Love Zhaoying Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Maybe the more you post in a particular Forum, the bigger your cache / cookie gets until it stops working? I can't imagine it is just because of the individual Forum size itself. Or, we'd all be having issues in various of the larger Forums. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orwar Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) I have encountered two peeves in less than half an hour. Peeve I: When you're trying to suckle the last milk out of the carton and your tongue slips into the hole and is sucked back by the vacuum. I did not consent to this snogging! Peeve II: When you're trying to find a recipe online and you have to dismiss the first three results because all of them start with '250 grams of margarine or butter'. Margarine is not a proper substitute for butter, nor is it a substance fit for human consumption. But in baking, it's outright sacrilege which warrants the most cruel punishments known to man. I suppose the resulting sub-par biscuits might be a punishment in its own right, but it just isn't bloody enough!

I'll give you a preview: People out there cooking with Fritos, Cheetos, and Doritos. Once saw a girl boil chicken in plain water. Not broth. No herbs. No spices. No salt. No pepper. Just plain water. Ramen noodles sandwiched between two huge layers of American cheese in a frying pan... Some girl dumped dry pasta right into an aluminum pan without taking the huge paper sticker out first, loaded it up with soup and all kinds of mess, tossed it into the oven...that one HAD to be parody but...maybe not? I mean, she used up a ton of food... Oreo fried rice....because that's a thing...

Someone hasn't yet discovered the horrors of TikTok cooking. 😂 I don't do TikTok. My attention span is sufficiently deficient without it rotting my brain, thank you very much! But yeah, I don't like margarine, it's a defacement of our culinary culture which, unlike some of those 'recipes' you describe, has poisoned the masses and become socially acceptable with its vulgar falsity in its claim to be just as good as butter. BUTTER. Butter is the ambrosia of mortals, it is life-saving energy wrapped in splendorous flavour, essential nutrients delivered in the form of passion - to say that butter is good for you, is as no less obvious than to say that air or water is good for you. Margarine, on the other hand .. Margarine is over-processed, hydrogenised refuse, about as healthy as a tainted oyster dragged out of raw sewage and as flavourful as a rain-rinsed ashtray forgotten outside of a French café with an upstairs brothel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really good with faces and then can remember someones name, but if someone say's a name or I only see a name, I'm like a deer stuck in headlights trying to remember.. In SL if someone IM's me and I don't recognize them, I have to do a log search of their name and a quick read of our last conversation.. hehehe If there isn't one, then I'll just have to ask where I know them from..

Crème caramel is one of my favourite desserts, the rich, creamy pudding enveloping the sharp sweetness of the caramel is lovely - and caramels themselves, excellent. But on a popcorn, on top of a cheesecake. Along with chocolate covered pretzels. It doesn't seem particularly .. Sophisticated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original link from Google goes to a grocery store's recipe & inspiration page. 🤢 To make it more offensive, the recipe calls for a pre-made frozen cheesecake. So, in essence, it's a recipe telling you to bust out a store-bought boxed cheesecake and load it up with caramel, popcorn, and pretzels. The only thing you actually make from scratch is the caramel sauce. Points for recommending butter, I suppose? 😩 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
