amarantinesky posted:Cute I actually love our gray furniture because it means one wall in the room can be bright orange and I can re-paint it whatever color I want whenever I want. My bedroom would fail that test so hard, though. We don't actually have a bedframe and my nightstand is actually a box of books I never unpacked. Also the dresser drawers are always open because despite getting a kind I thought was cat-proof, it turns out nothing is cat-proof to a cat who only ever wants to be in a drawer. Unless someone is basing this on number of empty CamelBak water bottles on the floor next to a bed. Because I have two. e: grapey posted:Pretty kitty! I see drowsy eyes, not plotting eyes. You've fallen for her ploy. They are just drowsy, though. She sleeps propping herself up on a blanket into a sitting position and never seems to close her eyes all the way. I've never seen a cat fight sleep so much.

My poor kitty is hiding because there are three 7-year old girls here decorating cookies who keep taking breaks to chase him. My husband has abandoned me to the girls and taken my poor cat with him. It is so loud in here.

amarantinesky posted:There used to be a show on MTV or something called Room Raiders I think. They would have a college-aged kid inspect different rooms and decide which person to go on a date with solely based on their bedrooms. It was pretty awesome. I want to go on that show and see what kinds of assumptions people make about me based on my ecletic decor. Aw poo poo, I saw an episode of that show. The only things I remember is the chick found a jar full of loose change in one of the rooms and assumed that meant the guy was poor and she didn't want to go out with a poor guy, and over the course of the thing you could see the guys get less and less interested in her and by the end the guy who "won" was really unconvincingly forcing a smile about it.

i dont take pictures of my cats because the one i really want to take pictures of (because she is tiny as hell, like half the size of a full grown cat, might maybe weight 3 lbs max) is pulling all of her fur out and looks terrible and if im not taking pictures of one im not taking pictures of any of them

The girls are gone and we just enjoyed our MLK-inspired supper of greens and hush puppies. Now I'm out of cayenne and about to make an internet spice order. What else should I buy? I need cumin, coriander and cayenne and always have chili and paprika and various curries. What spices should I try?

Where are you buying from? What do you already have, and what do you cook? I like a couple of Penzey's mixes and barbecue rubs and baking stuff, along with the basics. And I always have to hold back from straight-up snorting their toasted onion powder.

And I always have to hold back from straight-up snorting their toasted onion powder. Penzeys! And I've never bought there before. I cook mostly curries and stews and soups and things that I can cook for a long time (like, slow cooked stuff.) I'm always down for branching out. I can't BBQ (no place to grill.) Tonight I made southern american, I like mexican (tex-mex and baja mex) and we make a lot of Asian because well, we live here. I don't bake much because time, but I like to even though I suck. I have S&P in lots of varieties (tellicherry, white and pink; himalayan ground and solid chunks and also kosher flake and some kind with a fish on it and kanji that is SO good on grilled fish.) Oils a'plenty. Vanilla extract from Mexico, cinnamon, whole nutmeg, dill weed, paprika, 2 kinds of chili, fennel seed, celery seed, italian seasoning, 2 kinds of Mrs. Dash (because I like it in my canned tuna) red pepper flake, bay, bell's seasoning (for stuffin', must have.) We have home mixed chili blend (my 12 year old likes to make chili and makes his own spice blends, so we have "popcorn blend" and "Sam chili mix" also. So far in my cart are coriander, cumin, cayenne and malabar 'corns. The cake spice is tempting me and so is the southern breakfast sausage blend since the pork here is AMAZING.

I'm a big fan of penzey's blends. Adobo, Northwest, Sunny Paris, Fox Point and Turkish are staples for me.

For basic spices, I like turmeric even though it stains like a motherfucker. Mmmm, prawn curry with turmeric and coconut milk!

Turmeric and cumin are underrated. Adobo, on the other hand, confuses and angers me. It's so salty. Edit: Namely Goya brand Adobo. I thought it was a brand name until I googled otherwise. So am I now to assume not all Adobo is salty and vaguely garlicky and gross? Please enlighten, ladythread.

I never notice that Turmeric tastes like that much so I mostly use it for colour but it's possible my Turmeric is old/ my taste buds have been burned out by overzealous use of Cayenne (the best). My uncle gave me some black cardamom pods and curry leaves with my Christmas present of Rick Steins Indian cookbook. I haven't used them yet but he said the black cardamom is awesome.

i dunno what bb's recipe is but mine would be something like: 400g peeled prawns, a few cloves of garlic, a thumb-sized piece of ginger, a red birdseye chilli or two, 400ml of coconut milk, 1 1/2 tsp of powdered turmeric, a tbsp of oyster sauce, a splash of fish sauce and a whole bunch of sliced shallots and coriander

My new favorite thing on Netflix is An Idiot Abroad. I haven't laughed so hard in ages. Last night one of my cats knocked my coat onto the floor and made a bed out of it. It was so covered in hair I had to wear an older one, and it feels weirdly big and awkward. It's a lovely coat, but the other one fits like a glove.

It would be pretty much impossible for that to taste bad. Will have to wait for a day when my housemate isn't home because he hates seafood, the weirdo.

i would fiddle with some of those proportions to suit your tastes though, since i forget how much 400g of prawns is. that seems high in hindsight. if you like poo poo more coconutty then add more milk imo, and no fish sauce if you don't like salty, or a tsp of kecap manus instead of fish sauce. but that combination of ingredients in my brain and the vague proportions sound good to me
