People should not have lawns of grass in areas where they have to water them to keep them green. Especially if there is a water shortage. Use Rocks, Use native plants, Get creative.
Grass is the most basic ass way to keep your lawn. If you are playing a sport on it, fine- but if not it’s boring af anyway.
“If you’re thirsty, they’re thirsty.”
Doesn’t this mean that if I’m not thirsty, they’re not thirsty? So I should drink enough water to make sure I’m not thirsty.
Opinionated older white man here, I think people should do whatever they want.
Ok, you are right. We are savages. We still leave out the beans though which I appreciate.
When you fly back to the US from abroad it takes a few days for everything to stop tasting like plastic? So you like food that tastes of plastic? I’m not sure what you are trying to say.
Euro food is the best, even the simple things, its just better.
I certainly wouldn’t want to limit myself to “Euro” food exclusively. It’s good, but so is Mexican, Argentinian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese etc. I love how diverse food culture is.
Toad in the hole
My mom made these all the time when I was growing up, but she called them “Egg in a basket” 🥚 🧺. Sounds a lot nicer than “Toad in the hole”. 🐸 🕳️
I had grown up calling it that it would probably seem normal to me though.
We have something similar in the US, but we leave out the beans because we are not savages.
I would add “Tex Mex” among the list of good American food, along with “Chinese Food”.
By Chinese food of course I mean the food Chinese Americans and immigrants serve in the U.S. From what I understand it’s not really authentic Chinese food, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t tasty. I think it counts.
My mom dated a Englishman when I was a kid and he made us “Yorkshire Pudding” that shit was excellent.
The best 'Fish and Chips" are made at this little seaside rstaurant in Oregon and made with Salmon. They must have ran out of chips because I got French Fries instead. Was still excellent though.
Ba dum tiss!
Now I’m starting to think that maybe Ray Cronise’s “potato diet” aka “Nutritarian diet” might not be so insane after all.
It certainly seemed to work for Penn Jillette and Kevin Smith. It’s extreme, but might work for certain people. I don’t know if I would have the discipline personally.
I’ve never done that myself, but after looking it up it doesn’t seem like it would be extremely difficult, but I’ve gotten used to making things from scratch though so ymmv.
I don’t want to hype it up too much, If I’m being honest the first slice of Pie I will get at thanksgiving is usually a cherry pie, and I’ll get Pumpkin if I left room for seconds. That being said it’s just not fall/ thanksgiving around here without at least one slice of the stuff. I like it but I imagine the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg probably has as much to do with it as the pumpkin itself.
One thing I do know about baking them is that, unlike the ones you buy to make into Jack-O-Lanterns, you want to get a relatively small one- they actually grow varieties of pumpkin specifically for cooking with here, but I doubt that you could get one down there if y’all aren’t used to eating them. I think you would be fine just getting the smallest ones you can find. (2 Kilos or less preferably).
I’ll make you a deal, if you do it I will do it too, and post pictures of the result :)
If you do, make sure to retain the seeds and toast them. (It’s tradition, and they’re known to be a good source of magnesium, fiber, zinc, iron and a whole host of other nutrients and antioxidants.) Note that is the basic bitch recipe and you can do a lot of fun things with them. I like tossing them with Cajun seasoning as an example.
Or by telling him to make a decision, she’s giving him more autonomy than if she just left. Like she’s saying, “Look, we need to commit to a decision, no more up and down, which way would you have it?”
I can see that, though it feels to me like from the context of the song they have already had that discussion at least once before.
I know that it hurts when you feel a certain way about someone and they don’t feel that way about you- it can hurt a lot and it can take time to come to terms with it- and I don’t’ think removing yourself from their lives is an unreasonable solution if you are having trouble dealing with it- so I definitely feel empathy for the singers pov as well.
This is probably a controversial opinion, but Ive always felt a little bad for the guy this song is about.
I think it’s unfair for her to say he doesn’t care a thing about her. He obviously does. If he didn’t he wouldn’t want her to still be a part of his life.
This song is just about two people who want different things out of their relationship, and the singer is just unable to accept it.
She has the ability to cut him out of her life if that’s what she really wants, same as he does. She should cut herself free if it’s too painful for her to be his friend.
Anyways, my main point was more about the original topic.
Yeah, kind of got hung up on the food aspect. Sorry about that. (I love food).
I’m not even sure how I would possibly rate them? What am I even trying to rate them on? People’s attraction to both left me wondering if people were just lying about it (and perhaps sexual attraction more broadly) because it was beyond me comprehension that would could actually care for either.
I think it’s just hard for people like us to imagine what that is like. Much like how the thought crossed your mind that maybe people are lying about sexual attraction- I think the reverse is also true. I think most people when they hear the word ‘asexual’ think the person just means that they have a very low sex drive- not that they are totally and completely unable to feel sexual attraction.
I have a hard time wrapping my head around it myself. I knew I was a boobs and ass man long before I ever reached puberty. Sexual desire is such a integral part of my life that it would be no less confusing if you said you never got hungry or never felt pain.
I think Jesus was a myth, but if we are running the thought experiment that Jesus was real and he was pious because he was asexual- that seems a bit like cheating to me. The reason that people have such a hard time following all of Christianities silly sexual rules is because most people do have sexual desires. It’s like being impressed that someone who never feels hunger hasn’t eaten in 30 days or someone who never feels pain walking over hot coals. Technically they did the thing- but it’s not the same.
I don’t think so?
You’ve never tried it or you just aren’t sure if you liked it?
But I assume the same for the pie itself.
You never know, some things don’t sound like they would be good but then you try them anyway and it turns out to be fantastic. There are very few things I will not at least try once before deciding its not for me. Hell sometimes I’ll try a food I’ve already tried once before and didn’t like it, and occasionally I am pleasantly surprised
And if the option is for a smaller piece with whipped cream, that might be less bad than a full sized piece without cream.
I believe that is what GreenKnight23 was getting at. Most people know whether or not they like whipped cream. If you did like it and were ‘forced’ to try a slice of pumpkin pie- well at minimum you will get something you do like along with something you don’t like. If you don’t like whipped cream, then you wouldn’t want it on your pumpkin pie slice because then you could possibly be eating two things you didn’t like.
Where are you from if you don’t mind me asking?
Pumpkin Pie is one of those things that you just have to experience to know if you like it. If you do try it I highly recommend it with Whipped Cream. Chances are if you like whipped cream than you will like the combo.
I have no clue how to even compare whipped cream vs no whipped cream.
Do you like whipped cream?
I wish it had more Macho Man.
RIP.
I watched a few more of his mash-ups, none of which quite live up to this one imo, but it seems like he puts the Macho Man somewhere in each one of his videos :)
You would think the fact that these policies led to 1% of the population controlling 99% of the wealth would prove its all bullshit, but people just can’t seem to get enough boot polish in their diets
