Long ago, I made blueberry cobbler. I think cobbler is one of those dishes that are hard to get wrong. It’s got fruit, sugar, and dough. At its worst, it’s still pretty good.
Banana pudding, however, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten that before. But those vanilla wafers look tempting.
I know this is nit-picking, but do you prefer fresh peaches in peach cobbler? Or will canned/frozen peaches suffice?
It’s funny. That guy looks like he has no idea how to cook anything besides ramen and pb and j. That hat makes him look like a sports guy who’s all about nachos.
But this dude definitely knows his way around the kitchen. It’s a cool surprise!
I like that he uses nutmeg. I’ve heard people complain about nutmeg (and coriander), but I like it a lot.
I like how he made his own pudding.
Heating up milk is tricky though. You turn your back for one second, and it’ll boil over. It’s happened to me so many times.
Damn you, milk! Damn you to hell!
I’m just kidding, milk. You know I can’t quit you–no matter how many times you boil over while I’m looking away.
Finding the truth about these foods isn’t so hard. Accepting the truth is the hard part, because if you accept it, that means either you embark on an unknown (to you) path to a healthier diet or accept the fate that such foods bring.
The first step can be scary because we don’t know what exactly comes next. It’s scary. But if you take it one step at a time, you can improve your diet. Eat less potato chips.
Next, replace canned food with fresh food. Drink less soda; drink more water.
However, if you realize that such a diet is pushing the limit of your food budget, then you realize you have an income problem as well.
Life is tough. Time to get tough with it.
Right. Just like how she talked about the potato chip. If you fry chips at home, there are still some nutrients. But when chips come from a big factory, the chips have gone through so many treatments and chemicals, it’s almost not even really food anymore–it’s a new thing.
It’s a big shift to eat healthier food. In that video she said 50% of Americans’ diets. Just imagine the psychological shift that happens. Eating donuts and comfort foods help us deal with stress. Eating frozen meals help us save time in the evening. Think of how much time is saved by putting food in the microwave vs making it from scratch. Especially if you’re a family of five.
¨There are two types of dietary fiber. Soluble fibers mix with water and slow digestion. They are associated with a decreased risk of heart disease, decreased cholesterol levels, and better blood sugar control. Soluble fiber can be found in some grains, seeds, legumes, and various vegetables. Insoluble fibers are found in foods such as whole grains, beans, and root vegetables. They act as bulk that can help food and waste pass through the gut more easily. The health effects of different dietary fibers, particularly soluble ones, depend partly on their interactions with the microbes that live in the gut, the gut microbiome.¨
As a kid, I’ve eaten sherbert, but I haven’t eaten it since. I’m sure it’s in the supermarket, but I don’t think I’ve ever even noticed it since I was a kid. As i think about sherbet, it seems like a dessert abomination.
But, if I ever notice it in the supermarket, I’d be willing to give a try again–just once.
I was about to say that it doesn’t take much to make a BBQ grill, but it actually does. This guy knows how to weld, and he has lots of equipment. So, once you have tools, skills, and imagination, then it doesn’t take much more than that.
That was impressive. It was satisfying to see him drop a chicken on that grill at the end!
