Perhaps a bit of a tangent: I'm pegnant and have been craving something all day but couldn't work out what I wanted. I tried pico de gallo, bacon, mango. No luck. Eventually I realised: it was tap water with ice. That's all I've wanted all day

tbf this is common behavior for me and i'm not pegnant
Is there a hydrohomies here?
Yes. I've definitely seen it, but don't remember which instance it's on.
Gonna be honest, I still don't know how instances even work
An "instance" is a techie way of saying it's a copy of that thing
(disclaimer: I'm not a lemmy expert, just techie.)
A Lemmy instance is just the server where accounts and set of communities lives. e.g, Lemmy.world or Lemmy.ml, etc. Each instance can "federate" content from other instances, which is a way of publishing content to servers you otherwise wouldn't see. You can see content and communities from other instances as well as comment on those other instances even though you don't have an account on each one.

You could subscribe to all three, or just the one on your home instance, or whatever.
Thanks, that was a really clear ELI5
Stuffing.
Every Thanksgiving I eat stuffing and remember:
- This stuff is great
- There is nothing stopping me from making this year round
and then i immediately forget
I love other people's stuffing. I made stuffing and gave myself food poisoning.
By putting it inside a turkey or just somehow with stuffing?
Yeah, I put it inside the turkey. I used a friend's recipe, but it must have been a bigger bird and took too long to cook or something.
Okay, I just Googled it:
When you place stuffing inside a turkey, it comes into contact with raw meat and juices that may contain harmful bacteria such as salmonella.
Yeah, it's fallen out of fashion because if you leave it there overnight especially bacteria can grow in it. Well, sorry to hear that. I like making homemade stuffing but I just bake it in a pan... i guess that's called dressing.
Try microwaving it on high for several minutes (until it's basically too hot to handle) before stuffing the bird.
It also helps if you don't pack it in. It should get to 165°F to be considered safe.
Pick up a box on sale and put it in the cupboard. It's a useful base for some chicken pieces, or to make some vegetables into a casserole. Excellent with mushrooms. (Take into account the liquid that will be released by the cooking veggies, or else saute them first, before mixing with the stuffing)
This year, instead of a whole bird, I made Turkey Balls using 2 lbs ground turkey, 2 raw eggs, stuffing mix, then sauteed onion, celery, apple, mushrooms, (let cool before adding) Chardonnay, and cool broth. I added the usual spices, keeping in mind there's already some in the stuffing. I piled them in a lidded casserole, but you can also bake them on a sheet pan and serve with dips.

In fairness, it's not like you see it at the store all year round to remind you. Maybe get a couple boxes to have throughout the year? It's certainly on sale right now, or at least will be at the end of December.
So there's this amazing Chinese deli in San Francisco. We eat there like twice a year and every time we say we need to eat there more. It's not like we forget, it's just that we're busy. They were our main course Thursday. And then leftovers until yesterday. Godsdamn amazing char siu pork. Best I've ever had. I gotta order their bacon and their ribs next time.
What is the deli called? I'd like to check it out.
Go duck yourself
I had to Google it to believe it 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah me too. Short line, great pork. I haven't had the duck yet, but it smells awesome.
Care to share name.
Go duck yourself (yes that's the name)
I don't strictly forget about them, but I never think to buy them myself. Brussels sprouts.
Pulled pork. And then I wonder why I don't do it more often, and then remember that I prefer homemade one, and then I realise
:::: spoiler ain't nobody got time for that :(
Instapot, just as good, 90 minutes
Indian food mostly, but only because the best places are a drive away.
Eggnog. Probably best for my health that it's only readily available for a few weeks of the year. We make our own but still, we don't do that but til we're reminded it's eggnog season.
Eggnog is really easy to make and is way better than store bought. Ingredients are readily available year round. ✨️
Green olives. None of my cooking use them as an ingredient, so once in a blue moon I remember that I like them, so I eat an entire jar with a toothpick.
Disappointed I didn't find the "30 to 40 olives" meme in the comments.
I guess I'll have to link to it myself.
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hungry-but-too-tired-to-cook-try-30-to-40-olives
I make sure I always have an unopened jar. As soon as I open it, I put another jar on the shopping list. Check out some Puerto Rican dishes. Arroz con Gandules, etc. Great use of green olives in those.
I throw them in my salads
My "salads" are technically that due to having cucumber in them. But other than that it's mostly just cheese which I don't like with olives.
Falafel
I was at the Del Mar Fair once and got some super green falafel. It was awesome. I've spent 30 years chasing that high.
Spaghetti with minced meat.
Unfrosted Blueberry pop tarts
Persimmons. I love persimmons so much.
French tacos; there is only one place that makes them near me and it's at a train station i rarely need to go to for work; but if i need to go there you can bet i'm gonna eat that for lunch.
Thai yellow curry. It BANGS. I'll always forget when our family next orders Thai, and one particular person will always get yellow curry, and I always think "I remember thinking that was okay" and so I try a bit of theirs and it always tastes 10x better than I remembered it. Amazing every time.
