Shake it baby
I have nothing to contribute to the cooking discussion but I wanted to post this:



I got home about an hour ago and five cats ran up to greet my car, I think I'm officially a crazy cat lady.

I googled my username and the second result is my old OKCupid profile which was moronic to use the same name for so I need to change it stat (even tho' I'm pretty much the most inoffensive poster ever). (Also, I thought the profile was clever when I wrote it like four years ago but now it sounds annoying)

aww baby :(

both my current cat and dog were rescues but they don't get along very well

we got her as a kitten but she kind of stopped getting bigger way earlier than most cats probably would, but she got more affectionate as she got older now she's just this dainty old lady with a big fluffy collar

nobody thinks this but it is the truth: italian food is the simplest of all cuisines. the point is excellent ingredients. everything else grows from there.

you can't make a caprese salad with bad tomatoes, for instance. four ingredients, maybe five or six. that's all.

Italians have the best lemons, the best tomatoes and the best pasta. I could never be unhappy with those things. If you gimme garlic too.

My cat was a tiny little baby kitten that was abandoned when we got him and now hes a big fat nerd who pretends to hate everyone and rules the basement with an iron fist(paw?)

My dog on the other hand was physically grown but was mentally a puppy so he was super awkward and not trained at all

even after 4 years he constantly smashes his head into stuff because he forgets how big he is

he's also terrified of my cat despite being 4 times as big as him

Cheese is also good on fruit, pasta, meat

Like, if you get a piece of cheese, put it on top of a carrot, and wrap that in pastrami or roast beef... It's weird, but good weird.

One guy I knew when I was younger insisted mice and rats had no bones. That's how they could fit through small spaces. Not cartilage, nothing. No bones.

I'm low on groceries so I don't have meat or fruit. Well I have bananas and avocados but I'm not sure those would go well with cheese, and spinach and mushrooms are reserved for cooking. Also I hate the texture and flavor of raw carrots so I wouldn't put delicious cheese on them.

Need recipe pls.

I don't have a written recipe, but this'll do. I use this as a base -

1 medium onion (or a few shallots), minced
3-4 stalks lemongrass, outer leaves remove, ends removed, minced
handful of basil leaves
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tblspoon fish sauce
1-2 inch knob of ginger, peeled and minced
3 cans coconut milk
about 2 cups of chicken stock

sweat the onion and lemongrass together on low heat until soft but don't let them brown. When they are soft, add the ginger, garlic and basil and saute for about a minute, don't let the garlic brown. Add the fish sauce, coconut milk and stock, bring to a simmer and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain the solids out and return the liquid to the pot. From there, you can do almost anything -
I dont' normally use prepared stuff, but the Thai Kitchens red curry paste and green curry paste are a lifesaver here. Take about 2 tblspoons of either and whisk it into the liquid. Add 2 more cans of coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Here you can add anything, sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, sliced chicken, tofu, etc. Tonight I have sliced chicken, a red bell pepper, a handful of sweet peppers and sliced mushrooms. Add everything, simmer for about 10min until cooked through or soft, add salt to taste (usually takes a couple of teaspoons) and a squirt of lime juice at the very end, maybe half a lime.

I like my avocado drenched in black pepper with some salt and it is amazing smushed onto some whole wheat bread.

It's irrelevant though because I can't eat an entire avocado at 11:40, I would feel really bad about myself. *shoves face with cheese*

Avocado is better for you than the cheese. Just saying.

Also I can eat a fairly small piece of cheese but preserving a cut avocado is a huge pain so I'd either waste it or eat too much.

They're still perfectly edible even when they've gone a bit brown. Have half tonight and the other half for breakfast tomorrow
