 the broth they sell at the store is way too thin. boullion is much better
 because it's so concentrated. think of it as "essence of X" when you have
 "broth of vegetables" or "broth of carrots and onions" or whatever... can help
 make it easier to cook something decent by using general flavors

 "better than boullion" is a great way to turn flavorless broth into something
 tasty.
 
 heck you could just use boullion, but "better than boullion" is better.
 
 Just don't use broth. Takes up too much space.

 a box of tri-color rotini
 
 a good spoonfull of better than boullion italian
 
 a medium amount of large colby-jack cheese cubes (about one for every other
 bite)
 
 boil with just enough water for the noodles to start sticking to the pan once
 entirely cooked and add cheese, butter, and top with generous dashes of smoked
 paprika and lime juice.
 
 don't strain the noodles. have just enough water left to have a thin sauce.
 
 if vegetables are desired, firm carrots and peas (read: frozen or fresh, not
 canned) or diced/shredded onions.

 I love cooking. My favorite food is "melange" also called "gruel" by the less
 culinary people in my life. It consists primarily of a rice or noodle base,
 plus a bunch of other ingredients (usually sauteed) that are quite nutritious.
 Then, you season in a way such that it tastes delicious and savory and BOOM
 you have the perfect food.
 
 Well, not as good as steamed eggs, but still pretty good.

 heat makes things squishy. it works from the outside in, and the longer you      │
 cook it (meaning, the lower the temperature) the more the heat can spread        │
 through - meaning if you want an even consistency, do lower heat for longer      │
 periods. if you want a different texture on the outside compared to the          │
 inside, do higher temperatures over less time. just make sure you devote extra   │
 attention to stirring to make sure you don't burn it.                            │
 seasoning is sorta like a coating / dusting that you can apply to food. the      │
 longer it rests on the food (and the more the food is porous / cooked) the       │

 the seasoning to be distinct from the flavor of the food item, then add the      │
 seasoning toward the end. if you want them to combine into one combo-flavor,     │
 then add the seasoning early.                                                    │

 don't know how to make decent rice and beans?
 
 get the heartiest vegetable soup you can find from the store and cook some
 jasmine rice and lentils in a pot. You should be able to do both in the same
 pot. cook them like noodles by boiling some water and adding the rice and
 beans. add some salt to the water. make it salty like the sea.
 
 then drain the rice and beans once you taste test them to be done. be patient.
 add the hearty, savory soup to the mix alongside a big hunk of butter.
 
 boom, protein, calories, nutrients. all in one meal. the more vegetables in
 the soup, the better, and if you're feeling fancy you can sautee some of your
 own instead of soup by dicing them into inch large chunks and throwing them in
 a pan on medium heat with some butter and whatever seasonings you want for a
 while, stirring only when they start to stick. Just enough to brown them, not
 burn them.
 
 butter and salt and garlic and boullion are your friends. don't do too much,
 if you notice them a lot then it's too much.

 hard boiled eggs are some of the greatest foods imaginable.
 
 they come in their own wrapper, which means they're better than everything
 except fruit.
 
 and they're savory, which means they're better than fruit!

 Highly recommend "Better than Boullion" - if your recipe involves boiling
 water, unless it's tea there's a good chance that some broth-in-a-jar could
 make it taste better.
 
 Did you know you can boil oats like noodles? Yeah that's... that's basically
 how you make oatmeal. Use less water than with noodles, though.
 
 EDIT: Also, add some bits of nutrition like dried fruit, nuts that have been
 soaking in clean water overnight, nutritional yeast, dehydrated soup mix
 (delicious), or frozen vegetables.

 when you run out of an ingredient you use often (like butter, seasoning, or
 flour) put the container by your shoes.
 
 then, when you go to the store, look through all the empty containers and make
 a mental list.
 
 when you get home and are putting things away, if you forgot something just
 leave the old container by the door. everything else can be recycled / trashed.

 did you know that you can steam eggs instead of hard boiling them? it's much
 easier, and the eggs are easier to peel as well.
 
 you need one of those strainers that fits inside a pot. or you could probably
 jury rig something with a plate and a cup, but make sure they're heat
 resistant.
 
 boil some water, put the eggs in the strainer for 11 minutes with a lid on,
 and then cover them in cold water for a bit. boom easy peasy.

 does anyone know of a recipe that uses only flour, butter, yeast, eggs, and
 salt? It doesn't need to use every ingredient, but those are easy to acquire.
 
 ideally with the ability to include nuts or dried fruit or something else
 nutritious.
 
 the requirements include the ability to cook it using only a rice-cooker (or
 crock pot, or other kind of slow-cooking ceramic dish which heats from all
 directions at once)
 
 in addition, it must NOT need kneading. It must be able to be cooked passively
 without attention. The fewer steps, the better.

 in the past, people could eat canned food not necessarily because of the way
 that it was canned, but simply the fact that it was sealed and comprised of a
 liquid form that was inhospitable to bacterial life. Like vinegar with
 pickles! But only for the things that were meant to last for a while - if it
 was just for next month, then you don't need BPA liners or microplastic
 dissolvers or any of that junk. Just a fully recyclable can that vacuum seals
 itself shut using the power of machinery and heat.

 When you run out of a seasoning, put the empty bottle in a special place that
 you can see before going to the store.
 
 When I carried a purse, I'd put it in there. Could also go in the pocket of a
 sweatshirt or jacket that you wear when doing errands. Maybe even just on the
 ledge next to your shoes. Something that reminds you to get this particular
 seasoning, and no others. It's easy to get others...

 a jar. Then sautee some vegetables and throw them on top of rice. Then go to
 the store, read the back of a tasty-looking package, and make the recipe it
 suggests.
 
 Then you know how to cook. Don't bother with online recipes.
 
 Also, more butter, more salt.

 food tastes better with more nutrients in it.                                    │
 when food is grown with the bare minimum soil, and bred to look better but       │
 uptake fewer nutrients, it will taste worse because your taste buds light up     │
 for vitamins but sleep for textures and colors.                                  │
 Massive monocrop algriculture has allowed us to feed billions of people (well,   │
 not all of them) and yet it's unhealthy because the soil is tilled, killing      │
 the vibrant ecosystem that lives in all soil, and then it is supplemented with   │
 specific nutrients that cause plants to fruit faster and larger.                 │
 But larger isn't always better. much the same way that hardwood is slower        │
 growing as it takes longer to deposit the carbon and nutrients in the denser     │
 walls of the bark, so too is fast-growing food less healthy as there's less      │
 time to uptake nutrients (that might not even be present in the soil)            │
 food tastes better when it's good for you.                                       │

 Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever

 may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
 ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
 mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
 collective mind co-re-assigns.

 if you're just learning how to cook, I highly recommend "Ms. Dash" and "Better
 than Boullion" - focus on getting the ingredients and mechanics right, and
 then work on seasoning them.
 
 Level 2 is paprika, garlic powder, onion flakes, lime juice, and red pepper
 flakes for spice.
 
 level 3 is learning the difference between basil, oregano, parsley, and other
 herbs.
 
 be careful with salt and pepper. They can do a lot, but they can also easily
 do too much. better to salt to taste.
 
 also, MSG is wonderful for savory dishes. Your body breaks it down into sodium
 in your stomach acid so imagine you're adding salt when considering MSG for
 healthy proportions.

 I like Lindt Lindor truffles from Costco because they seem fancy, but they're
 really not.
 
 They're just a chocolate shell with a hole in it that is filled with a softer
 chocolate and then capped. Easy peasy. Can be made in a factory. But still
 feel fancy somehow - perhaps because of the marketing? Or maybe the decadence.
 anyway they're cheap because they're made in a factory, as all things should be
 
 it's like Factorio - if you don't have a production line set up for a certain
 type of good, then you are not manufacturing that type of good, and it is not
 available.

 @user-5 It's still best to make vegan food without substitutes. They're tasty
 and delicious, (which is new), but they're not that great for you and kind of
 expensive. If your normal diet is mostly fresh fruits and vegetables with some
 lentils and grains, you're on the right track imho. But still they can be fun
 sometimes, and the melted vegan cheese enables nachos and mac&cheese so...
 worth it

 Your body is a river, from your mouth to your exits
 Throughout there are many pathways and shores
 As the tide goes up, the color of concentration goes up
 And all four of you are made clear
 
 Each act of consumption
 is a ride down the river,
 though broken into slivers,
 and changed beyond recognition
 
 The color is what defines the third eye
 and beauty is beheld, what joys to be felt
 While secrecy is bold, it's often held
 So worry less and just go with the fold

 this comic, except instead of "trans enough" it should say "good enough"
 
 a poor plan executed at the right time, in the right place is better than a
 great plan that sits in your heart as you see someone who needs your love in
 pain.
 
 sometimes the best way to figure out "what the fuck is wrong with me" is to
 satisfy your emotional needs to be good by being helpful, even if you're not
 quite sure what "helpful" means. It's the thought that counts.
 
 Personally I think that if you're feeling bad and people offer you kindness,
 you should take that kindness (in whatever form it be) and use it to bolster
 yourself as you're "really going through it". Even just a touch of affection
 like a like or a ❤️ can be comforting in awful situations.
 
 reject normalcy
 
 embrace queerness
 
 define your own story with your own words
 
 embody your soul in the moments that stand out amongst the backdrop of
 "tuesday afternoons" and "waiting for the bus"

 gold, as a substance, was necessary for the birth of pottery because it's
 malleability and general sparkly and desirable demeanor meant it was easy and
 encouraged to create pretty things with it like statues and stuff. then, when
 it's rarity became known, because people kept throwing it in the river like
 the rest of their trash because they're dumb, people already knew how to make
 things and thought "hmmm we need an alternative substance" and then pottery
 was hardened by the fire
 
 "oh no it's too hot it's cracking let's pour water on it - ah gosh it made a
 bunch of smoke, nuts. oh huh that's kinda cool it's just sitting there in the
 statue making jumping motions without moving, wow amazing it looks like it's
 alive as it's steaming like I breathe"

 playing one of my 4 gameboys, reading some of my books or journals, using

 don't mind her claws she can fight and that's kinda fun) watching something on
 the TV, talking with other people, making / eating food, um... sleeping... and
 "sleeping"... idk what else tho. Drawing? Getting stoned? I have lots of bad

 Vegetables are delicious! There's lots of nutrients. However vegetables, while
 can be eaten raw, are much more useful for your body molecularly if you cook
 them first. I think it breaks down the cellular walls so that your body can
 digest the juicy tasty nutrients locked within.
 
 Vegetables also don't have calories, that you get from things with vitality.
 You are what you eat, and sometimes if you need it you might want to try meat.
 Me? I'm a vegetarian, that's why I'm so skinny! Carnivores have it so easy, I
 have to eat about 2x as much rice-and-beans by weight.
 
 At least I'm not vegan - I can supplement with fats like butter and cooking
 oil, which are useful when combined with nutrients, as they allow your body to
 store them for later. Just make sure you eat enough calories which are energy
 for your body, otherwise it won't have the chemical energy to store said
 nutrients in your latent fat cells. Like, building up a pantry, or a squirrel
 saving nuts for winter.

 people have been pretty stingy lately with hot dogs. kinda makes a racoon guy
 think there's not enough "pork" snacks circulating in the economy. oh look
 turns out like 50 people own 90% of the buns, which is why nobody can make
 anything edible anymore.
 
 yeesh how's a cool cat supposed to make money if people only offer you "jobs"
 that make "dollars" - what good is a dollar, and why do we need so many of
 them? I just want a house, just want food for myself and my cat. surely
 there's nothing wrong in that impulse, the desire to be as I am?
 
 people tend to work best on what interests them, and the hardest when they're
 otherwise bored. capitalist enslavement provides neither of those.

 pretend this is an allegory for social media.

 yeah that's why I said pretend.
 
 okay imagine that you are sitting in a rock in a forest.
 
 far away, about 100 feet away, there are other people, but you can't see them
 because the underbrush is sooooo dense. they are also sitting on rocks.
 
 you can speak to them, and share your thoughts - but you don't know exactly
 where they're coming from because the sound has to bounce around off so many
 different plants and such.
 
 [that's not how that works] shut up
 
 so, if you want to say anything important, it's important to have the right
 tone, because people 2 or 3 clearings away can't really make out your words -
 but they might hear your tone if you yell very loud.
 
 the energy of the space you inhabit is the only thing that really matters. the
 words that you say are just snickering to a friend, but the expression on your
 face, the beating of the drum of your heart that reaches forth... that's what
 matters most.

 has a pleasant day. Make sure you eat nutrients and stay hydrated and do your
 stretches and work on your posture and all that.
 
 vegetables have minerals, fruits have vitamins, rice-and-beans or meat have
 protein, and oils and fats have calories. try and eat a lot of different

 green vegetable are not necessarily the same nutritionally)

 Do you ever wonder why you can't remember anything after being stoned? Why the
 words you write down, oh so profound in the moment, turn to silliness and
 illusion upon coming off your high mont-vantage? Of course, dear reader,
 because all things are defined in waves.

 the pen is mightier than the sword because a single line can authorize any
 number of deaths.
 
 and, with equal regard, dream of vivid new artistry or calculate
 impossibilities or dazzle us with displays of these or any number of
 brilliances to believe of these.
 
 a firm grasp on your sword and a pen that cuts sharper to the truth than any
 other knife
 
 these are the tools to achieve the wielding of force, of might.
 
 to wield might is to fail it, but sometimes, we can't do better.
 
 power is penance. It's hard to bear such weights.

 good thing it'll never happen because those dinguses can't accept defeat and
 will never tactically retreat

 maybe something to keep in mind for 4 years from now. eyes on the prize for
 now means our eyes aren't to our flanks.
 
 what else could they do that would come out of left field?

 Sometimes people need to think about things for a while. Let it marinate so
 they can understand it a bit more. Fucking fascists keeping people from
 thinking.

 you don't have to write poetry to write notes. The poetics are just practice
 for when secrecy is intended.
 
 OR IS IT THE REAL THING? who can say.

 I know that when you recycle 3d printed things the color tends to meld
 together and it looks kinda meh... but hey at least it's recycled.
 
 though recycled filament is probably pretty rare still, so it's probably not
 the kind you're thinking of.
