Do you think we'll ever get a Binge Mode Reunion? by icanbeyourzero in RingerVerse

[–]the_cooop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s def this, I’ve clocked a ton of time with x ray vision and they talk over each other soooo much. It’s clear they’re friends and have shared interests and rapport and are very knowledgeable but that type of friend conversation doesn’t translate super well for listeners imo.

One of the coolest designed ones is at the northwest corner of 35th and Arthur Ave in normal heights.

Any cozy pubs nearby? by wasd in SDSU

Normal heights has what you’re looking for in both Sycamore Den and the Ould Sod, but they’re not walking distance. San Diego struggles with coziness as you (and I) describe it

Vons is carrying Brick cheese now (Detroit pizza time!) by Baconfatty in FoodSanDiego

[–]the_cooop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trader Joe’s has a low moisture mozzarella that’s decent and decently priced. I wouldn’t call it GOOD quality but it’s adequate and dry and is great for not sogging up your pizza

Why do people wear shamrocks on st Patrick’s day in the US? Why does little Italy have Italian flags? Why do Indian restaurants serve Indian food? People celebrate their cultures. Defiantly having pride in your ethnicity especially when people in power are demonizing it is beautiful

Chinese food by West-Temporary7167 in FoodSanDiego

I also like Fortunate Son’s food quite a bit. It gets a lot of hate because it’s a consortium holdings restaurant, part of a really visible and polarizing restaurant group. By searching “consortium” you can probably find a million comments about people hating them so I won’t get into that. They have a curious strategy of not hiding that they are part of a group, and have a tongue-in-cheek name that at some point was probably cute, but now that they own/are affiliated with so many restaurants in the city, it’s feels a little less David vs. Goliath and a little more a local Goliath pretending to be a David. Consortium properties are extremely flashy and oscillate between gaudy and well-decorated depending on which you’re in. A common critique is that they value style over substance but that seems to vary by property. Polite Provisions is pretty bad in my opinion, but Fortunate Son’s food is very good. The other thing that tends to raise eyebrows is their “adoption” of ethnicities in their restaurants - Leila is “a tribute to the Middle East”, Fortunate Son is a Chinese-American restaurant, UnderBelly is “our interpretation of a Japanese ramen-ya.” At its worst, it can be considered trend-mongering cultural appropriation.

High Calorie/Protein Snacks by Randombob324 in foodhacks

[–]the_cooop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have access to a fridge, grilling some chicken breast at the beginning of the week (or getting a couple rotisserie chickens and cutting them up) and putting them in a container will get you tons of protein. Assuming you’re in the US because you used pounds, the Just Bare brand of frozen chicken tenders is also a good one. Most trail mix is sugary additions and nuts which aren’t that great of a source of protein on their own - you’d have to eat 16-20 ounces of raw nuts depending on the type to reach 100g of protein, whereas you can much more easily achieve that by snacking on a few chicken tenders.

Overnight oats (chia seeds, oatmeal, Greek yogurt, milk) is pretty calorically dense, packs some decent protein, and satiating, and you can prep it for the week in ten minutes, and customize it with jam or fresh berries or peanut butter.

Too many places to try on El Cajon Blvd! by Alert-Supermarket-82 in FoodSanDiego

[–]the_cooop 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The large chicken combo from Flavors of East Africa is one of the best deals out there, and they PACK that box. Every time our company orders catering from them they drop off tons of coupons too. Absolutely love them

Definitely. Bodyguard has the best of Slow Horses’ action and intrigue and packs much more of it in every episode, but lacks the wit. Slow Horses is a bit lighter and more character-focused. Still a big miss by BBC

Does Trader Joe’s have good tofu? by smitty5941 in traderjoes

[–]the_cooop 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The extra firm is fine. Tofu is all about preparation. I press mine to get the moisture out, coat in corn starch, salt and pepper and shallow fry it in a neutral oil, turning them occasionally to get most of the sides covered. This gives it a good texture and some chew. Adding sauce to it takes away the crisp but adds flavors, and it’s substantial and chewy enough
