What are you Eating/Drinking?

[Lizard]

Many cultures have added great inventions to humanity throughout the ages. I don't know why Eastern cultures don't upgrade to the fork.

Upgrade? When you learn to use chopsticks it's easier I find, you have a hand spare whilst you don't with a knife and fork.


Although that's on my good days, on other days I get hand cramps and embarrass myself.

Chopsticks are fun.

I'm legitimately ambilevous (equally poor dexterity in both hands) but I was able to take up chopsticks pretty quickly a couple decades ago.* My daughter finally got the hang of them when she was 16-17 but my wife still has to band them with a rolled up napkin as a pivot.

*Edit: I can't snatch a fly out of the air or anything, but I won't starve.

You offend me.

You should not get offended so easily.

You telling me not to get offended offends me.

I ate a spicy Chinese soup tonight, it turned out to be too spicy and made me sick.

This is something I'm having difficulty coming to terms with. Presumably it's due to aging, but I used to eat spicy food all the time--chasing that serotonin/endorphin high, I suppose--but more often than not now it just ends up upsetting my stomach, and not being on an empty stomach when eating it may or may not help. It isn't indicative of ulcers in my case, fortunately, rather likely a change in gut biome. Of course it also depends on the source of the heat.

Nah there is nothing wrong with me, this was really spicy, hotter than any curry I have ever eaten.

Didn't help that it must have had at least a whole chilli in it.

I've tried the Carolina reaper and ghost pepper, eating both whole, and raw. Just painful. The only time I get a high from any pepper I've tried comes from a Lemon drop pepper. Those are freaking fantastic.

Lunch for today:

View attachment 743873 View attachment 743874

Yo where the hell is that?!!!!! I'd freaking go to Manila just to eat some chicken curry!!!

I just had some measly Sinigang for my lunch just a while ago

(It's supposed to have a lot more orange soup btw. I took the picture after eating)


To all of you who are reading this right now, I have a food-related question. How do you freeze eggs? I already had an egg frozen for about two hours in my freezer at the highest setting, yet when I broke it it's still a liquid (but much more viscous). I've already wasted around 5 eggs (not so wasted though since I used them to make scrambled eggs) just trying to freeze one . Anyone please help me I've been at it for three days now thanks in advance!

You aren't meant to freeze eggs.

 

[Alpha Cipher]

You aren't meant to freeze eggs.

But the recipe calls for it

 

[Alpha Cipher]

Well, I gave up on the frozen eggs. I made the leftover into a scrambled egg and just did another recipe for my snack time- a souffle omelette

I call it "The Two Faces of Egg"

 

[TB]

Chicken fried rice and orange chicken.

I use a ladle.

Yabu restaurant. It’s now a large franchise hence you can find it in pretty much in every large shopping mall you can think of.

I ate in a Japanese restaurant today, so definitely I can’t do it.

Still at Yabu restaurant?

 

[RCKakashi14]

Nope, today I ate at Tendon Kohaku.

 

[kikie]

Quiche, Moussaka and vanilla ice cream.

 

[photonrider]

Had a negroni, then another, and I'm now sucking up a 3-olive martini.
This means I'm in no condition to post at a florum. folum. frol

[Alpha Cipher]

I cooked some egg tempuras for lunch thanks to eran's advice on how to freeze eggs (don't mind the failure on the right the bread crumbs came apart)

 

[kikie]

I tried Natto for the first time, today. The store owner told me that it really taste like crap and it is a required taste. Well, eventhough I wasn't that keen on tasting Natto, but I did so anyway and surprisingly, I like it.

 

[TB]

Barely eaten anything the last 2 days so I'm going to make up for some of that in one meal.

hot wings are always a great choice to do that with.

 

[kikie]

A red bull would go well with hot wings. Afterall, red bull gives you wings.
