I figure with onions a face shield wouldn't help that much. The compound that's released is a gas so I'd think that it's mostly just it diffusing rather than droplets from cutting. So if you could smell the onion then it may make your eyes water. I also wear glasses and I occasionally have trouble with onions. But tight fitting goggles may reduce the gas permeation and so may work. But I could be wrong on this, maybe onion droplets coming from cutting are actually worse than just gas diffusion, I have no idea.

I wear glasses and often cry like a baby cutting onions. I either have very sensitive eyes or eat a lot of ornery onions (or just a lot of onions in general). Any kind of barrier will help to some degree, but you're still going to have gas getting under a face shield.

Use a sharper knife. Sharper knife=less cell damage=less onion gas

Cream is as well and it gives a distinct taste. It makes the milk taste more like I think cream tastes so I like it better. It’s also nice that it keeps forever because I don’t drink a ton of milk.

With the eggs it's really more the free ranging and pasturing that makes them good - organic isn't a part of it. Same with beef, milk products, etc. The terroir matters with these things. Also, croat - the color of those yolks will change throughout the year as the diet varies.

Mr. Wiggles posted:Also, croat - the color of those yolks will change throughout the year as the diet varies. I've noticed that! It was always richer (I started this year) and brighter but right now they're so orange it's crazy. And yeah I know it's because the diet rather than "organic", it just made me think about "premium" versions of foodstuffs we all buy. I wish I had the cash for true grass fed beef but not right now. Maybe when I'm an empty nester. Oh and for the Milk, I agree about UHT. I my family can take forever to go through milk (or if they get on a chocolate milk kick they plow through it in a few days and I have to yell) so that's nice but it also tastes richer than plain old cheapo milk. Don't know the science behind why, it just is imo.

is that a full-on PAPR? lmao I'm either super lucky or super weird, but onions have never bothered me while I sliced or diced or whatever. Obviously capsicums aren't allums, but hot peppers absolutely gently caress with my eyes and nose, so it isn't like I'm down mucus membranes or whatever

That said, it does make me think its more about airborne particles because the other thing that makes my eyeballs go nuts only if I'm wearing glasses is smoke.

SubG posted:Yeah, I don't give a poo poo about organic from a hippy dippy ritual purity standpoint, but there are a few things that I'll buy the organic version of purely for the accidental side effects--like eggs having better terroir or whatever you want to call it as a result of diet--or sometimes just because the organic version is the only version available. Like locally if you're buying mushrooms your options most of the time are a) conventionally-farmed white button mushrooms in a tub covered in cellophane (so you can't look them over and discover that all of the caps are already open) or b) literally every other kind of mushroom, including all of the ones sold loose. Same thing with virtually all of the "upscale" veg. Like ordinary broccoli you can find "conventional", but baby broccoli/broccolette/broccolini (which I love for dry braising in stir fry) is almost always only in the organic section. Yeah, absolutely. I buy 'organic' eggs and milk because that's what the better small local producers sell, and I'm here for the quality rather than the label.

I will sometimes just blend a can of tomatoes with some garlic and half an onion. I make leftovers pizza all the time with curry or chile verde or whatever there's extra sauce of.

One time when I was trying to do the gain a lot of weight/get strong/powerlift thing, I was trying to drink A Gallon Of Milk A Day. I was at work, working the medical floor of a hospital, you know just kinda bullshitting it was a slow night. I had the gallon on my desk and was trying to drink the whole thing. About 3/4 way in I started getting really, really itchy like my whole body was have an allergic reaction. My poop was like white. After that I've been disgusted by milk and don't mess with it.

Look, it is very sensible for your average 30 year old office worker trying to get a bit stronger to adapt a diet intended fora 17 year old football player that needs 8 000 calories a day to put on muscle fast enough. As fgor the UHT milk flavor difference. It's because it's boiled. That is what boiled milk tastes like. It becomes sweeter. Personally I'm not a fan, unless used in food where it would be cooked anyway, but I guess that depends on what you are used to.

Don't do this, but in my mind I am putting milk peanut butter and strawberries ito a Vitamix right now, maybe with some Flaxseed. How to thicken that would be a very good question. Also I am here to complain how hungry I am again, because I am in a rural town for another month and I haven't moved anything into my hotel I just sit here with no food available being hungry all night until the stores open at 6am.

If you have a high end blender you can use flax or chia seeds as a thickener. Don't be afraid of a little soy lecithin or xanthan gun either.

Speaking of habaneros, I had a bunch of them and was not interested in making more hot sauce or salsa since I have plenty of both. I wound up using some of them for pikliz and some of them for a mango shrub, but I still have maybe half a dozen left. I want to do something kind of unusual with them but I'm a little stumped. Cornbread...? I don't think gazpacho would be a weird use of the things but it might be a nice dish to say goodbye to the summer.
