@TheBreadmonkey Tried to make this point to an older friend the other day about how 'what we are having for dinner' has become a system bomb for our cognition and he completely misunderstood and made recipe suggestions.

Just remember to pierce the onions. Or they'll explode. Like allium grenades.

@TheBreadmonkey
Think it's having to do all that stuff that keeps me sane to be honest. If I didn't I would certainly just sit and rot!

@TheBreadmonkey late to the party, but roast onions are delicious - wrap in foil, chuck in the oven at 180°C for 45 mins or so. Simple!

@TheBreadmonkey @bruce Tony Abbott approves of your dinner plans, and says you don’t even have to cook or peel the onion

@TheBreadmonkey Only one of these can be gotten out of as a daily task, as far as I know, and that means setting aside several hours each weekend to do all the cooking then. (And also you have to be okay with potentially eating the same things for quite a while. Also you need a really big freezer.)

@TheBreadmonkey
is it keto?

@TheBreadmonkey I feel this in my bones. The constant maintenance is exhausting

@TheBreadmonkey I cooked lasagna

@TheBreadmonkey going to the baths once a month, making it a whole spa day, get back all those hours doing the same monotonous shower routine. This is a win-win.

@TheBreadmonkey this is one of my favorite threads ever start to finish. 10/10 would read again.

@TheBreadmonkey as a person with crohn's that both fascinates and terrifies me.

@TheBreadmonkey for hundreds of millions of years, toothed vertebrates replaced thier teeth regularly all through their lives. And that's what most fish, and all non-avian reptiles still do today. Highly sensible. And (crown clade) birds don't even have teeth. Either approach solves the problem beautifully. But somewhere in our evolutionary tree, early mammals fucked it up, and now most mammals only get two sets of teeth, and that's it.
