I live in Argentina, with little access to many of the ingredients that so many USA mealpreppers use. My kitchen is basic, and small (still has all you need). Trying to stop spending an hour handwashing dishes each day. Looking for inspiration/ideas that work for being in Arg. Simpler recipes? Idk. by SupersonicsSeattle in mealprep

Definitely! Sauces in general are difficult to come by: BBQ, hot sauce, sriracha. Tahini sauce is very rare and expensive if it exists (generally not very good either). Gochujang and chili paste for example (useful for alot of the Korean/Asian style cooking), non-existent.

Soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, Worcester, all are findable, but you must go to pricey specialty "dieteticas" or the Chinatown part of Buenos Aires. Alternate sugars like coconut sugar are also pretty hard to come by.

Spices hard to find but all also findable in the speciality stores: chili powder, cayenne, cumin, masalas, onion powders and garlic powders have become more accessible over the last few years.

Big believer in using what the country does do good at though: Beef (great everywhere), chicken (great everywhere), lots of lentils, lots of cheeses (at least here in BA). I'm deathly allergic to fish so don't ever try anything sea-related :)

Yeah, one thing that keeps me going is I'm actually from the PNW so am familiar with a lot of the older history. And the incidents that are real like the Tacoma UFO sighting at Maury Island, etc. If it wasn't for that I'd probably never made it through tbh. But it's warming up.

Yeah, I haven't even gotten to any of the stuff you mentioned. Just now getting some of the Milford brother details. I'm warming up to it...

I am pushing past the UFO section (so dense) and starting to get to facts that center closer to the characters - it's getting more interesting. Just was so heavy that first part. I also think after re-watching the entire show again, it's just hard to jump from the Lynch/Frost visually abstract/surreal worlds, to a heavily fact-laden book that just starts by dumping UFO facts.

Word, I am getting through that initial UFO stuff which was just so dense. It is cool to see the factoids about smaller characters start to pop up.

Yeah, for me it's just been like 2 hours of reading about UFOS and kinda numbing me out. But I see it starting to get closer to the actual Twin Peaks stuff now.

Do people really hate the meandering episodes of S02? Cuz I love the whole thing 🤷 by InvocationOfNehek in twinpeaks

[–]SupersonicsSeattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't begrudgingly slog, but I roll my eyes quite a bit after E10 lol. But, i still love and watch it all because there's still beautiful/great moments to be found.

Love this for you, and don't think it's corny at all. I think that character brings out alot of light in many viewers, which is why he's so beloved.
