seconding marzipan!

Soy sauce or fermented bean paste can also work if you need some umami funk

Seriously, people, just get a tube of it. It’ll last forever, and you can add it whenever you need it. I usually have a tube of that, as well as a half-full can of it with some aluminum foil on top somewhere in the fridge.

(That’s royal assent, as in agreement, not ascent, as in rise.)

Why are you reducing this to anything to do with “shaming”? As if there is anything wrong with the truth: Eating poorly is a terrible thing. Seemingly well-fed people can literally die of malnutrition or bad eating habits. Poor nutrition, whether by choice or from poverty, leads to many, many illnesses and premature…

It’s okay but we have better butter in Ireland 

I personally find it extremely odd that Trump knows the official name of Germany. 

The apple = coke thing is untrue. Yes it is still sugar, and it is probably the closest unprocessed food to a soda. But it’s unprocessed fructose bound by fibers. The body processes this differently. It still has to digest, break down, and process those calories in a way that consuming a processed sugar liquid just…

It’s similar to disaster capitalists, so those who are deliberately aimed towards gaining power only through complete tragedy. In this case many diehard Corbyn fans see No Deal Brexit, a return to violence in NI, and general disarray as necessary to bring about the country they want because they know they won’t win an…

This is pretty silly all around. I would not trust most doctors to be knowledgeable enough on creatine to make a recommendation. In fact, I would not trust most doctors to make specific nutrition recommendations unless it’s specifically to treat a certain ailment or they are specialists. In general, doctors do not get…

Because we really needed worse relations with Iran, who correctly…

sincere, quality service > faked smile

Charges against the man who allegedly shot her in the stomach, Ebony Jamison, were filed and then dismissed.

I have always made my Negronis with dead equal parts gin, vermouth, and Campari. No garnishes.

Yup, I do this with my salad dressings. I also added a dash or two of lemon bitters to lemon frosting (to go on top of vanilla cupcakes) a few weeks ago. Stopped the icing from being overly sweet and added a little nuance of flavour. 

Yes, it’s in the name, *dead*lift, lifting from a dead position.

Oof. That one was super obvious from the beginning, too, but I guess it gave an excuse to do something different.

“Harris was a prosecutor, which means she was a cop.”

‘they’ve come out heavily in favour of Shamima Begum’s right to Legal Aid (this is monetary aid for those in little income to access representation) to appeal having her citizenship revoked’

*The smile quickly turns to a frown when she realizes Brexit has added several more steps to the plan, one being ‘stop Brexit’*
