• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

What are you baking today (2026)?

I used to make pies from my left over turkey and ham.
Short crust bottom, puff pastry top.

Puff pastry is hard to make, so my pie crust is very easy to make. One stick of butter, one cup of flour, and then 1/2 cup of ice cold water.
 
That product doesn’t sound good. Bioengineered food ingredients.
This is why I don’t buy ready made products except ice cream.
 
And puff pastry!
No, not good. I'm a label reader.

Actually, puff pastry's not that difficult at all - roll, fold, leave, repeat, freeze if wanted. I do buy ready made where it's good quality :)
