Ooh. I adore me a grain salad, and I wonder if adding an Instant Pot to my kitchen would prompt more Sunday afternoon make ahead lunches for the week.

*chef kiss*

What, yeah, that was my conclusion. I just ... I just needed to get there the long way.

It’s more like his clone. Like what happens when you take a cutting of a plant and re-root it. It’s got the same genetic structure, right? It’s like reproduction by budding.

I mostly just slice off the cheeks (the wide sides on either side of the pit) and then peel the skin off with my hands (Not viable, I understand, if you’re allergic to the skin). This has the benefit of taking most of the stringy outer flesh so you end up with big chunks of fruit that won’t get all stuck in your teeth.

It’s not like I don’t drink! I’m just a lightweight and I’ll make myself sick. And then wake up the next day feeling fresh as a daisy. It’s very odd.

Have you tried the Pacific brand tomato soup that comes in a cardboard carton? I just tried it for the first time recently, and I really like it. I got the tomato basil, haven’t tried the basic tomato, but it wasn’t too sweet for me.

• Do you have a go-to “I’m sickly” soup? When I had the flu a month ago, the only thing I wanted to eat was the egg drop soup from the Chinese restaurant around the corner. I made my partner go get it for me. It may become a sicky staple, now that I know it’s there and good.

Oh yes. I haven’t made homemade pizza since I lost access to my mom’s bread machine and haven’t bought another one. But it’s so great to dump some ingredients in and let it make you some dough for pizza crust or doing whatever you want with after.

You are so, so, so right. I can’t do counting diets. I can’t. If there’s something I can count, I will count it, and then I will quit the diet because it makes me feel crazy.

Fishes? I did discover pork rinds but my mouth wanted them to be slightly chewier, instead of the dryest crunchiest things. A local chicken strip joint near me serves fresh ones. I love fries so much though.

When I was trying low carb (a relatively short-lived experiment, but one I went all-in on for a couple of months), I kept hearing about kohlrabi as being a great vessel for dips. Low carb has a dearth of particularly satisfying dippables, so I looked. And I looked. And I looked.

Ohh yes. Any kind of dieting kicks my anxiety brain into high gear. I tend towards hunger, though. Cutting carbs did reduce my appetite. But it made me feel crazy, and I love fries anyway. I feel like learning to eat normally is a ship long sailed.

I dunno about pie crust, but I’ll be making that quiche in a frozen crust from the store in short order. Sounds delicious. :)

That’s fair! I didn’t want to hear ANY criticism of the movie when I walked out of it, because I just wanted to bask in it. I’m sure there is perfectly valid criticism—the filming of the action scenes comes to mind.

I would be fine with literally any excuse to get more Shuri on the big screen. She stole every scene and I adored her.

Personally I bought a wake up light because it’s impossible for me to get up in the dark in the winter. I don’t use it year round, but simulating a sunrise during the dark parts of the year is unbelievably helpful for me. If you don’t have that problem, then it’s probably not a product you’d benefit from. And that’s…

I’m annoyed because I want an Apple Watch but I like my Android phone.

I think you’re in the clear on this one. No dick jokes that I remember, and the women in this movie are astonishing. Definitely a movie I’d want to show to my 8 year old if I had one. :)

I’m also a software developer. Those people running into windows? They’re not doing that because they’re thinking about work. They’re running into windows while reading Twitter. I’m not currently distracted from my work by the imperfection in my work area. I’m distracted from my work by commenting on Gizmodo, and by…
