They had CIA funding before, and they helped Israel plan their attacks in the Gaza zone, so they actively partake in stripping data from any source to help governments be horrible

We put these full spectrum grow bulbs in our lamps because they have a yellow LED to make the white LEDs closer to really daylight look. SANSI Daylight LED Grow Light... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07S2P69VC

The Tims normal coffee is terrible...people order it for the double cream double sugar I guess

Aren't they China made now? I used to buy Stanfield products but last time I stopped in at Walmart the labels now said Made In China

Aka how to make it worse

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Not really sure how that works, any voiding vacuum you create in your mouth my shape or sucking air away is trying to pull things from your surrounding tissue to fill the void. You'd have to pressurize your mouth too push anything into your sublingual area faster

This seems like manager didn't want to pay for another worker to monitor outside garbage bins at the order station like most of our places have, so now the manager is forced to have a person cleanup each shift. If this was just a littering thing then people are shit, but I think it could be a retaliatory behaviour if Tims removed the trashbin in the drive through

The McDonalds coffee is much better or the A&W one. Dark Roast was Tims answer to losing their coffee supplier to McDonalds.

An example, I was on a road trip after a flight, Tims was the only thing open at a roadside stop. I ordered a multigrain bagel. It had zero taste and the texture of sawdust and cardboard. It was so bad I tossed half of it in the garbage. While I like good food, I will also just eat what is available, but this was so terrible I couldn't finish it.

A lot of ours have them as you pull up to drive through so you can make room for your order. This seems like manager didn't want to pay for another worker to monitor outside bins, so now the manager is forced to have a person cleanup each shift.

Might pull more saliva out of your glands for a quicker dissolve, but a vacuum is trying to pull opposite of the wanted affect of it being pushed into your cells under the tongue

I'm all for that.

 

My wife was sick today and she finds that spicy food seem to help her feel better.

So South Asian lentil base Sambar soup for dinner, but I added some leaks, ginger, peas and orzo to give it some heartiness.

Very hot, since a big part of the base is ground chilly powders.

 

Spicy corn dish as a snack. Normally you garnish with some coconut and eat with Roti, but corn tacos work too.

 

Tonight is a Spicy Thai Eggplant-Tofu Stirfry.

 

My wife ate too much risotto yesterday, and some for breakfast, so its a quick stir fry just for me tonight.

 

Tonight's dinner for two is Mushroom Risotto. Normally risotto asks for white wine and chicken broth. For the base I sauteed onions and carrots in some juice from Majlis green olives (it has like a vermouth flavour to it) with a few fennel seeds and some sage and rosemary, mushroom salt, pepper and some lemon.

Tonight we were running out of veg, so a simple Broccoli and "Beef" teriyaki.

Beef was from dried Soya Wadi from an Indian grocer. They are a dried and defatted soya product. Simmered those in a combo of spices and soy sauce and Marmite mixture.

Teriyaki sauce was: 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 table spoons of brown sugar, some ginger and garlic. Warm it up then add a 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to a 1/4 cup of cold water and once mixed, dump into pot and simmer about 5-8 minutes till it thickens.

 

Crispy Tofu tonight with some stirfried veg in a sweet chilli sauce, and some flat rice noodles.

Today, as an old guy, I was cleaning our glass top stove. The Weiman cleaner is in the cupboard above the stove. I squirted a bunch on the dirty rings and then realized its normally white not blue paste.

Turns out I grabbed the Cascade Complete dishwasher liquid. Duh.

I started to wipe it and realized it was pulling off the baked on food better than the stove cleaning product.

Best it has looked in 5 years.

P.s. made sure to fully rinse all of it off so no residue remained.

 

My wife liked the Polynesian sauce she had as a kid. So I reduced black cherries and pineapple down into a thick sauce, and a bit of ketchup and Catalina dressing to give it that zing she remembered. Poured that over some veggie chicken tvp product, and various stirfried veggies.

She loves the sauce so my plate (shown) has very little.

 

Still working on getting my tawa seasoned and batter consistency sorted out. But making dosa batter from scratch with cumin seeds, chopped chillies, ginger, curry leaves, and cilantro, is so delicious compared to the boxed mix. (And if I can say so, better than some dosa places I have eaten at)

 

Pot of bean and tvp chilli, and some slices of homemade bread. A good sharp breadknife makes life so much easier.

Baba Ganoush (lemmy.ca)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by BCsven@lemmy.ca to c/veganhomecooks@lemmy.world
 

Baba Ganoush is very low effort if you have a food processor.

Slice a large eggplant in half and place face down in a glass pan.
Add a tablespoon or two of oil. Sprinkle various spices on top.

  • garlic powder
  • paprika
  • red chilli powder
  • salt and pepper

Cover dish and bake for an hour at 350°F. (Edit wrong letter before oops C and F make a difference LOL) Skin should be a bit blackened and shriveled. At this point you can leave it in the oven with heat off to let it further roast and cool down.

Take out, let it cool, and uncover when ready to start.

Pick up the halves the inner will be super soft and ready to slide right out of the skin with the help of a spoon. Scoup it all into the food processor. A little skin going in is fine. Adds flavour.

If there is juice in the dish you can pour that in too, or add a tiny amount of water to the dish to pull some of the spice mix out and add to processor.

Add 2 fresh cloves of garlic, a half a pealed lemon, a table spoon of oil.

Toast a layer of sesame seeds in a six or nine inch skillet (lightly oiled). And add those to the processor. You can buy tahini if you don't want to deal with toasting seeds.

Blend it till garlic and seeds are smoothed into the paste. Add salt and pepper to taste.

This makes a ganoush with deep flavour, it won't be like the pale white looking ganoush you see at some stores.
