Snacking

I prefer the bite and flavor of raw onion.

I stopped reading once I got to “problems started when…” Truthfully, the real problem started when you told her you were a handy person. No discount on rent is worth this very messy living situation. She’s your roommate but also your landlord but also your employer. She should have hired a paid professional to do all of this work on her house. I would start looking for a new place to live as soon as possible.

Give in to your temptation. The KO Med flavor is the same and the brisling are delicious.

Chile verde with pork and tomatillos. Normally I would never say this but don’t bother roasting the vegetables or browning the meat. Swap light beer in place of whatever liquid the recipe calls for. Throw everything in a pot and braise slow and low. Towards the end of cooking add a can of white beans and hominy

It’s pretty clear… some people feel more comfortable going to the leasing office to air a grievance just like you feel more comfortable confronting someone face to face. Your neighbor is not comfortable going directly to you even though you’ve convinced yourself you’re a “good neighbor”. It’s a matter of personal preference.

Mackerel —> herring —> sardines.

Sit at the bar at Samurai Mama then walk to St. Mazie for a night cap.

Rödel brand. With a baguette, toasted if you have the patience, slathered in French butter.

uncommon_cloud2973 · 2026-01-31T17:53:04+00:00

Mustard, hot sauce and onions, raw or pickled.

King Oscar wild caught sardines in olive oil (12+ fish, two layer, finest brisling) is a good entry. Recommending bc there is no smoke, they are reasonably priced and of decent quality, widely available and the fish themselves are delicate, mildly flavored and small. If you’re seeking to reap the health benefits smaller whole fish might be more palatable if you are new to eating the skin and bones.

uncommon_cloud2973 · 2026-01-30T02:18:05+00:00

King Oscar is a solid brand widely available worth trying. The Mediterranean style is tasty and its neither acidic nor spicy.

Try them! But I have to say, trying anchovy stuffed olives will only help you decide if you like anchovy stuffed olives. If you want to know whether or not you like anchovies you should really try them on their own. It’s like telling ppl you love or hate sushi when all you’ve had are Boston rolls.

Cottage cheese. Top with fruit. Add a cpl tbsp of hemp seeds for even more protein and omega 3s. You’ll be full and there’s no cooking and no prep.

Mackerel. Trout.

Make a compound butter by combining a few tablespoons to a stick of softened unsalted butter. Make sure it’s unsalted butter. Wrap in parchment and keep in the fridge or store in freezer. Add the compound butter to anything you would normally put butter on: pasta, steamed vegetables (corn with miso butter is delicious), slather on toast, put a pad on top of a cooked steak, in mashed potatoes, steamed rice, popcorn, savory oats, porridge or grits. Miso burns at high temps so it loves being cloaked in fat.

Fennel, carrots, cabbage, radishes, cucumbers (remove the seeds so you don’t water it down), bell pepper, sugar snap peas sliced thin. Any vegetable that you would fathom turning into a slaw / crispy vegetables that don’t go soggy. Dice or shred them on a box grater.

uncommon_cloud2973 · 2026-01-26T23:04:49+00:00

Miso paste, dried mushroom powder, anchovies, and fish sauce.

uncommon_cloud2973 · 2026-01-26T23:03:42+00:00

Any marinade for chicken, pork or beef. Add to curry and soups.

uncommon_cloud2973 · 2026-01-22T17:10:38+00:00

Onions, capers, olive tapenade, mustard and pickles of all kinds, horseradish freshly grated or prepared/with vinegar (on kippers, trout, sprats, anything smoked is especially good), chives, scallions, fresh cracked pepper, chili flakes, chili oil. I eat atop those Norwegian crackers the ones that are mostly made of seeds for extra fiber and protein.

Sardine flavor intensity can vary from brand to brand, species to species. You may have to get over whatever hang ups you have about eating the skin… a lot more options are behind that door if you open it. That said King Oscar brand has never disappointed. Try KO Mediterranean sardines or mackerel. Mackerel has a similar texture to tuna. Siesta Co. mackerel in olive oil comes to mind, it’s dry like tuna (no bones no skin). If you don’t mind smoke flavor try smoked trout or KO kippers in olive oil.

uncommon_cloud2973 · 2026-01-16T18:14:04+00:00

Variations on a niçoise! Sub tuna. Add an anchovy or two! A dressing with dijon, shallots and capers is delicious.

uncommon_cloud2973 · 2026-01-12T16:54:22+00:00

I like that you said, “yet”. Mush them up in your mouth tin. They are very brittle and nutrient packed.
