  • Supercook for recipes with filters and based on ingredients you have on hand.

    Really helpful. I tried probably 6 apps a year ago, including Paprika, and nothing came close. Voice to text for adding ingredients is awesome when you come back from the grocery store.

    When looking for recipes, you can spice things up by filtering for recipes where you’re only missing one, two, or three ingredients too, which really opens things up.

    This past week, it suggested some amazing dishes I hadn’t tried before. One was a tofu dish with 6 cloves of garlic with skin on, onions, red pepper flakes, lime, and super firm tofu. Delicious over basmati rice.

    The other was a pecan streusel coffee cake. Didn’t even know I had ingredients to make this. Freaking delicious.

    The recipes pull from across the Internet and they do a great job removing the fluff to show you just the recipe, but if their coding messes up you can always go directly to the recipe source too.

    You can favorite recipes of course too.

    Finally you can start a shopping list there too. So let’s say you’re browsing for some new recipes and you have that filter on for “missing 1 ingredient”. Simply add it to your shopping list along with whatever else you need. If you are diligent about updating your pantry in the app as you use up ingredients, you can also just review all food you have and use the app to keep building your shopping list for the rest of your normal supermarket trips.

    It’s an all around great app and totally free without ads. I assume they sell your pantry data and grocery list data to stay afloat. Which… I really don’t care about.





  • I’m still trying, but I found this gem and I just had to share: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_and_Dirty_Duck

    The plot:

    Willard Isenbaum, a lonely insurance man with wild sexual fantasies, decides to ask out the new secretary, Susie, whom he has only known for a day and to whom he has never spoken. He spends the entire morning before work fantasizing about having sex with her, but his attempts to approach her fail. His female boss sends him to investigate a claim filed by Painless Martha, an aging tattoo artist, who works in the city. Martha believes in a Ouija board message saying that she will be “killed by a bomb delivered by a wizard on Tuesday”.

    When Willard tells her that the insurance company will not pay until her death, she dies of a heart attack [after an explosion noise]. Her will stipulates that her killer must take care of her duck. After the duo spend a night in jail, the duck takes Willard to a brothel. After a wild night of partying, they wind up in the desert, where the duck dresses Willard in women’s clothing in an attempt to get a ride. After several encounters with an old prospector dying of thirst, a racist police officer, a lesbian couple, and a short Mexican “bandito”, they are finally picked up by a trucker.

    Back at his apartment, Willard creates a makeshift sex object, which the duck eats. Shortly after, Willard discovers that the duck is female, and has sex with her. The following morning, Willard and the duck go to Willard’s job, where Willard has sex with his female boss and quits his job shortly after. Willard and the duck leave, and the movie ends with Willard saying that the duck was a good duck after all.>
