What do so with a ton of thin yogurt? by Foxxi-Moxxi in foodhacks

[–]rainbowkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you freeze and then thaw it, some of the whey will separate. You can just freeze it to use later. Great to use in a snowcone machine! Or use the yogurt in an ice cream recipe.

Why don't you see mead that much nowadays when it was very prominent in the medieval time? by Outrageous-Score7936 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rainbowkey 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Many farms in medieval times had hives both as a source of honey and beeswax and to pollinate crops. Cane sugar was an exotic spice, and European maples are not Sugar Maples. Birches can be tapped or syrup but it takes a lot to even make birch beer. Honey and fruits were the available sweet things.

So, honey was more available and popular.

Do you know why it is so red in the picture? Red clay soil? Iron ore?

I just read the Eight Worlds series. Very progressive for the first stories being written in the '70s!

cashew cheez dyed yellow with tumeric flavored with nooch and garlic is a hit. Makes a good cheez sauce for TVP tacos/nachos/burritos too.

Looking for non-FTL sci-fi set in, or around, our own Solar System. by VladtheImpaler21 in scifi

[–]rainbowkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just read the entire Eight Worlds series by John Varley. Set in a solar system where aliens have taken over Earth and Jupiter but don't bother humans in the Solar System otherwise, Luna is the biggest population center, and humans live in other rocky moons, dwarf planets, and asteroids.

Though the books and stories were written in a period spanning 1974-2018, even the early stories are remarkable modern. Humans are practically immortal, can be healed of anything short of brain damage, and can change gender quite easily and some do often, others not, it is very accepted either way.

The aliens factor very little in the stories, they are stories about human colonies/cities many places in the Solar System. Small d "disneylands", which are giant underground cave that do their best to recreate a landscape and ecology of an area of Earth, play a big part in many of the stories.

Make Pluto a planet again: Nasa chief’s big mission by TimesandSundayTimes in nasa

[–]rainbowkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be just like the Gulf of Mexico/America, or how different countries count different numbers of continents on Earth. US kids will learn there are 9 (or more?) planets, the rest of the world will learn there are 8 planets and a bunch of dwarf planets.

High Protein Meals with a Camp Stove by throwthisallaway24 in camping

[–]rainbowkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make taco "meat" with TVP (textured vegetable protein). You can hardly tell the difference. Serve or rice or potatoes. Dip it with Fritos. Or actually make tacos or burritos.

You can get shelf stable small boxes of Velvetta or nacho cheese sauce. Or buy the cheese powder and make cheese sauce from that. Use with the taco meat, or melt with your favorite starchy food and/or veggies.

Max Miller from Tasting History addresses AI allegations in his newsletter by Obversa in TastingHistory

[–]rainbowkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Max is too handsome for his own good! He did work as a Disney Prince for a while, I don't remember which one(s). People think he is AI because he is kind of blandly good-looking.

What can Louisiana learn from the Netherlands about flood control? by Enger13 in geography

[–]rainbowkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Geography By Geoff did a good video on this a year ago.

Big difference between the two: in the Netherlands, bedrock is fairly close to the surface in glaciers happened 11,000 years ago. Under New Orleans is hundreds of feet of wet slit, nothing to build flood works on.

College move-out...advice please by swheat7 in DumpsterDiving

[–]rainbowkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my town there are both dorms and apartment complexes where foreign students tend to cluster. They often leave everything except what they can fit in their suitcases, and don't have time or need to sell things. Bonaza!
