Two good grandma memories: Every time we'd greet, I'd say "how are you today, grandma?" She would respond "mean, grouchy, and unreasonable." That's how I knew she was okay. I can only imagine the confusion when she said that to St. Peter this morning. For years in Hawaii my grandma worked at the Dole pineapple plant, so she always smelled like pineapple. To the end, we COULD NOT serve pineapple To my grandma because of it.

Condolences, Wiggles and Ulysses. There's always a great sadness when we lose one more link to that which went before, no matter how good a life they may have had and how much we convince ourselves that it was "their time". Dino, I'm really sorry. I don't have any other words (except to say that I am very sure that HH's invitation to come for a visit to Denmark is still in effect, and I know for sure that I'll be there to take you out for the best vegetarian meal we can find in the city!).

Rotimatic! Because gently caress making rotis I have to paint still lifes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsfccHgWDb0 Yes that's right this machine is as important to women's quality of life as cell phones and birth control   Browsing desi cooking forums: http://www.paklinks.com/gs/household-affairs-and-cuisine-corner/613634-roti-paratha-help.html quote:Hubby is now insisting too much on home made rotis/chappattis! I have tried so much to learn from my mum and even my in laws tried to teach me but I still haven't got hang of it. quote:Get a roti maker. It's pretty decent. Will cost you about 50 dollars from amazon. The only thing is that because it's a press, you don't get the ballooning effect when you make roti the traditional way, so to don't get a top and bottom layers separated as you get in hand made roti. Other than that it's pretty OK. quote:No!!! Hubby will not be happy! quote:Have him make rotis if he has issues with your or want too many of them. quote:I m tired of roti making! Why can't men love rice!! quote:My thoughts exactly! I love rice but can't remember the last time I had it b/c hubby hates rice It's like a time machine into 1960's America and being judged on your coffee

Fo3 posted:If you're posting, you don't have depression based on personal experience - well not bad deep down as bad as it goes kind. But that's a good thing! gently caress you, I'm practically catatonically depressed, and I can still post. Don't tell Dino what depression is. I'm just a lurker but he's great people, no one needs you telling them exactly how their mental/emotional state is *supposed* to play out. I know the threads just decided to ignore you and pass by your post for the most part, but as a severely depressed person your post really pissed me off.

Apologies to you, but I meant from personal experience. I literally couldn't talk IRL for months, and couldn't bring myself to talk about issues even online - I'd type some BS then just delete it because it was the ramblings of a xxxxxxxx person. Apologies to dino. too, I meant no harm and I am still dumb even if not so depressed. Everyone is different, and I was only trying to cheer him up in some way.

Not gonna lie, that rotibot is churning out some tasty looking rotis. That's worth $50 if you eat rotis all the time. e: On the other hand a $6 tortilla press can make rotis just as good if you know how to cook a thing.

Well, a roti press is $50 (something like a tortilla press with one heated side), that rotimatic is still "coming soon" and they're not making the price public yet.

Thanksgiving in my house is very traditional, the exact same dishes every year, turkey cooked and carved the old fashioned way, with breadcrumb/chestnut stuffing baked inside. I've been beating the "let's break up the turkey before cooking" drum for a few years now, but mom just won't hear it. But... she had major surgery on Monday, and is going to be bedridden for a few weeks... and she suggested that she might let me cook the turkey any way I want this year. Oh boy oh boy I'm so excited to do it right!  I've never been so grateful for a loved one to be so ill.

I got married two weeks ago, but I've never had a roti before. If I get this machine for my wife, will it tell me if I've made a huge mistake? If I have, should I keep a roti as evidence against her in divorce court?

We've been discussing the rotimatic. I figure if it's less than $300 and works, I'll probably buy one and just not bother eating any other kind of bread. Out of tortillas? Use a roti. Roti-quesadilla? Sure, why not? Crap, there's no bread for toast. That's okay, I'll just spread some peanut butter on this hot, fresh, roti. If they can bring the price down within ten years or so, or if someone starts making them more cheaply, I absolutely expect them to save a lot of women a lot of time. (PS the biggest invention on that list as an aid to women is probably the washing machine). Anyway as I told ricola elsewhere, my only complaint is their claim about eating fewer calories. I would eat so many, many more calories. All the calories. All the roti.

Syfy and I drank all the bourbon and I look like I lost a fight with a wood chipper and I might still be drunk so I think we had a great time. Tonight we're all going to eat Szechuan and probably get lovely again.

Oh man, I just got spoiled. I have a bunch of Vietnamese students, and I love Vietnamese food so sometimes we talk after school about how awesome Vietnamese food is and they laugh at me trying to pronounce the names of things. I can say pho right now, that's about it. So anyhow one of the kids shared with her mom about it and her mom was all, "want to come try some Vietnamese food?" and I said hell yes. So we meet in Little Saigon and have dim sum at this Chinese/Vietnamese place, and then she takes me to all these places that are the best bahn mi place, best pho place, best supermarket, best fruit stand, and so on. Completely spoiled me and my husband buying us things to try. I can't even count all the stuff we tried that we'd never had before. Jellyfish, sea snails (two kinds!), little jelly candies, jackfruit, mangosteen, rambutan, these little green fruits that were kind of like grapes with thick skins. The only things we saw and didn't try were balut and durian. The first one because we were just too full, and the second because well, meh. Jellyfish was way different than I was expecting. Also, it was funny how many things I saw that I recognized as Filipino food. Like puto (but I think it was called bo?).

Get her to make roti for you from scratch; if she can't, and needs a machine, then you've made a terrible mistake.

I just made some tempeh, and once I was done I realized that it might have been a good idea to document the process here. Is that a thread people might be interested in? I don't know how exciting 'add inoculant to hulled soybeans, wait' is, but detailed instructions aren't really out there in English as far as I can tell.

Yeah I tried to make some ~6 months ago and it didn't turn out too good. I think it was a combination of overcooking the beans and using chana dal instead of soybeans (so the taste & texture were a bit off). I'd definitely like to get it right since that's one of my favorite foods & it's a bit expensive to buy at the grocery but cheap to make.
