If you want to "eat healthy", you have to add things, not subtract. add fruits of some kind--maybe you won't eat as much candy, maybe you will, but you don't have to bin your chocolate to add some dried cherries or canned peaches to your life. add some veggies fried in butter/bacon fat and seasoned salt--you'll still get salts and fats and pleasing textures, but you will also be eating vegetables. make a stew!!! chuck veggies, meat, barley, and a jar of gravy in a crockpot, and make a nice stew!!!

and do not scorn the humble loaf of bread and pot of rice. grains, starches, carbohydrates, you NEED THESE THINGS. instead of cutting them out, add something else.

Variety will make you healthy. Not restriction.

So just promise me you'll eat something today? Anything at all. Don't worry about what it is, please. Just eat something, and keep it in your stomach. I want you to be okay. I want you to live.

diet talk is so inexpressibly nonsensical the instant you know anything about "the human body" or "nutrition" or if you think about it for three seconds

FEAST

[just-eat-something]

I totally forgot that eating a meal can improve your mood dramatically. I was depressed a minute ago but now I'm literally having a good time. what a concept

[just-eat-something]

but on the real though, here is your guide to assyrian rice preparation from your friendly neighborhood assyrian:

start wanting rice. (or, if you are traditional, simply recognize your constant desire for rice.)

measure out two cups of rice. then one more. then two more. then another. this seems fine. you love rice. there is no way that this will backfire on you.

remember that your great-great-uncle’s recipe says it should be soaked overnight.

become consumed with despair.

decide to soak it for half an hour instead, acknowledging that the final product will be inferior and anger your ancestors but will still satisfy your now almost-overwhelming need for rice to be inside your body much faster.

remember that you should have set the water to boil when you soaked the rice. goddammit. 

once the water boils, put the rice in until it is half-cooked. the eyeballing or intuitive method is less effective than a timer but that’s how your aunt does it so you feel compelled to meet her standards.

now that the rice has fluffed up, realize how much rice six dry cups really is. holy shit. you’ve fucked up immeasurably. 

take a minute to dwell upon your failings.

grease a baking dish with butter. this will never be as elegant as you want it to and your fingers will get greasy, but the slightly shameful, self-indulgent joy of licking your fingers afterwards will make up for it.

pour the rice into the dish. wonder immediately if you actually buttered the dish beforehand and if you’ve just fucked up. 

melt approximately one thousand pounds of butter in the microwave and pour it over the rice, pondering your imminent death from rapid-onset arterial clogging. put a small pat of butter on the top to properly gild the lily.

put your pan into the oven, which you have absolutely preheated after your previous lack of foresight. shake the rice once or twice while it bakes to make sure the butter is well distributed. resist the impulse to climb into the oven with the rice. for the last ten minutes, sit next to the oven and count the seconds until it’s done.

remove the dish from the oven. shed a tear or two at the perfection laid before you. if you are dining with others, this is the time to serve the rice while making passive-aggressive statements about how oh no, you don’t need any help, you just made dinner all by yourself, you can serve everyone as well. (this is still fun if done alone, but optional.)

CONSUME THE RICE.

realize that you have eaten half of the dish in one sitting. no matter how much rice you made, this will always happen. 

put the leftovers away, if there are any, and enjoy a cup of chai while marveling at the amount of food you have just eaten. if possible, fall asleep in an armchair, sitting up, head tilted slightly back, like a grandpa.

for the rest of the evening, think fondly of how much rice you have in the fridge now and how many meals it will supplement, refusing to acknowledge that you will almost certainly eat the rest of it in a few hours for a midnight meal.

ID: the phrase “I love you. I want us both to eat well” scribbled on a ceramic spoon. the spoon color is a natural beige with dark brown flecks on it, the letters are in black. there’s other two spoons showing only slightly on the edges of the image; a dark green one, and another beige one with “I love you” written on the top. End ID.

Food doesn't want to hurt you. Food wants you to live.
