Thank you! And yeah, the first time I kept stepping and frowning and muttering “what.” I’m still a little confused! I’m obviously a stronger painter with my dominant hand, but - this could definitely be going worse???

So glad you finally made it back safe!

Huh!

… wait, can most people not tell when something is using alternative sweeteners

The majority of people I know who dislike stevia have similar taste reactions to it - somewhere between sucking on a penny and weird vegetative off-ness - as opposed to the people who just find it intensely sweet!

I suspect we will find out there’s a gene variant involved in stevia taste perception, similar to with cilantro.

(I might have to keep an eye out for if it’s involved in migraine triggers, hmm)

Stevia tastes like drinking bog water out of an aluminum can. Makes everything it’s in inedible. And because it’s technically a natural sweetener, they don’t even WARN you about it, unlike “artificial” sweeteners.

I mean, to be fair, 2020 has yet to release its hold on us

Maybe a potato crust for a quiche? Aloo paratha? Samosas? There’s a huge range of Thai and Indian curries you can put them in, and they usually freeze really well!

If they’re waxy potatoes, I love pan fried shredded hashbrowns! Grate with a box grater, use your hands to squeeze out as much liquid as possible, and throw into a very hot pan with oil or butter. Season as desired. I’ll often do onions and or peppers at the same time, and an egg makes a meal.

Welp, that’s today’s reminder about how time works

Yay!!!

I definitely had a long, drawn out moment of confusion before it clicked lol

Sometimes I forget you weren’t always from Ontario.

Whom amongst us has not had to turn down the music so their eyes work better?
