@noelle just wait until I show them my cool invention that allows you to easily move heavy things along the ground due to a interesting bit of geometry!

(the wheel, I've reinvented the wheel)

@HTHR@cybre.space "pls don't" - god

@TheGibson Brando

after the little barrels of brandy that St. Bernards never carried while they were doing search and rescue

@InspectorCaracal @GwenfarsGarden@sunbeam.city aaaahhhh, I parsed the "This is the only part that requires attention: do not walk away from the stove" as referring to the bit that followed, not the bit before

Damn English language and it being so easily parsed incorrectly

@natalie@masto.ninja 10/10, would love to play with that knob

@InspectorCaracal @GwenfarsGarden@sunbeam.city my method is "get the water to boiling, sling the rice in, bring it back up to the boil, cover it, stop the heat, and leave it alone for 10 minutes" as opposed to "keep it simmering on a low temperature and keep an eye on it so it doesn't boil over"

I may have not explained that well earlier

@GwenfarsGarden@sunbeam.city @InspectorCaracal 2 cups of water to 1 rice, like two large pinches of salt usually does the job

@bgcarlisle@scholar.social little known fact, this is why the name Aaron began to be spelled with two a's

(this is probably not true)

hug yr computer frens

@InspectorCaracal heh, yeah

I do the experimenting on good spoons days so on the bad days I can just go from the notebook

@InspectorCaracal what I've found helps is I always rearrange the instructions so that anything that can be done ahead of time like cutting things up or measuring things out I do at the start then I can think "right, this takes 10 minutes to cook, this takes 20, then combine, so at t-20 put in the thing, then t-10 put in the thing, then at t combine"
