You should try, it’s inexpensive and awesome drunk food.

To balance my fruit and veggie babble we have the following confession. Could not concentrate on actual work until I went to the dollar store for a Reeses’s cup.

Some are, yes but I don’t want to stereotype. Some just can’t bear the thought of sacrificing a life for food (even though migrant workers suffer all the time for that tomato) and some think it’s what lesbians are supposed to do.

I wasn’t aware that I was insulting you. That wasn’t my intention. I really thought we were just having a discussion about why we choose to eat the way we do.

I love that the World Instant Noodles Association is a thing.

Huh, I wonder what they used in place of patis? In theory, pancit can be vegan but the fish sauce would be hard to replace.

Couldn’t the same thing be said about Graceland back in the day?

They can’t even get chicharon right. Porkrinds, my ass.

If you have a rice cooker, I suggest dumping frozen vegetables in with the rice water-not mixing but letting them float on top. Total instant meal.

Actually, I haven’t really thought much about it because I’m one of the Americans that call all bags of noodles with flavor packets ramen and have actively ignored anyone explaining the difference to me because they only bring them up when I’m hungry and don’t have time for their nonsense, lol

I think that the problem with almonds is when growers cultivate them in areas they were never meant to grow in to start with, like Arizona who has some weird subsidies for that sort of thing. In that case, the amount of water needed is at least doubled, tripled because of evaporation.

I just found that out and was going to edit my previous post but I got distracted by this article:

But I will, lol.

You get that I’m addressing a mostly American audience that colloquially refers to any packet of noodles with a flavor packet as ramen, right?

My first thought is that some desperate ramen company is paying her to shill for the, heh.

I love your liveblogs. I’m on the west coast and it makes me feel like a time traveler.

I’m partial to Melinda’s Hot Sauce for obvious reasons ;)

Agreed but restaurant ramen isn’t that difficult to make either.

I like to control the size of my salt bomb.

I’ve learned that insects will ignore you if you don’t show fear. If you’re calm, they’ll live you alone. It was hard to learn, they freak me out.
