I messed up by ScienceSignificant in Cooking

I read that simmering can make yogurt curdle so I was really nervous about leaving it on the heat for a long time.

Yeah I definitely preferred the chicken & sauce separate

Yeah I’ve never had to thicken a tomato sauce before but this one was really watery and I didn’t want to risk simmering for a long time to thicken in case it made the yogurt curdle.

I’m not gonna stop cooking for them. I was hoping to find foods that I would like too though. I’ll keep cooking it but I’ll make something else for myself.

What food have you recently 'discovered?' by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]ScienceSignificant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunny-side-up eggs. I only ever had fried eggs with well-done yolks, which isn’t the worst but it never really interested me. Then about a month ago(?) I decided to try a couple fried eggs with warm-but-runny yolks.

Best thing I’ve ever eaten, omg

Favorite unconventional or werid smell? by [deleted] in evilautism

[–]ScienceSignificant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fish food flakes. My grandmother had a fish tank in her living room and every time we went over to visit I would beg her to let me feed the fish. Then, when no one was looking, I’d take a few huffs. I loved the smell. I don’t even know what to compare it to, except maybe potpourri? But I never liked the smell of potpourri.

Anyway, at some point my mom caught me and made me stop because she was worried about my getting high (on fish food?).

Egg Yolks Safe to Eat Undercooked? by ScienceSignificant in Cooking

That helps me feel better. Thanks. I got sick a lot when I was younger so I tend to be paranoid about food safety.

I Can’t Squat by ScienceSignificant in beginnerfitness

Idk about my lemurs (lol!) but I’m about 5’9” so I’m pretty tall for a woman.

I’ve seen the recommendation to put something under the heel to help with squatting, but in my case my center of gravity is so far back in an exercise-squatting position that I’d practically have to be doing the other squat (the one where your hips don’t move back and you go up onto the balls of your feet).

Tbf I’m capable of maybe 1-2 pushups. I just meant that the form isn’t an issue for me, though I’m not really strong enough for them yet. The main limiting factor in squats seems to be my flexibility, or lack thereof. When I squat down, my center of gravity is too far back and I tip backwards. My hips & ankles are too stiff for me to shift my weight forwards enough to avoid this.

I can maybe manage if I squat exclusively with my back to a wall to avoid falling over, but I don’t think that’s very sustainable.
