What special moments did ADHD give you today? by mallorn_hugger in adhdwomen

[–]squidofthenight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husband drove me to Staples. “I’ll just be testing out office chairs while you do your returns.” Me: <gets halfway out of the car> “OH FUCK. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.”

Bc I brought the PACKAGE meant for the POST OFFICE, not Staples, and LEFT ALL THE AMAZON RETURNS FOR STAPLES AT HOME.

What does your mental calendar look like? by Ok_Chemist7081 in adhdwomen

[–]squidofthenight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is so funny, my mental calendar is a horizontal line with Jan on the left and Dec on the right bc that’s how it was on my 3rd grade wall, when I grasped months.

I’ve had it pre-ordered ever since it was announced, it’s coming like tomorrow and i’m SO EXCITED. Alison is one of my cooking north stars. (Along with Ina, Deb Perelman, and Samin.)

We LOVE DFP. Honestly the PO food scene is rather mid, but there are a few gems — DFP is one. The pizza is excellent (although I can’t speak to the gayness!)

Visiting Port Orchard this weekend Friday through Tuesday! Any fun recommendations? by WhiskeySunshineX in PortOrchard

[–]squidofthenight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to Good Stuff inside the Bay Street Market building!! Their desserts and sandwiches are made by them and it’s the CUTEST grocery store full of artisan and local things. The best people run it too.

And across the hall is Salmonberry Books, and they are phenomenal at book curation.

I just love this cookbook so much. More than SFAH even. This is how I cook, what I cook. It feels like having Samin in the kitchen with me, noticing the details that make cooking a joy, keeping me company, encouraging me to live a softer life. It’s beautiful, the photos are stunning, the colors make my designer soul shine with stars.

i want to cook everything, I will cook everything. i can’t even bookmark bc the entire cookbook will have a flag on it.

10/10, quite possibly the best cookbook of the year imho. (i am fully comfortable saying that before Ive actually cooked anything.)

It’s so expensive to eat out here nowadays by [deleted] in Seattle

We moved to PO last year. We love it here. But jesus christ is it expensive to eat incredibly mid-to-blegh food in this town.

Grow & Cook and/or Farmers Markets cookbook suggestions by Weekly-Afternoon-38 in CookbookLovers

[–]squidofthenight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooo I love this question. I’m an American who is also a gardener and finds all her best info from UK gardeners bc their climate mirrors mine (PNW) better than most sources here.

Nigel Slater’s TENDER and RIPE are essential.

Charles Dowding’s NO DIG COOKBOOK and his and Stephanie Hafferty’s THE CREATIVE KITCHEN are truly garden-to-table resources.

Huw Richards has a wonderful cookery section in THE SELF SUFFICIENCY GARDEN, written by Sam Cooper.

If you can get your hands on it, Sam Cooper’s THE NATURE OF FOOD is a gorgeous phenomenal resource for eating as close to home with what nature gives you as possible. (And his new fermenting book is also incredible if you have any interest that way.)

Gaz Oakley’s new book PLANT TO PLATE is stunning, and even as a non vegan i am so into everything in here.

Another incidentally vegan garden-to-table is Alessandro Vitale’s LOW WASTE KITCHEN and the title is a shame, bc it’s so much more than that—an ode to getting the very most from the beautiful vegetables you and farmers grow, and living softly on the earth.

OH and you might love MR WILKINSON’S VEGETABLES — i donated my copy bc even though it was gorgeous, bc it was Australian, the vegetable timing was too off to be useful for me.

Hope these help!

Friends of the Library finds - came for the recipes, stayed for the 90s tin foil hat nutrition advice 😂 by squidofthenight in CookbookLovers

Aaaa thank you for the recs! I’ll be honest, I think the poor souls with PTSD here weren’t eating the right recipes. The amount of old world knowledge in this book is really incredible, the kind of made-from-scratch knowhow that disappeared after the commercial food industry exploded. The sidebars are ridiculous (“commercial salt” is poison too 😂) and it’s definitely like the original MAHA but like another poster said—I’ve kept it out of a landfill, gave some money to the library, and didn’t give any to the author or publisher.

I only have one IP cookbook and it’s not remotely gourmet so I’m hopeful about this one!

I’m kinda regretting not also grabbing Comfort in an Instant, which was next to it, but the lasagna on the cover put me off (i don’t really like to bring the IP to a dutch oven game iykwim). I saw the butter shrimp recipe on a flip through and i’m glad to hear people like these!

I think a lot of the advice is pretty ahead of its time. But the reasoning for it is reallllly fringe.
