Frozen spinaches haven’t gotten a lot of attention in this thread yet!
Depends on how poor is poor and the cooking budget, but they stay good for a long time and you can add a bit to basically any dish: omelette, rice and beans, tomato pasta. Tasty, simple and flexible
An Italian home cooking staple is pasta with butter and sage. Just melt the butter with the sage and gently fry while boiling the pasta
Thanks for sharing your story. I’m glad is going better now, and wish you luck for the next pay bump too! (God, what a horrible system, having to bet on joining the military… sorry you had to go through that)
Part of the reason to soak is for them to release sone long proteins that are hard to digest. You can achieve the same result by carefully removing the foam they produce at the beginning of the cooking (or replace the water completely after 10-15 minutes of boiling)
That feels quite sad, honestly… I wish you all to find fulfillment and happiness without the need for sugar supplements
I wonder: was it a sign of respect towards the uncle or was it an insult? Or neither, just cool?
I have some national pride, usually about small things that I know my country cares overly much about and some cultural quirks I care about (how to serve coffee, the structure of a conversation, obscure literary references and so on).
I have some patriotism, as in: I want my country to be the best version of itself it can be. Keeping the good parts (not many) and evolving the rest.
Then, I am very cynical, so the little patriotism is submerge by a distant distaste and expectation of everything to fuck up.

Scale it considering that a president is appointed for 4 years, a monarch for life. Overall, I don’t find it weird that people need time to mourn when their political system gets a good shake…
But Queen Elizabeth was not “former” queen. What would happen if a President would die (of natural causes) on the job?
As others have said, I find it more common when I am traveling short term than when I move from a place to another.
I think part of it is that moving has a strong emotional impact, so I am unlikely to forget about that in my wake time. But my dreams are often set in my hometown, where I haven’t lived in almost 20 years… the brain is weird!
Popcorns don’t need an air popper: a pot with a lid and some oil+salt.
Warning: you need to keep the pot at a high temperature for quite a while, so avoid using non-stick pans because they are going to die quickly.
