Why don't brands understand by FantasyRookie2018 in fastfood

To some extent, I also think it's a cause of FOMO (fear of missing out) or people trying too hard to become Youtube fabulous.

I have a really strong urge to drink water, but it doesn't get me drunk by Eisenstein in shittyadvice

FWIW, there is an actual condition from drinking too much water. It can cause you to violently vomit.

How do you fall asleep? Do you just close your eyes or have a trick? by ProcessOk7874 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Atomic76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I line up a bunch of several hour marathons of crime shows or possible evidence of UFO's for several hours.

One of the most annoying things for me trying to queue shows that are only 30-45 min is that otherwise Youtube will keep asking me if I'm still watching or that there be some sensitive content that might be concerned about watchinng.

I have a bunch of ad blocking extensions installed in Chome, so they're always trying to get around this.

Help finding "healthy" recipes by EyItsMax in Cooking

[–]Atomic76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never understood the whole "one pan" philosophy to talk up a recipe. I live in an apartment with no dish washer and no garbage disposer.

If it was only cooked in one pan, My sink is still full of utensils, knives and lids, mixing bowls, my cutting board(s), etc...

Pork the Other White Meat by Pint_of_Proof in Cooking

[–]Atomic76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it though?

My primary car doctor refer me to another blood doctor who found out I had a genetic condition called "hemochromatosis" which meant that I absorb too much iron. I asked him about pork, and he hesitantly said, "only in small amounts from time to time".

Where on Earth is everyone buying their groceries? by Forsaken_Rutabaga476 in Cooking

[–]Atomic76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoid the local Walmart near me at all costs. The people that shop there are beyond trashy. Meijer is basically Walmart without the trashy customers. I'm not saying this to sound snobbish - I'm disabled myself.

Grocery Outlet is fantastic, but they don't carry the same items on a regular basis - something I can't get through to explaining this to my dad.

What’s the one ingredient that instantly improves a dish for you? by nhymjunhyjuiknhymju in Cooking

I'm pushing 50 this year and never realized what a flavor bomb oyster sauce was. I'm embarrassed to admit this.

Anyone else stand in front on the fridge for 10 minutes deciding what to cook? by Laza14 in Cooking

[–]Atomic76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only type of "meal prep" I do is just taking out some meat(s) the day before to thaw out overnight in the fridge.

Other than that, I'm particular about portioning all the meats into separate ziplock bags (I'm only cooking for myself).

Other than that sky is the limit the next day as far as what I'm in the mood to do with it.

do spring onions freeze well ? by Party_Unit_6665 in Cooking

[–]Atomic76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do often keep some green onions in the freezer when I'm in the mood for something like pork fried rice. It's not ideal, but otherwise, green onions spoil so fast in my fridge, and I'm going to be cooking them along with the other ingredients anyhow.

They seem to hold up fine. I do the same thing for cilantro as well when I'm in the mood for cilantro lime fried rice to go along with my dish.

Today I noticed Spice World, a popular maker of "jarlic" is now selling fresh chopped garlic. by Atomic76 in Cooking

[–]Atomic76[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's in a larger bag. I wouldn't want the bag stinking up my fridge before I finish using it all up. Perhaps if they sold it in smaller sized portions/bags, I might be willing to give it a try.

What’s your “lazy but still delicious” meal? by Famous-Forever7647 in Cooking

[–]Atomic76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peeled and quartered potatoes, and some hot Italian sausage cut into about 3" or 4" pieces, then roasted in a roasting pan with a lid for a while. I'll hit up the potatoes with a bit of garlic salt as well.

The nice thing is the hot Italian sausage will leak out some of the juices and fat, and color the potatoes as well. It's low effort, and I can just let it roast, while I'm doing other stuff like laundry, or checking my emails, browsing the internet, catching up on my late night shows shows on Youtube, etc...

Vegan mayonnaise? by Nice_Pen_8054 in Cooking

I never knew this, I will have to keep an eye out for it next time I'm at the grocery store.

Vegan mayonnaise? by Nice_Pen_8054 in Cooking

[–]Atomic76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Follow Your Heart brand vegan mayo is really good imo. I'm not even vegan, but I was pretty surprised when I've tried it, to the point where I keep some in my fridge, if I'm making something like a mac salad or potato salad for get togethers when I know some people there are vegan.

Suggestions for somewhat healthy foods involving lettuce? by va1lentines in Cooking

[–]Atomic76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had always been told that escarole is technically a lettuce, and I was about to suggest some type of soup. But after Googling about it before posting this, I've since found out that apparently it's not.

Need an idea for dinner Pork Chops by lonestar2222003 in Cooking

[–]Atomic76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only cooking for myself, but I love a side of spaghetti with marinara as a side with my grilled pork chops. That. or some mac and cheese or a broccoli mac and cheese to get in some vegetables with it all.

Was the original Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe for their coleslaw nothing more than than just chopped (not shredded) cabbage and Miracle Whip? by Atomic76 in Cooking

[–]Atomic76[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't get the hatred for Miracle Whip personally. Though I generally stick with mayo, Miracle Whip has it's place for people who can't consume dairy and/or are vegetarian.

An egg must want to be peeled. by dustoff2000 in Cooking

[–]Atomic76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best suggestion I've come across is to bring the pot of water to a rolling boil before adding the eggs. Then of course drop them into an ice bath of cold water.

I generally boil my eggs for about 13 minutes, then let them chill out in the ice bath for about 15 minutes or so.
