The spatulae were melted before I ever began to cook, and the pans were just cheap.

The last Windows XP installation I ever had crashed, froze, bluescreen'd, and succumbed to viruses more than all versions of Windows in the entire time since. Good riddance.

I do pierce the yolk, but it hardens from the outside in and forms pockets of steam anyway.

We got a summer sausage type thing. I cut off the first piece and ate it right away. When I went back for seconds, I realized it was wrapped in paper inside the plastic. I had eaten the paper.

After fearing for my life a handful of times, I've decided that I'd rather cover the cup/bowl/receptacle with a damp paper towel. It won't help with the eggs exploding, but it won't make so much noise when they finally do.

Update on poached eggs. The first microwave I tried it with is 700 watts. My wife's microwave is 1000 watts. Two more eggs were exploded before I got the timing down.
I'm starting to just hate eggs.

I had a dream that new episodes of Code Lyoko started coming out a few days ago. Then, shortly before Halloween, the official English YouTube channel started uploading episodes of Code Lyoko: Evolution, the cancelled live-action spinoff.
It's fitting that they picked so close to Halloween to begin haunting me with the ghost of cult classic French cartoons.

Scrubs went from "the only classic sitcom I can stomach" to "really really REALLY god damn annoying" somewhere between the first episode and the middle of season 3. The characters are mean to eachother, but not in a funny way like Superstore or Rick and Morty; they just sound like extras from Family Guy, i.e. obnoxious pricks who think they're funnier than they really are.

My wife insists on putting sherry or white wine vinegar any time we make pasta or vegetables, but I'm not really clear on what it's doing for the flavor.

I tried doing a poached egg in the microwave because I'm tired of messing with crappy pans and melted spatulas. It turned out great, except for it exploding with the force of a hand grenade in the microwave. My only sin was doing it for exactly ten seconds longer than the recipe said.

« on: November 01, 2019, 12:22:58 pm »I'm just stuck trying to figure out why vegans, of all people, are being considered as possible consumers of something explicitly made from / of animals.
Well, a colony of crickets or roaches has far smaller ecological impact than traditional meat, so there's at least one argument against meat/dairy appeased.
Also, I imagine some people are vegetarian/vegan for health concerns, not just ethical.

How is the cricket powder processed? Is it just ground up crickets, or is it bleached or broken down in any way? Have they tried any other bugs, or is this their first pass at such a product?
There has to be plant substitutes for oils and fats, if they really want that badly to keep it free of animal products. At least, the presence of almond- and cashew-based milks and yogurts seems to suggest so.

Any idea what it tastes like besides "bad?"
