ah, makes sense. i was just curious.

Lol. I feel like someone asks that every other month. XD

well this time it was me. heh.

Derpy waves his paw in the air. "Ooh ooh! Can I ask next pwease?"

aww, Derpy, you're adorable. i smiled at your post, honestly! :D

i mean, if you say so. it's just frustrating because i need to get things ready and i didn't want to deprive my friend the experience but *that specific purrson* is not a good moderator or server owner in the first place.

Of course it's frustrating. If it was easy it wouldn't be as special. The fact that you're persisting and pushing through to do something good for someone else is noble.

I ate some cold, weird, dairy-less, blueberry and apple oatmeal today for breakfast. :/ Supposedly full of protein and fiber, with no sugars and all natural ingredients. e_e; I think I still have to get used to the taste of healthier foods, because though I'm satisfied for now, (I was pretty hungry and could eat a whole Denny's breakfast!) O-O; I had to tell myself to keep eating it, because it looked like paper mache.

<x'} Sh*t, I should document all the healthy, vegan-friendly stuff I eat, because it's like eating alien food! It's not bad, but not always appetizing either. \B
I think that in a culture where food is literally engineered to smell and taste good, and made to be addicting for corporate profit, :/ I am literally very unfamiliar with the taste of ACTUAL food. I hadn't even started to eat different kinds of beans since a few years after high school! <X/

Ermagerd I just had the most delicious food for lunch (channa masala and daal makhani)! I need to learn more authentic curry recipes to make at home. Yum!

Oatmeal has never been satiating for me, mostly due to the high carbs. I personally stick to other things.

But give your tastebuds time to adjust. It can take a couple of weeks to adapt to flavors.

Where did you get that? Because the claim of "no sugars" is incompatible with the claim of "all-natural ingredients" -- the only way to remove the sugar from fruit is through chemical processing, at which point claiming that it's "all-natural" is dubious at best.

It was called Mush, or Mash or something? /:} Mush!
I found a pic. e_e; Kinda looks like tuna, but they're oats! o_o; I swear!


Oh. I'm lookin' at the Nutritional Facts. o_o
Nevermind, there are sugars. <x'} Also fats. :/ But eh, I think I need it actually.

They probably meant "no sugar added" meaning they're relying on the fruit to provide the sweetness on its own instead of adding more. "No sugar added" is... good in theory, but you have to read the label to be sure it's actually meaningful, because sugar is... y'know... sweet. It's entirely possible that the ingredients they used to replace the flavor in the food could be worse for you than just putting in some honey or some cane sugar. Probably not the case here given that you said it was a little bland compared to the usual stuff, but it's not unusual for manufacturers to fix the flavor by adding in more salt or more fat or loading in enough fruit to bring the sugar content up anyway.

Can you tell that the "health" food market has made me exceptionally cynical? There's so much BS flying around in the name of being "good" for you that's really just uncertifiable marketing wank that lets them charge more money for it but that doesn't actually do anything for you. ("Natural" doesn't have a legally defined meaning so you're allowed to put it on anything! "Organic" methods aren't sustainable because they require more land and more labor to produce the same amount of food! All food crops have been genetically modified by humans whether they're lab-manufactured GMOs or not!)

I've been wanting to experiment with a moka pot, and we used to have the one that belonged to my grandfather, but I'm thinking my mother must have thrown it out.

percival is on his period.

percival also had to turn anonymous asks off on his rp blog because people were bitching.
