DEATH TO AMERICA
:xickos:

Potato and sweet potato are super common, but I don't know if they're new or regional because my hot pot history only goes back about 5 years and is mostly restricted to south China.

When my cousin's Japanese boyfriend's mom prepared it for us, our individual bowls just had a raw, beaten egg to dip the cooked items in. That was the most different I ever saw it.

Pissing firey blood will turn anyone into a raging rear end in a top hat. LADIES, ALWAYS PEE AFTER SEX. And dino, I guess? Male UTI's aren't common.

In other news, I accidentally fed a vegan non vegan fudge. I don't think I'll tell him.

The thinly sliced meats are probably my least favorite of the things I like at hotpot. You put them in, you take them out, you go "I could have grilled this." Now, tofu skin, tripe, those little knots of seaweed, balls, pork belly, pork skin, mushrooms -- basically anything that absorbs the broth AND gets better after multiple minutes simmering in it? That's the goods stuff. My favorite part of hotpot is digging around for stuff I forgot and finding a totally transformed chunk of tripe or whatever.

Dudes should pee after giving anal to help avoid an UTI. Also, don't mix holes after if applicable!

Part of the fun of hot pot/shabu shabu is how the broth evolves as you add things, too. Put the tendons, tripe, long cooking things in first and they trade flavors with the broth. Add some seafood and it changes again. Yes vegetables change it, too.

fart simpson posted:



does anyone actually think this would be bland with vegetables?

considering chongqing hot pot's base stock is a meat stock, yeah I think it would taste kind of hollow. Like a vegan chili would or a vegan pot au feu. Like I said, I'm sure in the context it tasted good, but as someone who chooses not to limit myself to veg only it just doesn't make me wet to think about.

edit: also I never said meat only idk why everyone is assuming I'm only talking about the thin slivers. The three things I mentioned: a fermented fish paste, fish meatballs, and tendons, are not the thin slivers of meat.

I would actually be really curious to hear how this comes out. I do almost exclusively super-long-rise leave-it-on-the-counter-overnight-that's-fine type dough, but I also have never made challah. The only enriched dough I'm familiar with is cinnamon roll dough and I've let that rise overnight, and it came out amazing.

Challah can't really be made as a no-knead recipe. You need the gluten to be able to braid it.

The first loaf I made was horrible. It tastes yeasty. I didn't make the sopa de ajo with it like I had planned because it would be a waste of good garlic. I'm still going to make it, but with different bread.

Pee after foreplay too, I guess? I fell asleep before things got anywhere one night, and the next day or so after, it was like spiky daggers with extra blades on were scraping up and down my urethra every time I had to pee. It doesn't help that I like to drink water, so having to repeat that ritual every half hour to an hour was even worse. That pain is horrible. And the bonus is that it would hurt even when I wasn't peeing. So like, constant pain punctuated with burning searing pain isn't a thing I'm looking to repeat. And the drat meds weren't doing it, and peeing a lot wasn't clearing it, and cranberry juice only gets you so far. And the great side effect bonus of it all is that it screws with your mental abilities too, so I managed to burn my forearm while reaching over a pot of rice.



And then, while trying to catch a falling pot with said forearm, the burn burst open. Fortunately the pot was empty, or I'd have had to throw out whatever it is I was eating.

Also, I've only gotten one call back from the resumes that I've sent out to jobs. And it wants to pay me $12 an hour. Part time. For 18 hours a week. And I haven't had a job since January. And my bank account is running on fumes. And Puppy isn't working, because school. Philly was the one bright spot in what's been a rather lovely month. Seriously, seeing the Charmmis and the Gourds really kept me from wanting to do something drastic, like packing my bags, and moving in with my mom in Arizona.

Seriously. Sorry, Gravi.

My no-knead recipes are very glutenful. (Gluteny?) I'm not 100% sure on the science here but I'm pretty sure the action of the dough rising creates the gluten for you. Sad about your loaf, though. Makes me think I probably would make a lot of crappy challah before successfully baking tasty challah.

Maybe I'm using the wrong word.

I mean that with a no-knead, the dough isn't tough enough to be cut into strands and twisted into a braid. Every time I've made one, it was soft, fluffy, and sticky. That's the goal, of course, but I've never been able to shape it into anything but a boule.
