Ask me food safety and food science questions.

What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

The goal this year (2026) is to lurk less and post and comment more.

  • Anyone else on here a "Reddit refugee"?

    Jump

  • I left with the disabling of API.

    Today, I went back in to my account to delete every single comment I have ever made, one by one, then deleted the entire account. Should have done it ages ago, but better now than never.

    I was reading about bans and stuff and all sorts that I didn't care to understand, so instead of using a third party apps to change/delete/etc my comments, I did it manually. It felt pretty satisfying.

    My last "fuck you, r/jailbait Spez". I'm not letting them use my comments or account for anything. Hopefully, I've done it right.

  • Sure do, thank you! You stay warm over there!

  • Thank you! Yes, Australia. I didn't go out to get a fresh loaf of bread to make a sandwich. It's supposed to cool significantly tomorrow, so I'll go out then.

  • What are some unique things that sucks about getting old?

    Jump

  • Pulling a muscle because I sneezed too hard.

    Worrying about if I'll have enough to retire on, if I can retire at all. Worrying about health, the drop in spice tolerance, waking up stiff. Eyesight starting to deteriorate. Wanting to be more social, but would often rather just stay home. Maybe not so unique, but worth a mention.

  • Cookbook Recommendations

    Jump

  • I am a RecipeTinEats advocate. The recipes that I have tried have never turned out wrong - even my kitchen-anxious partner can follow her recipes just fine. Her books go for $20 at Target/KMart/Big W.

    I also have a book called Africola, after a restaurant in Adelaide, South Australia.

    I also like The Mediterranean Dish. I don't think it's AI, but I could be wrong. I hope not.

  • When/how frequently do you replace your phone with a new one?

    Jump

  • I keep mine until they die or become so slow that it just isn't very usable anymore.

    I used to have a One Plus 3 for 4 years until it fell out of my pocket and a cow (or cows) stomped on it. It came back to me after another farmhand found it in the mud 3 months later. Still works, but completely bent, and screen is cracked and crazy discoloured. I keep it now as a paperweight, or to hotspot. I also keep my Canadian sim card in it so I know exactly where it is when I go back.

    Then I had a OP6 for another 3 years, and it black screened.

    I now have a Samsung S23, and will keep it until it dies.

    BTW, I think there are charging port cleaners out there, if nobody has mentioned it already.

  • Honestly would prefer that right now.. Two more months of winter, you can do it! 👊

    I feel like if you aren't a doctor, engineer, or lawyer in college, you're nothing.

    Jump

  • I agree. I was taken to emergency 6 years ago for stomach cramps so bad I nearly blacked out a couple of times trying to get from kitchen to toilet and back. The doctor deduced that I was allergic to eggs and I just stared at him, dumbfounded. Both my profession and my previous life as a first responder knew he was dead wrong. The two nurses behind him let nothing show on their faces, and that told me everything.

    The nurse (neither of the first two) that discharged me was just as bad.

    You can 100% go to school for 4-8 years or whatever, and still be incompetent. I just hope that if they're both still practising, they haven't contributed to someone's death.

    Do what you want, OP. We're not going to live forever, and life speeds up as you age, like a roll of toilet paper. Do what you enjoy.

  • What's the most recent lie you told?

    Jump

  • "Living the dream."

  • How would you use ground chicken in this week's meal preps?

    Jump

  • Taiwanese pork rice bowls, except chicken! Massive flavour, can be spread over many meals easily when mixed with other things (rice, assorted raw veg like sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, shredded carrots, etc.).

  • What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?

    Jump

  • I used to work on a local mountain in Vancouver and I once had someone ask about taking a day trip to Niagara Falls. What.

  • "Refrigerate after opening and store in the refrigerator door." Why the door for this mayo?

    Pour le Français, appuyez sur 2.

  • If you feel bad, eat a SHIT TON of fruits and veggies

    Jump

  • It's the little broccoli florets ends coming out mushy or soft which gets me, so I decided to just avoid frozen broccoli all together. I don't like mushy veg :( unless it's bok choi. I don't know what it is, but maybe because I don't like bok choi so I just want the smallest amount of chewing effort to get it in to me 😂

    I love the way that Made With Lau does the broccoli, so I usually do it that way.

    Jump

  • I actually love the way that Made With Lau does it.. Otherwise, it's steamed or sauteed and topped with a bit of seasoned salt or oyster sauce.

  • Staying Home

  • I'm not 40 yet and I was in bed by 8PM. 😬

    Jump

  • To be fair, I've only really used the frozen veg in stir fries or in soups, and haven't really researched ways to make it like it's cooked from fresh. What do you do to make your broccoli crunchy? Without eating it frozen like the other person said. 😂
