I normally avoid clicking on links and instead form my opinions based entirely on the comments, but in this case I went ahead and clicked. This article really spoke to me. I feel like this author truly gets me. What a joy to read. 10/10.
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.
Yeah those are definitely from that time period where games were starting to get more modern but are still very dated by today’s standards.
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.
The only single player ones I’ve ever played have been 1 and 7. 1 was…old. The mechanics and everything remind me of Dragon Warrior but I kind of honestly just prefer Dragon Warrior (although I guess that one is also nostalgic because I remember watching my dad play it as a kid).
7 is much more modern but still pretty old at this point. It has a good story and interesting characters. It’s been a while and I don’t remember what the actual gameplay was like but I don’t remember it being turn based.
I’ve also watched my BF play quite a bit of Final Fantasy Tactics and that’s just what it sounds like, a very tactical turn based game. Not for me but some people really like that style of game so that’s something to look into if it appeals to what you’re looking for.
I also played a little bit of Final Fantasy 14 online and it was fun, although not the styles of MMO I personally prefer. But again it’s all personal preference and if you like MMOs you should look it up because you might want to consider that instead of one of the single player games.
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.
Seriously though? They bought Bethesda and look what they’re doing there. Now they get to add another massive developer as if they weren’t already ridiculously huge? This monopoly stuff has to end. I don’t just mean gaming either. Like 5 companies control our entire food supply. There can only be one internet provider in any area. It’s insane.
And, of course, the girl lies about mushrooms because reasons and they have to break into her house to solve the case.
