We were allowed to get unchill. Which is nice, but sometimes it got too unchill.

when fizzy/catpetter caught 30 days there were a few folks who don't normally post there that followed the leper's colony entry to the cccc thread and one of them had discord screens from years ago they tried to own me with. im pretty sure my mentioning being assaulted wasn't part of them trying to own me but it was pretty o_O to see pulled out like that

Terrible. Another side effect of allowing unchillness to fester.

Just getting inspiration from recipes and winging it 99% of the time is the way to go, at least if you or anybody you're feeding aren't picky eaters. If you do have picky eaters maybe someone else can help because I've got no solution. It's hard to really gently caress up a lot of food.

This is basically how Ive been doing it the last few years with mixed results. Turns out I can make a pretty good Japanese curry but cannot make a samosa to save my life. Im pretty proud of my beef stroganoff too, though apparently its blasphemy to serve it on rice instead of noodles.

tbh the latter is not a problem with you, it's a problem with us. that said, there are some useful tricks to know, e.g., that every salad is made with mayo, and that all but like half a dozen salads will not have a name, and will be instead called "salad with <ingredient>" or "salad with <ingredient1> or <ingredient2>". same goes for soups, minus the mayo part (usually)

Perhaps I should have tried to get an IK first. I'm considering that now, and remaking the thread with rules about not talking about D&D or posters who aren't there. But I'm not sure if the crew would still be interested under those conditions.
Yeah I dunno… I think that there is entertainment value and possibly a chance for community-building in meta-discussion about D&D (in general, not sure how valuable talking about non-participating individuals is. I did participate in that a bit but it felt pretty gross.) And of course there are places on the forums to do that, but, uhhh, you know. Glad you are considering other/better ways to implement the idea, anyway.

There are far too many people here who think that the only funny jokes are deeply personal insults to complete strangers who don't deserve it and they never get anything more than a 6er or 1 day probe when they should just straight up be banned

:rip: oh well, gonna enjoy the superpower of growing up with unseasoned food and thus being able to appreciate literally anything seasoned
What up unseasoned childhood buddy?

I find the Kenjis of the world great for the "how/why does this work?" side of things, and once I have that down for a particular method or spice or combination, I'll straight up google for related recipes containing my desired ingredients and if it looks plausible, make it twice. Once as is (or close), and once with what I think will be improvements. Gotten pretty good at knowing when it's going to be worth continuing to iterate vs cutting bait.

That said, I do like one recipe a week that way because most of what I eat comes out of a few mealprepped protein bases and I'm, at most, making sauces.

chicken breast, salsa veggies, herbs, and spices in a pressure cooker, shred the chicken after in a food processor and whisk lowfat cream cheese and something cheddarish into the veggies and juices until creamy, then readd the shredded chicken
