so i just briefly looked at some android period tracking apps and i guess they have a point about them being gendered...

basically they're all minorly relevant to various aspects. most of these apps are just glorified journals with some low level prediction stuff

loving hipster fucks leave fish and chips alone they're loving fine, they got it right about 150 years ago, they don't need reinventing, and you loving hoxton twats aren't going to just swan in and loving tell people they've been doing it wrong all this time

also there's no such thing as "locally sourced" fish in london it's 50 miles inland and the only fish for a hundred miles in any direction are eels and you loving hipster cunts have driven all the eel shops out of business already. oh you mean you're going to buy them from billingsgate? well guess what so does every other good chippy in london, whoop-de-loving-do. oh you've locally sourced the potatoes? you mean buying them from kent like EVERY loving POTATO SOLD IN ENGLAND? HOLY loving poo poo!

god the amount of trendy fish and chip shops that charge you 15 quid for a tiny, overcooked bit of loving cod in an underwhipped bit of batter and 14 anemic chips with the skins still on is beyond a loving joke, and i want everyone who owns one and everyone who has ever eaten in one to die in a massive loving fire

yeah i know that's a lot of words about fatty food. everyone has to have one thing that they're willing to die for, and a good chippy is mine, even if the death is from congestive heart failure, idgaf.

fish in fish and chips is fried in batter, not breadcrumbs - basically the same stuff as pancake batter but slightly thicker and obviously unsweetened. it has to be heavily whisked to get air into it, otherwise you get a hard crust rather than a light crunchy one. for some reason every single "proper" chef manages to miss that step and it just loving ruins it

(alternatively they try and make a beer batter where the co2 from the beer replaces the whipping but they forget to let it stand and all that happens is all the co2 explodes out the moment it hits the oil so you're left with the same hard, stodgy crust but with the taste of stale beer too)

Yo you're not supposed to heavily work batter that's why you're supposed to use soda water or beer, whisking a lot is the wrong thing to do.

yes overworking anything with flour forms gluten which makes the batter tough/chewy and thick

this is why you knead bread dough (strong, hearty dough, a bit of chew - stuff you want in bread) whereas you never want to knead pastry/pie dough (because you want it to be tender, and you'll also melt the little pieces of fat, taking away the flakiness)

that's almost certainly where they're going wrong then - you don't over-work it but you do whip it a lot more than you would a pancake batter. also you always let it stand at least half an hour then whip it again quickly before you coat the fish - that's where they always go wrong with beer batter.

like i say this seems to be a universal thing whenever a "proper chef" tries to make fish batter, it always comes out far too thick and stodgy. also they always overcook it but that's probably just an effect of the too-thick batter not browning properly.

(e.g. look at the fish in that lovely kickstarter - looks like it's been loving breaded and toasted)

it's handy to track mood and pain levels for awhile when you start new contraception to see if it's working out for you, to gauge regularity if you're not, plan beach holidays, all kinds of mundane poo poo really
