So I get this is just a funny thought, but my inner pedant is itching to say this....Sphincter is not your anus, it is a type of muscle. We have several. So, like, no, because the mouth doesn't behave the way sphincters do. ok thanks for that, carry on with the assmouth jokes lol

Check out Hard Times OP, best jerky around! Super thin, not pressed but sliced, very dry. Just so damn good!

It's not salt that hardens pulses (beans, lentils etc.), it's acid. Salt your beans from the start, they'll taste better. Also, most beans dont need to be soaked first, just cook them longer or start them hard for 20 mins then turn down the heat. Chickpeas, however, need to be soaked, unless you cook them with baking soda. But then you lose out on the aquafaba, so I say soak em.

People concerned with how alpha they are are so silly. So hilariously unaware that they are broadcasting just how deeply insecure they are.

I want to echo what Velma said...I recently received an incredibly painful text from my older brother, but your example of how animals love other animals, really grounds me. Im tearing up, but in relief, in awe, and in utter joy. This little anecdote is a great gift. Thanks for sharing!

This sack of shit is a caricature, it's vomit inducing just to look at him

You're seeing it happen right now.

I batch cook grains to keep in the freezer. I pick one at the beginning of the week to defrost and use it as a base or side to all my lunches for the week. Scrambles/frittatas, bowls, soups, salads, fritters/cakes etc. Dinners I change up. We do have some favs that show up on nights that we're feeling lazy but cooking is one of my main hobbies so i'm always trying new dishes. Im a cookbook whore so im routinely on my couch flipping through my books to find my next endeavor. Im very fortunate to work from home 4 days a week, which makes all of this possible. Even if I choose to make an ordeal of a recipe I can slowly work my way through it during the day.

Cryptic Writings by Megadeth. It's overlooked and dismissed by most fans, but the song writing is top tier. It's got plenty of thrash moments woven through a songwriting and melody driven lens. Similar vein to Youthanasia but with an even wider breadth of styles and sounds. I forgot how much I love it. Ive been really digging listening to albums front to back lately, and this one really benefits from being listened to in its entirety. I highly recommend a revisit if you're so inclined!

It's crazy that straight people are at war with their potential partners even before they've met them. So silly.

Yeah it must be super duper tough to be as dumb as a sack of shit who needs endless validation to feel "cool" like a 14 year old. Anyways, im making a delicious bean soup with masa dumplings for dinner tonight. Supposedly its a classic Mexican country dish, the kind that most restaurants dont serve. Can't wait!! If anyone is interested, its a Pati Jinich recipe. If you are not familiar with her, i urge you to change that because she is an absolute delight!!

His first book completely changed my world, can't wait to read this one!!
