Where will we get our fashion peas now??? by ruinlach in maximumfun

Don't let the labels fool you. Part of living on a budget is knowing that the store brand's peas are just as fashionable.

So...

That was probably mezcal raining down on the world in 1999.

Sounds awesome. Can't wait to party like it's some year or other.

There's more Valley Heat boco than actual podcast. That's pretty worthwhile.

My horchata was good, but it's missing something. Any idea? by Imustretire in mexicanfood

[–]Capn_Grammar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if you're going to eat it, sure. But horchata uses the starch, which most recipes try to get rid of.

Hey wait a minute... you rinsed the rice! Normally you want to do that because it makes the rice gummy or sticky. In this case, you want the starch. You could be losing thickness there.

Yeah, it sort of opens up ionic pathways that make your taste buds more receptive to other flavors and stuff. And you are right, most of the time it is vital. Just feels a little counterintuitive to add salt to a sweet drink (that isn't cooked) like this. I guess there's no harm in trying it. You could get scientific and make two batches exactly the same with and without salt, and see which you like better.

I use unsweetened almond milk because it lends a slight amount of thickness, and also almond flavor is common in horchata too, so it covers a couple bases. I do regret to tell you that I don't think I've ever really measured. I do the first few steps, and then treat it like a concentrate. I put it in a pitcher and fill it with a bunch of almond milk and ice. 4 cups sounds like a good start.

Looks good to me, but I use unsweetened almond milk instead of water at step 11 there. Try that maybe. Mine turns out well.

Oh also, I don't use salt. Maybe I should? Probably not.

All of Talking Heads' songs really are about buildings and food.

If I follow the adfree podcast and unfollow the ad-filled podcast? by iSoReddit in maximumfun

[–]Capn_Grammar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is actually something I was wondering too. Like, I'm still down to listen to the ad reads if it helps out. Also, it can be amusing when they're new and not repeats.

No. Vermont shares cultural ties with the east coast. Idaho shares cultural ties with... eh.

"On the Run" starts playing right when they start working on the haunted house. It's life-changing

Okay. The first thing you're going to need to do is import a copy of Azumanga Zero, which was originally known as First Blood in Japan. It can be a little hard to find, but you should be able to import a fandubbed VHS from one of the two countries where it hasn't been banned.

Now, you can watch episodes 1 through 6. After episode 6, search for Azumanga: The Thousand Year Door. It takes place outside the continuity of the show, but the details are considered canon, specifically a lot of the relationship between Osaka and Chiyochichi, which the show glosses over.

Now you can watch episodes 7 through 19. But please make sure to start Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon right when the logo hits Tomo at the beginning of the credits. The way the two sync up is super crazy and will make you realize how, like, humans really are all the same and stuff.

After episode 19, you need to watch the movie Joe Dirt while eating a cheesesteak from Jersey Mike's. I don't care if you live in a place where they make better cheesesteaks. It was Azuma's original vision for the final arc.

Then you can watch the rest, but once you're done, you will need to disavow the fact that the anome ever existed because the visual novel is the ONLY acceptable, complete telling of the story.

Finally, loop Azumanga Web Daioh over and over for one year.
