poo poo good question

red onion I think

it was long ago

i�m on the highest dose of the strongest statin, you can�t expect me to remember things from so long ago

do statins effect your memory

# ? Mar 1, 2024 06:51

echinopsis: Apr 13, 2004; by Fluffdaddy

there�s a bunch of anecdotal evidence

it�s tricky coz most people who take statins are at an age when memory is getting worse

and it�s largely subjective

my boss says statins gave her brain fog. when I asked what she meant, she said it�s not like day to say she felt less cognisant, but she reckons she wasn�t remembering things she thought she should. and stopping statins fixed this

and i�d say the same I think, it doesn�t make me feel less sharp (although I�d argue it�s almost impossible through self inquiry to determine if you�re normally sharper, outside of using memory to compare abilities), but I defo worry about my memory. it�s not good. i was asking person at work if she�d ever had her blood pressure taken and she said yeah you did it not so long ago. and last xmas break people had worked for us at work and then she came back this time around but I honest to god could not remember her from the year before

i don�t think this is normal for a 42yo lmao

ps if I get the dementia don�t let me live long. a tremendous financial and emotional burden on others. give me 20 tabs of acid and tell me there�s a party happening under the ocean

fart simpson posted:

my wife and i recently got back from a week long trip to yunnan province and took pictures of a lot of the food we ate. if anyone wants to know more about any of it just ask:

a river fish grilled over charcoal with a very spicy and somewhat sour sauce. very good.

9 out of 10 stars

a lunch at a jinuo minority village. starting from top left moving clockwise, that is a daikon radish soup, a fermented white flower stir fry that was quite sour and funky, deep fried potatoes, stir fried bamboo shoots, roasted chicken, some kind of pickled vegetable stir fry, grilled pork, and steamed sweet potatoes. with some locally grown puerh style tea from the village.

generally good but not spicy enough because they said most visitors they get dont like spicy food much so they cooked it down for us. 7 out of 10 stars.

some street food we got in jinghong city. starting from top left, clockwise: deep fried tofu with peanuts and vegetables, unripe sour papaya salad, and noodles with tomatoes and lemon. all of it was quite spicy and sour with a herbs and a similar sauce on all of them

8 out of 10 stars

similar grilled fish as the first one but done better. these fish were only 10 RMB each (like $1.50 usd).

9 out of 10 stars. one of my favorite things we tried

various grilled things. thats pork, beef, corn, mushrooms, tofu, etc. some of the spiciest chinese bbq ive ever had. very nice but a bit one note

8 out of 10 stars

hotel breakfast noodles with a fried egg. deep fried peanuts, pickled vegetables, spicy, and sour. good

7 out of 10 stars

unripe sour mango, chickens feet, dried mushrooms, and hawthorne fruits all in a spicy and sour sauce. the hawthorne and the mango were standouts to me. it was all very spicy and the sourness and sweetness of the fruits was excellent

8 out of 10 stars

braised lotus in an extremely savory sauce that was mildly spicy, with a spice that build up and burned the back of your throat. id eat it again

7 out of 10 stars

ground beef stir fried with mint, star anise, and chinese black cardamom. i liked this so much i looked up a recipe and made it at home as soon as we got back from out trip. this was excellent eaten with rice. everything green you see is mint.

10 out of 10 stars

some kind of tofu that was whipped up so it had the texture of meringue? ive never seen this before in my life and have absolutely no idea how they did it but it was pretty good and had a lot of msg in there. i'd eat it again

7 out of 10 stars

star of the show for me and my wife. fresh jackfruit stuffed with sticky rice that had been cooked in coconut milk, with shredded fresh and shredded toasted cocunut on top, with dried coconut cubes on the side. amazingly good dessert

11 out of 10 stars

clocwise from top: roasted and diced river fish meat with lemongrass, other herbs, and peppers. amazingly good and i ordered a second portion. grilled pork belly with a hot pepper rub. it was fine but not amazing. coconut milk cooked rice with toasted coconut and shredded coconut on top, this was pretty good too if you like coconut

10 out of 10 for the fish, 6 out of 10 for the pork belly, 7 out of 10 for the rice

beef skewers cooked rare (very odd for china! these are usually grilled until well done) with soy sauce and passion fruit pulp as dipping sauces. i liked the passion fruit with the rare beef. never had this before

8 out of 10 stars

crossing the bridge noodles. you get a pot of broth and all that stuff on the side (various mushrooms, meats, ham, vegetables, some herbs, etc) and dump it into the broth. then you add the rice noodles, stir, and eat. always a winner but the standout in yunnan specifically is all the mushrooms you dont get other places. unfortunately this was not mushroom season so the mushroom selection was more limited but still good

8 out of 10 stars

white flowers from some local trees stir fried with the normal stuff. scallions, peppers, etc. it was fine.

7 our of 10 stars

the fanciest potato chips ive ever had. each potato chip had some fruit salad (mostly apples and mayo i think) and then a piece of crispy peking duck style duck skin. thats sweet bean paste in the middle of the plate, and the duck legs were there for eating too. supremely good

10 out of 10 stars

the crossing the bridge noodles after adding chili oil, with the duck chips, and the rest of the duck that didnt make it onto the chips stir fried with chile oil. all good

the rest of the duck is the only part i havent rated so far and i'd give it a 9 out of 10

some halal chinese bbq from a msulim district in kunming. more of what was seen before but this time no pork. the beef was excellent tho

8 out of 10 stars

rice rolls with rice noodles, tons of herbs, peanuts, and pork cracklings inside. also very spicy and nice. the cracklings stole the show

8 out of 10 stars

yunnan loves its mint. this was breakfast from a popular place near our hotel in jinghong city. rice noodles again although theyre hiding and you can see everything else

9 out of 10 stars

a wild banana we picked in the rainforest. tasted about the same as a normal banana but had way too many inedible black seeds

5 out of 10 stars. stick to normal bananas imo

an alcohol distilled from pine nuts. tastes basically like cheap baijiu

i like baiju but this was just ok. 6 out of 10

a different type of river fish, with a spicy and sour sauce, a sesame paste sauce, deep fried peanuts, dried mushrooms, cilantro, and rice noodles. you ate it by packing all that up in raw lettuce leaves. i really liked this.

9 out of 10 stars

raw crab claws marinated in a sour marinade with scotch whisky in the marinade. the meat of the claws was totally soft and like jelly and i loved it and couldnt eat enough

10 out of 10 stars

braised pork arteries. very savory and mildly spicy. i liked it

8 out of 10 stars

deep fried tofu with pepper powder. pretty standard chinese street snack stuff but well done

8 out of 10 stars

charcoal roasted chicken with dried peppers. the chicken had obviously been brined and it was cooked perfectly. i loved it

10 out of 10 stars

'Proper' food post: Saw this on Insta a bit back, thought 'That looks fun'

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2yRcY4ydUJ/

Made this evening and yep, really good. Didn't put the cheese or sausage in mine, and it was a little less structurally sound than the one in the video (I used 4 medium eggs, think I might need a little more) and a pack of the Hot Chicken Buldak noodles.

Just need to buy a jar of the seaweed flake seasoning they pour on at the end of the video now.

Did this again, the cheese I wasn't sold on the idea but decided to give it a try, and yeah it really does add to the whole dish.

Also a tub of Furikake from Amazon arrived and a light dash of it on the top finishes the plate off perfectly.
