hi, is this guy telling me to put the marinade that had the raw meat in it directly on top of the finished dish. and then eat it

#re-reading this recipe three times looking for where it says to reserve some marinade before putting raw meat in it #or to cook some marinade to turn it into a sauce that doesn't still have raw meat germs in it #hm. hm.#this recipe also calls for rice wine and sake separately #not that there aren't other rice wines but my brother in christ can you be more specific #I'm gonna try it with mirin which will probably be good and also is what 1) I already have 2) I can get at the grocery store other than sak #ALSO furikake is like... a whole category of seasoning. it comes in a ton of different varieties lmao #me: oh 'Gourmet's furikake' ? is that a specific mix he tells you how to make somewhere in the book? [it is not]#this book is very beautiful to look at but a lot of the recipes are somehow both weirdly pretentious and surprisingly unhelpful #'here's the recipe that in-game is made by setting apples on fire :) first take your vanilla sugar--' bro you are doing too much.

footnotes arent enough I need you to talk to me like im fucking Amelia Bedelia

#this isn’t about anything in particular btw. I just have to add a lot of memos when I’m doing things because some things are done a certain #way and it isn’t explained well in the instructions. like my mom has instructions on her baking recipes right #but when it says stuff like add dry ingredients to wet ingredients it also means you don’t dump it in one go you add it slowly by portion #this is probably why I find videos and demonstrations the most helpful when I learn something. like I almost always ask someone to show me #how they do it because there could be something they do that’s already second nature and wouldn’t really be considered in an explanation yk #I don’t think I’m an exception either. when the rice is done cooking I divide it into 4 quarters to bless it #but there are a million ways to divide rice and it makes me think that one persons way of doing it or not doing it all is just as valid #theres also technically no wrong way to divide rice afaik. this means either all ways of dividing rice is safe or valid until we find some #universally terrible way of dividing rice. until that happens nobody really thinks about specifying HOW you divide the rice #source: I have anxiety starting and doing things for the first time because I got way too many people yell at me NONONO WHAT ARE YOU DOING #THATS WRONG while I’m in the middle of doing the thing. I would rather have people think I’m either very stupid or overly specific #than go thru the panic inducing fear of ‘YOURE DOING THIS WRONG OMG WHY DIDNT YOU ASK AHEAD OF TIME THIS WILL BE FUCKED UP FOREVER’ 🧍#nothing wrong if you don’t give something a second thought because you’re so used to it. but I can and will ask about it and I don’t think I #really should feel bad about it if I don’t know enough to dispute it. idk #the other way around I try to be as specific as possible and word things in a way that people who might not get where I’m coming from will #understand. but the problem with that is my explanations tend to be lengthy and I lose them either way 🗿#Im. trying to work on that using examples and stuff because they seem to work the best #but if I could write everything down on a word doc and beam it into your melon that would save both of us time and embarassment #im rambling the short version is I have adhd #yapping

Here's what you're gonna do.

You're gonna go down to your local Aldi's, buy a 24oz bag of frozen mango chunks, a bag of rice, and two cans of black beans.

If you don't already have them; salt, lime or lemon juice and cumin; maybe some meal prep tupperware. Pouch tuna if you like that stuff.

Once home, put that bag of mango chunks in a bowl full of warm water so they defrost. Don't pen it. The bag needs to stay closed. This'll make sense later.

Prepare enough water in a pot to cook two cups of that rice. Make sure the pot's big. Big enough to hold way more rice than you expect there to be. Add a teaspoon of cumin, two tablespoons lime or lemon juice, salt according to preference. Pat of butter.

Boil. Make sure the butler's melted. Stir to combine.

Add your rice. Cook according to rice bag.

If you have a protein, you can cook that now. 20-30 minutes at your disposal. If not, that's why we got the second can of beans for.

I recommend Aldi's tuna steaks - quick to defrost, 5 bucks for 2-3. Lean protein. Real nice. Creme de la crumb's tuna marinade also works real nice if you have the energy.

A pouch of tuna's just as good functionally.

Less mercury that way.

You can mix it in that if you want, too.

Strain your beans. Conserve a little bean water for the rice if you want.

Your rice is done.

Add your beans. Twice as many if you're feeling like it'll be a bad week. Two or three pouch tunas too if you want a little extra.

If you have the lemon pepper kind you can probably nix the citrus juice.

Now we go back to your mango. If all's worked correctly, the warm water should've thawed them somewhat, the heat warming the air in the bag.

Dump 'em in, turn the burner to low heat. Stir until well combined.

Portion out into Tupperware.

You've got a good couple meals right there. Even more as side dishes if you have the energy to cook chicken nuggets or fish or veggies or whatever.

Lunch. Breakfast. Dinner.

Carbs to keep you awake and moving.

Protein to fuel your muscles.

Bit of fiber to push it all through your guts easier.

Citric acid to avoid the scurvy.

Can be eaten hot or cold, and the shit's good, too.

You're gonna have something tasty to eat whether you can operate a microwave or not this week.

That's what you're gonna do.

#adhd hacks #recipe #depression hacks #cooking hacks #cooking #you deserve better than a simple beige diet.#i had a lot of fun cooking this old favorite with my boyfriend this weekend.#the bag of mango was way bigger than we needed for one meal so they helped me prep cook some emergency dinner #this one is pretty simple in prep so if you can grocery shop and make mac and cheese this shouldn't be too much #it's a bit more pricey the first time around but getting a big bag of rice cuts this cost significantly.#fresh mango works too but frozen is cheaper #more cost effective and requires less spoons #canned beans are thankfully dirt cheap #pouch tuna is also wicked good lean protien-wise and $0.50-1 a pouch for store brand is a great way to eat #take care of yourselves friends. slowly building up the energy to put the effort you deserve into yourself doesn't have to start big.#it doesn't have to hurt. baby steps where you can take them are steps nonetheless.

I made homemade Indian curry for dinner and it was my first time making it and both me and my partners first time trying homemade curry in general (I've had instant massaman curry and butter chicken at my work but that's it, and they had never tried any) and it slapped my balls clean off. and my partner loved it too. I love cooking

#nerd alert #its so so satisfying when i try to make something for the first time and it comes out good #im also very confident in my cooking ability #i followed a recipe for the sauce but immediately strayed from it when it didnt specifically suit my needs #(i needed it more watery bc i was cooking potatoes in it so i like. doubled the chicken stock and added extra coconut milk)#(so then i also added more spices and a bit more tomato paste so the flavor wouldnt be too mild)#(and then after having it simmer for a while the flavor was actually too much so i added some heavy cream bc i was out of coconut milk)#anyways i also made coconut rice and got some naan on sale when we went shopping. it all turned out SOOOOO GOOD

for the first time in a long time, i threw together something to eat and it was actively bad. not because of parosmia or any other external thing, it just genuinely wasn't good. i barely finished it and was really glad it was one serving. #humbled

#think i might be going a little too crazy on the white pepper #also think i don't know rice vinegar well enough to just use it no recipe #and i fear i may also have a similar situation with tahini #yes tahini is just sesame seeds so where sesame seeds can go it can go #however! you have to keep in mind a teaspoon of tahini is 3.5 billion sesame seeds 😔 you must wield this power cautiously #i got really emboldened with that yum yum sauce the other day that was really really cool that i could just pull sauce out of the air #but that doesn't mean i can just slap together like 9 different ingredients 2 of which i'm not best friends with yet #and expect an incredibly delicious meal every time #just like 9/10 times lmao #adam yaps #i guess this is just growing pains #bc of my parosmia i can't just endlessly alternate between french and italian cooking principles #most of what i know is completely out the window without onions #so i'm having to cook in ways i historically have only experienced as a customer #and let me tell you. cooking was not 'coming naturally' to me before. i spent my first decade on earth as my mom's sous.#ofc i had a 'knack' when i started doing it solo #i have never soused for anyone cooking complex asian cuisine so unfortunately the 'knack' is not nearly as present u_u

more botw shenanigans!

hadn’t played for a bit because i got sucked into far harbor again and i haven’t even been to see dima at acadia yet

but i finally got back to it last night and again tonight and i had a blast! found some more shrines, notable loot there includes the climbing headpiece and pants so that makes my life easier. i also got safely onto hateno tower despite the thorns as well so my map has a new big chunk for me to explore and find shrines in!

i also made it to hateno village itself and hit all the stores. i added a couple new pieces to link’s wardrobe, dyed every single piece of clothing he has purple, and expanded my cooking abilities with some new ingredients - milk, rice, honey, and butter! i easily spent half an hour cooking tonight lol

i also did a sidequest! it was the one where i fought monsters on the beach! and i got a couple more korok seeds. i am starting to realize why people dislike the koroks though, but i’m taking a more “i’ll mark it on the map and come back when i have more experience” kind of approach

anyway, here’s link and breeze as i left them when i saved!

#ellie plays botw #baby’s first zelda game #botw #honestly the only thing that kept me from doing more today was that it’s past midnight #or else i probably would have kept going lol #also giving me a cooking mechanic was a mistake #i have several meals prepared that heal upwards of like 10-18 hearts per meal #currently link has five hearts in my game #so like that’s fun #also giving me better ingredients like milk and rice was a mistake as well #my link is decent in battle if a bit of a damage sponge #mostly because i’m used to tanking in fallout lol #but once a day he takes time to cook up a literal storm #could feed an army with the amount i cook in game lmao

girl the rice post has reached iceland

#this is so fascinating. yes i am going to go through everything and put it in a google sheet #like a sane person #also it's fun that now is the first time im encounterung icelandic in that post #also. a surprising amount of tumblr users speak hebrew #also also. the conclusion isnt very surprising. i mean i think everyone assumed the root would be the same for places where rice >#< wasn't native. what i hadnt thought of before is that it would have so many names in the places it came from #i.e different names for cooked/uncooked rice etc #and it makes perfect sense! but it's still endlessly interesting and not something i had thought of before #which. my dad had 24 years to tell me cooked and uncooked rice had different names in his dialect. but ig he waited for the tumblr post #and now this started a whole thing. im going to look for projects attempting to preserve jewish-iraqi-arabic #anyway did you enjoy this. whatever this post is? i did #food ment #🤎

Made this fried rice yesterday night and while it was yummy and worth remaking, when I remake it, I’m definitely skipping the pancetta entirely 😭

the way it was so fatty

#look it was my first time cooking pancetta #i didn't realize how fatty it was #if i'd known #i would've just tossed them into the pan sans oil but instead i had.. a pretty decent amount of oil in the pan already before i tossed the #pancetta in #THERE WAS SO MUCH OIL AND FAT #had to pour the oil out after cooking the pancetta #and even then the fried rice tasted a little too fatty imo #might sub for ham or something next time #but every other bit? delicious #might skip the soy sauce text time also as i don't think the dish needs it it's already super flavorful #re: cooking adventures

Thinking a LOT about Lucifer in the latest Hazbin episode. Idk what I was expecting but not this??

As I was watching my immediate thought was just "huh... Lucifer is kinda of weird..." but as the episode went on I realized the issue

the dude is off the chain depressed, like he says it as a joke but holy cow it is SO BAD

He's manically just creating rubber ducks cuz his daughter really like it that one time but it's empty, it's never good enough but he keeps doing it, maybe cuz he doesn't know how to pass the time otherwise.

like I get the feeling he HAS better things he SHOULD be doing than making rubber duck after rubber duck. At first I was like, "Bruh why isn't the king of hell doing anything?" aaaaand then it became clear...

The dude is disassociating so bad he can barely hold a conversation let alone remember information. He clearly WANTS to, he wants to be involved with his daughter so bad, he wants to care about the things she's doing so bad, but his depression keeps interfering. It's like he can only hear every other word and he grasps onto the ones he does hear semi-out of context. Like you can see every time he catches something that he hadn't before and he just "well shit I didn't catch that part"

and that's why he reacts so weird when people talk to him. He is struggling so bad to engage with the conversation he's only getting 50% of it

does that look like the face of a man who knows what the hell the conversation is even about??? he is STRUGGLING

like Charlie spent so long telling him about the hotel, and he STILL didn't understand what she wanted. Yeah it comes off as ditzy but literally I've been in that position where your brain just "nope, not doing this right now" and nerfs your conversation comprehension. So as someone who's BEEN in that position, to me it feels exactly like what he's dealing with. He's sorta engaged with the conversation, but only as much as his brain will allow

For example, when I'm dealing with this, this is what someone talking to me feels like this where the crossed out parts are what I missed and bold is what I catch, "Hey! You know I was thinking for dinner we could either make some chicken with rice? But if you don't feel like cooking, pasta is super easy and you love that right? What do you want to do?" you can kinda get that someone is trying to talk to you about dinner, and towards the end you get the impression that they asked something that needs your input so you can decently put 2 and 2 together and try and pass off, but crucial bits were left out, I would have no idea that either chicken or pasta is in the conversation only having heard "rice". When someone is just talking at me, I can decently pass off as being engaged but the second I'm required to participate in the conversation I'm screwed. Seem familiar? At which point I have 2 options, try to give a bullshit answer, or admit that I missed what they were saying and ask them to repeat

Lucifer, unfortunately, is trying so damn hard to hide that he's dealing with like 24/7 dissociation, so he can't admit that he's missing entire chunks of the conversation, hence his really weird replies. He does eventually get the full picture and then he and Charlie start having the real conversation

Also, the Alastor/Lucifer rivalry was hilarious but also really indicative of more of what Lucifer is dealing with

Alastor is, unfortunately, really good at picking up people's insecurities, and thanks to Charlie's description earlier and watching Lucifer clearly trying to overcompensate, he immediately picks up on the fact that Lucifer KNOWS he struggles to be a good dad (we know cuz it's cuz of the depression, hard to be engaged when your brain keeps turning off) and decides to rub salt in the wound by pretending he's been acting as a surrogate father to Charlie. Now why Alastor decided to pick a fight with the king of hell is beyond me, I do not understand Alastor (and I LIKE IT) (maybe it's cuz Alastor thinks he's hot shit and was expecting Lucifer to at least have heard of him but Lucifer just treats him like a nobody? who knows)(why would Lucifer listen to radio anyways when he can't even pay attention to a conversation it'd just be white noise)

But yeah I just was expecting someone who oozed either charisma or presence and instead I got a depressed dad who's dissociating so bad he can barely function and be present in his life. The only thing it seems he CAN do is make rubber ducks cuz his daughter really liked it that one time

Idk Lucifer is tragic to me. Whatever the full details of what heavan did to him absolutely broke him and he can't deal with it. He's aware of it, and he doesn't know how to fix it, so he tries to over compensate and sorta makes an ass out of himself but no one says or does anything cuz this guy is supposed to be THE king of hell

Suddenly it's making a lot more sense why he just rolls over and lets heaven do what it wants and even told Charlie to go in his place the start of the show. He's not in any headspace to hold a basic conversation let alone negotiate! He didn't even know who Alastor was, he's been so out of touch

idk I like him, he seems sweet, I hope Charlie brings some light back into his life. He really needs to get out of that rubber duck room

Cooking Fail of the Day

Pressing the vent button on the InstaPot before cooking instead of after because I was too lazy to double check the directions

Assuming the rice would cook anyway when I suspected my mistake

Having done this thrice before without making this mistake

Cooking Win of the Day

Buying naan also

Not burning the naan

#cooking #instapot #fails #cooking fail #rice #cookingfailoftheday #naan #recipe: coconut curry rice and naan #what I ate: coconut curry on naan sandwich #also raspberries #the curry was frozen so I couldn’t fuck it up #this is the first time I didn’t burn any naan

man if youve never made a pdf on your phone and have no idea how it works you cant get mad if you ask others if they know how to and they say "it depends".
