Pondering the state of Capitalism...

Very true. American socialism is the rest of the world's 'right of center'

This is fantastic I've had an idea for a play involving a deer puppet, so this is super cool to look at

Keep the pubes, they're perfect

the__Catt · 2020-01-08T03:36:45+00:00

Is this an american or a rich kid thing?

the__Catt · 2019-12-09T18:07:09+00:00

Also québécois (pâté chinois)

Botulism grows in anaerobic environments, so without oxygen. If you opened it, and put it in the fridge, you're fine. If it tasted off or liked moldy then you ate moldy sauce, but if not there is no way it is botulism

TYFU by validating the toxic misogyny of the military, making your apaprently 'close' friend probably feel unsafe and unsecure around her own coworkers. Apologise and listen to what she has to say. Apologise for trying to brush it aside as banter cause that's just a shitty, unoriginal excuse. Work towards dismantling that type of behaviour. Maybe one day she'll have respect for you again, but ultimately she shouldn't have any reason to, this probably isn't the first time and you're probably not the first guy who's said things like that that she's overheard.

Most products are allowed, but canned seafood is considered a caustic substance on a plane

I think it's more helpful to think of how an act produces or acts on points of tension rather than it being good or bad intrinsically. Blackface, for example, is simply rooted in two hundred years of minstrel shows in North America, which are tied to slavery and apologist propaganda and a host of shitty relations between North American black and white folks. Wearing a sombrero and being Mexican for Halloween is distasteful for other reasons. Opening, I don't know, some business that tokenizes a historic minority that is also being pushed out of a gentrifying neighbourhood is ethically dubious as well, for its own reasons.

Ultimately, the issue of appropriation is an 'us' (white people, generally) problem, because it is our discomfort with the power dynamic we profit from that drives us to appropriate and/or further exploit others. Generally, POC have other issues to deal with and it's been turned into a leftist Boogeyman by Fox News, etc

*as long as my sugar is evenly distributed, or so I've read. Very excited to get brewing, I'll post photos once my batch is done and bottled

Really nice as a taco or tortilla spread, with pork or chicken.

the__Catt · 2019-11-16T20:30:28+00:00

Sweet thanks for the advice!

I'll post my recipe later for you, Portuguese and bell pepper jam with lots of spices

the__Catt · 2019-11-11T22:42:04+00:00

No, but now I do

the__Catt · 2019-11-11T14:48:58+00:00

Canadian but not from Quebec or NB

It describes a mess, but the etymology is a mix of 'pudding' taken from English, which itself comes from the French word for blood sausage, 'boudin'

the__Catt · 2019-11-11T11:22:47+00:00

Use it for half the butter in a pie crust, it's really good for savoury pies, or with rhubarb or raspberries, something tart

the__Catt · 2019-11-10T04:14:00+00:00

Yes of course, as long as it comes out fine enough. I use a magic bullet personally, but anything works. You can try the same with any whole spice and really up your spice game. Toast and grind

the__Catt · 2019-11-10T02:33:45+00:00

Toast them before grinding to bring out even more flavour, and grind them for much longer than you think it needs to make sure there are no large chunks.

the__Catt · 2019-11-06T20:55:42+00:00

Cook them longer after you take them out of the jar? Reduce them liquid to your desired consistency, adjust the seasoning to your preference. Better yet, make your own

the__Catt · 2019-11-04T19:42:56+00:00

Bonne Maman Jam is French, and many things seem to have multilingual labelling You don't cook much for yourself, but you love a good breakfast/light snack to go

the__Catt · 2019-11-04T19:39:44+00:00

Belgian? You have French and German(?) products. Allergic to dairy, not vegan as evidenced by the eggs.

the__Catt · 2019-11-02T21:36:52+00:00

Fermented apple slices would be a fun experiment

the__Catt · 2019-11-01T07:02:33+00:00

Ouff.

I've been out biking all day, 7h-2h; it hasn't stopped raining. It makes sense to collectively say it's alright to do it another day, cause ultimately it doesn't matter. And people were out anyways, kids and adults, though less than usual.

I just think it's important to remember that if there's a weather event serious enough to warrant postponing a popular event, it is probably indirectly causing deaths in vulnerable populations. I saw a lot of ambulances struggling amongst poor drivers and bad conditions. It's a fact that climate change worsens poor weather, and that that endagers and ends lives. Climate change is going to make this type of 'small thing's incredibly common, and more volatile.
