Nah, I've been here for years. Came here via the Overchan. Not sure if that site even still exists.

I like Die Antwoord too, but they're sugar music. Sometimes you need dem complex carbohydrates of a more serious artist.

I like Die Antwoord, mainly because I like the phonology of Germanic languages.

You live in Seoul but you're not a Seouldier?

I know, I've told my roommates that. But the heat from the fire doesn't reach my room so I pay for electric heat. The wood stove isn't my responsibility usually but there is no one home tonight and I don't want to wake up tomorrow and discover that my toilet is frozen so I'm keeping a sharp eye.

First off, congratulations. Welcome to the singed eyebrow club.

Secondly, for the love of all that is holy, keep some dry kindling in the house, in a box, near the stove. That way, you always have sure dry wood to start the next fire with. After you have a bed of coals going, you can put in wet wood, and it will go.

I was trying to light a fire in the wood stove, just to keep the pipes from freezing. The wood was wet and I started to lose my patience so I figured there must be something flammable around here. Found some gasoline in the garage. Tossed it into the stove and nothing happened, then three seconds later it went boom. Fireball. I'm not hurt or anything but my hair smells like burnt popcorn right now.

tl;dr, don't play with fire when you've been drinking.

I assumed he was using hyperbole, but it DOES disturb me how poorly a lot of people eat. I'm not talking about poor people who can't afford to eat well either; as for the aforementioned Froot Loops, shitty breakfast cereal such as that is one of the few things keeping a lot of North Americans going because it may be a lot of starch and sugar but at least it's fortified a little. That is to say, empty calories plus a few vitamins is better than mere empty calories with nothing added, which is what idiots would be subsisting off of otherwise. You can live pretty well on a careful food budget, it's cheaper than living off of junk (exceptions to this are people who live in really remote places where not much grows, and fresh ingredients are scarce... quality food is very expensive in some parts of Canada for instance). It just takes time and a little planning. How many of the same people who buy Pizza Pockets, etc because they "don't have time to cook" manage to find time to spend two hours a day glued to youtube or playing with their facebook?

While we're on the topic of food in general, do any of you keep gardens? I live on a registered farm but it's small and all the planting and stuff was done before I moved in last summer so I didn't have much hand in any of that and it's not a topic I'm an expert on or anything. I kept a garden at my dad's place years ago but it didn't fare too well. But as for this place, there's kale, beets, lettuce, carrots, garlic, that sort of thing. Potatoes failed hard this year for some reason or other. Oh and there are 5 or 6 hens for eggs plus a noisy rooster, I was posting about them in another thread a few days ago. And honeybees too. Some of the vegetables get sold at a farmers market during the season but the only really profitable thing that was grown here this year wasn't food, it was... pretty flowers. Well actually you can eat some of those too, and some of them are tasty :3

Here's a pic from uh, maybe August or September? The field is covered in a foot of snow now though... it's a very different place here in February.

"you've had more nutrition in a single meal than some people have in several days". THIS is what i'm calling bullshit on.

Not "more nutrition than most peoples breakfasts" but "more nutrition than they get, period, in several days".

Ok, sure, there are some people who do nothing but eat out of McDonalds, i'll grant you, but that's pretty fucking rare.

]]> http://www.megachan.net/disc/res/4320.html#4372 > I'd really doubt your argument on how much nutrition this has. Banana. A few strawberries, milk. It's fruit, it has a lot of sugar, and a few vitamins.

The strawberries have C, the bananas have potassium, the milk has A, D and calcium. Add a bowl of granola or other decently healthy cereal and you've got decent fiber at the very least. Now compare that to someone who has just a bowl of Froot Loops, gets an Egg McMuffin and coffee at Mickey Dee's, or even skips breakfast altogether (my God, how could you!?), and eats similarly well for other meals in the day, and I stand by my statement.

But yes, it's delicious. Get some good protein powder and toss it in and you've got a one stop meal.

I have a bunch of frozen strawberries, cherries, and raspberries in the freezer...that i froze myself. Stock up on fresh fruit when it's cheep, slice it, layer it between wax paper on a cookie sheet, stick in freezer, separate and bag.

Yes! Frozen strawberries are perfect for smoothies (really any kind of frozen fruit, because I don't make 100 smoothies a week so buying a load of fresh fruit is rather expensive). A bit of spinach is always good in smoothies too.

Really it's canned fruit I would turn my nose up at, the syrup it gets suspended in makes everything over-sweet.

> Frozen fruit instead of fresh? A mortal sin

There isn't a fresh strawberry within 1000 miles of me so if I wanted one right now, it'd have to be frozen :p I did find some wild ones growing a few summers ago but it's anything but summer here at the moment. Actually the thought of eating frozen anything makes me shudder right now.

If you find any recipe on the internet telling you to make smoothies using ice, you tell it to screw off. Go to the store and get frozen strawberries - Costco sells big bags of 'em for a fair price. What? Frozen fruit instead of fresh? A mortal sin, yes, but since the frozen strawberries will be what makes the drink super cold, you don't need to add ice and water it down. While you're at the store, get bananas, and maybe other fresh or frozen berries if you'd like to add them to the smoothie as well.

Now when you want some smoothie action, you toss four or five frozen strawberries, a banana, and maybe other berries in a blender, top it off with milk (not water!), and blend that sheezy until smooth. You'll probably have to pulse the blender a bit at first to break up the strawberries. If it turns out too thick, blend in a little more milk. Bam, a full-flavored smoothie. In the mornings, if you drink one of those along with a bowl of granola and yogurt or something, you've had more nutrition in a single meal than some people have in several days. Hells yes.
