Beet greens are hella good. Saute or carmelize some onions and garlics, throw in greens, maybe something savory like Braggs liquid aminos, hoison or soy sauce. Beets roasted in canola oil

Also infused some charred husks in olive oil for a salad dressing. Corn is wonderful flavours. Do you steep them and remove like tea or leave them in? My mom's got a bunch of corn kicking around and I was gonna make some chowder this afternoon.

The menstrual blood cookies are old news guys. There's very little blood in them and she admitted she used food coloring. It's weird but this is the internet, there's always grosser poo poo. This (http://www.amazon.com/Semenology-The-Semen-Bartenders-Handbook/dp/1482605228) exists though. I own a copy. I feel like its worse than the cookbook one and the blood cookies and I say that as someone that ingests semen on a semi-regular basis.

It's so not at all a big deal? It's been the case here in the Bay for quite a while (multiple years?) and it's pretty cool. Lotsa places have fancy corn plastic bags you can also use. But yeah, either bring your reusable bags (I've used them as long as I can remember because my mom was rad and you used to get these rad canvas tote kind that I love and hoard) or buy the paper/bioplastic one. I kept forgetting for a hot minute when it was easier to BART than drive to the store so I'd "punish" myself by making myself buy a new reusable one each time... I quickly remembered to bring them, or clipped one of the expandable ones to my key ring. EASY PEASY. And much less plastic in the loving ocean. Pretty sure it's also the case all over Europe. E: Just remembered it's also the case in Austin, so LA is lagging behind Texas in environmental policy.

Actually, what the vast majority of people call "burritos" are Mission burritos and originate in San Francisco. They are based on similar regional Mexican food but are not Mexican from Mexico. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_burrito

Man, I've lived in Oakland for the last 11-12 years and eaten a gently caress ton of BBQ, I have no idea what a goddamn koolaid pickle is and don't think I've seen one? And I love pickles, I eat them at every opportunity. The best BBQ comes from an oil drum under a tent in an empty lot. Sometimes there are plastic chairs, sometimes there arent.

Ferry Building farmers market for lunch, (Hapa isn't there on Saturday, boooo) so probably 4505 meats or market food, State Bird Provisions for dinner. Either Alta or Rich Table the other night.

Ike's is good; initially the ingredients were of higher quality and as they expanded there was a marked decline in quality but they are still pretty dang good. Did brunch at 15 Romolo (mehhhhh) and snacks at Hog n Rocks, awesome vignerone tasting/meet n greet at Arlequin and dinner at State Bird Provisions... Dinner was incredible, totally lives up to the hype. I'll do an effort post with photos and descriptions tomorrow but now I'm going to go drink a high life in the bath tub with my handsome boyfriend.

I'll go out on a limb and say that macaroni and cheese shouldn't be the main portion of a meal for children (or anyone) at all, but even without making the argument about future healthcare costs from a childhood of eating nutritionally deficient, carb/fat/empty calorie convenience foods, it's been shown over and over and over that calorie-dense, nutritious meals can be made on the cheap with proper budgeting, cooking what's in season or on sale and developing a pantry of staples.

Many restaurants don't list prices on the menus on their website because they are subject to change more often than they update the website. It's to avoid people coming in and bickering/being upset because it's different than what they saw on the web. The physical menu they hand you in the restaurant will have the prices listed. Sounds like that reviewer is probably not a very experience fine-dining diner or did not pay much attention... I have a hard time believing the tap water = 9.50 bottle of water and the wine thing went down exactly like they said, although it's not out of the realm of possibility.

No Wave posted:Does anyone have any really good strawberry-rhubarb tart recipes? I figure it's the pie of the moment. My gran's recipe was always ~2 cups small chopped rhubarb (or parboiled then frozen rhubarb) then top with 1.5 cups sugar, one large egg, 1tbsp butter, sprinkle of nutmeg and ground clove whipped together seperately. I've added strawberries a few times and it worked just fine. If you only use 2 cups rhubarb it is definitely on the sweet side, I don't have much of a sweet tooth so I usually make a larger pie with more rhubarb (my plants are HUGE) and stretch the sugar/egg mix with a bit more butter or some extra egg just to spread it around. Be careful about adding water or milk because rhubarb is deceptively juicy when cooked.

My mom has a big butcher block cutting board on a cart with wheels, it's a great island. Sturdy enough for a few year's use and far more functional than the vast majority of built-in islands I've seen. Look for one of those? Reminds me of the 60's style hostess carts, but for work instead of presentation.

Ummmm, Costco is pretty amazing if you need to buy anything like bleach, dog food, organic salad greens (that huge box,) lightbulbs, booze, wine, beer, coffee beans, canned beans, butter, milk, protein powder, vitamins, prescription glasses. Cigarettes, perfume/cologne, jeans, some cheeses or meats... I bought 14lbs of cherrywood smoked thick cut bacon split into two sealed packs for ~$1 a pound. Walk around, see what they carry, see how much it costs (make a list dummy) and you will know what's a better buy there vs other places.

Going over my most recent costco receipts and recent purchases (granted I live in the magical Bay Area where everything is expensive and yet we grow it all within 70 miles... some things I adjusted to reflect an average price over time) dog food - 40lb bag of grain free, high end dog food, revolving type of proteins, -$36-39 giant jug of dog treats that are made of solely dehydrated chicken/duck breast (ive eaten them when starving) $17 3lbs of shade grown, organic coffee beans - $15 3lbs of Kerrygold Irish butter - $9 2 2gal jugs of milk - 7.59 Huge box of mixed greens - $3.59, grocery outlet regularly sells half rotten ones for $5 but this lasted 3 weeks. clorox- three massive jugs - $8.99 the bacon I mentioned before - pennies more than $1 a pound organic canned black beans and pinto beans - didnt plan to buy 8 cans at a time but for less than .80 a can I bought the 8pack no problem, cheaper than the dollar store. Protein powder - I regularly get 3lbs for like $15 supplements - I like their fish oil, 8.99 for the biggest loving jug ive ever seen, laundry static sheets - 7.99 for a massive box that has lasted more than a year and smells great american cheese (gently caress you, sometimes I'm drunk so I like to keep some in the freezer for grilled sammies) - 5lbs for $17 most other cheeses and meats are cheaper elsewhere, like frozen chicken breasts/thighs or feta, but cheaper than the gas to drive elsewhere sometimes if Im already taking the car out. once I found my burbury perfume for $25, that was nice. I guess some people really like the shampoo and poo poo there but I usually buy the hippie poo poo without salt in it at the Grocery Outlet. booze can be hit or miss, I usually just buy off work so i pay wholesale but have bought the kirkland brand (grey goose, macallan, etc bottled under generic label) for retarded cheap in the past. I got a glasses prescription for about $60 (had to be dialated) and then took it to coastal.com and got two pairs of designer glasses for $99, so I guess thats a win. Oh poo poo, once I bought tires an a car battery there, it was cheaper than walmart and they replaced the battery four years later for no charge (and gave me a $6 refund???) because.... something. I dunno, I gave them my phone number when they asked and somehow they owed it to me? Basically, costco fuckin rules. between there and the grocery outlet and the mexican market, I live reallllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy high on the hog for real little money. Worst comes to worst, split it with a friend. Oh yeah, and their gas is the same price as an Arco here, so whichever is closer - IM GOLDEN. E: forgot clothes. Sometimes I find the exact size I wear in levis or calvin kline pants and I wear those for work. They are $15-20 at Costco when they have them and $80+ at the Levis store. I bought a cute cardigan for work there once too. Edit #2 I am that crazy broad who keeps track of the prices of this poo poo and these are all the things that I buy at costco exactly because they are cheaper than the dollar store/grocery outlet/farmers market/farm. I keep lists of what I need from where so I can make big trips and stock up, but both my ex husband and my current boyfriend the chef comment on what nice things I buy for being frugal... I always cringe when I see the Duggars throw 30 cans of slop together and call that "frugal." Eat foie on a $200 a month food budget because you economized elsewhere is what I fuckin say.

Potassium counterbalances the buildup of lactic acid in muscle tissue that causes the sore/burning sensation/DOMS. It lessens my discomfort at work after working out strenuously. Lysine does assist either in helping prevent or lessen herpes simplex 1 outbreaks, better absorb calcium and lose less calcium in urine. Cold sores hurt and I have to interact with the public at work, I like avoiding them. Many women in my family have osteoporosis so I like to watch my calcium. Athletes are one of the groups that may be short in lysine and need to supplement it. I get where you're coming from and I do eat nutritiously, I love vegetables and they make up most of my diet. I'm irked by pseudoscience and get soooo tired of endless fitness supplement shills. Both of those have legit science behind them on top of being very effective in my experience. Sorry for the derail y'all.

Is it really so hard to buy a bag of tortillas? I buy the ones from the tortilla factory across town or the ones a grandma makes in the Mexican grocery store around the corner and keep them in my fridge. They last for months. I throw it on a griddle with a little spritz of oil and boom! Delicious tortillas.
