Responsible, sensible, reasonable, commonsensical, yes. Cool, not really…

In what country is barley not a common ingredient? Do they not really use it in the USA?

That’s about the going rate for desktop support here, in CAD. I know it’s more in the US, but they have to pay for more stuff.

I do like this idea as a daily or weekly challenge.

Might need to be constrained with a standardized list of pantry items.

An Italian kitchen in 1850 would!

If you have a pasta roller, it’s a snap! 400g flour, 4 eggs, little oil, little salt. Form into a dough, it takes a while to come together. It’s a difficult dough to work. A mixer can help. 8 minutes or so of kneading. Rest the dough an hour, roll out into sheets, and then either use the noodle attachment or cut it into noodles by hand. It honestly only takes like 15 minutes of actual hands on effort and 90 minutes of total time.

Buttermilk barley porridge is very good. I like it with anise and apple chunks.

Kinda with the commenter. A well stocked pantry just means you can make pretty much anything. If you specified the pantry contents, perhaps it would be more of a challenge.

I could make a sponge cake, or sushi, or curry, or ice cream, with these ingredients and my pantry. :)

Stir-fry, probably. Onions, mushrooms, the pepper, some spices, some sesame oil. Fry it up. Toss in the barley and some soup stock. Simmer a bit to hydrate. Then see how it tastes and adjust. Maybe finish with a few eggs and scramble.

Fried rice is continuously fried at high temperature. You scramble the eggs. This is liquid eggs tempered into rice after it’s heated, and it stays liquid.

As far as I am aware, nothing has ever released this much sustained co2 over such a short period. Even outliers like the Deccan traps did it far more slowly.

Somewhat famously, beavers are rampant in … southern Argentina I think, and they are incredibly invasive in a biome that is not able to take advantage of them.

Raw eggs into piping hot rice. Temper them in so they don’t scramble by whipping them with a fork in a centre well and then adding rice slowly at first. Top with soy sauce.

Works great with beans and rice, mashed potatoes, anything. Freshens up old stale leftovers.

Yeah, I don’t think many catholics realize how close they are to the top of the list after Muslims, gays, and trans people. Atheists might be ahead of Catholics but honestly it might be a wash. Protestants seriously hate them, I got fed a steady drip of anti-Catholic sentiment as a baby Calvinist here in BC.

Another great way to preserve the life of your clutch is to walk to the store. ^_

Cheaper is a kind of better.

So many people telling Trump to put covers on his TPS reports.

What are fake pickles in this context? Lacto vs vinegar ferment?

“All platforms” uh huh sure yep
