This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
I've done the same. I love mushroom soup. I love egg nog. I once tried to put the two together because I had run out of milk.
Now I'm not one to waste things, so I tried to finish it but could only stomach a few mouthfuls. Whatever unholy mixture that turned out to be needed to be buried a minimum of 10 feet deep in a lead container with warnings in every possible language to future generations to leave it the fuck alone.
I nearly downvoted this out of disgust. Wtf dude? No.
I know that.. now.
Some of us do the best learning the hard way.
I tried that once with hot cocoa. my logic was that going from water to milk makes hot cocoa far richer and tastier, even better if it's whole milk. egg nog is even richer and tastier than whole milk, so clearly cocoa nog should be delicious. nope
Once when I’d clearly had enough whiskey I tried adding msg to it. Thankfully I didn’t ruin much but dang does liquor not like umami
If you’re looking for a good place to use that egg nog, my dad always makes egg nog french toast on Christmas and it’s fantastic!
Didn't have milk but had chocolate milk, definitely a robot.
Hahaha
Rice and tortilla chips are both basically solid carbohydrates, right? So like, what's the difference between eating refried beans with tortilla chips, and putting refried beans in rice?
What they have in common is that they both make me not hungry anymore. The difference is how.
If you make Mexican rice, it kicks ass with beans.
It was as white as I am
To be honest, that doesn’t say much. Could be black rice, brown rice, yellow rice, pink rice…. from all I know.
Let me put it this way: one time, I got pulled over for having two license plates showing, and a headlight out. When the officer asked for my ID and proof of insurance, I didn't have either on me.
He let me go with a warning
Good God, you may be whiter than I am. Casper the friendly ghost claims that he's got a better tan than I do.
Bet it wasn't.
You were so close. Gallo Pinto is a Latin American dish where you get black beans and white rice together. It's delicious.
Tips:
Instead of wrecking the entirety of your cooking when introducing something that may not work so well, put a small amount of the new thing in your mouth with a bit of what you’re cooking.
In this case, take a spoonful of mashed potato without swallowing and then a sip of chocolate milk . Do you want an entire bowl of that?
Sometimes even just smelling one with a taste of the other is enough to decide.
Also, try a big spoonful of sour cream in your homemade mashed potato along with your regular seasonings. Awesome.
Mm, I guess for your everyday taste test this works. This would absolutely work as far as determining whether or not chocolate milk potatoes would be good. However, there are meals where completely incongruous ingredients blend perfectly due to how they're cooked.
Sometimes you must be adventurous.
Milk + butter + SC. that's how I make mine, very creamy and delicious
You don't even really need milk for mashed potato, just put extra butter in.
I've cooked some weird stuff before. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. As I've gained experience, my cooking has improved and the number of failures has decreased. Same with every other skill. If it's not dangerous or expensive, just do it and see what happens!
Hell yeah. We are born as scientists and the adults around us extinguish that drive.
Kids always ask why. Why use milk, and not chocolate milk? Well, now you know why, and nobody told you.
Return to childhood, explore all those questions. That’s what you exist for! Questions! We are the universe trying to understand itself.
I used to be a terrible cook, but I’ve learned from those bland bean stews and barely-edible noodle dishes. Now I can eat everything I make, and most other people can too (sodium free, so challenge for some; magnesium salt isn’t the same)
See the meme. Try the meme. Become the meme.
memetic hazards are everywhere.
I like pizza.
I like candy corn.
Saw weird post saying put candy corn on pizza.
I will never do that again.
I like pizza.
I like General Tso's Chicken
Made a General Tso's Chicken Pizza.
That shit is delicious.
Sour cream, cream cheese, butter, lots of options other that choccy milk
I love olive oil and I like mayonnaise, but making mayonnaise with olive oil is a mistake.
Did it end up bitter?
What an idiot. Everyone knows you use chocolate soymilk not chocolate milk.
I've made a lot of macaroni and cheese in my day, and I haven't always had the luxury of being able to afford milk. My go-to in that scenario is to use at least double the recipe's butter, and substitute the required milk with about 75% as much water.
It makes the mac and squeaky and it tastes.. not very good.
I haven’t always had the luxury of being able to afford milk
Holy hell, that's rough
Does it come out brown? 🤔
Could I prank someone by making chocolate mashed potatoes and say it's frosting?
I once decided to stuff chicken breasts with Feta, blueberry, and rosemary, I really really thought it should work.
It's the dish that my SO reminds me of constantly that almost ended our relationship. She agrees I'm a good cook but says she almost was willing to take the thought back and leave me over that dish.... It was pretty bad.
It's one of those things that sounds like a good idea if you have a brain fart.
Checken stuffed with feta and rosemary would is lovely. Feta, blueberry, and rosemary should work well together.
2 great combinations, so it should work, right?
It's the chicken and blueberry you didn't think about.
This is one of the few areas that machine learning is actually good for.

Figuring out the chemistry of taste to come up with combos we haven’t thought of.
Put some pickle juice in your mashed potatos and maybe a bit of lemon juice, that shit is the bomb
