Blapoo, in What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often?

Red cabbage!

OhmsLawn,

Absolutely. I’ll just go through quarters of that stuff without a second thought, but I never remember that when I’m at the store.

WeLoveCastingSpellz, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

Thank you :)

FullOfBallooons, in What are some green flags in a partner in your opinion?
@FullOfBallooons@leminal.space avatar

Being nice to waitstaff/receptionists/cashiers/etc, even if there’s an issue.

You can be annoyed at the situation, sure. But being nice to the employee shows you know that 99% of the time the problem is not their fault and 100% of the time yelling won’t solve anything.

Lemminary,

I have some extended family who does this. They’re not good people.

@Krzd@lemmy.world avatar

Hybrid watch. Still has the hands for manual time reading but in the middle is an eInk display for notifications. I have to charge it about every 3.5 weeks which is amazing. (Fossil gen 6 Hybrid)

Stuffing.

Every Thanksgiving I eat stuffing and remember:

  1. This stuff is great
  2. There is nothing stopping me from making this year round

and then i immediately forget

stolid_agnostic,

In fairness, it’s not like you see it at the store all year round to remind you. Maybe get a couple boxes to have throughout the year? It’s certainly on sale right now, or at least will be at the end of December.

lobut,

I love other people’s stuffing. I made stuffing and gave myself food poisoning.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer,

When I make it rather than “mashed potatoes made of bread” it’s more like “slightly moist croutons”. Breaks my heart.

squiblet,
@squiblet@kbin.social avatar

By putting it inside a turkey or just somehow with stuffing?

lobut,

Yeah, I put it inside the turkey. I used a friend’s recipe, but it must have been a bigger bird and took too long to cook or something.

Okay, I just Googled it:

When you place stuffing inside a turkey, it comes into contact with raw meat and juices that may contain harmful bacteria such as salmonella.

squiblet,
@squiblet@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, it's fallen out of fashion because if you leave it there overnight especially bacteria can grow in it. Well, sorry to hear that. I like making homemade stuffing but I just bake it in a pan... i guess that's called dressing.

mwproductions,

Try microwaving it on high for several minutes (until it’s basically too hot to handle) before stuffing the bird.

It also helps if you don’t pack it in. It should get to 165°F to be considered safe.

I made a bunch of stuffing not on Thanksgiving a few years ago. Was addicted to it and kept making it. But then ate it too often I got tired of it. This always happens to me though. I get excited about some food. Then I make it until I get tired of it and move on to the next thing.

rem26_art,
@rem26_art@kbin.social avatar

true true. There's definitely too much of a good thing.

shanjezi,

This is me, but also with like people and hobbies and my career

Mouselemming,

Pick up a box on sale and put it in the cupboard. It’s a useful base for some chicken pieces, or to make some vegetables into a casserole. Excellent with mushrooms. (Take into account the liquid that will be released by the cooking veggies, or else saute them first, before mixing with the stuffing)

This year, instead of a whole bird, I made Turkey Balls using 2 lbs ground turkey, 2 raw eggs, stuffing mix, then sauteed onion, celery, apple, mushrooms, (let cool before adding) Chardonnay, and cool broth. I added the usual spices, keeping in mind there’s already some in the stuffing. I piled them in a lidded casserole, but you can also bake them on a sheet pan and serve with dips.

rem26_art,
@rem26_art@kbin.social avatar

The turkey balls sound really good. Like a good way to get a whole Thanksgiving experience in a more compact package

Mouselemming,

Plus there’s the opportunity for jokes

vettnerk, in What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often?

Green olives. None of my cooking use them as an ingredient, so once in a blue moon I remember that I like them, so I eat an entire jar with a toothpick.

itsathursday,

Have you tried Sicilian olives specifically? They almost have an umami flavour

vettnerk,

I may have, I don’t know enough about olives to tell. I usually just buy the biggest jar of castrated green olives that I can find here in scandinavialand.

squiblet,
@squiblet@kbin.social avatar

... I'm guessing Castelvetrano! Ha. Those are my favorite olives too.

Blackout,
@Blackout@kbin.social avatar

I throw them in my salads

vettnerk,

My “salads” are technically that due to having cucumber in them. But other than that it’s mostly just cheese which I don’t like with olives.

OhmsLawn,

I make sure I always have an unopened jar. As soon as I open it, I put another jar on the shopping list. Check out some Puerto Rican dishes. Arroz con Gandules, etc. Great use of green olives in those.

waz, (edited )

Disappointed I didn’t find the “30 to 40 olives” meme in the comments.

I guess I’ll have to link to it myself.

tierelantijntje, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

When I have issues eating I go for non-offensive foods that are easy to swallow such as a can of white beans in tomato sauce, plain full fat Greek yoghurt, oatmeal made with milk and not water, lentil soup. I sometimes make 1000 kcalorie smoothies with half an avocado, 2 tbsp peanut butter, cup of 10% fat yogurt, a banana, 1/2 cup oatmeal and enough orange juice to make it liquid. Will not win any taste awards but does contain a bunch of good stuff.

governorkeagan,

I’ve done the smoothie before as well, not the same recipe but high calorie smoothies none the less.

3migo, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
@3migo@lemmy.world avatar

Regular watch.

I find myself bombarded by notifications all day anyways, I don’t also want my wrist buzzing along with my pocket. Since I work from home, I have my phone out on my desk most of the time anyways, smartwatch doesn’t really add any value for me as I don’t care about the fitness data.

I’m also a watch enthusiast, so smartwatches don’t scratch that same itch as a traditional watch.

Gallardo994, (edited ) in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

Chikhirtma is an awesome Georgian soup with cheese and all. Super awesome when you’re sick.

P. S. Also great if you’re hungover

NaoPb, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

I always have my phone on silent mode and have messages turned off for most apps, so I’ll have to check them manually. This is less stressfull to me. I just get to relax without being bothered.

So I think I prefer a regular watch since I don’t see the benefits of a smart watch in my situation.

NOOBMASTER, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

bacteria might help

LifeOfChance, in What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often?

Idk what it’s called but my wife makes this chicken and pasta that uses parm garlic sauce and its 10/10. I know my issue is we make it then I over eat it which results in me hating it for a while and then the cycle repeats

BarrelAgedBoredom,

Sounds like chicken alfredo

LifeOfChance, (edited )

Nah, the chicken is slow cooked with the parm garlic sauce, cream cheese, some other kind of cheese, then some rigatoni. She adds a few other things as well.

vivadanang, in What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often?

Indian food mostly, but only because the best places are a drive away.

IonAddis,
@IonAddis@lemmy.world avatar

What’s your favorite Indian dish?

vivadanang,

I like a big bowl of Rogan Gosht with some chicken biryani (my wife’s fav) and loads of naan. I’m not refined lol, just like that lamb and that chicken saffron yogurty stuff.

IonAddis,
@IonAddis@lemmy.world avatar

I frickin’ love lamb dishes, and I get so grumpy that lamb/mutton is unpopular in the US, so it’s hard to find. It’s tasty!

Pons_Aelius,

I frickin’ love lamb dishes

If you ever get a chance, try goat curries. They will rock your world.

Pat_Riot,
@Pat_Riot@lemmy.today avatar

Goat is even harder to find in the US.

jaybone,

Most Indian places will have a goat curry.

squiblet,
@squiblet@kbin.social avatar

hardcore Mexican places make it... birria.

Bishma,
@Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I go on Indian food kicks sometimes, where I’ll end up eating once or twice a week for months then I’ll go years without thinking about it again.

Illecors, (edited ) in What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often?

Pulled pork. And then I wonder why I don’t do it more often, and then remember that I prefer homemade one, and then I realise :::: spoiler ain’t nobody got time for that :( https://i.imgflip.com/1f0umb.jpg

IonAddis,
@IonAddis@lemmy.world avatar

Someone who can do a “pull the pork apart” robot attachment for a crock pot could probably make a pile of money.

Although now I’m imagining a little robot treading in the crock pot like old timey winemaking, where they stomped on the grapes.

Grandude,

A handheld mixer works great.

Candelestine,

Honestly, even just doing a whole shoulder with two forks only takes a few minutes. Though I don’t shred mine down all the way.

Also, if you have a crock pot or oven, the cooking process is very simple and hands-off as well.

Aviandelight,
@Aviandelight@mander.xyz avatar

I’ve been doing this monthly and freezing portions for those nights of the week I can’t be bothered to cook. So yummy.

hglman,

Instapot, just as good, 90 minutes

BrianTheeBiscuiteer,

Edible yes, but smoked is the way to go.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

The worse part about smoking pulled pork is trying to roll it without mangling the paper.

Guest_User,

Do you use liquid smoke at all?

hglman,

No, for the instapot I usually make carnitas.

triptrapper,

Unless you finish it in the oven, you won’t get the Vital Crispies.

leraje, in How would you explain Lemmy/Kbin to a Reddit person or to a social media person?

  • Like Reddit, KBin and Lemmy are 'link aggregators’
  • This means, in subject driven Communities (sub-reddits), people post links or images or their thoughts and others comment on them
  • Reddit is software that’s installed in one central location (server). This means it is owned and controlled by one single commercial entity.
  • Kbin and Lemmy are both software that are installed in multiple locations (servers), owned and controlled by multiple people and can be installed by anyone. This means no one can ever own or control the entirety of Lemmy.
  • Reddit, KBin and Lemmy can be accessed by users via websites or apps.
  • Reddit is centralised. If it disappeared tomorrow, it would be completely gone.
  • KBin and Lemmy are federated. If one instance (server) disappeared tomorrow, all the others would be unaffected and carry on as normal.
  • All instances of KBin and Lemmy can talk to all other instances of KBin and Lemmy, as long as they are federated.
  • Rule breaking and/or toxic instances/servers can be defederated by other servers/instances.
  • Reddit, KBin and Lemmy are all free to use. However, with Reddit you must contend with invasive privacy and advertising. The way to support KBin and Lemmy is to donate to the development team and the server/instance your account is on.
