#best american food

[look-at-the-stars-tonight]

the amount of effort that goes into figuring out what to cook and eat every day is RIDICULOUS. i used to think people were so weird and boring for eating the same thing every single day but it truly does make life so much easier

I don't have twitter and I've never drawn a Miku before in my life, but I adore that trend happening rn and wanna drop down my two cents, so let's go with the research to make a Hatsune Miku: but she is from my family (hard to explain, but it's absolutely Texan)

don’t cry. almost 9 billion green tomatoes season soon. life could be a dream

[astranauticus]

the rwd season 4 qna inspired me to start thinking about college au headcanons except a lot of these are gonna be really specific to my school and y'all are just gonna have to deal with that <3

Kyana feeds some of the school cats. she would feed all of them if she could

Dani smuggled Plug (the scrawniest black cat you've ever seen) into her dorm room illegally and somehow management hasn't caught her yet (based on a true story) (Kyana visits to see Plug all the time)

Finbar keeps an updated tier list of every canteen in the school with breakdowns of the best stalls/dishes for each

A senior from the school of engineering once said to me 'all the engineering people dress like rats cuz our classrooms don't have aircon' (context: tropics) anyway that's Dani

Kyana would probably be involved in a lot of freshman orientation events from second year onwards. she just likes talking to the new kids and giving them advice like she would be the kind of orientation group leader who'd get messages from her freshies asking about all kinds of random nonsense because she's made sure they know they can always contact her with questions

VR-LA is The Guy you go to for textbook pirating resources

(this is more of a 'wouldn't that be funny' but VR-LA is just Veerle's discord handle)

Docent is the name of VR-LA's old laptop that broke down so he gave it to Cassimere (computer engineering major he met once at a networking event) to fix except Cassimere got everything off the hard drive and then somehow managed to fuck it up Even More so he had to get a new laptop (and named it Emi)

Roy has gotten food poisoning from his dorm meal plan at least once (based on at least one true story)

The heap trio + Mandy would be those friends constantly playing majong in the dorm lounge and if all the majong tables are taken they just play in one of their dorm rooms on a towel to dampen the tile shuffling noises (it was Mandy's idea)

Every morning Dani goes to the drinks stall at her faculty and orders one iced coffee to the point where the stall owner starts preparing an iced coffee whenever they see her approach (based on my true story)

Roy would be one of those people who goes clubbing every other week and every time he tries to drag the rest of the heap trio and Egan almost always goes and Dani would go if she didn't have a good excuse but always begrudgingly. anyway Roy would always be the only one having a good time until Egan gets drunk enough to start having fun

Finbar actually uses the dorm kitchens instead of just buying canteen food and it always makes the hallways smell really good

Vhas also uses the dorm kitchen sometimes but like. one time i walked into the pantry on my floor and someone had left cut sweet potatoes and 2 eggs in an inch of water in a pan on the stove. that's Vhas

Kyana's constantly applying for overseas exchanges and international summer/winter school programmes. the world is large and she wants to see it!

Maxim's the definition of a hall phantom. you know he lives on your dorm floor because you pass him by in the hallways sometimes and literally nowhere else. sometimes you're not convinced that he actually exists

VR-LA and Maxim's friendship stems from them being from wildly different faculties (VR-LA's in STEM, Maxim's doing anthropology so arts/social sciences) but also having lots of weird interests they cant really bug anyone in their home faculties about

Elyse is in student government and every once in a while Finbar receives a series of angry texts about the newest idiocy she's had to put up with

MR-SN and AS-TR start a stargazing club together. other notable members include AS-TR's girlfriend E-DN, MR-SN's friend C-RA (the one who always volunteers to carry the heavy ass telescopes) and MR-SN's friend K-LB who he pestered into coming to fix one of the wonky scopes even though K-LB's actually in electrical engineering but he's the only engineering person MR-SN (an arts student) knows

oh and of course VR-LA joins because he genuinely just likes space (developing a crush on his club chairperson was not on his bingo card)

Kyana and E-DN were MMA sparring buddies at one point which is how she found out about the stargazing and joined immediately

honestly i can probably think of more but this post is fuckin long LMAO

[awholefuckinglifetimeofthis]

people on Instagram are saying that avocado toast with shrimp is a weird thing to have for breakfast. do americans really just eat eggs and bacon or cereal every single day?

why do i miss a home that is unrecognizable to me now, how did i become a stranger to the place a grew up

[mensfrightsactivist]

okay so i told my coworkers i went and checked out the local winter pow wow over the weekend and like half of them didn’t even know what that is?? and the rest were like “but you’re white is that allowed?” so:

The problem with USAmerican recipes is that most of them call for ingredients that don't exist outside of the US and/or ready mixes. If I wanted to use a ready mix I would read the instructions on the box. Ergo functionally useless to me.

The problem with Brazilian recipes is that most of them are written as if they are just reminding you of how to make something you already know how to make. As such, information like how long to bake something, or what temperature the oven should be on, high or low fire on the stove, or even on occasion what kind of spoon (table or teaspoon) to use is deemed extraneous. Which is also functionally useless.

I end up using the Brazilian recipes while checking English-language ones for baking time/temp and verifying spoon sizes. And also just a healthy dollop of doing whatever the hell I want anyway, because in the end I am Brazilian after all.

Its definitely an American thing - or at least, we don't toast marshmallows in the UK- so it makes sense GBBO would botch it. We definitely have "traditional messy" foods here but I think without the tradition it seems wrong if the thing you've cooked is messy and difficult to eat, so I can understand why Paul "i don't understand Tacos" Hollywood would freak out at the idea of a goopy marshmallow

You really should try toasted marshmallows if you get the chance! Best way is over an open flame, do NOT microwave it! Yes they will be puffy and taste gooey, but you'll miss out on crispy edges and the whole mallow will turn to cardboard once it cools if you do it in the microwave.

It makes sense that the technical on TGBBS relies on being "neat as a pin" but they should have chosen a snack that isn't characterized on being messy hahah!

[lepetitfruit]

Hey does anyone have breakfast/lunch food suggestions? I've been stuck in a horrible loop of the same thing every day for WEEKS

I stopped believing in God when I was seven. Don’t know what’s wrong with the rest of y’all.

A fun thing about Southern California is that Obon has Elvises.

I do love meat but I cannot stand dishes where the point is a slab of meat. Why would I eat straight up steak or pork loin where are all the other ingredients. shit is so boring

[supercantaloupe]

unsurprisingly getting out of the house for the first time since thursday is good for your brain and body
