Damn I miss my painkillers. I had an awesome script for them, too. Had to get off of them because of boyfriend. I don't think I can think straight without them.

You're probably not my boyfriend, but I'm just really bored and the thought occurred to me earlier.

You should definitely be careful, especially if you don't want these people's influence in your life, or if you don't want to influence them.

That looks salty as the Dead Sea.

I'm having spaghettini with Earth Balance™ Original Spread® and Huy Fong Foods Sriracha sauce.

My first boyfriend was a waiter. His hourly wage was something around $22.00/hr. That was in Australia, though. A loaf of white, sliced industrial pullman bread is probably something around $6.00 there.

The smell.

It's something like a gritty paste you have to use an insane quantity of to end up with muddy, salty, beany water, that sediments.

It's like eating from quicksands.

That is a valid question.

The composition of blood is actually fairly simple, except for the iron component and proteins.

Miso is a terrible ingredient.

Cashew. Butter.

Fine, they pwn and/or own everything involved.

Unless you have a parrot you haven't eaten yet, I don't see why you'd want to use such a pan.

>>4790138

I think you need a good bit of ye olde ass whooping!

Can't find my brand of tahini anywhere. Probably going to have to go to the ... showroom, I guess? It's made by a local wholesaler and they have a showroom where you can buy and sample all their products.

OK. Enough with the old-inducing bullcrap.

You people and your tofu freezing.

OP, you can use smaller pieces and give it more time. Also use a stronger solution. I've had a fair amount of success brining tofu.

Oh, as fat as the crumbs go...fortunately, McDonald's doesn't have chicken strips here, except in wraps. It's fortunate, because I can eat amazing amounts of chicken strips. I'm talking...several pounds of them.

I think the strips are battered, crumbed, then fried. This is the only way I can really make sense of it, because the industrial process of washing, dredging, washing, crumbing would just be too messy. I think the pieces are coated in a batter stream, then dumped in a crumb drum, before being rotated out to the deep fryer...or something somewhat similar to that.

I agree. McDonald's owns the fucking farms that grow the cucumber that make their pickles along with the processing, packing, transportation, everything.

I used to say that McDonald's hamburgers were pretty much as close as most people could come to farm-fresh food. This belief is currently being re-evaluated.

Did you try turning it off and on again?

I was falling asleep yesterday, and I honestly don't think there are simple tastes. Unless you take, like, 99.9995% pure fructose or something, or pure sodium chloride.

There are so many compounds in anything you eat, that I don't think there are simple tastes.

Just sayan...

I was thinking about the belgian endive salad with walnuts my ex-boyfriend once made, but he refused to give me any.

I think he only cooked for me once, when I was really dopesick. He made me a cheese sandwich or something. I can still see and taste it.

Starfruit is more disappointing than lacking in complexity, though. I think it should be scratched.

I was about to say salt water and simple syrup, but even those are very complex tastes. Is there really a better way to enjoy the complexity of salt than in water? Simple syrup is also very complex, you have the water but on top of that you have the sugars.

I don't think there are any. I could also say eggs, but that's a very complex texture. Avocado can be very complex both ways. Someone mentioned cauliflower, but that also becomes complex when you account maturity and soil. Garden cucumber can be simple in taste, I also think fennel can be a fairly simple taste and texture. I guess apples can also fall in the simple category. Starfruit, but the texture is actually rather interesting.

I dunno.
