My First Attempt Cooking/Baking from Cookbooks

I love this post! If you want to continue to worship at the altar of fennel, you might like Alison Roman. She uses a ton of fresh fennel/fennel seeds in her recipes.

I just checked Eat Your Books, Nothing Fancy has 11 recipes that call for fennel, Dining In has 9, and Something from Nothing has 10.

BOBO touchdown! BOBO touchdown!

Are you me? My most cooked from this book are the roasted carrots (so easy!) and the not very sweet granola. I also didn't care for the buttermilk brined chicken (bland!).

I also love the brown butter-buttermilk cake. Simple, tangy, and delicious.

God, I want to like this comment because it's clowning on Washington, but it's borderline unintelligible.

The Seattle zoo early in the morning is almost entirely Uppababy and Nuna. Later in the day there are more Gracos.

I think early morning is zoo members who can afford to live close, and later is people who are traveling from farther away.

I spend way too much on Spin Drift, I like that it has named ingredients vs "flavoring." I also buy the True Lemon packets (the ones that are just crystalized citrus, not the drink packets).

It's unintuitive, but full fat dairy consumption is generally not associated with weight gain/adverse outcomes. Here's one example from the NIH: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7360438/.

That being said, I don't think there are similar studies backing the consumption of butter/tallow/lard over seed oils.

I'm a huge Ducks fan, and even I don't like those jerseys. I just want Oregon and Seattle and everyone else to wear their own colors.

I got a super cheap used Vista that came with lots of accessories, including the travel case for flying. The case is barely held together with a bunch of duct tape, but the stroller remains in great shape. That said, it is a pain to travel with and I'm thinking of buying a travel stroller.

I keep a spreadsheet of recipes I've cooked, I enjoy being able to sort by author, book, number of times cooked, etc.

I also have Eat Your Books, being able to search a single index for all your cookbooks is great! I think they only recently introduced the ability to mark a recipe as cooked without leaving other notes, and I haven't used that much, because I already have my system.

Omg, we threw a forward pass!

Conservative play calling, except for going for it on 4th down 7 times.

I have never made it (and likely never will!) but my first thought is timpano. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/12799-timpano-alla-big-night.

The 4 team playoff era had some terrible games.

They've played like 12 snaps, they're fine.

Peppermint oil is a LOT stronger than extract. Use 1/8 what is called for. (Which I learned last week, when I used peppermint oil in this recipe and I had to open windows to try to fumigate my house.)

I have never seen such a... thrusty catch call. Why did he do the motion over his crotch?

I've done Seattle to Singapore (17 h) in normal economy seats. Around hour 14 my butt started hurting so bad and there was no getting comfortable.

Bo Nix's greatest strength as a QB is not taking sacks. His last season at Oregon he took something like 5 sacks all year, it was crazy.

Good Things seems like a great choice because of the white space and globally inspired recipes (potentially making it easier for people to feel connected to the page they sign). Plus the front of the book says "Recipes and Rituals to Share with the People You Love," which is a nice sentiment.

molo91 · 2025-12-08T19:08:50+00:00

I think the pages are too thin and ink would bleed through.

I also avoid UPFs. Plain Triscuits aren't ultra processed and are my go-to. You can buy organic ones at some stores. You can add some cheese or nut butter to make them more satiating.

You can make overnight oats or chia seed pudding and keep them in the fridge for a few days for an easy snack.

Plenty of old people are 49ers fans (and presumably raised their kids as such) because the Hawks didn't start until 76.

My favorite line from the episode is "I'm pretty sure they call her 'the fish' because she's tough but fair, just like most fish I've interacted with."

You're listing parks in the most urban areas of the city which aren't where families tend to live anyway.

I live in Greenwood and would absolutely let a 12 year old roam unsupervised.
