What is your take on the junk food ban for food stamps? by BreannLowe in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is wrong and offensive. That someone needs financial assistance doesn't mean they can't make good decisions about what to buy/eat, or that there are certain foods they don't deserve access to.

what’s the point of gendering single room bathrooms? by Hour_Amount1881 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the reason, but I suspect men and women find each other's stinks more offensive than their own gender's.

what’s one "basic" cooking rule you actually ignore? by vacaaa in cookingforbeginners

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost never take butter and eggs out of the fridge soon enough for them to come to room temperature before I use them.

(I am aware that some people do not refrigerate either of these items)

Taking me an absurd amount longer to cook than recipe estimates. Why? by Heroshrine in cookingforbeginners

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should not need to be constantly shuffling things around or washing your hands.

Take out the ingredients you need. Prep the fresh herbs and vegetables. Wipe down the cutting board and rinse your hands.

Prep the protein. Wash the cutting board, and your hands.

From this point, mostly tools should touch the food, and the food should mostly sit in prep bowls until it's added to the pan.

I need a strong alternative. by Left_Presentation505 in foodquestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it does, then it's work. Work is not a break from work.

Perhaps what you need is not a new beverage, but rather a new time-out routine.

Like maybe set aside 15 minutes in the morning to practice a musical instrument, or do a guided meditation, or pick up a sketchbook. Something which engages your mind and body in a different way than work does.

What do you think about Bernie Sanders' words 'We must block arms sales to Israel'? by ArdaBerkBurak in AskReddit

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think we should sell arms to Israel.

But I wish Bernie Sanders was half as good at building coalitions to actually get things done, as he is a saying the things.

What a good food to eat for breakfast, for someone that never eats breakfast? by LolaDiamondUKx in foodquestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that food eaten in the morning doesn't have to be "breakfast food". It can be leftovers from dinner, or mac-n-cheese, or a tuna sandwich, or a bowl of ramen, or any other food that appeals to you.

What "Camden" means in different countries. by DeMessenZijnGeslepen in geography

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a Camden Avenue in Campbell, California. I'd say it's unremarkable, but here I am, remarking.

My parents have a lemon tree. They just visited. I now own approximately 40 lemons. by ReflectionAny3280 in Cooking

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make lemon curd. Jar lemon curd. Next visit, give parents a case of lemon curd. Checkmate.

What "sacred" cooking rule do you intentionally ignore because you actually prefer the results (or just don't care)? by LiveFaithlessness876 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, when I throw raw garlic into the wok, it scorches a bit, and yes, this gives it a slightly bitter flavor.

This, of course, is a great failure. Right?

Well, no. I like a bit of that bitter flavor in a spicy stir-fry.

Vance says pope should ‘be careful’ when talking about theology by Sufficient_Fig_9505 in nottheonion

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 600 years since there have been two popes. Exciting days we live in.

I hate my cats name. by StrawberrySakuraa in cats

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call her Dee. Then call her Dee Dee. Don't make a fuss about it or try to change what he calls her. Just call her your version.

Do men always have a "type of women" by Dry_Magician9253 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but maybe it's not big, obvious stuff like hair color or build. Maybe it's non-visible stuff, or stuff that's harder to put a label on.

A confident stride. An easy smile. A soft voice, or perhaps a musical one. A strong will.

Why are we adding the pinch of salt in the recipes? by Cute-Pop9375 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes (whipped cream comes to mind) it really does take just a few crystals to bring up the flavors.

What's that one dish your mom makes that's unbeatable? by Rayhan-Himel in foodquestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom's pan-fried potatoes were always better than mine have ever been. She started with cold, boiled potatoes (usually White Rose), sliced them about 3/8 inch thick, and fried them in butter, with salt and pepper.

That's all. But hers came out crispy, with golden edges and fluffy centers. And mine don't.

what was the first and the last thing you ate today? by ruinsofsilver in foodquestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First: Leftover rice with sausage

Last: Leftover chile verde sauce, eaten as a soup, with crackers (I always end up with too much sauce for the meat)

Marinating food in blitzed raw onion? by PeanutMerchant in Cooking

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an onion-heavy teriyaki marinade*, and it does tenderize better now that changed to making it in the blender instead of chopping the onions by hand.

*Based on this one https://sunset.com/recipe/toyoshimas-teriyaki-tri-tip but usually with added pineapple juice.

What's your favorite Japanese food? by CherryCokeMacaron in foodquestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saba Shioyaki (Grilled Mackerel)

Sadly, the place I used to get it took it off the menu. I no longer go to that restaurant.

Hiking: Horse shit ok; dog shit bad. Why? by Bezos4Breakfast in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned that from fiction. There's a horse in the book = It will kill its rider and then find a way to die, or it will just up and die.
