How the gently caress does it take that guy 20 minutes to make scrambled eggs anyway?

Just used some thyme, man I love thyme. Love the feeling of the thyme on my fingers and the smell of those little pretty leaves. Hurts to take it off my thyme plant but I feel like it appreciates the need for thyme in my life. Sometimes I get annoyed with the stems coming off when I'm trying to just use the leaves and maybe some cool guy or gal would have a tip here for how to de-thyme a thyme stalk. Also some of my thyme leaves are purple which is fine by me if they want to be that way but does that mean they're too old or too young and I should pick a different area? Thanks in advance, I'm going to go smell thyme; More like dreamsthyme am I right?

Pull down on the stem from tip towards central stalk and all the leaves should come off in your fingers

Sometimes it works to grab and hold the time sprig by the tip furthest from the root end and with your thumb and index finger pull agains the leaves from the tip to the base. Sometimes I remove the very tip since it's usually more tender and has a cluster of a few leaves, and that leaves a stronger woodier piece to hold onto while I pull the rest of the leaves off. How purple? It could be the variety or like flowers I guess? (I'll assume you know what a flower is and it's not that)

Yeah it often just breaks off for me when I do that but I have big stupid fingers and maybe I'm just the Lennie to the delicate thyme rabbits. I'll have to try holding it closer to the base but I feel like at this point I'll be picking them off the stalk my whole life. How purple: they aren't wilted or anything so I think it's just random variation but I figured this would be the place to ask. Here's a good photo from GIS:

I rarely bother leaving thyme in its super-pretty whole leaf form because I have the same problem you do. Maybe my thyme stalks are too delicate, or I don't know my own strength? Whatever. I just cut along the sides of the stalk with a pair of scissors. It takes all the leaves off, even though a few end up cut in half. Takes about 5 seconds, too.

You need to start far enough down that the stalk doesn't split.

If I'm putting thyme in something like a stew or a braise or something with a bit of liquid, I just throw the whole stem in there. Fish it out at the end of cooking. If you cook it long enough, like a stew, the leaves will just fall off. If not, it still flavors the dish anyway.

Yeah I do this when I can, specifically for finishing a steak if I'm panfrying - I tilt the pan up and let the thyme infuse the butter as I baste it up onto the meat.

I'm used to being the old guy in the crowds in the crowds I usually run with (whether they're 20 something musicians or 50 something university faculty doesn't matter). Maybe being cynical and having the black and white beard have something to do with that, though.

There's nothing wrong with growing older, as a male, it doesn't get frowned upon, your grey hair is taken as signifying wisdom and aptitude. It is not so much the process of going from a young wine to a well aged one, but more transforming from a fine wine to an even finer cognac. Life is getting distilled into you. Like smoking a pipe rather than a cigarette. It is different for the ladies, there the transformation from maiden to crone is almost instantaneous, it is a spontane, overnight transformation which is impossible to foresee, oddly it happens later in life for them.

I have a beard I am letting grow out that is mostly brown but also has some random blond hairs in it. The other day I was on my way to the gym and noticed a very very light beard hair, which I plucked to further examine. It was not blond, it was my first grey hair, and I'm only 32. At least I know I'll go grey and have a full head of hair than go bald.

I'm 32, and I've been gradually going grey for about a decade. Nowt wrong with grey hairs, they look distinguished.

I got my first grey hairs on my temples, at 23! Currently my goatee is white with a sprinkling of grey. I'm not sure what color the remainder of my head hair is, because I shave my head.
