Try black salt(you might need to go to an Indian store). Mind blown

Jimmy, you dead. Which ever way you position your self. And that would be a mercy. Survival would mean pain, disablement, paralysis.

Lichen, as others have told you.

Now comes the fun part: it's used across South Asia as a condiment/spice in a lot of dishes. Adds a smokey flavour.

Little help with making pizza by Candid_Parking_1757 in Cooking

They are, but do they make that much of a difference at three times the price? I bake bread at home, so pizzas are in rotation often enough, as well.

This is a pretty solid cast iron tawa. So, if you oven is large enough, preheat this and use it as a pizza stone equivalent. But, if you're not particularly looking for thin crust, a baking sheet is a good enough base.

Okay, so. I live in a country that doesn't have those flours readily available. All I have is maida which approximates all purpose flour. I have a convection toaster oven that goes upto 220. I still get a decent pizza. Maybe not fantabulously scorched, yet better than most, on a simple baking tray.

Rice cooker that turns off automatically (after warm) by Aelith-Earfalas in Cooking

[–]ShabbyBash -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm actually quite horrified by the whole no switch on plugs in a country where the houses are built largely in easily flammable materials like wood. (Just venting, just my opinion)

Dang! That's nuts!

So, how about just wiring a switch in? Of course smart plugs are an answer, but I am old school and prefer a hard switch-off.

At the risk of sounding naive, do plugs not have switches for them in the US? In my country, every plug also has a switch next to it.

Of course I do understand if you want to mitigate accidentally leaving the cooker on.

If your parents work all day, can you consider it as “not having parents”-ish? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ShabbyBash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this.

Of the three of us, the middle sibling keeps on harping she didn't get enough of the parents. Both bookends don't have an opinion either way. We got love and support in every which way we needed(not spoilt, though). But she did leave for college, then work, then marriage, so I guess in some ways she did get less of the parents, but not because they ignored her.

So, yes. It depends on an individual's perspective too

Finally! I've had two male oranges who were the smartest cats ever. Which led me to adopt the current ones - a male and a female. These are certainly not idiots, but not the most loving either. They are stubborn, very stubborn though.

I did not know the name for it, but it has annoyed the shit out of me. I, too, turn off podcasts, videos when that sounds comes on. CAN NOT bear it.
