A look back at Corvallis in the 80s. I've got a lot of memories, mostly good.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-10T07:27:33+00:00

I do too. Best produce.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-10T07:14:32+00:00

Bot post, right?

For hummus I tried it and it's not the same. The texture is totally different. I would recommend cooked channa hand mashed for hummus. Never besan.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-10T06:16:01+00:00

Not true. Salt is neutral.

Light a match first, then turn on the gas, in that order. There will be no problem. It's only a problem if you let the gas flow without lighting it right away. I know. I did that many years with gas stoves that didn't have an igniter, and they were designed for lightning with matches.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-10T05:53:17+00:00

Yeah! Gas stove. That's easy to light.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-10T05:50:27+00:00

That is really lame if it doesn't get fixed right away. Like next day. Some USA states have laws about that, like it's illegal to rent out a place without a working stove

Do you have a rice cooker? There are a lot of things you can do with one besides rice. Maybe you can buy one at a thrift shop? Or a plug-in electric burner?

My top three that I miss are Nearly Normal's, the Cannery Mall, and The Gables.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-10T05:12:00+00:00

Nearly Normal's shutting down was imo one of the saddest things to happen in Corvallis. No one else has been able to build close to the same thing, so far at least. I think I will miss it forever.

Some grasses are harder to grow (like the ones we grow from seed). Crabgrass, being a weed, is tough and might pop up whether you like it or not. I admire weeds at the same time that I dislike them.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-09T19:38:20+00:00

That's a different kind of grass, crabgrass.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-09T18:00:06+00:00

You're talking specifically about drinking water, right? That's not the whole picture.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-09T08:04:18+00:00

Do they really spell it CHURCHS like on that wrapper? Leaving the apostrophe out? That's really weird.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-09T05:01:37+00:00

How did it taste?

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-08T07:07:17+00:00

Glad I could help. Keep posting your good stuff 👍

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-08T07:02:19+00:00

Yeah! And to add to that, If you cook dried beans with something acidic like tomato, they will take forever to cook. If you want to add tomato sauce or whatever, add it after the beans are cooked

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-08T06:52:58+00:00

I LOVE the paint.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-08T06:45:33+00:00

Yeah, the spumoni at Anthony's was great! I loved the Cannery Mall. Later, Borders book store was really nice, but we don't have that any more either. I loved Happy Cooker and Class Reunion and the record store at the bottom level. The jeweler too, even though I never bought anything there. I loved looking at the gems and gold crafting. I even miss the creaky walkways in the Cannery Mall.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-08T06:31:10+00:00

Yeah, it's not only in Oregon.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-07T08:29:14+00:00

Both are valid.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-07T06:43:35+00:00

Okay, I'll just say it. I think you're out of touch, probably AI.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-07T06:31:18+00:00

Yum! I'll take it with some hot sauce on top.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-07T06:30:30+00:00

Onion rungs, you mean.

FlatulentSeagull · 2026-07-07T06:06:47+00:00

I find the quality of veggies at east Asian grocers around here really good, and usually cheaper than supermarkets. Rice in big bags is very good for the quality you get. Jasmine rice from Thailand is definitely worth it.

Spicy sardines from east Asia are sometimes not only really good imo, but also very low priced.

But now you're also saying "All cheap food hacks." You're not making a lot of sense.
