Whuuut? I thought white wuz right?!

These people are the cesspool of the world. I despise racism.

Awe I’m on SNAP. You’re right, you don’t get a lot and it is complicated AF. I downloaded your cookbook. Thank you. The recipes look great!

I had a whole post typed up but my app crashed. Lol.

America’s Test Kitchen has a video on this and it’s pretty interesting: https://youtube.com/watch?v=rzL07v6w8AA

At 2:12 she caramelizes onions in a pan. I like ATK because they explain the science behind it.

edit: I’d suggest watching the whole video because it’s pretty dang interesting. Hope this helps! :⁠-⁠)

Lye would only be used in the soponification of oil in hard or bar soap. Sodium hydroxide is used for soft soap. So if that’s something you’re looking for, I’d recommend Dr. Bronzer’s Sal Suds. It’s specially made for dishes and laundry as the reaction is 1:1. This is in contrast to bath products (ie bar soap or liquid soap, not like dove but like ones you could get at the farmer’s market, etc), which do something called super fatting. Super fatting is an out of balance reaction, leaving some unsuponified left over oil for moisturizing. Sometimes, laundry bars and KOH soft soap can even have a reaction that would leave a very small bit of lye or Sodium hydroxide unreacted for cleaning purposes, only sometimes. That’s why it’s not recommended to use them in the shower as they can be drying on the skin.

I realize you’re referring to detergents in your post, but I thought I’d clear that up. I make soap. Lol.

Dr. Bronzer’s Sal Suds is pretty great and it has a very subtle pine smell that doesn’t stick around.

edit: clarification

As if the labeling on the product wasn’t enough to warn the person it was spicy… What’s next, a ban on chili peppers? Does that need a label and a ban too? Lol I find this very silly, but I also eat Serrano peppers almost every day.

Right, that’s what I was thinking. They need to fire their marketing company, because almost certainly it’s tied to inventory and expiry dates. That’s why at the restaurant I work at, our family meal is always something bizarre. Like last night it was pasta with a bachemel, grilled potato cubes, and fried chicken… All mixed together. 😫

Sounds really great!

Cooking rice in msg water is really good too. Same concept.

YUM!

It doesn’t have to be cruel. I grew up on a sustainable farm. I agree with you however, it’s the culture that has decided meat or nothing and that’s why it’s cruel.

At least you can have the freedom to be aggravated by a progressive. I live in Texas with corrupt politicians leading our state. Ever hear of ERCOT? I have, daily through text messages to “conserve energy or else”. Just fix the fucking grid hot wheels. Stop wasting money on idiotic floating barriers that are illegal in the Rio Grande. I’m here for someone that wants to at least attempt to change something.

The owner of Patagonia is also doing that.

I was prepping onions for a dice at work and somehow managed to cut off the root end of all my onions without noticing. I think i was about 3-4 in before i noticed. Lol i dumb. I had to restart I was obviously not paying attention. (I like to peel all i need then go back and dice em all up)

Yeah in the article they state:

And Korkerd is optimistic. “We have something like this in Thailand,” she said. “We want people in America and Denver to try something new from Asia, and we don’t see this in any way yet.”

I’d try it.

Oh yeah! I have a tiny jar in my pantry. It’s great!

I got the job! I updated my post. Thanks for the positive energy! :⁠-⁠)

Thank you! Fortunately my partner is in service. Funny i went to my favorite family owned French restaurant and they were like, kitchen? Hell no! (They were bartenders) lol I’m excited. It’s also a local place where I’m working. They are opening a second location.

As for EA. It depends on the studio or the group. I worked centrally and it sucked, but I also work for BioWare and that was great. I stayed on so long because the insurance is really really good.

Holy shit thank you for this. I really appreciate it .

edit: i do intend on still doing tech as time allows. The information you’ve given me is invaluable. Thank you again.

I really- appreciate you guys, just fyi. I would have joined your sever but I’m good where I’m at. I’m glad i can post on yours.

I have my partner to make sure that doesn’t happen. He’s pretty observant.

Also I’m grounding myself by visiting my sister in a few days. She’s my only living relative. It will be needed.
