I'm going to be mad if we can't have glowing fish by 2021.

Like given all the poo poo that the EU dumped into the environment either through consumer capitalism or unintended consequences of their various regulations (RoHS can eat a cadmium filled poo poo for the amount of extra waste it created), they're weirdly anal about the dangers of glowing fish.

I do not see the point of the cabbage when you have the far superior sprout.

If it ends up going starmer/rayner in the general that's going to be an interesting prospect.

Not least in the instance he tries to get rid of the membership democracy, as that would be good grounds for a leadership challenge.

I'd be relatively surprised if it does, and very disappointed.

I don't know if I'd even stay in at that point. I joined because we might do a socialism, I don't trust Starmer to do that.

I dunno if it's a symptom of the coronavirus I'm definitely dying of, or just the weird suggestibility of the human mind*, but I just did a piss and it smelt exactly like boiled cabbage/sprouts water.

* I mean it's pretty unlikely I can smell anything at all, given my entire upper respiratory tract is made of semi-set concrete because, like I say, dying of coronavirus here.

You actually have this backwards; cabbages, sprouts, etc. if boiled make the water they're boiled in smell like piss.

Boiled sprouts are loving disgusting and slimy. Roasted sprouts, as long as you do 'em just right, are fine. Sprouts fried in butter with a bit of bacon - gently caress. yes.

Had roasted sprouts for the first time this christmas (I'm 30) and holy poo poo they're an absolute delight. So much sweeter and flavorful, instead of being little balls of fart.

I don't think I've ever had boiled asparagus - it's always straight into the frying pan with them. Butter and pepper then fry until the tips start turning brown.

Ah see I've only ever had it steamed and it's nice when it goes right but really easily goes slimy.

I like veg soft but not slimy and that's like a 5 second window it feels like. Might try frying it.

The secret to making broccoli even better is to roast it too. Drizzle it with a decent amount of olive oil, then roast until it just starts to go brown. So drat good.

Sprouts have a really nice savoury flavour to them that's hard to replicate and goes really well with bacon.

Asparagus as part of a meal for two is easy to get right.

  1. Lay out four attached squares of kitchen roll.
  2. Place the asparagus along it, with each asparagu straight up on the short edge of the paper.
  3. Roll it up like a scroll. By which I mean roll it up from left to right, you don't have to put it on a special mat or chant or anything.
  4. Wet the whole thing. Not soaking, but get all the kitchen roll damp, then squeeze it out a bit, then leave it for 5 minutes.
  5. Place your vegetable scroll between two dinner plates like a clamshell.
  6. Microwave for 3 minutes.

You now have perfect soft steamed asparagus and two hot plates ready to serve the rest of the meal onto. Salt and butter to taste. The asparagus, not the plates.

My contribution to this is that actually steamed asparagus is pretty easy to do. Just don't forget the butter.

Pine nuts or almonds are good too if you're vegetarian. Balsamic vinegar, honey and walnuts or rice wine vinegar, hot sauce and cashews are probably my two favourite ways of frying them up.
