Aight, I will not stand for overnight oats slander.
Shit is delicious. Get your toppings and sweetner right, try it again and then come back.
No peasant had strawberries, bananas or blueberries to fuck around with. They ain't had maple syrup or Greek yogurt in that shit. No one thought to make butter from peanuts (I know it's mostly butter, shhh) and add that in.
what do you mean it's mostly butter? even peanut butter with added oil/sugar/salt is still some 85% peanuts. Or do you mean simply that it had a high fat content?
Can’t they make peanut butter where they don’t add anything at all? Like just peanuts?
Unsalted natural peanut butter is just roasted peanuts. Salted natural peanut butter is just peanuts and salt. The oil is just from the peanuts, not added.
No mix peanut butter is the same but with palm oil and usually whichever sweeteners are cheapest. Palm oil hardens at room temperature and keeps the peanut oil from separating.
Sounds like you've never been to a hippy store. They sometimes have machines that you pour the peanuts into and then you have some peanut butter. You can also have cashew butter, etc.
The peanut butter I buy is 99% peanuts and 1% salt.
What I buy is 100% peanuts and no salt.
They do! But the oil separates and you have to stir it first. And it needs to be refrigerated after opening.
Convenience, whether it's for the producer or consumer, got us again.
I have never, ever refrigerated peanut butter (the 99%+ peanuts kind).
The label on our jars just say to store in a cool, dry place - ie. in the pantry.
Fairly sure that seasonal berries would have been on the menu.
Honey as a sweetener seems viable
Greek yoghurt seems pretty likely anywhere cows were milked
We had berries just growing everywhere along the streets and forests as a kid. Where the fuck did they go?
The feudal lords also dit not have giga-yachts, enough wealth to buy social media companies and own about 50 politicians.
Yep. Rich get richer. It was also easier to hang them back then.
But overnight oats are still bomb.
That's a silly thing to say.
Peasants have land.
Pretty sure they usually worked/lived on the land owned by lords, no?
That would be serf, right?
Serfs were a subset of peasants from what i understand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peasant
"Peasant" was basically a farmer. Some peasants had land, many didn't. If you were a tenant farmer not only did you not own the land, in many cases the land owned you. In many cases you were born on the land and you "rented" it from the manor lord. That meant that you were allowed to grow crops on that land, but you owed the lord for letting you use his land. You'd pay that back with shares of your crop and/or labour on his crops. In return, he was responsible for defending you... but that meant he'd conscript you into his army and you'd fight the invaders.
If you didn't like that deal, too bad, if you were a villein you couldn't leave the land without the lord's permission. You weren't a slave exactly, but you weren't free to go find work elsewhere.
There were peasants who did own land, but it wasn't common. The equivalent today would be if you rented from a landlord, but you had to use a uber-jobs app that required you to do odd jobs for your landlord for free for 1-2 days a week.
Yeah, there was nothing good about it. My great great grandfather was a serf as a kid until it ended at the end of the 1840s. Almost all of the food they produced was taken by their lord. The little bit his family was allowed to keep wasn't enough to stop them from being sickly from hunger. They lived in a tiny cabin, and slept on what effectively were picnic table benches - two people per bench with their arms and legs hanging down to the floor from each side. There were just a couple differences between that and being slaves. Slaves were legally considered dead, serfs were not. Serfs were bound to the land, slaves were not. That meant a serf could only be bought and sold with the land, and serf families could not be split apart. It also meant they could not legally be murdered or raped. But they were expected to work for and give almost everything they produced to the lord, and they were not paid. They could not leave because they were bound to the land.
A lot of rich capitalist billionaires really would like to bring that back.
but i got an iphone, and it only took 100 payments of 9.99
"Everything is so expensive these days."
Says the person rocking the newest iPhone Pro Max (they literally just use it for Facebook and Temu).
Finance is a beautifully elegant con.
Honestly oats are one of my favorite foods though, I have binge eaten massive quantities of them before. I think I may have been a horse in a former life.
I built and lived in a tiny home for 7 years. 330 sq/feet. I gutted and converted a 1952 Spartan Imperial Mansion. Put in hardwood floors, a bathroom with clawfoot and bidet, a full-sized bed, a pull-out guest bed... I had a full kitchen and fridge, and enough storage for food, guitars, and other things.
I chopped firewood every day because I heated my place with it in the winter via hardwood stove.
I miss a lot about that lifestyle. What I don't miss was the isolation.
I've lived in both a large house and a tiny apartment, and there is just something super appealing about living somewhere that you can understand at a glance.
The only thing I didn't like about tiny studio apartments was the inevitable lack of noise isolation.
Now, my dream is to live in a house that probably is just a little too big to qualify as "tiny," but the house is on a decent piece of land. Basically a nice cabin in the woods sort of house, but without the horror movie connotation.
Smaller houses or apartments are actually great. Not like shed sized but 500-1000 sqft units are great for singles or couples on a budget. I've met a lot of retirees that downsize as well.
I want a tiny house because I don't have the time, energy or interest to care for a big house. Give me an adequately sized indoor space and a big garden
DO NOT call my overnight oats gruel. I make mine with brotein shakes and they fucking rule.
I am a daily oatmeal breakfast guy. It’s great for you and affordable. Definitely better for you than the egg, bacon, and pan fried potatoes. To each their own though, I would call people who eat oats peasants though lol
Overnight oats are fine. The tiny home shit gets to me.
I'm a tiny home dweller. It helps to be a small-statured nimble foldable person who never outgrew the thrill of having sleepovers in a fort, which I am. Now imagine the added thrill of having no mortgage, no rent, no utilities payments, debt-free, every dime I earn is mine to keep & spend as I wish, it's all pretty great.
That's awesome if it works for you, especially if it's your choice. I'm sure the stature helps tremendously.
What I don't like is single families competing with corporations for homes and driving the prices up to unaffordable levels, and then being fed all these videos about how we should cram ourselves into smaller and smaller boxes just so we could keep a buck we earn.
It's the same principle with buying a house. Once you own, your savings increases. Except I have a full sized washer and dryer with more leg room.
and? i love me some gruel. get some cinnamon, a little bit of coffee, some weed and some hatred, that's a good breakfast there
America: Land of the free, home of the brave. The richest nation in the world!
Also America: Gig economy so you can earn enough to stay off the streets or prison, where you can legally be made into a slave.
Overnight oats slap. I make mine with oat milk, which is an exciting meta. A bit of cinnamon sugar and vanilla sugar, some honey in the morning.
I'd be pissed if I didn't like gruel and living in tiny spaces.
I identify with one-third of those things.
That pfp is incredible
