The bottom is peeling off my ancient slow cooker (not sure how, maybe I dropped it?) and that seems like it could become electrically unsafe if it keeps happening but I really really do not want to have to replace my slow cooker because I just KNOW that if I do I'll talk myself into upgrading into a slow cooker/pressure cooker combo (I've never had a pressure cooker before) and that is simply not in budget.
At least that would fall under the advice my grandmother gave me - never buy a kitchen gadget that only does one thing.
Just the slow cooker only does "one thing" in the same way that a microwave does "one thing" or an oven does "one thing". I think your grandma meant like, dedicated egg poachers and banana slicers.
But a combo does indeed do more things. The question is, are they more things I would make use of? I've never had a pressure cooker so I have no idea whether I'd actually use it (once the novelty wore off).
As far as I understand it, aside from being able to do jobs a slow cooker cannot (like canning, I think?) a pressure cooker lets you do what a slow cooker does, but fast. That whole 'fall off the bone tender after four hours in the slow cooker' deal, but in 45 minutes or something.
I would appreciate a fast cooker.
In the future, when finances improve.
Derin you can cook dried beans So Easily. Its amazing. Like it makes them worthwhile to have as pantry food again
That's great to hear I'm always forgetting to soak the beans and having to delay my bean meals. You guys need to stop telling me how cool these things are one is NOT in budget right now.
#I’ve always been utterly terrified of pressure cookers#but this may have been because my grandmother owned one older than she was
I used to have to autoclave so much bullshit in the lab, I am immune to that particular fear.
How are you not falling over with this many devils on your shoulder and no angels to balance it out
If I had spare cash right now then I actually wouldn't have spare cash but I would have a pressure cooker coming in the mail.
I think the rule "don't buy a kitchen appliance that only does one Thing" is oversimplified to the Point of Wrong. It's true for hyperspecific but complicated devices, Like one whose ONLY function is to Press oranges, or to Turn cold Milk into warm froth. It's significantly less true for Things for which both the design and the DEFINITION of its function is simpler.
The functional differences between a Slowcooker and a Pressure cooker, or between a Slowcooker and a fancy "stir and/or blend with optional Automatic heating" machine, for that matter, are so big, and so profoundly reflected in how it's build and what it's Made of, that one of the "multifunction" functions will inevitably be an inefficient/imperfect gimmicky tertiary function.
The Point of a Slowcooker is that it's cheap to obtain, cheap/energy-efficient to run, and easy to clean. That's why is consists of a heating Base and a ceramics Pot. The downside is that it Takes a Long time to cook.
A Pressure cooker is Made of Steel, on purpose, for fast heat-conduction and for stability and because it's easier to construct the seal-mechanism from Steel than from other Materials.
A Combination Mixer/Blender (stand on the counter Version with a bowl) contains a Lot of moving parts, which make them difficult to Clean, AND May come with the added ccomplications of where to Store the alternative Attachments (Blades/Whisk) when Not in use.
A friend of mine, who is an eating-disordered adult raising a DIFFERENTLY-eating-disordered preschooler, absolutely needs the functionality of a Slowcooker to make their Life and nutrition easier, and they're very connected in a system where people offer their used household Stuff for cheap for people who live halfway across town to come Pick it Up, but my friend doesn't want to get a Slowcooker because their fancy multipurpose steel-bowl Blender, which they never use, nominally has a Slowcooker Mode.

i feel like those posts thatre like “REAL gay people don’t talk about yaoi discourse they go to gay clubs and do ket” are crazy like i understand they’re critiquing a hyper specific genre of online queer but babe they can do both… i know people who are ravers and are always on shrooms and read mcr rpf like i feel like we draw a big line between the online queer community and the in person one but that girls at gay bars have tumblr accounts it’s really not that seperate

SO. Ides of March right? Yes I know, it is months away right now. But I have managed to get my parents on board with my stab Julius Caesar party. Not only do I have support, but also friends to attend such an occasion. Friends that are very enthusiastic.
So. Here are my ideas that I will have my party include. If all goes well, I will take pictures of the event and post it here.
-Roman Senator costume. This will likely not be required uniform, but I will likely be wearing one.
-Sign that says “WELKUM TO ROMEAN SENAT 44 BC”
-Caesar pinãta. Potentially filled with Caesar salad, if I am feeling evil.
-Caesar cake. This one was suggested by my mother herself, so it may be done. I’m thinking one of those cakes with like printed pictures. Or we could try to make one shaped like him ourselves. It would be really funny.
-Caesar salad will be served. I am not much of a big Caesar salad fan, but I believe it is necessary.
-Reenactment of Julius Caesar’s death
- Goody bags with tiny knives
-Several pictures of Julius Caesar’s face with an X drawn over them taped to the wall.
-“Et tu, Brute?”
-Leaving cookies out for Brutus
-Educational presentation on Rome and Julius Caesar
-ROMAN TRIVIA!!! Potentially in a game show format
-Sword fight duels
-I’m thinking like a game where each guest chooses a member of the Roman Senate and each get to find out their fate
-If you have any ideas for things that should be included, please inform me of them.
-Due to popular demand, Pin the knife on the caesar.
-Due to the demand of a few Tumblr users and my dad, little caesars will be served.
so. interesting news on this. fate has once again thrown another hurtle to my Julius Caesar stabbing party. I will be moving into my grandparent's house as my mother is moving to Chicago and my father is moving to Georgia. They are not getting divorce, as this is temporary and purely for business. However. My house should still be available. And considering the fact I am not fully moving, returning to my home each week to restock on clothing and other rations, and the fact my brother and his girlfriend will be living in the house, I do believe if I arrange it correctly, the caesar party is still on the table. It does mean I will likely be unable to arrange some of the items, such as anything I will have to order online. We will see how things go.
where there's a will there's a way and god damn it there is a will
news on the stabbing party front!
I have purchased my uniform.
And regarding my moving to my grandmother’s house, the scheduling is that I live there during week days and return home on weekends. The Ides of March is on a Sunday this year. Things are now looking up.
I am going to start organizing supplies. I will ensure that this happens.

Anonymous asked:
heyy bunjy can you tell us about your favourite things from the deeps?
it varies depending on the day, but I'm a real fan of the stoplight loosejaw and the black swallower!
the stoplight loosejaw is a gamebreaking aimbot of a fish that has re-evolved the ability to see the color red, and emit red light, in a deep sea world where red light simply is a thing that does not exist because it's filtered out of the water column close to the surface.
coincidentally, many deep-sea organism have evolved red pigment because it's biologically easier cheaper than black pigment to produce and it appears black under the fragment of blue light that makes it from the surface anyway, so what's the difference?
nothing, if you're not being hunted by a guy with an invisible flashlight who can also see the color you actually are. whoops.
the black swallower is a wrangly vorefish with an expandable stomach that it can use to eat prey up to twice its length and ten times its own mass! if you fit in the mouth, you're dinner, period.
(you don't fit in the mouth. he's 8 whole inches long.)
I also really like tripod fish.
hehheehe look at him. he sit.
