amazing how often you can reduce the sugar in dessert recipes by 25-50% without negatively affecting the end product. i just do it by default now. today i made carrot cake muffins and ended up halving the sugar called for by the recipe, and the end result still tastes sweet and dessert-y.

This cake has significantly improved my life for the better. Always use greek yogurt in your chocolate cake base. ate like a 1/2 cup worth of cake and now im dead forever . but worth it.

Always a good time when your mom sends you a video talking about symptoms of a disorder and you check all the fucking boxes and now all you can do is ruminate while the sensory issues rejoice for another reason to starve yourself for no reason has arrived!

I'm honestly so tired, there is so much misinformation about diet and fitness out there... I'm just trying to find something that works for me and my needs but digging through the metric tons of bullshit is just exhausting.

Was giving everything in the vegetable a fertilized drink this morning and admired how big and thick the pods on the fava bean plants were getting.

And later that afternoon it occurred to me that people do typically harvest them before the pods turn brown and dry up so maybe I ought to look up how to tell when they're ready? Sue me, this is only my second attempt at growing them and the first attempt was a failure.

So lookee what I got:

There's a lot more pods left, but they weren't "ready". I think this was about nine pods total.

I know favas take a bit of work to extract the bits you eat, so I looked that up too. First part was stringing and splitting the pods to extract the beans:

The next was blanching in boiling water for a minute or two then plunging them in cold water to loosen the seed coats, then peeling those off:

That leaves you with the vibrant green inner bits, which you can then cook and eat.

I ended up with about a third of a cup of beans. It would be enough for one side serving, but I'm going to stretch it by tossing them into a garlic parmesan risotto instead since I have all the ingredients for it.

I figure if I don't end up liking fava beans then I can pick them out of the risotto, give them to the chickens, and let the rest of the pods go to seed for either swapping or cover cropping. I'll need to let some go to seed anyway even if I do like them to have some for next year.

why does everything have so much sugar in it. why does everything have to be so fucking sweet. where is the flavor. i would like to be able to taste the flavor. did you actually put any flavor in this or did you just put more fucking sugar
