Right, I agree with you there. I guess I should invert my question. If you're tipping the driver, what is the delivery fee for?

These two costs seem redundant.

Wow. Just wow.

If you are paying separately for the delivery, what is the tip for?

This image makes me uncomfortable.

Aww crap. Now I think I'm going to have to try making gin.

I'm trying this.

Depending on my mood I go butter and brown sugar, or olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan.

I eat the skin of regular kiwi's. Am I not supposed to?

I have a whiteboard in my kitchen. Amongst other things, on it I keep a list of perishable foods that we have on hand. When I am trying to figure out what I am going to cook, I can look at the list and not have to think about every ingredient I own, And only focus on things that will go off soon. I usually don't include the common items we tend to go through often.

Sometimes I also include leftovers that need to be finished, and unusual ingredients I bought impulsively because I thought I wanted to try making something new but than lost focus/motivation to actually make something with them.

It's not a great system, but it helps me waste less.

I don't really know what the legality of this is. The best explanation I can come up with is: Texas.

Last time I was in TX, one of my favorite food trucks had a sign that said "no longer excepting cash payments". I laughed at the grammatical error, but was still a little sad about losing the option to pay with real money. It wasn't hipster at all, but I guess the clientele was.

Anyway, yes. I see your point but a lot of places realize they have to get modern or fail. It makes me sad to think about.

Find a purpose that motivates you. For some people that is exploring, for others it is expressing themselves creatively, or helping people, or fighting for a cause you believe in, or trying to make the perfect baked potato.

I don't know your specific limitations. Perhaps there is motivation in overcoming them, or helping others so they won't have them too?

You were a little sparse with details, and I trust you have your reasons. Depending on this situation this advice could be pretty insensitive. My goal is not to offend or upset. I hope I haven't.

I was never big on photographing my food but I found this one particularly pretty. It was over a decade ago, and I don't remember what restaurant it was. Somewhere in NYC.

Wash before using (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago by waz to c/aiop
 

I just noticed the cucumbers I bought say "wash before using" not "wash before eating" and I want to believe it is a subtle joke deliberately made by the person who designed the packaging.

I found it amusing and I wanted to share it.

 

I find most foods are best as soon as they are made, but some things seem to get better when the flavors have more time to meld. The only two I can think of right now are chili and hummus. What other dishes am I forgetting, or haven't tried that you think get better with a little time?

I want to replace one half of this with longer wire, but I am not confident about the name of the connector used.
