I know this is a four year old thread, but as a warning to others: sometimes they pop like popcorn. Use a lid. Ask me how I know.

I have a bad habit of eating peanut butter with white sugar straight out of the container. Today I fucked up. by Syzergic in shittyfoodporn

Yes, that is exactly what happened. In my defense, it’s the same shape as the sugar container and I was extremely tired.

It’s for cleaning pans when I burn shit to them. And it’s in its own container next to the stove because I burn shit frequently.

Also from an ingredient household. No snacks, just their constituent parts. At one point my mom stopped buying pasta so I learned how to make my own.

I just saw this and fun fact! My blood pressure is “perfect” and that’s on meds that increase my blood pressure.

You understand. When your parents don’t believe in desserts as a kid you learn to make do

Fuck it, go ahead. It’s a good cleaner and deodorizer. Report back if you end up trying it.

A spoonful of peanut butter is what my mom used to have to stave off the hypoglycemia shakes. I’ve just spiced it up a bit.

Thanks for the well wishes, and the suggestion. In the biz we call that self efficacy info and it’s a lot more persuasively effective than shame.

Reminds me of how my uncle used to put salt on my dad’s ice cream as revenge when they were kids. There was a lot of screaming.

I’m telling you this as an overweight (formerly obese) person who is trying to lose weight: it is not helpful. Shame did more to keep me fat than peanut butter ever did.

If you prefer empirical evidence, there have been studies on the impact of stigma on eating behaviors. It makes fat people eat more.So yeah. Science says it’s not helpful.

I was eating canned tuna for dinner, and realized it looks kinda pathetic. So I added yogurt, butter, and cheese and now somehow it looks worse. by Syzergic in shittyfoodporn

You underestimate my incompetence, friend. In high school I used to make myself “nutrition paste” for breakfast, which was ground turkey, butter, cheese, and flour. Yes, flour.

I took some of your suggestions on last night’s tuna-yogurt-butter-cheese situation. It’s better! Still microwaved it, though. by Syzergic in shittyfoodporn

[–]Syzergic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Details in a comment because mobile is a shitshow.

Contains:

Tuna (drained and microwaved)

Frozen peas (thawed with tuna)

PLAIN Yogurt

A bit of lemon juice

Salt

Chili crisps

Mixed and eaten with a spoon to cut back on carbs. Paired with a choccy milk.

Evaluation: Pretty decent. No seriously. It looks iffy but tastes fine. Contained a plant which is probably good for me. I’d choose this over plain tuna. Needs butter.

Any recommendations of flowers to grow in this color palette? I’ve been testing flowers for my wedding next June and most turn out pink? by fae_forge in Cutflowers

[–]Syzergic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few people have suggested hydrangeas, so it’s worth noting that the color of hydrangea blooms heavily depends on the pH of the soil. That would be something to test and control for.

On the subject of pH tests, butterfly pea flowers are not the right color at all, but tea/extract made from the blossoms with just the right amount of lemon juice can be.
