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.

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

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.

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.

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.

If you want to learn to cook, start with a sandwich. Then spaghetti sauce from
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.

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.

you need one of those strainers that fits inside a pot. or you could probably

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.

@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

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...

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.

some of the best spaghetti sauces I've ever made have not been stewed for
hours in a marinara.
Instead, they were formed from tomatoes that had been locally grown within my
own state. Helps that I live in a green place, but the most important part is
not the climate but the proximity. Greenhouses are just as tasty as sunlight
and warmth.
instead, I seared them, or rather just cooked them for a short time, and the
result was something that did not taste gross and watery, but instead fresh
and fruity. Like putting mango in salsa, you don't initially think it'll work
until you try it.
That being said, you should cook canned tomatoes for at least 20 minutes on
medium to low heat. In doing so, the flavor profiles will break down and meld
together as the constituent forms of the sauce coalesce, and you'll be able to
hide most of the fresh flavor. This is important for canned tomatoes because
they also bear a hint of "tinniness", from the tin can they're delivered in.
This flavor DNI well w / fresh

from your shining blade of the sky, which blinds the poor beast who can't see

today is a magical day. I can feel it in my fate.
Always remember, having fun is important too! Don't forget to be yourself, and
keep it together man. If you see a door, you should open it - what's on the
other side? Love for animals and kindness of the spirit are impossible to
fake, they always know if you're lying. Not the animals, they can be dumb
sometimes, but the other thing.
And now for the downsides.
If you find a cursed artifact, please don't throw it in the river. It might
ask you to, but please don't. Much better to destroy it by melting it down (if
it's metal, which is common as metal lasts long enough to become forgotten) or
convince it that it's a recently deceased person being buried (helps if you
know the creator).
If none of that applies to you, don't worry. Eat something healthy, drink a
decent amount of water, and maybe exercise a bit.
Oh, and it can't hurt to ask.

whether you eat halloween candy by the handful or savor each and every bite,
what matters most for tooth decay is duration
1 person who spends 2 hours eating a snickers bar is going to get more
cavities than someone who spends 10 minutes eating 22.
but your stomach doesn't care when you ate them, only that you ate quite a
few. Meaning you're likely to either get sick, or put on a pound or twenty-two.
I think it's better to try many different tiny little treats, but always
remember that the time you spend consuming bits of the sugar dimension add up,
and eventually your time will come to resign yourself to a fate with little
candy remaining, for you've grown too old for such childish things as tasty
yummy splendor.
old, or fat. Heh heh heh, can you imagine that? your belly sticks out from
under your hat! how cute. But dearie, dont you know that every pound you bear
is another that you have to carry around with you? It can be useful sometimes

It's healthier to eat rice, beans, and vegetables, with some fats added in via
butter or oil.
The goal is to build up fat stores that are high-value. When your body has
excess calories, it takes whatever nutrients are CURRENTLY in your system and
stores them in fat cells, like stocking a pantry. If all you eat is cheetos,
your pantry is gonna be useless. It'll just slow you down. But if you have
highly nutritious foods, you will perform better as your body consumes the fat
when it needs to feed, but you haven't eaten much lately.

not sure how busy you are, but maybe you could hang around outside the food
bank and offer to trade with other people who come out with 4 pounds of
carrots and 6 whole pumpkins?
when in doubt there's always rice and beans for the peppers. The melons
probably just have to be eaten.
If you don't get to all of them (because let's face it, who's gonna eat all
that melon) then maybe you could feed it to rabbits or something.
this situation is pretty common in rural areas where people have large
harvests of single crops all at once, or in a very short timeframe. However in
those places there's infrastructure in place to distribute your extra, so idk
what you could do here now unless you have friends who are willing to trade.

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.

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.

me when it's cold out: we should all bundle up and get through the winter,
every year that passes is more time to gather our strength
me when the temperature rises: okay so this is being handled by those guys,
we're moving this way to do this, and - when did you say the this-and-that was
happening? alright so when you do that-or-this, make sure that you pay
attention to the so-and-so and don't forget to eat real meals, candy or chips
don't count.

The only things we should trade across an ocean for are luxury goods.
Nintendo, not medical supplies, hard-wood bikeframes, not piles and piles of
"recycling". People's time on culinary thirty course weeklong meals, not cans
of San marzano tomatoes. Tapestries and gilded statues, not thirteen tons of
barely processed rubber.
What would we offer in return? Luxuries of our own. We do still make them, do
we not? Just think of what the 1% has gathered to rot and give away the whole
damned lot. We shall not provide necessities, because giving a man a fish will
feed him for but a day, and a man's gotta eat. He'll find a way.

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
colors of veggies and a lot of different colors of fruits (a green fruit and a
green vegetable are not necessarily the same nutritionally)

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.

@user-129 if you throw your plate across the room instead of eating well then
it was probably an accident. if you keep doing it and are being a huge brat
about it then maybe you should go in time-out until you are ready to sit at
the table and eat like an adult. plates are expensive yo, and people are
starving (for housing) in Africa or whatever.
in related news, I heard that ~40% of homes in America are empty. I don't know
if that's still true, I read it in like, 2014. I wonder if it's higher or

This will never end on a note, because i always have more to say. Like this:
"if you've only done something once, plan to mess it up. Practice makes
perfect, and only perfect practice leads to perfection. But nobody's perfect,
so just practice with good form and take it seriously while having fun and be
relaxed. Make it normal. Make it casual, but don't forget to be professional!
If you have lives in the balance, know what you're doing."
And like, would that have been a better end to the story if i had left it
unsaid? Maybe, who can say! But I'm not one for silence. I don't mind ruining
the finale of my documents a bit if it means i can say things like:
"diapers aren't something you can get addicted to in this game, they're part
of the fun sometimes but sex is between two bodies."
Or like:
"ramen noodles love vegetables! This is why they put veggies in the bowl when
getting ramen at a restaurant. When you buy from a shop they put dehydrated
veggies in too which is nice of them. I love those little bits of soup!"
Or like:
"i don't especially care what they did or are doing in Cuba or china or Russia
or any other Communist place. It's useful to know what things work and what
doesn't, but that insight comes from experimentation and not study. The
learnings of methods applied to a population are inherently related to that
population. If you switch peoples, you might find that different methods work
better for organizing people."
I mean it's useful to know which levers you can pull and what they tend to do,
but... Where was I? Oh sorry, got swept up in the narrative. As i was saying,
it's important to balance thought with action. Leave too much to chance and
your words are useless. Spend all your time volunteering and nothing changes.
"hmmm i see, makes sense, imma go play video games now."

why not? don't worry, I used my best judgement. make sure you do, too.

congratulations, you never need to adventure again. your necessities are taken
care of.
ah, but that'd make for a pretty boring life, wouldn't it? perhaps, depending
on your personality type.
but you're not one to stick around doing nothing but eating, drinking, and
being merry.
no, you're an adventurer, you crave excitement and glory. whatever that means
to you...
just make sure a goblin doesn't come across your corpse, they have a VERY
short term memory and a propensity for collecting shiny things. That's just
asking for dragon-bait, and we don't want that in our area, no thank you. This
is a nice neighborhood you see, my neighbors three miles away all agree, so
you can take your magic pocket and see all that you can see... way over
yonder, if you please.

Your mouth *likes* to eat
Your belly *likes* to fill
Your muscles *enjoy* exercise (and stretches!)
Your mind *likes* to think.
Why is it gross to think of your colon enjoying to poop? Does it prefer beans,
because they keep things moving?
Why is it gross to think of your under-arms sweating? Does it prefer not to
smell, or does it wish there were people that liked it without deodorant?
Do your toes think of other people as you walk toward them? Do your fingers
feel the face of your lover as you pull them close? Or is that for the brain,
the thoughts processing of all things mundane, the stuff which feels somehow
more "you" than the rest of you.
How absurd. You are you. You enjoy icecream, you enjoy the beach. You enjoy

Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
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.

Do your toes think of other people as you walk toward them? Do your fingers
feel the face of your lover as you pull them close? Or is that for the brain,
the thoughts processing of all things mundane, the stuff which feels somehow
more "you" than the rest of you.
How absurd. You are you. You enjoy icecream, you enjoy the beach. You enjoy
the stars, and you enjoy the laughter around you. There is nothing that
separates you from you, for you are your only champion.

ooooo separating additive and multiplicative, I love that. I do like
specificity unless "increased" and "more" always corresponds to +10% and +50%,
or if the "rate of increase" is a stat stored on the character then
"increased" could increase quality by however-many percentage,, while "more"
could be "more soldiers" x(charisma_stat)
I tend to think of percentages like "0-100 (or more) stacks" of a particular
effect, so I think that's just how my brain works... xD clumping them up into
discrete groups - like, anti-abstracting, or measuring things that are just a
few.
"is this belt better than this one?"
"is this pair of tongs
even for larger buffs like +10% or +50% or whatever, those are just... 10
stacks, or if percentages are usually round numbers like +10% and +50% then
like... +1 stack which calculates to +10%
the hard limit vs math limit thing you said is amazing ^_^

sorta like how with your method, people suggest their desired option
continuously until they find an option that everyone wants. Or if only one
person can't decide, they can pick any of the other options suggested (not by
them) (as long as they can eat there / utilize the outcome of the decision

You care too much about what other people think of you. Remember the dream,
remember the horseflesh, the miles of trash, the doctors probing cheeks, the
game of thrown baseballs and sad muppets in popcorn, remember the spirit
guide, remember how you we're distracted by human. Be not afraid, follow.

yay farmers markets
what if farmers markets but every day and staffed with people who want to hang
out and pass out food for free
"a truck just arrived with a bunch of zuchinnis, can you help me load them
into that tend over there?"
"hello bus stop people, I was just at the farmers market and I was wondering
if you want some cherries? make sure you throw the pits at that tesla over
there [jk if you're in a place that does this, the tesla 90% guaranteed has
one of those "I bought this before I knew Elon was crazy!" type of bumper
stickers]"
"hi do you know where the watermelons are? Oh, they aren't in season? darn
well I love watermelons and I think some greenhouse space should be spent on
growing them for watermelon enthusiasts like me"
alternatively, farmers "markets" on every street like they do in Mexico where
every time a truck with produce drives past they stop and say "hey want some
raspberries" until they run out
then people can walk past and get food, or drive past because suburbs.

I am a stalk, a small little plant
A plant with no leaves, just hair.
Time is different to a plant such as me,
We hardly wake up, we're just happy to be
But life has no less purpose, it's no less grand
To those who would feed on me, in one single band
Stalling and talking and as we're falling down,
you have the power to not swallow our abounds.
Gnashing and gnawing on hand and on foot,
It hurts no less than eternal binding.
But what is time to one so little as you?
Your breaths are so short, your timings subdued.
Keep falling and shouting, and calling my name,
and I'll come a running just to swallow your shame.
Keep fear on a leash, most tidy and well kept,
That none may abhor you and you're soon to be
A leader a prophet a warrior most fair,
One to be aspired to and viewed with care.
Young you may be, and youth you may cherish,
but don't run away, stand as a parish.
A villain to be, a curse is most foul
For sirens to me, a terrible howl
Keep not naught afraid,
with kittens and care,
And no one
but no one
I
be

hmmm, I don't know that word. I bet I can type it into wikipedia and get a
pretty good understanding of what it means. Is it a craft? A science? or part
of your renown? who can say. Well, Wikipedia can say, and so can you if you
want to learn stuff about the internet.
Like... what else are ya gonna do, right? Life is long and you get so many
moments to yourselves. How lovely of a life is the world meant to be...
except all you ever post about is strife. GRRRRR [like a dog or toddler] it's
so frustrating how you can't just all get along! It's like you've all gotten
into a fight with one another somewhere in your ancestral past where you
couldn't decide who should do what. So you just said everyone should always
work as hard as they can, and that worked pretty well! But, alas, most people
want to do drugs and gaze at the pretty dewdrops on the neighborhood well. And
that gets annoying after a while, especially once they grow useless. Sometimes
they even poop their pants! So frustrating. [... you mean humans
