When Alton Brown goes bad, it will look like this.
Found a great website, Cooking for Engineers. People submit their recipes with pictures. Everything from simple to complex and the comments often have great cooking tips and alternatives.

Someone submits Oven Baked Chicken with Rice. Simple, good and a variation on something I've eaten for years. Very first comment?
Gross - only an idiot cooks with sodium laden Campbells soup and no one should be eating white rice with fat chicken parts.

Cooking with butter - jeez. And then to wait an hour -- no real engineer has that kind of time.

Want something that actually won't kill you and takes 20 minutes max [link to troll's website]
Further comments devolve into soup nazi accusations, defense spending analogies and starving children in Nigeria.

Small and silly.

Because obviously, it's condensed soup that's leading to the obesity problems in America.

...I think I'm gonna have to try that recipe now.

My mom used to make a very similar dish in the microwave with instant rice, chicken breasts and the soup. Like at least once a week. Somehow I don't think that it was the soup that was the problem so much as the two servings I'd eat.

"Real engineers" only eat when they remember, anyway, so one fatty, chickeny meal a day is perfect! Besides, everyone knows you cook with the reduced sodium condensed soups, sheesh.

I thought "real engineers" made it their goal in life to have the company pay for dinner at a nice steakhouse every night. At least, that's what my sample of two shows. Maybe I should increase my sample to include engineers who know how to make something other than hot dogs for dinner...

Well, he's got a Rants and Raves page, but the only even vaguely wanky one is where he's mocking Tom Cruise. Me, I like the WaffleMan outfit.

If he can get that worked up over sodium, I hate to see what would happen to that guy in a wankier fandom.

This is nothing compared to how worked up the kinesiology profs at my college get over things. My 'fit for life' teacher would go into raptures about breakfast cereal, and when I informed her I couldn't have it, because I was 1)hypoglycemic, 2)allergic to wheat and 3)allergic to cow milk, I thought she was going to have a heart attack.

I thought that said "Oven Baked Children with Rice" at first. Then came Simple, good and a variation on something I've eaten for years.


I shouldn't attempt to read when I have headaches.

I saw something about fat people causing American Airlines to go under, then people started slinging politicians' names around and screaming about soup and frying things and suddenly I got a vision of a batter-fried Cheney in a light Campbells-soup-based bechamel sauce and I had to leave. That was the scariest cooking thread I've ever been in.

Man, that guy reminds me of my roommate. She's a kinesiology major and analyzes EVERYTHING for "nutritional content" which basically means: 'there better not be one MOLECULE of food in its natural state in here' (she only looks at the "nutrition facts" panel, and never at the ingredient list).

But anyways, one time I made Chicken Cordon Bleu, and offered her some. She proceeded to lecture me on the dangers of fat, and that I needed some carbs with it. (Because the fruit salad I had with it was not carbs, I guess.) It's like people are determined to suck the pleasure out of eating.

I bet that obsessively stressing over fat is worse for your health than the fat.

<-- likes fat, yum

I daresay that person subsists on only the most mineral-laden fruits and vegetables (s)he can find. Or perhaps on air and shame. Anyway, I had Tesco own-brand mushroom soup today, and I'm not dead yet. Maybe it takes time :-/

'Cause you have to spend that whole hour just standing there and staring at the oven.

I cook while I play The Sims2, and watching Firefly. But truthfully I'm only a demi-engineer, by hobbies, and by being the son of one.

Oh that's just made my day! I found that site when looking for something easy to throw together for a fannish meet I'm running in December and plumped for the chicken and rice recipe (I've tried it out, it's yummy). Now I can bill lunch as "as featured on Fandom_Wank". Perfect!

I seriously have to try that. I've made it per directions on the Campbell's label (with instant rice) and I'd add things like frozen broccoli or frozen peas and carrots mix. I love the taste from browning regular rice in the pan. I'm not real wild about zucchini (unless it's zucchini bread) but like the "ewbutter!" screamers I could substitute something else.
