My grandmother had dementia and had to have thickened drinks, and she didn't understand why she couldn't have martinis anymore. We talked about making her a thick martini but decided that was just plain wrong. I can't believe no one on Youtube seems to have done that, but here's Emmy triying thick drinks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyJ41PG2OQw

I dunno, I think the specific inclusion of edible oil in a food recipe is suspect.

I know, my "I love [edible] oil" T-shirt is raising a lot of questions...

My favorite food is Edible.

Reminds me of those old advertisements bragging that they are "digestible". I didn't even know that was a concern I should have about food.










This one is digestible and promises not to heat the blood which is another thing I didn't know I should be worried about.

"Right amount."

Is that the cooking equivalent of "it came to me in a dream" as a footnote?

Nah that's standard in Chinese recipes. Nothing is measured, it's just "use the right amount of X" and I shake the recipe shouting that if I knew the right amount I wouldn't need to be reading this.

The recipe merely tells you what's in it. How much, is your taste.

Yes, this applies to baking as well. Taste carefully.

it bespeaks a point of view where education is not done by writing, and the main tool of writing is as aide-memoire as opposed to a tool for thinking or a tool for communication

so if you see it in a book you need to kick the editors rear end in addition to the drat fool writer's

Cold with granulated sugar on top, you don’t ever stir this, you first pat it down a down a little and gently pour the milk over so the sugar doesn’t sink to the bottom. Why yes I only ever had this when my grandma watched me and yes this was the only cereal in the house. Still love it and go full OCD eating it every 5 years.

Grape Nuts baked into muffins or whatever are perfectly fine, presenting them as a cold cereal is just a cruel joke on anyone involved.

In sexual elk's defense it sounds like there was some sort of arcane eldritch ritual that had to be performed perfectly each time in order to make them edible. Any cold cereal where you have to be more careful than "dump cereal in bowl" followed by "dump milk in bowl" is more preparation than I'm willing to give cold cereal. (Fruit or sugar is allowed but should be equally dumpable which is why I prefer berries over bananas in my breakfast)

It's right there in the recipe "monosodium glutamate: 1 small tbs"

And yeah, that "the right amount" stuff is exactly how I write down recipes that are just for me to use - it's just a reminder not to forget a bit of whatever, but I don't need an exact number.

I found a set of measuring spoons in Daiso that had 大さじ (tablespoon), 小さじ (teaspoon), and 少々 (a pinch). I still regret not buying them.
