I see people debating that humans eat spicy things for the endorphins, or because they have antibacterial properties... maybe it's both. maybe it's maybelline.

roller coasters and horror movies: definitely the endorphin thing. The thrill of something scary while also knowing you're actually safe.

I tried looking up whether other animals seek out spicy things for enjoyment.. all I could find is a few animals that eat spicy things because they don't taste it or are less sensitive to it.

Peppers, trying their hardest to make people not want to eat them by being all hot and stuff. Humans, deciding this only makes them more delicious.

@vitreus: I did bake them... Hadn't thought of that, will have to remember in the future!

@koneko: Yeah, I heard the cheese cools them down, kinda the same effect as drinking milk when eating spicy food. It work great lol

I need to figure out a good way to make jalapeno poppers. I discovered those are not too spicy for me and are, in fact, delicious... but last time I tried, the stuffing kinda bubbled out and made them a mushy liquidy mess. Albeit a tasty one.

Super spicy food is definitely not for me. When it reaches a point where you're feeling heat rather than appreciating flavors, count me out.

That make a little more sense.. still takes less time than the oven.

Posted in A Clawful Catastrophe Posted 4 years ago

That's what I thought. It's not even a little squash. i'll probably just wait til i have the kitchen to myself and use the oven...

ok no i won't cause i'm me, I'm gonna try the microwave first and see what happens cause I have to know

this thing (big butternut squash) says poke holes in it and microwave for like 4 minutes thinkingemoji.jpg
i mean i guess as long as it gets soft enough to put in the blender it doesn't matter too much; i'm gonna mix everything together and then put it in a pot and cook it more anyway

Posted in A Clawful Catastrophe Posted 4 years ago

the squash told me it could be cooked in the microwave, but i don't trust it.

Posted in A Clawful Catastrophe Posted 4 years ago

Exactly! Soup making time is sacred.

i made a sandwich. gonna save my squash soup for later when i'm sure i won't get trapped in the kitchen with grandma's company >:^|

Yeah. I just wish we wouldn't make exceptions. Especially without a verifiable doctor's note. If you physically cannot take this kind of precaution, there are other options (like ordering online or having a friend/relative do your shopping, etc). And failing that, a doctor's note explaining the condition, plus strongly enforced social distancing. Once these people are in the store, they don't take any more precautions than anyone else. They're all over the place and most don't even use self checkout, bringing them right up to whoever's at the register as well.
