My mum was horrified when she had one of my sister's friends come over for a sleep over. She wandered into the kitchen, pulled out the milk, poured herself a glass, and then put the glass in the sink. Thank gods the phone rang, or that could've ended badly. White people.

Anyways - anybody is free to everything that is in my fridge, because nobody should go hungry, what is mine is yours! And I am not embarrassed by old carrots, things that are over their expirery date or anything like that.

dino. posted:Speaking of kitchens. It took me the LONGEST time to get used to the concept of "help yourself" in someone else's house. As a kid it was absolutely terrifying. I'd be at a friend's house, and they'd be all "I'm hungry. Let's go raid the fridge." That'd be OK. However, sometimes it'd be like "You hungry? OK, just go get whatever from the fridge. I'm good. Maybe just grab me a soda." And I'd be all "Oh poo poo oh poo poo oh poo poo oh poo poo what do I doooooooo?" Rural Ontario (Canada) is much like that. Even through high school parties were BYOB. You always just take care of your own poo poo - drinks, food, whatever. Don't eat other people's food - be hungry untuil you get home. It was a real adjustment in my later 20s and especially when I was in say England where everyone took turns buying rounds. Still feels weird when things aren't framed as a 1:1 trade-off.

ya know what grinds my gears the trend of really contrasty food photos. I know what this should look like in real life, and I imagine it would look tasty, but being retouched the way it is, it looks like a gigantic pile of burnt barely recognizable garbage. why oh why is this even a trend.

So, I came up with a really good drink. To start with, I made these salt preserved limes a while ago. Limes, salt, cardamom, bay leaf. They've been sitting for like six months or more? I don't know. Anyway, I take one of these preserved lime wedges and muddle it in the bottom of a glass with a cube or two of sugar, then add a couple of fingers of gin and a couple of ice cubes. Voila, instant deliciousness with good complexity. Anyway they lend themselves to drinking A. Lot. Of. and the salt is nice because it replaces electrolytes or some poo poo.

For the limes? For a 1 pint mason jar it's like, enough wedged limes to fill it up, a couple of tablespoons salt, a teaspoon or so of ground green cardamom, and a couple of bay leaves, and then enough lime juice to fill it to the brim. Shake it really good, and let it sit for a month or so, turning it every couple of days to distribute the salts that fall out of solution. Then they just chill until you need them.

"Rustic" is how I describe a thing I was too lazy to do properly, like mashing refried beans. It's not halfassed, it's rustic!

Depending where you live, Artesian either means specially made by one dude in a converted woodshed, or full as sulphur and smelling like hell.

Marta Velasquez posted:Even in woodworking, mistakes and misalignments are now "giving it a rustic feel." Part of my dad's job involves beating the poo poo out of wooden furniture with nail-boards and fistfuls of rocks before putting a bit of stain and sealant on it to make it look "rustic" or "antique." You'd be amazed at what rich people will knowingly pay you to do to their stuff and their walls, but that's partially because the materials for faux finishing are  expensive as a consequence.

Haha, I'm the kind of rear end in a top hat who faux-antiquates certain pieces. Sometimes all you can get is something new or something you custom built, and it just looks too NEW. Until I whack it with a chain a few times. Although my favorite thing is taking ugly wooden pieces with nice shapes, painting them in white then brightly-colored milk paint and breaking the edges with sandpaper.

I had a delivery driver look at my original floors in my last house (built in 1956) and tell me about how when he worked with a flooring contractor, people would pay extra money for him to use a brad nailer to put brads halfway in, then pull them and stain the holes to look like (I guess) they had been covered with carpet (tack strips) for years.

I'm going to be a millionaire by being first into an untapped market. I'm going to create "Rustic Eats," a restaurant where I serve previously-chewed food. My second restaurant will be more upscale. I'll serve food that I've previously digested. I'll be famous famous for my take on the rustic gastronomical experience.

People who do that to old intact plank floors should be given an attitude adjustment in the face with a metal chair.
