+for+students

Joy May's Nosh 4 Students - it's a mother's recipe book of simple, healthy, filling things that she originally wrote out for her son, who was a fresher at University. It's got price lists, accurate pictures, and even has a section on how to keep a well stocked cupboard on a budget.

u/luckykarma83 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

It says it's free but it shows as $1.01 CDN. I thought you would like it because you have a lot of HP stuff.

  • A CD (or digital streaming service) of The Planets, Op. 32, by Gustav Holst, cued up and ready to play. (At the very least, you absolutely need to have the first movement Mars, the Bringer of War ready to go.)
  • A jar that everyone who quotes Star Wars has to throw 25¢ into, everyone who quotes Mr. Plinkett has to throw in a $1, and everyone who quotes Spaceballs has to throw in $5.
  • Snacks. Paid for by the quote jar.
u/50missioncap · 1 pointr/funny

Given that it's retailing for $68.99 on Amazon, I'd call it an inspired book title.

Hi! Sorry this took a while, I am forgetful!!

Blogs:

www.budgetbytes.com (hands down my favourite, this one has the step by step photos)

www.eatingwell.com

http://www.skinnytaste.com/

www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com (lightened up desserts!)

http://therecipecritic.com/

http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/ (not always as healthy/light but there are some truly delicious recipes on this blog!)


Cookbooks:

Clueless in the Kitchen
This book, and the other books in the Clueless cooking series (there's a vegetarian one and a baking one also) are geared towards late teens/early twenties very novice cooks. I was given this one and the baking one by my mom when I was about 15 I think, and honestly I still regularly use some of the recipes in them! There aren't pictures but there are thorough instructions on all sorts of things (for example, beside the Basic Roast Chicken recipe there is a sidebar of how to prepare a whole chicken for roasting and how to cut it apart for serving), and a little humour tossed in there as well.

Crazy Plates/Looneyspoons
The link takes you to a compilation of the author's best recipes across 2 or 3 different cookbooks - these books are admittedly from the low fat days, but they also focused on total calorie counts (and give you an estimated count per serving at the end of each recipe!) so what I do is just skip low fat versions of anything they suggest and otherwise follow the recipes. There's a lot of tasty stuff in there!

Other stuff:

Jamie Oliver's Home Cooking Skills I've only poked around this site a little bit but it seems like a great resource for people who are newer to cooking. There are videos that show particular cooking techniques, along with recipes that give you practice with those techniques so you can learn as you go. Jamie Oliver's been pretty focused on healthy eating for quite a while so I would assume most of the recipes should be fairly healthy, but I haven't looked the site over fully to be sure.

Also, seriously, crock pots are the best. A little bit of effort at the beginning of your day and then by the time you've worked all day and come home exhausted you have something delicious just waiting for you to get home and eat it. (If you are home all day when you use it you have to suffer through smelling delicious slowly cooking food all damned day without being able to pick at it lol.) Apparently Instant Pots are the new thing, those are combination crock pots and pressure cookers (for when you want things to be speedier). I don't have one yet but they sound even more handy than crock pots!

I hope some of this is helpful to you!

u/DuggyMcPhuckerson · 1 pointr/funny

Would it be this one?

u/cynicalfly · 1 pointr/technology

Clueless in the Kitchen: A Cookbook for Teens (The Clueless series) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1554078245/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_kjf5BbQD1PD00

I highly recommend this book for people with no skills. There's also a baking companion. Step by step, substitutions, humor.

u/dinosinmyshoe · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

this book? but I don't see anything that matches the description :(

u/meismariah · 1 pointr/Cooking

I've heard of cinnabons, although we used to have a place in the mall... not sure if it's there anymore but it was called aunty anne's or something? Well you could buy a large cupful of cinnabite things with icing to dip them in. it's like a mouthgasm in a cup. Although I got that idea from a recipe book I had a few years ago.

EDIT: Here is the book I got it in middle school, and it's actually pretty good. The chocolate spice cake recipe is fantastic, that was a big hit at thanksgiving one year. (also, that page is practically glued shut with ingredients, lol)

u/stewiefet · 1 pointr/AskReddit

I started off with this book.

u/wanttoplayball · 1 pointr/whatsthatbook
u/gummy_bear_time · 1 pointr/GiftIdeas

First, it's really cool that your employer did that!

Second, I agree that kids would prefer physical gifts (as opposed to passes). I don't know much about what's available in Canadian winters, but do you all go to indoor swimming pools open year-round? If so, you can get gifts related to swimming - new swimming suits, fun pool noodles, and inflatable pool toys like this swan. I can see them playing with the inflatable swan around the house too. :)

For other winter sports, do they ice skate? Snowboard? Ski? You can put your funds toward one of those and any related accessories. I'm hoping beanies, gloves, and scarves related to those outdoor sports can count.

If you have a big backyard, a trampoline would be cool if you can get the company to approve of it!

What about nutritional health? There are a lot of kits for kids to learn how to cook, along with cookbooks designed for kids. Pair it with a grocery shopping day led by the girls! Maybe you can throw in some cute aprons.

Also, I think giving them bikes over the winter would be fine. Same goes for roller blades and scooters. While not usable right away, there's no reason you can't pair those with smaller gifts they can enjoy on Xmas day.

u/Arsenio3 · 1 pointr/food

Wookie Cookies. It's not bad, but it's all kids food, and it's the worst cookbook that I have.

u/RollerKat · 1 pointr/funny

I prefer this version

u/rcreveli · 1 pointr/pics

I think the parents must have a copy of Wookie Cookies: A Star Wars Cookbook and yes I also own the sequel. In my defense I bought them with my wife after we were married.

u/Chief_Kief · 1 pointr/recipes

pasta/rice hodgepodge sounds delicious.

I also got recommended this book recently.

u/vanillawafercaper · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I read this as what small thing would completely make your MOUTH. so I'm gonna go ahead & go with that. I think a Darth Malt would make my month AND my mouth. So I would LOVE this Star Wars Cookbook The new is over $9 but there are a bunch of used copies under $9 including shipping. :)

u/carlaacat · 1 pointr/food

It's the Betty Crocker cookbook for kids, which explains the frequent appearance of Bisquick, too.
