I think it was this thread that first told me to use egg whites in them, and it completely changed my opinion of the drink. If you mix it right and get it cold enough, little ice crystals form in the froth on top. Without the egg, it's basically just a glass of lemonade.

Lemon lime Gatorade and whiskey works as a Whisky Sour and you get the benefit of electrolytes.

Yeah I know that's why I don't really post much in here. I've kind of moved on and frankly I have little interest in spending my spare time outside of work doing work by educating you bunch about alcohol.

Only so many ways to go "hey no pants and beer is great amirite guys?" in an effort to ignore lovely mental health before you have to seriously reconsider what it is you're doing with your life.

Or not. Each to their own.

Edit: Those who know me and have followed these threads and the hangouts for some time are aware that I've battled with dangerously high blood pressure for a long time. As I've mentioned before, getting that and my general poo poo together have been a big thing over the last year and a half. Not to be glib, but not being an alcoholic sad sack is a big part of that. Which seems to ultimately be what "bachelor" seems to boil down to more often than not.

Thanks dude :) It has been an interesting year or so, that's for drat sure. There are a few wonderful people from the bachelor poo poo threads who have really helped and supported me through some tough stuff, so I can't exactly say it hasn't been without its perks.

I still maintain that chili needs beans and showerbeers are cool. But that's not something which I want to define my entire personality on anymore. :beerpal:

There's a point? Maybe you've missed the point. Being a bachelor is about doing what you want, when you want, because you enjoy it and you don't give a drat whether other people like it. If you want to cum in a vase, go for it. If you want to drink until you pass out, more power to you. If you want to exercise and get in shape, awesome.

What being a bachelor is not about is being an upright prick who thinks he knows better than another stranger on the internet who he's never met before. And yes, I see the irony in my post.

bachelor is: sharing a fun 3br apartment in a fun part of town, when your bedroom is like 9'x10' yet has a king bed and 50" wall-mounted tv, and you have tons of booze and a dragon hoard of thousands of dollars worth of drugs, cool pets and cool roommates, and a bunch of members of the opposite sex that will come over at the drop of a hat, and multiple cool jobs that don't involve wearing nice clothes or moving around (leaving the apartment) if you don't feel like it

what can be better than that, unless you're old and decrepit and can't drink any more and need to play golf with racist old people?

What I was trying to say is what's been said pretty much every time someone rolls in here to tell us how incredibly disgusting their whatever is, and how they've rationalized it as okay 'because bachelor, amirite guys? :razz:': living the bachelor life is not the same as being a horrible shitbird slob that nobody would ever be seen with in public, much less go home with.

Stories like cumvase and taintboil are hilarious weird poo poo that passes through this thread for us to point and laugh at. They're not the way we actually behave. I think we laughed holepisser all the way off SA.

What are bachelor meals? I ask here because I've been eating basically takeaways and pasta (and stealing housemates leftovers) for the last month and the fridge is small and 1/2 filled with beer, between 4 of us living here thats not a lot of space left for food. And GWS intimidates me.

So as a poster in this thread what do you eat on a daily basis? preferably without hours of supervision or stir every 5 minutes for half an hour poo poo.

The general go-to bachelor meal is to make a pot of chili and live off of it for a week.

It's like there's a soup can in front of me!
Put a bunch of chicken breasts in a crock pot. Add salsa until it covers the chicken. Cook til the chicken shreds easily (ie set it and walk away for a couple hours/a workday). Shred all the chicken. Eat it for days and look like this: :smugbert:

Also add any vegetable or beans to make it more rad. Serve over brown rice, because that poo poo is good and good for you.

Here's how to make good not-sticky rice and not burn the gently caress out of the bottom layer of rice. Put a colander in a big bowl. Put your dry rice in the colander. Run cold water over the rice for several minutes while you agitate it with your hand; you are rinsing off the surface starch (if you want sticky rice, don't rinse it). You put the colander in a bowl so the rice that makes it out of the holes doesn't go down your drain (more than a very little dry rice down the drain is Very Bad for your pipes).

Drain the colander and dump the rice into a bigass pot. Put a shitload more water in the pot than the traditional 1:2 rice:water recipe calls for, probably more like 1:4 rice:water. This is so it never boils dry (and burns). Pretend you are cooking pasta. Boil the rice until you bite a piece and the texture is the way you like it. Pour it all out into the colander; no need for the bowl anymore because this is now cooked plump rice.

This is the magic: turn off the burner and immediately pour the rice out of the colander and into the pot again. Slam the pot lid on and let it sit for a full five minutes. Fluff and serve. The rice and the pot have enough residual heat to keep the rice cooking and absorbing most of the remaining moisture. Personal taste will dictate how long you let it drain in the colander before it goes back in the pot, and how long it stays in the covered pot to finish.

I used to hate cooking rice.

You don't need to do that with brown rice — just 1:2 rice:water works a treat. To improve brown rice, the following:

A glug or two of oil in the pan, LOTS of turmeric, heat it up until the turmeric just starts to sizzle. Chuck in the rice, mix it around until it's coated nice and yellow. Let it heat up nicely before dumping the water in. Bring to boil, then stick a lid on and put it on your smallest ring on its lowest setting.

Leave for forty minutes.

Shovel into face.

Some people can do 1:2 and not burn it, more power to them. A lot of people can't; they are who this alternative is for. The point isn't about special treatment for brown rice or anything, it's "Here's A Pretty Idiot-proof Way To Make Rice That Won't Burn" (unless you try really hard).
