Cooking with the Internet?
VonGuard asks: "Not all of you live on ramen and coffee. At some point, you have to cook, and the Internet should be a great place to find recipes. Is there a Google for recipes. And why isn't there a larger open cookbook on the net? So, is anyone working on this, or is there something the rest of us don't know about yet?"
Is there a Google for recipes
I like to use Food Network. I have found quite a few useful recipes there (one of my favorite was when I cooked for my gf's brother-in-law who is a vegetarian... Portabellas with spinach salad in an eggplant dressing.)
And why isn't there a larger open cookbook on the net?
I once heard a story of a woman that was eating a dessert at a restaurant and thought it was so
incredible that she just HAD to have the recipe. She asked the Chef and he at first declined but
after her continued insistance a typed sheet was delivered to the woman's table that included the
recipe and the bill. She read through the recipe and was delighted. She looked at the bill and
it was well over $500. She became infuriated and asked to see the Chef. He explained that her
bill was $100 and the cost of the receipe was $400.
Perhaps that's why,
Seriously though, try all recipes if you want something a little less generic.

Anyone tried this "cream of somyungai" that I keep hearing so much about?
True story.
I usually to reverse engineer (or hack) my food. And Just like any opensource software sometimes the hacked food is compatible with my stomach and sometimes it is not :(
Consensus is good, but informed dictatorship is better
Ingredients:
Vodka (chilled)
Dry Vermouth (chilled)
Olives
Olive Juice
Martini Glass
Mixing
1. Add as much Vodka as you'd like to drink
2. Splash in some vermouth to taste
3. Splash in some olive juice, until you can't taste the vermouth anymore
4. Add an olive or two
5. Drink!
Optional Extras
1. If the ingredients are not already cold, you may pre-mix in a shaker full of ice, and then strain the liquid into your martini glass. Ice may be used directly if you don't mind diluting the vodka.
2. Vodka mixes well with everything. Try additional ingredients to make new and unique martinis.

I bet you were eating cooked food. You should try again and the healthiest option is a raw food diet. Cooking damages essential nutrients and minerals, saps food of energy and creates by products that are completely indigestible.
I've heard that even raw fruit and vegetables can be damaging in the long run, and the best option is to stick with nothing but water and leaves.
SpamNet - a spam blocker that really works
so this thing you read on the internet has been proven false by some other thing on the internet.
Now there is sound scientific investigation!

Fired it up with what I do have in my kitchen...
...sadly, there are no recipies that consist solely of these components.
"ramen noodles"
"mushrooms"
"hoisin sauce"

so long as the raw food diet has some tasty steak tartare or raw-fish-sushi :-).
It's a blast if you're throwing a quick party... a little messy though.
1. Place pan directly on CPU.
2. Place article about SCO on hard drive.
3. Post URL of article to Slashdot
4. Let cook for 15-20 minutes
5. Serve and eat!

I feel fantastic, and I'm still alive.
Just add spam to make it taste more like the internet!
If we think we have all the spices, we then see if we have the other ingredients. If we think we have everything, we try to decide how it should be prepared.
We then run the plan. We taste it along the way to ensure what we expect to happen is actually happening. If we need to (and we are able to), we make changes along the way.
When the cooking is done, we put it in front of the other family members for a quality taste test. If it passes (and it normally does), dinner is served. If not, we head out for a shrink wrapped meal.

This restricts you pretty much to lichens, leaf mold, and deep-sea jellyfish.
Just the way nature INTENDED us to eat.
