I don't normally spruik recipe books, well, except Larousse Gastronomique - if you don't own it, buy it, or offer "favours" to get it, it's vital - but I'm feeling the urge with RecipeTin Eat's cookbook.
My ex bought it for me, and I've used it a fair bit of late. Stuff that I already know how to cook checks out, and the stuff I've cooked out of it has turned out great https://www.recipetineats.com/cookbook/
Plus, Nagi is Aussie, and I like supporting local cookbook authors #Cooking
@sortius ah, you’ve discovered The Bible. Her stuff is excellent, especially the substitution tips. The only complaint is I always have to dramatically reduce the amount of salt used
@sortius I don't bake desserts often but when I do - tend to reduce sugar in recipes by half or more. Otherwise it's way too sweet for me to enjoy. I don't like sugar very much.
What you're doing here is truly sickening. You're trying to convince people who care about Palestinians to cause terrible harm to Palestinians, by electing Trump.
You're supporting a party that claims "there are very few innocent Palestinian citizens," and supports vaporizing all 2 million people in Gaza "like Hiroshima and Nagasaki."
A crop that could save 250k-500k children in the global south, and because it's openly GM, unlike all the rice, wheat, and barley, varieties that are available in the global north (Calrose, Amaroo, etc), Greenpeace are opposed to it.
@santiago@mos_8502 yeh, if you read why they did it, there's just no market for them to comercialise it in the global north as they don't have Vitamin A deficiencies, and I'm guessing trying to commercialise it in the global south would give them less (tax) benefit than using it for humanitarian uses.
@sortius@mos_8502 I read that it is not a viable product in rich countries today. Just on the long term I think governments should have assurances a corporation will not change its mind once everyone is dependent and start charging emerging countries.
If it’s truly humanitarian governments should nationalize these (supposedly commercially worthless) patents. I just can’t believe a large corporation can do anything with “no plans”. We’ll see in 20 years…
I'm seeing a lot of people fundamentally misunderstanding the difference between the ICC and the ICJ. Mixing the two up is the first tell-tale sign you should not be commenting on the ICC prosecutor's applications for arrest warrants
Aaah, great, Biden, so hell bent on facilitating genocide, has now attacked the ICC, and, by doing so, legitimised Hamas' 7th of October attack.
By dismissing the charges of the ICC's prosecutors, Biden has made clear that the ICC is wrong in all counts, and that both Netanyahu, and Yahya Sinwar, are off the hook.
I'm not sure that should sit well with Zionists, or anti-genocide groups, but that's what Biden has done.
@sortius I think we will be witnessing more horrors in both Palestine & USA - over next few months - up to next US election. At this point - especially after ICC prosecutor announced arrest warrants for HAMAS leader & Netanyahu - the global community is now fully lumping US with Israel(for valid reasons) & that's not going to help Biden. Someone should have told him that this decision is another in a series of piss poor decisions & it will hurt him & entire DNC. Domestically & internationally.
@msquebanh yeh, I grew up with the two Bush Presidents invading Iraq, Obama was a breath of fresh air until he started justifying his drone strikes on weddings.
At that point I knew the American experiment was finished, or maybe it never even started.
As much as I think there's a large portion of Americans who are decent people, their political options are limited, and their governmental and electoral systems are designed to disenfranchise them at every turn
Why are they acting surprised that Labor is backing gas? Labor is a party funded by fossil fuel companies, and bolstered by the MEU, once part of the CFMEU.
No one can be so naive to actually think Labor would take real steps against climate change, right? Look what the unions did to the last Labor PM that actually did #auspol
Well, RFK Jr's brain worm is at least a high profile case that will maybe give people pause about their food hygiene.
It's something that I harp on about with the kids: the two most dangerous foods in the house are pork and chicken. Pork for the porcine tapeworms, and chicken for the salmonella.
Both my kids know that on a stove (not sous vide!) you get pork to 64°C and chicken to 74°C
@sortius chicken is only really dangerous in the USA where salmonella infections are endemic in their poultry population, it’s generally not an issue elsewhere as long as you take the normal food handling precautions.
Equality Australia, who were mostly behind the successful Marriage Equality Plebiscite campaign, have a petition up about Cumberland Council in Sydney importing American book bans to the local library.
I don't normally ask people to sign petitions, but if you're in Australia, we need to end this practice before it begins, so, please do sign.
