The ticket is to get into cuisines that call for little or no meat in the first place. Meat substitutes are often disappointing. I’ve gotten super into Indian food. Freakin’ delicious and you’re not missing a thing if you stick to the veg side of the cook books. And it’s not as complicated as a lot of westerners…

Kidney beans! You’re not making that chili from dried beans in a slow cooker, are you? Kidney beans contain a compound that is (very) mildly toxic to humans and will mess up your stomach. Boiling them for 10+ minutes will break down whatever that compound is, but slow cookers don’t get hot enough to do that. (canned…

Yes! apparently the gut bacteria that process meat well are different from the gut bacteria that process starchy things like legumes well. The meat bacteria give off a lot of gas when fed starches. But if you stick with it long enough to actually change your gut biome, the problem pretty much goes away. A gradual…

Well, he’s an addict who has been struggling with sobriety lately... Having shit like that to work through is going to put a strain on any relationship.

I saw that in a theater that had little clusters of couches and overstuffed chairs instead of normal seats and served beer by the pitcher. A great time

They won’t let the characters be openly queer because they make bank on exporting these movies to more socially conservative parts of the world where that wouldn’t fly. That’s it. I guess that’s what we’ve got fanfic for

True, but put on some sunnies next time you go out in the cold masked up and, unless you’re wearing a hospital fitted N-95, you’ll discover that yours isn’t sealed properly either. (The nose wires! They do nothing!)

Is that why the tetanus shot sucks so much? I hate shots with a firey passion but the COVID shot was nothing, I seriously barely felt it.

how successful are these newsletters anyway? I cannot imagine wanting to read a website in newsletter form. These days email is for eCommerce receipts and spam - it’s where you send things you *don’t* want to read

My thoughts exactly

When my state opened up I followed the internet’s advice to look in Republican areas near me. The main health system in a red county an hour away from my city had dozens of appointments just sitting there for anybody. I told all my friends. Shots aren’t for another week, but I’m jazzed.

Why are there no doors in this house? Seriously, not one internal door. And from the front door it’s a straight shot up the stairs to the bedroom. You’re trying to get some sleep while hubby is on hour 86 of their Dark Shadows marathon and even if they move down to the basement (with the carpet placed lovingly right…

A summer camp I worked at had a bunch of old Gunne Sax dresses in the costume closet and it was all I could do not to steal every one of them.

Actually perfect for a tiny studio. It’s the only piece of furniture you would need.

It makes a big difference - If you just look at the data on transmission rates where neither person is masked, one is masked, or both are masked, it’s pretty clear. Obviously an unmaksed party is riskier than being sub-optimally masked at the grocery store, but why wouldn’t you lower your risk as much as you can? You…

Having a box of tampax in his bathroom = cool dude

Ok, I was going to be like “boiling raw chicken in water”? That’s called poaching, that’s a thing. But then I watched the video... Hmmm.... Yeah, we do need to teach people How To Build Flavor 101

Yeah, Reddit has a reputation as a cesspool, but it is entirely possible to exist solely in the wholesome corners of reddit.

Ah, but remember that property taxes in California don’t go up. They only change when the property changes hands. She bought for 190k, that place is taxed like a 3-bedroom in Boise.

God, I actually thought that Lakynn meme thing was satire. Because nobody could seriously... right?
