I’m glad to hear this! It’s sure easier and tastier. :)

Those are amazing! Also nutritional yeast is pretty good to add in.

I love it in bolognese or lasagna… Or in tortillas. Or well, anywhere, it’s so easy to just add different spices.

I add plenty of oil in the pan and some onions, then add the dry TVP, mix well, add all the spices, let fry until it looks “right” and then I add water/veggie broth or canned tomatoes, depending on what I do. This works with small or smaller texture or “mince-type” or so.

With big, steak-like pieces I do soak them in hot water for like 5 minutes before frying, but never boil.

TVPs are absolutely underrated, it sure takes some learning but after that… Cheapest ever. (Never boil, always fry with spices and then add a little bit of water/veggie stock/tomato sauce…)

It’s so fun to redownload the app twice just before meeting (on phone as I need the camera) and then still end up using it in the browser without logging in!

Just a polite reminder that if you only need to print a few papers, it’s probably cheaper/easier/free to use the printer at local library! Mine does it for like 15 cents a paper, or for free if you have your own paper! Much less hassle than buying a good printer, sorting the ink situation and then fighting with that machine…

I think I break more. I don’t use makeup and wear very boring clothes and we have strong religious cults around here, so I’m always expected to be one of those cultists - until I open my mouth and start swearing.

People who do crating don’t think they’re confining anything or doing anything bad tho

Religions and doctors “vowing to protect life.” Especially religious doctors “vowing to protect life” even when the life means just pain and suffering that can’t be properly eased with pain meds either, because you know, the dying person might get addicted to the meds. That’s obviously worse.

In my country, when an elder person is too sick and “ready to be euthanized”, they just stop giving them water and let them dry to death. It can take weeks. They do give some pain medication, but there is no way of knowing what amount is enough. You’d imagine that dying that way is pretty damn painful yet they don’t have a way of communicating that. But if they OD’ed, it would be murder so better let them suffer!

But also, euthanizing animals is becoming more taboo too. Many pets live in pain, relying in “pet mobility carts” and medications. Antidepressants for cats, epilepsy meds for dogs… Vets prolong the suffering for money, for people who can’t accept facts and do the kind and right thing. Animals have no way of communicating about side-effects from medications. Endless rehoming is thought to be better than letting go.

I’ll continue with my Nokia C2-01 then.

Looks delish!

I’m just about to heat up the grill and then prepare some food, and in the evening I’ll make a cake. Nice sunny and warm day.

I’d say the Scary Movie 3’s “everyone around you is dying” is better than what my parents did once our cat was old and put down. They lied that the neighbor had droven over him and he had suffered so they had taken the cat to the vet to be put down. I got to pet the dead cat before we all buried him in our garden. I held hatred towards the neighbor until I grew old enough to see through the lie…

So I’d say that the petting, goodbyes and burial was good. But the lie was unnecessary. You can be pretty damn honest with kids, they like it because they’re always lied to… I loved adults who were honest with me and I see kids like me when I’m honest to them.

Well, yeah, obviously. DDG has a lot less money than Google, and has existed a lot less time too. It would be silly to expect perfection, which Google can’t do either.

Jooh, tuntuu foliohatulta, mutta itse tulen jättämään pelin kesken, kun kirjautumispakot iskee - tai ainakin yritän sitä. Ei tähän yksilönä oikein voi vaikuttaa. Ei auta kuin suunnitella ja valmistautua, eli radiota uutisia varten, älypuhelimeen jää vain nettipankki ja sitä käytän esim. kirjastossa… Kirjeitä ja puheluita, Nokia on jo vuosia ollut pääluurina itsellä. Leffat ja pelit fyysisenä hyllyssä, ja ne toimivat laitteilla, jotka ei vaadi nettiä. Ainakin yritän.

Tehomaksut kuluttajille, veroalet halleille! “:)”

Eivät tuota vakituisia työpaikkoja, sähkönhinnat nousee kuluttajille ja kupla puhkeaa ajallaan…

Why wouldn’t horse meat be allowed to serve in restaurants? It’s perfectly normal here, very tasty and good quality meat.

Raw chicken, no, salmonella risk. All meat would need to be tested, every single piece, so it wouldn’t be very sustainable.

Here people can get social services to buy them a cheap smartphone because it’s “necessary”. (Well, only necessary because public transportation is allowed to do BS like this and so on…) So everyone can obtain one, if they wish. But elders and disabled people might not know how to use one safely, and the internet still costs money…

Wow, ouch, ew. Sorry to hear that, but probably good riddance.
