And, of course, the girl lies about mushrooms because reasons and they have to break into her house to solve the case.

So this only counts for actual news, right? The q fake news still gets to be there, right? That’s a lot to think about.

This will definitely not make me use TikTok. I can only imagine what kind of garbage people will post on text form. I’m obviously not the target demographic for that platform but I cannot comprehend what people enjoy about it. I had some old coworkers who used to send me tiktoks daily and they were annoying, insane, made no sense. Now put that in text format.

Oh good call I’m going to try some kind of potatoes and onions recipe for when it cools off enough to really cook!

This looks so good! I got a tagine for my birthday last year but haven’t used it as much as I might like because I don’t cook meat and most recipes are for meat dishes. It works really well to cook lentils though.

Idk if you ever read various subreddits or forums about relationships etc but it seems very common now for really nice guys to just out of the blue turn into a woman hating monster and their partners are shocked and appalled because it seems out of character for that person. Social media is really pushing that red pill stuff, and coupled with these types of legal changes, it creates a very dangerous environment for a lot of people to be in.

I use my toaster oven fairly regularly although to be honest it’s usually to reheat pizza. But one of these days I really want to upgrade it to one with a convection oven/air fryer in it. That just sounds like the best thing.

I actually read Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us by Michael Moss quite some time ago and it was really interesting. If this interests you and you haven’t read it, I suggest taking a look at it.

So I meal prep weekly and this week I adapted a Thai soup recipe I have to use as a quinoa salad recipe and it’s really good. 10/10, healthy and delicious.

A lot of ultra processed foods are also ultra palatable foods so they’re high in fat, sugar and salt and very hard to stop eating. They’re also calorie dense so you eat past the point where you might become full with less calorie dense foods. I read this article earlier today and really liked it except that I thought the author went a little light on the judgement against this type of food manufacturing. Yes, we really do live in a world where it can be hard to both find and prepare “real” food, but the consequences of a western or specifically American diet have proven to be pretty intense.

I’m pretty sure that Business Insider is known to not be a very legitimate news source. Whether they run conservative, liberal or other, I don’t know because I don’t normally read it. I appreciate that you posted the link with a very well thought out and rational commentary. I am only commenting to state my opinion that it is probably best for anyone viewing Business Insider links with a grain of salt as you have done since they might not be impartial.

Yikes. I’m really tired of politics and yet the second we let our guard down it’s going to get way worse…

It’s not entirely about demand. They screwed over their supplier and that’s a lot of it. You can buy from underwood ranch directly for $10/bottle plus shipping and they have it in stock so that tells me it isn’t just that jalapenos are unavailable. Maybe jalapenos are only unavailable to Huy Fong because nobody wants to sign a contract to grow for them.

I’ve tried it and it’s not exactly the same but I’m also not incredibly picky and liked it. There are also other brands of Sriracha in the store I shop at not so I’m just going to buy those. I don’t want to support Huy Fong (or however it’s spelled) specifically after what I heard about how they did underwood dirty. I mean if I find it at the store and it’s a good price I’ll buy it because this isn’t one of those social issues I need to be 100% principled on but I’m not going out of my way to get it.

Africa is, like, huge. So saying Russia is small because it fits within Africa doesn’t make it sound small to me.

It would not work for grocery shopping or sticking to the fridge like your idea, but I bought a blank recipe book and I’ve been writing in recipes I like with whatever modifications I make so it’s the version of the recipe I like and it’s great. I don’t need to do a meal plan though because I just meal prep one thing for the whole week.

I meal prep on Sunday but I’m also ok with eating the same thing 4 or 5 days in a row. If you aren’t ok with that then meal prepping is going to be a lot more work. I also strongly suggest making extra and freezing some in individual portions so if you do run out of food, or just really aren’t digging what you made, you can grab something out of elthe freezer.

And let’s not underestimate the power of making your own frozen junk food. Like frozen burritos? Make a pile of burritos (which is great because you can put exactly what you like and make them healthier) then wrap them individually in tin foil and freeze. Make a frozen pizza in a square casserole dish and freeze pieces. Lasagna also freezes really well. It’s a lot of work up front but it will keep for months so you have something easy to grab when you want it.

You can also precut things like vegetables if you will want to eat veggies later in the week, or if you’ll want to cook something fresh later but know you won’t do it if you have to spend a lot of time on it.

I meal prep every week and this week I made California rolls and miso edamame. Yummy!

o.O I certainly did reply to the wrong comment.

I’ve never eaten a peanut or peanut butter that I thought tasted bitter, and it definitely wouldn’t go rancid after 1 day, although if it’s the kind of PB with oil on top you should refrigerate it after you open it. But is it possible it was old, expired and already rancid when you bought it? If most people don’t eat peanut butter where you are, it could have sat on the shelf for a long time and went bad.

If you didn’t like it then there’s no reason to torture yourself by trying to like it, but if you do want to try again, get another brand and see if you still think it’s bitter. Make sure to check the date on it too to make sure it’s fresh. That just doesn’t sound right so it sounds like something was wrong with that jar. I’m saying this as someone who has eaten a lot of different kinds of peanut butter and liked them all lol ;)
