#oh rice too

If it wasn't for cheese quesadillas, pouched baby food, and raw fish, I would starve to death

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.

if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.

but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?

what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.

and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.

you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.

so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.

it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.

sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.

oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.

#warm up #this isn't good #writeblr #this is complicated by the fact i can't stand up too long or i fuckken pass out and <3 hit my damn head <3 #but i did take a deep breath and buy myself the stupid rice cooker #and!!! a very cheap sushi kit!!! i have been wanting to try making sushi for literally YEARS #the kit was only like 15 dollars!!!! and i haven't purchased it bc?!!??!?!?!?!!? #..... i didn't get the mixer tho that felt. like a lot. like too much. #on my list is a kitchenaid. one day when i get a check and i have paid off my student debt #and medical debt #i will put that first little bit of cash #into a kitchenaid 5qt stand mixer (with attachments) #i really do just go into their refurbished section and stare lustily at each option #but yeah i feel guilty about the rice cooker even tho i know for a fact this damn thing is gonna be a lifesaver #oh shit also fuck i forgot to mention . poached eggs

I love food. Big fan of food. am I consistently and constantly hungry. Food is the best thing. Wow. Can’t believe I live on a planet where I can eat and taste. I can bring food for my friends. I can slice it in half. I can make an ugly bacon egg sandwich just for me. I can reheat food. I can melt cheese on chips. I can give my friends the black licorice jelly beans. I can give my cat a tiny piece of chicken from my bowl. I can cook food. I can season grilled foods spicy in separate batches for my friends with a low spice tolerance. Wow. You can eat . you should eat. I love a burger.

#don’t get me started on rice #ohhh rice. so versatile. you can put anything on it #rice and beans? #locomoco? #dried seaweed? #poached egg? #Lap cheong? #shrimp tempura? #chicken karaage? #sweet and sour pork? #mayo shrimp? #fried egg and ketchup? #charshu? #beef and broccoli? #oh my goodness #salmon teriyaki? #FURIKAKE? #KATSU?!?!? #my mom used to deep fry rice and dip it in melted chocolate for me and my siblings #not sure if that’s a real thing. but it was very good. when I think about home for too long #I can taste it #chili cheese on rice also. that’s one. ohhh

hi, is this guy telling me to put the marinade that had the raw meat in it directly on top of the finished dish. and then eat it

#re-reading this recipe three times looking for where it says to reserve some marinade before putting raw meat in it #or to cook some marinade to turn it into a sauce that doesn't still have raw meat germs in it #hm. hm. #this recipe also calls for rice wine and sake separately #not that there aren't other rice wines but my brother in christ can you be more specific #I'm gonna try it with mirin which will probably be good and also is what 1) I already have 2) I can get at the grocery store other than sak #ALSO furikake is like... a whole category of seasoning. it comes in a ton of different varieties lmao #me: oh 'Gourmet's furikake' ? is that a specific mix he tells you how to make somewhere in the book? [it is not] #this book is very beautiful to look at but a lot of the recipes are somehow both weirdly pretentious and surprisingly unhelpful #'here's the recipe that in-game is made by setting apples on fire :) first take your vanilla sugar--' bro you are doing too much.

I like to remind the Interview With the Vampire fandom that Anne Rice wrote an entire trilogy of "erotic" ch!ld p0rn because it's so blaringly obvious that not a single one of you gives a shit that she's openly p3dophilic

#anne rice #interview with the vampire #iwtv #the vampire chronicles #mayfair witches #whateverthefuckelse that nasty creature wrote #it's clearly eroticized in plenty other books too & I read a lot of them in my teens before I understood how fucked up it was #yall gotta have BETTER STANDARDS oh my god

[july-19th-club]

hmmmmm what soup should i eat for dinner the canned chicken noodle or the canned chicken and rice. or the packet of rice noodles with lemongrass/chili flavor . or the packet of rice noodles with garlic/spring onion flavor .

#wheeeeeeee soo exciting #i normally love soup but when there's not a lot of variety #but i need the Steam #and its too late/i dont feel like making basmati rice which is my other sicktime go-to #because it's just so warm and comforting even without any toppings #oh shit hey. if i put shahi paneer on it it'd probably be actually pretty good for my nose . clear the mucus right the fuck out #but not doing that tonight . too tired

[keeps-ache]

top 5 reasons i believe i might be banned from someone's kitchen in the future:

i will water down the cheese

forgot i left rice on the heat once and it took me 7 minutes too long to remember it was still there

unsure of which spoon is for what (when is silicone okay ??)

almost died to garlic today

will get so into the groove that the food in front of me that i am staring at and stirring will burn and i will be none the wiser

impatient

#just me hi #i haven't burned anything yet but i Have forgotten that things were hot before #there was one time we'd heated up butter in this cup and i was like 'oh lemme just move this real quick!!' and then i grabbed it with my #Whole Handdd #/and i have toasted my rice a little too much with number 5. i start vibing or zone out and Oh No It's Crispy #//also i am just generally forgetful and too full of glitter in my brain to not just wander off lol #//okay so silicone seems to be okay ? i don't think i trust it tho >'> #/aside from all that though it's fine :> #i wish i could learn to cook more but i know i don't have the patience for it fhvhfs #gotta happen on the right day

[irl-morros-account]

do you have a favourite food

i bet its mango morro ice cream right

NOO THATS NOT TRUEE. You know they named it that without my permission?? And just. Sell it to everybody. Idk how I feel about that.

My favourite food was definitely sushi, I just really liked it, and also its so versatile that it's not possible to have a type of sushi you can't like, I think.

I don't know now. I haven't had sushi since I died, it might've changed over the years. Maybe I should get some soon.

#i live off of snack bars and at zanes mercy #OH BUT YK WHAT happened today?? lloyd tried making this chicken and rice dish. seemed pretty simple #but as i ate i started to feel more and more sick. and nya said she did too outright #AND THEN THE GREEN MOTHERFUCKER REVEALED THAT HE PUT. SIX TABLESPOONS OF SOY SAUCE INTO THE SAUCE HE MADE FOR THE CHICKEN. #FOR CONTEXT THERE WAS ENOUGH CHICKEN PIECES TO FILL ROUGHLY A FRYING PAN #SIX. TABLESPOONS #he only told us this AFTER #and now i will never trust lloyd again #morro irl account #irl morro #ninjago #answering asks #paprikko-lol #also hello. youre back. you always come back dont you?

so like sometimes it's only been a couple hours after you've eaten and you're wondering if you're wondering if you're hungry - but maybe you're just, like, hungry in your head, right? Not actually hungry? So you don't need to eat because that would be overeating, like at a buffet where you stop eating when your stomach feels like it's going to burst? wrong your stomach has an early warning system

no yeah fast forward to two hours later when you're kinda lowkey starving and you go, oh. huh. bodies don't lie.

listen to your organs y'all 😅

#also i think it's cool that sometimes when you're hungry or half-hungry you can kinda wade in the fog of it and find out what you're craving #like oh im really craving....rice #just rice #so I go #oh!! carbs!! you're low on energy and probably really tired and stressed atm!! here you go body!! have some good fast-energy glucose!! #and other times you just really want something cold and crunchy and kinda sweet and sharp and tasty and I go #you haven't been having your fruits son go pack an apple and some celery and some peanut butter with those nice fats to help with digestion #I have such a weird relationship with food and eating lol #we are Improving #listen to your body!! It's telling you what it needs! It's never overeating if you're giving your body what it Actually wants and needs #I wanted smth crunchy and salty did I want chips or grilled chicken #and yes 'junk' foods are useful too. I just have to remember to consider when it's an indulgence craving necessity or a crutch #I'm not a dietician but it still holds that no foods are bad!! just work with your body #it's hard sometimes but it's always there for you and getting you through the day so you gotta be there for it too! #take care of those daily functions!! #message to everyone and more to myself lol #food #eating #eating habits #self care #healthy eating

#the backgrounds killed my ability to make looped gifs :( #this is close enough #but i wanted to get him running with his rice! the run cycle was there but the grass and background made it too jarring #oh well #lupin iii #looped gif #gifs #lupin zero

[rockingthegraveyard]

Love the weight of rice bags but they do not stay cold long enough for me.

#i mean its a good thing #if you tend to leave ice packs on too long #and fall asleep with them like i did the other night #((oh but i slept like a baby for #like #six hours and my pain numbed so good #and no burns #it worked in my favor that time)) #but if you want longer then 15 mins of Cold then youre better off with ice packs with ice or gel #clay is the ultimate weighty ice packs #but they have the same problem #just a little longer then rice #but idk where all my clay ones are #i blame my brother #ugh my wrist hurts #but i dont want to get up for another ice pack bc im comfy cozy #🥺🥺🥺 #ignore me

[gefiltefished]

😔

y'know when you make something and you kinda just know no-one's really vibing with it? Anyway I volunteered to make dinner and it was certainly edible, but.....

#i thought it tasted nice but apparently everyone else likes their rice noodles bordering on mochi in this house so #had to go back and soften a couple portions up and dad was annoyed that they were too long #bleh #oh and i keep using this rice vinegar to make quick cucumber pickles but it's like fuckin paint thinner its so strong #so i choked on that #(finished them tho they were delicious despite the pain)

[sincerelymarner]

being home means that i make food in bulk to freeze to bring back to uni

#so far i’ve made meatballs. pickled onions. lemon cheong. raspberry lemon cheong. i’m in the process of making pork carnitas to turn into #taquitos. and later tonight i will also be making rice krispy squares #oh i also made some lasagnas too #i do this all at home bc the kitchen is nicer and i can usually get my parents to pay for my groceries #mere.chatting
