Less rice?! Speak for yourself.

[–] Bluefruit 47 points 6 months ago

Absolute blasphemy.

How else will i have left over rice for fried rice if I make just enough?

[–] glimse 14 points 6 months ago

Yeah what the fuck is this? I've only had too much rice with a meal once or twice in my entire life

[–] [email protected] 40 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The spinach part at least is true if you cook fresh spinach. Those leaves will just evaporate.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

The correct size is many many handfuls or one bag for most dishes

So is the violence part. Hitler wasn't defeated with a sit in. The elite chose violence back in the 1950's to destroy unions. Corrupt governments were never overthrown by asking nicely. The term "speak softly, but carry a big stick" wasn't made up for no reason.

Sorry summer person, I need to get inside a tight bed while it's freezing outside to make my problems go away

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 7 points 6 months ago

Oh I like that too I agree. A weighted blanket when it's -20 in January and you don't have to go outside is wonderful.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I like to think these are a sequence.

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends 20 points 6 months ago

Can confirm.

For lunch I had spinach and rice soup (extra spinach), while sitting outside in the sun with a nice cup of tea. Then I punched a Nazi.

It was a good day.

Also if something calls for garlic cloves you triple whatever number it says.

[–] JayleneSlide 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Triple? In our galley, "1 clove" —> 1 bulb.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I tend to put garlic in even when there's none at all in the recipe. Making pancakes? Stuff those fuckers with a metric fuckton of the good stuff. I may be exaggerating slightly.

You've awaken the inner Asian within me and I will rip you apart if you dare trash talk about rice.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 2 points 6 months ago

That's legit.

Really depends on the tea for me. I could go for a nice raspberry green tea.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (4 children)

...you can make tea out of raspberries?

[–] Soku 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You can make tea out of nearly any plant. They are infusions rather than true tea but raspberry leaf or sprig tea is damn tasty

[–] chknbwl 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Raspberry leaf, hibiscus, and rosehips. Citrus peel instead of rosehips if you prefer a more fruity blend. Cold press with a teaspoon or two of wildflower honey, add a mint leaf for freshness and you have wonderfully refreshing summertime tea. Add boba for the kids and they don't mind the low sugar content!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I'm not fancy enough to have all of this, but I have raspberries, mint, and honey. Time to experiment

edit: I am getting so many good tips here, I'll see if I can make something to post on Lemmy at a later date

[–] chknbwl 1 points 6 months ago

Cheese cloth works works amazingly well to wrap your leaves in, no cold press necessary!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Is it really worth to massacre these innocent Raspberry Pi's just to make tea out of them?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 4 points 6 months ago

Raspberry leaves specifically. It's wonderful!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Sure. With raspberries you can use dried berries, leafs, roots. It's a pretty versatile plant.

You can also make tea out of gummi bears too https://www.thesweetsbarn.net/product/gummy-bear-tea/86

Again: put stuff in hot water and let it soak. Strain said stuff and you have what is loosely defined as tea.

I probably wouldn't do used radial tire tea, but if that's what floats your boat, knock yourself out.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Its hot flavor water. What's not to love?

[–] Alexstarfire 4 points 6 months ago
[–] Volkditty 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Honestly, I think I have a bit of sensitivity to the tannins. Gives me an unsettled stomach.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 4 points 6 months ago

Oh yeah, I guess that would do it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

It only gives me nausea on an empty stomach, have you tried after a meal?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Do you like iced tea?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Violence is never an answer...

Violence is the question and the answer is YES.
