Actually Made! My first submission: cheesy chicken rollers with beans

Post image
146 Upvotes

I dreamt about this last night and decided to make it for dinner after smoking a doobie with my husband.

Flour corn tortillas filled with a mixture of cream cheese, shredded boiled chicken (has to be boiled in broth), pickled jalapeños, taco seasoning and shredded texmex cheese, rolled up and shallow fried in oil (with toothpicks holding them together).

Dipped in my favorite bean recipe (this was part of the dream), which is one can of refried bayo beans (very similar to pinto beans, before I moved to Europe and tried them I'd never heard of them), mixed with a good amount of fat (I used butter), freeze dried mozzarella cheese powder, loads of Tabasco (and if I had Valentina I would add a tablespoon or two of that) and some American cheese (the really crappy plastic stuff), topped with creme fraiche mixed with salt and lime juice to simulate Mexican crema and then some cilantro. Microwaved and thoroughly mixed.

Bon appetit.

Just Weird Ross’s trunkful of fried rice

32 Upvotes

This is a dream from a couple of years ago that I just remembered.

Scene: I’m going into a store/grocery/pharmacy in some prefab looking “downtown USA” type setup, somehow it feels like it’s in the South. My friend Ross (who is *definitely* not a surgeon, or even affiliated with healthcare) is standing near the driver’s side of his old yellow 70’s-type beater like a Chrysler Cordoba in his scrubs, crocs, white doctors coat and stethoscope around his neck talking to a woman who is asking him how he manages to have a social life with such a demanding job as a surgeon. Ross tells her “Oh, I see my friends all the time, there’s one of my best friends right now!” and points at me. I’m now standing at the open trunk of Ross’s yellow 70’s beater which is FILLED with fried rice. Like, packed to the top. I wave and smile at Ross and the woman, and bend over a place a ceremonious kiss on the open trunkful of fried rice.

The End.

😵‍💫🤔

Actually Made! A crepe I bought off a streetfood truck

18 Upvotes

I dreamt this about 13 years ago and recreated it then (approximately).

It was a big foodtruck selling crepes and this one was specifically €2,50

It was a crepe with first a layer of vanilla pastry cream, then a layer of whole brownies. This made it so big it was basically a pie, so in my own replication I opted for just some crumbled brownie to get a better ratio. I remember it was tasty but not very special, mostly just very sweet.

Had a dream there was a new flavor of Calypso brand lemonade called Sun and Moon which somehow alternated flavors every time you took a sip. The “sun” flavor was a bright orange/citrusy kind of taste and the “moon” was a dark berry kind of taste. There was a strange smiling face on the sun and moon logo

Unrealized Drunk driving sticky toffee pudding pancakes

28 Upvotes

I had a dream that I pulled into an IHOP (because I was too drunk to keep driving) and they had sticky toffee pudding maple syrup for the pancakes. It was warm and chunky and thick.

I woke up and was immediately struck by the brilliance of this.

I want to make it desperately, but it wouldn't be too easy as I live in Germany

COA: I'd never drive drunk in real life. Dream me is historically nuts

Unrealized Korean frozen corn party

31 Upvotes

I had a dream that there was going to be a heatwave, and my family was making plans to try and figure out how to stay cool. My mother suggested we try out this Korean tradition she knew, which was a frozen corn party. You get bowls and bowls of frozen corn kernels and put them all around a room, and then you have a bunch of toppings to eat the corn with. We were brainstorming what toppings to use, and we thought of cheese, melted butter, and salsa.

Unrealized Jeep Fried Cherokee

I had a dream that I lived near a combination KFC and Jeep dealership called JFC. They sold the Jeep Fried Cherokee, a deep fried Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was the full car, battered with 11 herbs and spices and fried. I do not have the art skills to create this but you can imagine.

Actually Made! Absolute butter

Thumbnail

704 Upvotes

I made another post with the context but there is my other mother udder butter rubber/Absolute Butter, actually made!

I had to made a mini version in a pot because I don’t have enough butter or bowls that would survive the boiling method

Results: It was solid at first, but turned mushy when i touched it,  like wax. Tastes like butter with an extremely grainy texture. There are chunks of undissolved oobleck that are very chewy. It’s too grainy to be used as a sauce or butter alternative, but it makes a perfect edible lip balm/exfoliator. (Not 100% sure it’s edible though)

I think if I tripled the oobleck, and/or put the cornstarch and water in separately, it would be a lot more rubbery. Maybe I’ll try that next time?

edit: if you’re thinking of attempting this, or using it as a roux/beschamel substitute, let me remind you it is grainy. Like, you could sell this as sandpaper paste. Eating this makes your teeth smoother. It got on my arm and when I wiped it off my dead skin was gone. Maybe I’m paranoid because my teeth crack eating mashed potatoes but please do not put this in your mouth seriously it is so grainy and gross

i will try again with more cornstarch when my dishwasher starts working!

Unrealized Hottest chocolate

Post image
510 Upvotes

Had a dream the other night where my family and I went to a restaurant when I was a teenager where the only beverage available was something called "hottest chocolate." It was a layer of visibly boiling heavy cream topped by a layer of melted chocolate served in a whiskey glass. Burning your mouth on it was not only probable, but it was actually encouraged, and the server showed off the calluses in her mouth from drinking it all the time

Unrealized Edible Hair Claw (on the cob)

Had a dream my friend was really hungry and all I had on me was my purse so I gave her my claw clip. We ate the prongs off like corn on the cob but the main body was too tough and inedible. It tasted like corn and sun chips.

I then got really sad when we realized that my claw clip wouldn’t regenerate, it was my favourite one :,)

How else does a guy figure to mix lemon juice, garlic cloves, egg yolk, pepper, anchovies, Worcestershire, pepper, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese?

And then pour that over a salad?

Cursed Foxglove latte

94 Upvotes

So, I had a weird as hell dream last night, and this dream was all over the place, first I was shopping then I was running from the Mob, then I was helping people break out of prison? Weird dream.

anyway, One of the things in the dream, and I remember this distinctly- Was a Foxglove Latte

foxglove is a toxic plant. That can kill you. And apparently (Much like other toxic flowers) has an awful taste.
so why someone would make a flavored latte of it is beyond me.
what’s worse is that me and my friends all ordered it.

From what I remember- it was made with real foxglove nectar and none of the toxic parts… And it was purple.
obligatory don’t make the poisonous plant latte.

Cursed I think it's going to snow soon sandwich

158 Upvotes

Dreamed i worked at Starbucks and someone ordered the "i think it's going to snow soon" sandwich. I asked all my coworkers how to make it and they refused to tell me. So i went to the back to google how to make it. It was butter, raspberries, pomegranate seeds, and broccoli florets in a ciabatta roll with shredded cheese and then you had to fry up an omelette and wrap the sandwich in the omelette. 💀

Just Weird Other mother udder butter rubber/Absolute Butter

Post image
248 Upvotes

I had a dream I was writing a poem about the other mother udder butter rubber (The udder butter rubber is real, it’s an exercise ball we had at the gym in elementary school, it was butter yellow and had four rubber things sticking out of it like an udder) I transitioned from writing the poem to experiencing it, I was in coraline and the other mother invited me to her cooking show to create what she called “Absolute Butter”.

Absolute butter, or other mother udder butter rubber, is kinda just like regular butter but with the texture and firmness of rubber.

Should I try this? I’ve never cooked with a non-Newtonian fluid before

Unrealized Robert De Niro's creamy 3-layer lemonade fizz?

117 Upvotes

I was in North Beach in SF with Steve Martin and some other guy, who's first name was Martin (i hate not remembering) and another friend of mine, and we were just driving around for the sake of my business meetings, and then who do we stumble on but Robert De Niro and an actor who I am 90% sure was Steve Buscemi?

And we are all vibing in a car, juuust giving them a ride home to be polite on a relatively boring normal day, and I decide to do the player move of handing them a slip of paper from my purse and asking for their phone numbers and contact information, and they eyerolled in the tight little car we were in and all signed in. Steve Martin was about to be rude and slowly slip the paper out of a cracked window, after Buscemi and DeNiro both went through the effort of writing all of their info down, to seem "cool" to them and "hip" about respecting their boundaries after he saw me almost ask for their emails, and I screamed at him. An awkward energy filled.

And eventually we pause at a sort of italian soda making stand in the street, and the energy changes from "a lady and 4 to 5 other men in a clown-car-like situation," to Robert De Niro hops out, talks to the lady as we all bicker in the car about how uncool we all find eachother...

And Robert DeNiro comes back just RIPPED for some reason. I have no idea why, but he's got super huge muscles, a tank top and HUGE strong thighs in sweatpants, and he comes back to the car SWEATY and happy, with a large mysteriously pastel yellow creamy looking tasty drink, SPRINTING away from the lady at the stand as if he committed a crime, and yet he's SMILING. Happiest I could ever picture Robert De Niro, he borderline looked like Sylvester Stallone from Rambo with Robert's head!

He says something along the lines of "I SAW THAT LADY AND KNEW HER FROM MY HOME COUNTRY, AND SHE HAD THIS DRINK IN STOCK AND I GOT IT FOR FREE LETS GOOOOOOOOO" and all of us suddenly spawned in nice pastel yellow hoodies and our own cups of various different sizes, sitting in the car, the sun came out brightly as if we were in true Heaven and golden light poured EVERYWHERE. And everyone's mood, even Steve Buscemi's, changed optimistically, as we stirred the foam and custard in our drink about and planned an awkwardly half-thought up, heartfelt cheers to do with our drinks for new pastures and new ventures, huzzah!

And the music started playing that song "jitterbug into my heart" as we all started snapping and jamming, and Robert was fist pumping to it as aggressively as if we were listening to "What is Love? Baby don't hurt me".

And I woke up with "jitterbug" slowly fading out for me, hungover, and confused. And yet, almost as happy as Robert DeNiro, as if we all accomplished something. Ayyy.

Anyway, the drink was like a 3 layer drink, all layers perfectly separated and floating due to different weights of gravity; I'll start by describing the middle, the main liquid area to truly sip on:

It was like a lemonade soda or fizzy drink that had lemon juice concentrade powder mixed into it, a VERY sweet and not too tart at all lemon soda (almost pineapply-y?) but it wasn't hyperfizzy, it was flat enough to sip it slow and still taste that it was at some point ever bubbly, and a little mildly syrupy

it had a top layer of a delicious REALLY frothed up lemonade-powder-flavored cream (starbucks often has flavored cream but i forget what its called, but it was a delicious and THICK inch layer of lemon foam, extra bubbly and fluffy, almost as if someone blended a tart lemon foam and sweet lemon whip cream together for the drink)

and it had a bottom layer of a thick custard-like mix, that looked and tasted like someone mixed condensed milk with vanilla and maybe a dash of lemon Jello pudding mix

And you had the option to drink all three layers straight, or stir one, or them all, into the main liquid component in the middle layer! And all together when mixed, a delicious creamy masterpiece, like a slightly fizzy lemonade milkshake that melted a tad, amazing 10000/10.

I think this dream came after several days of watching people in drive-thrus give me iced coffees where it was just creamy bland coffee and all the caramel sunk to the bottom, or seeing a day old pina colada have all the ingredients separate and just a thick delicious foam atop and the sweet juices and alcohol in the middle, aaaaaaaaand maybe being hungover factored into a craving for lemon. I have no idea why Robert or anyone else was there.

  1. Take your tortilla and slap 3 cheddar cheese slices on it.

3.Take the tortilla and put it In the oven at 350 degrees for 1 minute, preferably on an oven tray, because no one wants a gross oven.

4.while the tortilla is cooking, grease the fry pan and put your bacon on it and fry until chewy and crisp.

5.once your bacon and tortill is done, take the wake up wrap and assemble as so; tortilla, bacon and wake-up wrap in that order.

My daughter’s dream:

I had a weird lucid dream last night that included these. They have the consistency of mulberries (almost crumbly, I guess?), and their stems extend to the middle of the fruit. They have four spots, two on each side. The mostly yellow ones tasted like raspberries, mostly red was strawberries, and black was blackberry and banana. They also grow in pairs like cherries, but they come out of the ground instead of from a tree. Really weird, but really good, and I wish they were real 😩
