#the sweet potato experiment??

Sweet potato update!

After washing, poking holes in the skins to vent steam and baking at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for an hour directly on the oven rack, I cut them open and rubbed some cinnamon, dill, chili flakes and black pepper on half. The others I used some South African barbecue rub I had. Then after topping them with the soy chorizo I sprinkled on some shredded aged cheddar and broiled them on high until the cheese was bubbly. The dill flavor disappeared, and the ones with the rub were too strong - personally I preferred the ones with the cinnamon. The other person I gave some to didn’t like them.

Lesson learned! Bake and eat at your own risk. But thanks for the suggestions! If I make them again I’ll use a sweeter spice mix to rub on the sweet potatoes. Maybe some brown sugar… and something not as heavily spiced as the soy chorizo… perhaps a canned chili.

Or I could boil them, maybe, and roast them with chili like a casserole. Though I don’t think the Dunmer would do that lol

I guess this deserves the old adage: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Cinnamon on sweet potatoes is an ancient delicacy :P

This gives me an idea, though. I wonder how much of Morrowind’s exports are food-based? Elsweyr and Blackmarsh are the obvious provinces for spice production, but Morrowind’s unique environment could definitely produce some interesting (and maybe expensive?) flavors. Is Telvanni bug musk edible??

Wait wait what did your boss do with the sweet potato??? I'm trying to imagine how you'd eat a raw sweet potato, they are so solid. You could shave bits off I guess??? Did they microwave it?

he slowly sawed it in half with a plastic butter knife, put one half back in the lunchbox (presumably for tomorrow) and then microwaved the other half

#original #this isn't even getting into the reused mcdonald's promotional cup for the movie maid in manhattan #it wasn't a special cup or anything it was just a giant mcdonald's cup with the maid in manhattan poster on it #that movie came out in 2002 #he has an enormous stack of giant mcdonald's cups in his office that he fills with a mix of fanta and some kind of cheap fruit punch #the butter knife may also have been from mcdonald's. i don't know and i don't want to know. #zero waste icon i guess but also that sounds like a great way to be full of microplastics #i need you to imagine the experience of eating your onigiri bento and your boss walks in #sets down his maid in manhattan mcdonald's cup full of fanta juice cocktail #reaches into his lunchbox with the name of a pharmaceutical company on it bc his wife got it as free swag #and pulls out a single whole raw sweet potato #i just had to sit there frantically googling when maid in manhattan came out trying not to make eye contact as he sawed through his potato #it took like ten minutes #i take my lunch at a different time now so we don't overlap

Hi! As a long time dairy allergy haver, don't be afraid to try rice or oat milks, I found them a little more tolerable (internally) than soy milk. Just my two cents! Good luck lacking that toast!

Thank you, I will! I judged them by nutrition levels specifically (I've been having some trouble getting enough energy into my regular diet) and soy had a pretty clear leg up over the rest there, but these side-effects are just not fucking tenable, lord.

#if all else fails I'll try the lactose-free milk and see how that goes it can't be worse than this #why do all these things have to be so goddamn expensive though ma'am i'm poor #as for the energy stuff idk #no matter what or how i eat i just can't manage to recover properly after exercising #i just end up with an energy deficit the next day that i can't recoup so to speak #gonna try experimenting with sweet potatoes or something next

Season with your heart

[

Tip 2: to make mashed potatoes easy style get enough small potatoes, fill pot till like. A third the way up with potatoes, cover with water (make sure it barely covered the potatoes), then lightly season with salt. Boil for about 20-40 minutes so they're tender as hell. Pulverize those fucks in a bowl (strained). Add seasoning to your liking (added salt, pepper, onion powder because I wasn't assed to reach for garlic powder, agave syrup / maple, cheese, sour cream. Loosen with water and add half and half (or better cream but. Didn't have it) to liking. Microwave that fucker then rapidly mix so the cheese strings)

#the only reason i add a swetener is to balance it and because its to my taste. however do what you want #i do NOT have measurements you eyeball that shit and learn from experience #my tip is dor the love of god get a potatoe masher. however fork will work well #i had like. maybe 10 min or so boiled till soft potats and god was it an arm exercise #thats why i suggest the long ass cook time #but really its boil till tender enough to split without effort #this probably can be applies to sweet potats but. have not tried it #some fresh minced garlic would be a good replacement for some dried seasonings. id also add paprika (could not find it and couldnt be assed #if you have meat that youre making on the side make sure to get some of the meat juices (after cooking) and spoon in like 3-7 (to taste) #it adds another depth of flavor that cant be mimicked with seasonings. balance with sweetness to liking #resippy #shiko speaks #for meat fucking reverse sear that bitch. however broiling works well too #i could give recipe on custard however i do not wish egg tempering on anyone #do not bully my ass for typos i dont look at my phone my ass is typong too fast

sometimes I think about my years as a scout. and then wonder how im still alive/sane

#WHEN DID I WRITE THIS??? HELLO?? #i have no memory of doing this but my drafts were empty last week???? #we did a competition camp and we burned everything. set baked beans on fire set a tub of butter on fire #i ate a basically raw sweet potato because we were tired of waiting for it to cook more #someone in my troopgot paid 20p to drink a concotion of out of date juice dirt water and stick pieces (he did it) #i sat and read a warrior cats book in the shared tent while my friends pretended to have gay sex next to me #(i say pretend because they were still fully clothed #that was just one camp #and then at the scout hut we had a box of expired foods that wed occasionally go thru #and my sister got tricked into eating a green marshmallow and got food poisoning #(i didnt eat it bc i was suspicious of why they were giving out free food) #i had a knife thrown at me multiple times. most notable being when someone (weird drink guy) thought i was tryna steal his chair #we werent allowed pocketknives at camp after that #one of the leaders hated me. told me i looked miserable all the time and didnt like that i was vegetarian #but its fine bc he was a dick. made us clean his car okce because it was a “learning experience” #my parents paid for me to go to scouts #i talk to none of the people from there anymore #oh and the majority of the boys had a weird obsession with my sister. and would ask me how to talk to her #i think it really shaped me as a person tbh

Promising results from today's bread experiment! Since you can replace oil in most baking recipes 1:1 with a thick fruit/vegetable puree, I've been experimenting with different kinds and amounts of puree. For this loaf, I cooked some really sour blueberries (i didn't want to eat them they were so sour) down into blueberry butter and pureed them. I added a little sugar to offset the sourness, and a tiny pinch of baking soda to neutralize the acid a tiny bit (not enough to taste like baking soda of course 😝), and used an equal amount of the blueberry butter to replace the called for vegetable oil. The smell of the bread is vaguely fruity/floral? but the texture and flavor are delicious, with a faint blueberry flavor. I was worried that the acid might affect the rise of the dough, but it seemed to work fine (makes sense if bread can be baked with orange juice, blueberries are hardly more acidic than that). I'm excited to try using apple butter in this recipe in the fall, and i'm still brainstorming what else i can use 👀

#sweet potato puree was my first choice and it works a treat as well #bread #baking #kitchen experiment #my post #the loaf right before this one proved that while you can substitute oil or the egg for puree #substituting both in the same loaf is a bit too far #it was still good but the texture was a little odd on that one #i just really wanted to talk about the process and since my mom is doing gluten free right now #i thought it would be a bit rude to talk to her about it : P

18

I’m assuming this is for the ask game I forgot I reblogged, otherwise I’m confused.

18.) your boba/tea order? I’ve gotten boba once and it was taro and I hated it (I was pressured into getting it even though I wanted a diff flavor because “we should all get a different flavor” and someone had already picked the flavor I wanted and I’m still miffed about it tbh) idk, I’d try boba again but idk what flavor I’d get. and like generally for tea?? the only time people order tea around here is when getting sweet or unsweetened iced tea and you will not catch me drinking unsweetened iced tea unless it’s a mistake

the ask game I forgot I reblogged

#whimsy whispers #asks #anon #thanks for the ask! #I wanna like boba and have a nice boba experience #taro is just not for me #I should’ve known because you know what else I hate? sweet potato
