Worst part about this is I've only ever used that yellow square emoji once and it was just to see how it looked. This isn't who I am. However, in retrospect, I suppose it is

Reading through the notes is a surreal experience please keep adding more to fuel my effervescent consumption of non descriptive emojis

So…am I the only one who remembers The Origin of Donnie?

WHERE THE FUCK WAS I WHEN THIS HAPPENED!?

marauders4evr

It was one of the saddest TV moments of my childhood! Donnie’s parents were originally very similar to Nigel and Mirianne. They befriended an orangutan mother and her son and taught them a single sign in sign-language: family. One day, poachers attached the orangutans. Donnie’s parents intervened and were killed for doing so. The villagers nearby sent their bodies to sea. Out of love and gratitude, the mother orangutan briefly ‘adopted’ Donnie, who was only a toddler. A year later, they stumbled across Nigel as he and the Thornberrys were filming. The orangutan decided that Donnie needed a human family and put Donnie in Nigel’s path. The Thornberrys, of course, adopted him, having personally known and respected his parents as great naturalists.

ACTUALLY! A breeder in Germany started to breed healthier pugs called “retro mops” and currebtly ppl are trying to get AKC and UKC to recongnize them as the new standard.

heres the comparison:

Reblogging with updates! Healthy bulldogs AND healthy pugs! ❤️

The absurd breed standards are a recent thing, developed in the past 100-150 years. The healthier breeds are much closer to their 19th century ancestors.

hack?

that’s just garlic confit

itsawritblr

Seriously, anyone who didn’t know about how to make this didn’t have parents/relatives who cooked.

Y’all need to pick up a cookbook. Or watch Julia Child.

brattylikestoeat

Sorry everyone didn’t grow up in a household where their caretaker cooker or knew how to cooked. Some of us didn’t grow up in a household with fresh fruits and produce. Some of us didn’t have the money to spend on a shit ton of garlic.

So how about enjoy the video instead of being a snobby bitch.

Also Julia Child would be ashamed of people behaving like that. Her whole deal was just… Making cooking accessible for people. Hell, she had a whole segment devoted to “oh, nobody taught you how to cook eggs? Here’s how you do that.” A significant part of her show was basics that people take for granted (and though the equipment may have changed somewhat, its still pretty helpful). My dad had busy parents who didn’t have the time or knowhow to cook, and he learned from watching Julia Child. French cooking made easy, here’s the basics everyone assumes you know but never taught you. And ever since, he’s had a love of cooking.

Stop putting people down for not knowing basics. Everyone is a beginner at some point or another.

I grew up in a healthy-eating cooking-skilled household and I did not know that this existed.

Just shut up and spread the TikTok

So confit is a way of cooking things, and it does marvellous things to many things. You put stuff in oil and slow cook it. That’s confit. Garlic confit? Put it in oil and slow cook it. Chicken confit? You put it in oil and slow cook it. (side note: confit historically means to preserve by cooking at a low temperature, (which often also meant a cure prior to cooking). So Fruit confit is fruit that’s been cooked at a low temperature in a very concentrated sugar solution, not in oil. Nowadays, confit usually just means cooking slowly in oil outside the context of fruit and does not imply a curing process) Compared to deep frying, almost no moisture is lost, and the flavour is not changed via the maillard process because it doesn’t happen. There is no charring or searing done to the meat/whatever you’re confitting. For veg in general, to confit them will cause them to become ultratender, as fibers and stuff will partially break down, cell walls will collapse, but no moisture will be lost. And their flavour will mostly remain; for garlic in particular, the hot garlicky taste, the result of the allicin, which is a result of crushing or chopping the garlic, will never come out. The chemicals will break down under that amount of heat. The oil does not terribly seep into the food by the way; it’s already saturated with water, and unless that water leaves, the oil doesn’t have a place to seep into. It’s saturated already, and the result of connective tissue breaking down, or fibres breaking down, is less room for fluids. Which is why a carrot can be nice and dry, go into a hot oven, and come out floppy and moist, as the water inside can no longer be held by its inside, and available, unabsorbed water = wet. You do get a thin layer of oil coating the outside of the food. This means that confit’ing a food item is actually very close to steaming that item at a particular temperature, or cooking it sous vide; in either case, the item does not dry out and slowly reaches its final temperature.

I like this post. Video with technique. Somebody being a dick. Other people saying don’t be a dick. Super helpful science dump that I enjoy a ton.
