On the other hand, if kids ate as many cherry tomatoes or whole olives as they do grapes, they'd probably be tied for third. don't you dare talk bad about my cherry tomatoes.

Honestly, as you pointed out this is such a small number that I can only conclude GOD wanted your kid to die and you're a bad parent and he's teaching you a lesson. Or ya know what, poo poo loving happens and sometimes it's sad.

Edit: I’m clearly a loving monster for not cutting up my children’s grapes, you should probably ignore my meltdown and mince all food into a pulp and take it intravenously, to minimise the risk of choking and/or enjoyment Scientastic fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Aug 22, 2019 |

I get mad about parental oneupmanship too, but I direct that anger at people who pressure moms to make homemade Oreos and homemade poptarts and poo poo. I'm not mad at parents who just don't want dead babies.

There's seedless grapes and grapes too. The lack of seeds means they don't need to be chewed. Buy your kids seeded grapes and they'll find the truth and light that is cherry tomato.

Anne Whateley posted:Between 66 and 77 kids die from choking on food each year. But every year, 12,000 kids get taken to the ER from choking on food. There are a lot of very bad outcomes, like permanent brain damage from oxygen deprivation, that aren't outright deaths. Plus not all choking is the same. Sometimes, food does go down the wrong pipe but does not completely obstruct the airway. Still bad, but not as bad as not being able to breathe at all. Foods like hot dogs, grapes, and hard candies are more dangerous because when they get lodged in the throat, they're more likely to completely obstruct the airway than not. Trying to avoid preventable injury and death in kids who can barely speak is not some sort of mollycoddling. It's the sensible loving thing to do. There's no sort of PANIC about kids eating whole grapes. There is, however, sensible people telling otherwise-clueless parents about potential dangers to avoid, that's all.

Dill havarti is pretty good as a snack but i feel like the dill is doing all the work. i recently came across this https://www.google.com/amp/s/thetakeout.com/cheese-does-not-belong-on-every-sandwich-1833297224/amp which you could rightly argue is a stupid article but it has.made me think more about why i would put cheese on a sandwich. like i think havarti and provolone are absolutely lost in any cold sandwich other than a cheese & pickle.

I love it and use it in literal stuffed pork chops. Not that cut in half butterfly poo poo. Artichoke hearts, havarti, spinach, pipe into center cut hole. Then wrap the chop in bacon. Sear for crust, in over for like 20min-30 min or something. I love the creamyness that it provides.

I keep loving up my brown rice, what the hell is the proper rice/water ratio? I'm using long grain brown rice. The bag suggests 1 cup rice, 2 1/2 cups of water which just gave me insanely wet rice. I tried 1 cup rice, 1 1/4 cups water; got dry, slightly undercooked rice. I just don't want to gently caress up my rice a third time this week, what am I doing wrong.

Havarti is a good cheese, and don't let anyone tell you different. I like it as a topper for toasted blueberry muffins. Take a blueberry muffin, cut it in half, then toast it. Then throw a couple slices of havarti on it. That's high living.

I feel like I'm some sort of rice rebel or something. I just rinse my rice under running water, dump it in a saucepan, pour boiling water from the kettle over it until the pan is 3/4 full, then boil white rice for 12 minutes brown for 25 and then drain it. I finish by putting the rice back in the hot pan with the lid on and let it sit for 10 minutes or so before eating.

big dyke energy posted:I keep loving up my brown rice, what the hell is the proper rice/water ratio? I'm using long grain brown rice. Pasta method that summbitch. Large quantities of water, bring to furious boil. Salt nicely. Add rice. Cook until about 90% cooked. Drain the rice of the water, but not till bone dry. Throw some oil in the bottom of the pot, dump back in the rice, and put the lid on. Let it sit over residual heat (for electric job) or over lowest lowest heat for about 10 minutes. RE pickling Look for It’s Alive with Brad on the YouTube. EDIT: looks like someone beat me to the punch.

I do like a slightly chewy rice, so I'm going to try 1.5 cups of water to 1 cup rice this time. I will never use the pasta method for rice, that's insane.

This might be an oddball request, but what should I do with 3 pounds of butter? A buddy of mine, along with his wife, gave it to me as they are severely lactose intolerant and can't use it themselves. I live alone and I'm single, so anything I make needs to either freeze well or just use a ton of it. I've already given away what I could. And no, don't ask me why they had so much butter. It's currently in my freezer since it would certainly go rancid if I left it in the fridge.

big dyke energy posted:I do like a slightly chewy rice, so I'm going to try 1.5 cups of water to 1 cup rice this time. Getting the ratio right for rice is nontrivial IMO, so you weren't doing anything wrong. The right ratio will change based on the cooking vessel and heat level that the rice is cooked with. You just want to get enough water for the rice to absorb, plus the amount of water that will evaporate during cooking. Then you have to get the heat level right, if it's too hot it will burn and scorch on the bottom, and if it's too cold the rice won't cook in time. For white rice, my method (before receiving a rice cooker as a gift) was 1) measure the evaporation rate of the pot I was using and 2) use a 1:1 rice to water ratio, plus enough water to cancel out evaporation losses. This seemed to work across several different stoves and pots, but I never tried it with brown rice.

A Proper Uppercut posted:Can I replace milk with almond milk in a standard non buttermilk pancake recipe? If you are using off the shelf almond milk I'd compare nutrition facts. Relatively same sugars, fats and proteins, go ahead. If you're doing homemade it's more of a question mark but still, slightly worse pancakes are still pretty good. I take it this is just a substitution out of convenience rather than diet, if buttermilk is still being used?
