    Now 100%

    I par cooked some angel hair pasta, like 4 minutes, drained it, tossed it with a bit of oil to keep it from sticking, then I pulverized the shit out of some peanuts in a food processor, fried those in some oil with garlic and gochujang and tomato paste for like 30 seconds, added some thai garlic chili sauce, threw in maybe 1/3rd of a cup of pasta water w/ the starch in it, added a SMALL bit of ponzu and sesame oil, then threw the pasta in and cooked it ~2 minutes or until the liquid was absorbed/reduced

    by god it was good, I wish you could taste what I'm tasting. I made it the perfect amount of white people spicy. I feel the heat permeate my mouth but it isn't overwhelming, I tasted it while eating it but I could taste all the other flavors too, so good

  • the new local prices shit doesn't make any fucking sense like I guess I have to literally make tools IN this province for them to be cheap enough for people to actually want to use them? I don't fucking know. Don't explain it to me I don't care I'll figure it out

    Im playing China and chugging along, can probably 1v1 a great power, I ally with Britain in exchange for an obligation when France decides to attack me. But despite getting the fucking alliance, Britain isn't helping me, which really fucks me given that Russia piles in with France What the fuck is the point of getting an alliance in exchange for an obligation if they can just IMMEDIATELY ignore it and leave you to die

    I thought that they pulled salt into the meat and reversed the osmotic pressure so that liquid flows back into it and that's why putting aromatics in the brine pulls flavors into the meat. And I thought they were specifically used on lean cuts of meat to help keep them moist. And I read that they're not typically used for beef because beef usually has enough intramuscular fat to keep itself moist while cooking. But we've been cooking top round beef and every time the sous chef complains about how dry it is and how it's the cut of the meat and how it lacks intramuscular fat etc etc. So i mention brining the meat first today, but he says it'd make it more dry, because "the salt breaks down cells and once that fluid is released it doesn't go back in" So what's up with that who do i believe, this guy who is generally knowledgeable or a bunch of internet sources

    I fucked this up though, I thought if I just topped the mushrooms with spinach, put the ratatouille on, and then put them back in the oven a couple minutes the spinach would wilt and look good. It didn't, it dried out, next time I'm folding the spinach into the ratatouille and then topping the mushrooms with it. Image is from before they went back into the oven

    Update on my friend's situation, request for additional aid if possible

    I posted about her situation [here](https://hexbear.net/post/275024) Basically she is doing much much better, or will be soon, due to her parents finally deciding to step in and help. Her dads are going to pay for an apartment for her for a year, and while it's further from her work the idea is they'll help more with child care. And the idea is to get her moved in without her husband knowing about it, if possible. We're gonna try and get her moved in on Saturday. Unfortunately she could use a little more financial help, she got her shithead husband to pay off what he owed on her storage units (which was a whole other crisis, don't ever put your stuff in a storage unit that isn't in your name jfc) but I guess that was all his money or something, and she was planning on having more for food and a U-haul. If anyone can manage to send her anything it would be greatly appreciated. A few of you have already sent her a good bit, so thank you so much for that, it really made her day. Unfortunately a lot of that got eaten up by paying off the power company (she thought she had to pay what she owed to start service, but the new apartment is in a different utility's area........). But like for real, thank you from me and from her. If y'all can't afford to send anything it will probably be fine, we will just manage however we can with our cars, or I can try to figure something else out. Idk. I feel bad asking for help when there are people on here who are literally homeless right now but idk how else to assist her. I'm broke too and neither of us get paid until Wednesday (and all my paycheck is going to rent....) The link she sent me for her cashapp was https://cash.app/$hmm223 Edit: someone just sent her a good bit so I think she should be fine for the u-haul, thank you so much!
