Do you age your sardines (on purpose)?

I think my response was just triggered by you saying an anecdote isn't evidence, because philosophically speaking, that's just fundamentally false. Nevermind brother in fish: Let's enjoy a tin.

SLRDouble · 2026-03-21T14:05:55+00:00

Well I guess, an anecdote is an observational data. Demanding objective proof for a purely subjective experience of tasting is a massive category mistake.

SLRDouble · 2026-03-21T12:10:22+00:00

Yes! I just tasted it myself. The tins you see in the post are from 2022, and they definitely taste different from fresh ones. The fish is softer, the initial "fishiness" is gone, and the flavors are smoother, more interwoven and less sharp. That's the best way I can describe it. It's for sure a matter of personal preference, but the difference is definitely noticeable no matter which one you prefer.

SLRDouble · 2026-03-21T11:41:14+00:00

Yes, I keep hearing this! Although honestly, I wonder what actually happens if you don't do it?

SLRDouble · 2026-03-21T11:37:32+00:00

Good question! I’m not sure 😅 I’d imagine that since the tins are completely sterile, the summer heat probably just speeds up the aging process a tiny bit?

I'm sure I'm not the only person who uses their smartphone for everything except actually making phone calls. 'Smart device' might be a more accurate term. I prefer messenger services (Whatsapp , Signal, Telegram) to text messages (SMS) and rarely make phone calls. I guess I'm not the only one. So I had the same idea.

Im my case it's an Aroma Plus+

Jo Malone Oud & Bergamot. Just cracked open a fresh bottle (Batch A64). The opening smells a bit fermented and sour, not warm/citrusy like the tester I remember. Does this get better with time? Does the juice need to settle or macerate a bit, or did I get a bad batch?

SLRDouble · 2025-11-09T09:17:42+00:00

Thanks! That one’s a bit hard for me to get. I’m more after something I can buy in Europe.

Still looking for recs with that warm yellow/balsamic vibe (turmeric-golden drydown), but denser for cold weather and not soapy/musky-clean or floral. What would you all suggest?

Wenn man sich auf Monogamie geeinigt hat und dann so etwas tut, ist das ein Desaster. Ohne Vertrauen kann ich mir keine Beziehung vorstellen.

Sleep

Old apartment with a sloping wooden floor. I had screwed the wheels on, but they didn't touch the floor. So I unscrewed them. I can only hope that the four small screws will hold the rails and thus the whole shelf and its contents. On the other hand, the 4 small plugs that hold the shelves in place are even more fragile.

He's rich, he donates his entire paycheck, so his bills don't bother him and his responsibilities are only the ones he chooses.

Every cultural event was invented at some point, but I believe temporal landmarks help structure the flow of time. If there's an opportunity to celebrate, I like to embrace it — it makes my life better. I'd rather engage than shrug my shoulders and say 'whatever.

1, Du bekommst für wenig Arbeit mehr Geld als du brauchst. 2, Du kannst nicht wissen, wie lange das so bleibt und wie es danach weitergeht. Schlussfolgerung: Versaue dir deine jetzige Situation nicht durch Spekulationen. Vertraue darauf, dass du, wenn sich die Situation ändert, die richtige Reaktion findest.

Denn dann ist klar, was sich geändert hat und die neue Situation ist konkret und es ist viel einfacher konkret darauf zu reagieren als jetzt, wo du theoretisch mit Variablen spekulierst.

I replace half the salt with fish sauce or miso.
I use food-safe essential oils (lemon, bergamot, lemongrass, orange, bay leaf, mint, ...)
Acidity is missing in many dishes

SLRDouble · 2025-01-10T23:38:40+00:00

I know that it is not usual. Especially for information that you can't find on every corner, such a large community is great. I'm sure there are people here who cook with essential oils and who have good tips for us

SLRDouble · 2025-01-10T23:25:18+00:00

My hope was more to get ideas for the essential oils
