-ran out of garlic-nooooooooo
I FEEL YOU BRUV
I was like, how the fuck did THIS happen, didn't have so many unused cloves that I was afraid they'd all go bad?!? And the answer was: Yes, but then Thanksgiving happened.

this is why i buy bags of peeled cloves and keep them in the freezer
― smoove operator, Thursday, 8 December 2011 03:20 (twelve years ago) link
I never thought to prepeel and freeze garlic. Thats genius. Can ytou just cut/cook it from frozen?
― Leave town with an orange, and pretend you're laughing at it. (Trayce), Thursday, 8 December 2011 03:32 (twelve years ago) link
i buy bags that are pre-peeled bc i am lazy! i keep it in an airtight container in the freezer, zap a few cloves in the microwave for 15 secs to defrost (or just take them out of the freezer a couple hours before cooking), then i'm good to go.

i'm sure it probably loses some potency, but it's working for me
OTM.
The Asian supermarket sells 1lb. tubs of peeled garlic for ~$2.50.
BTW, TJ's smushed up jars of garlic paste are TERRIBLE. Why can't they just have normal minced garlic? I bought that paste when I still had a sense of smell and it smelled like methane.
xp- it thaws very quickly, so I never bother to thaw it at all.
It might not be good where raw garlic is called for, but cooked, it's A-okay.

Minced garlic inna jar is blechhh cos it has to be preserved with like vinegar or citric acid to stop spoilage and that gives it a taste :(

is she old and does she have 80s hair
― nakhchivan, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:01 (twelve years ago) link
im p sure there are at least some ppl who are old and have 80s hair and who look great
― nakhchivan, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:02 (twelve years ago) link
yeah kinda depends but overall it would sound like "you're petite and ripped" or "you have a square jaw and blonde hair" at the worst, i thinkand neither of those things are fundamentally bad
once i told a girl she looked like a young liza minelli, which to me was a huge compliment because she was super cute, but the girl only knew old liza. i held my ground and told her to gis because she really looked exactly like her here, ie insanely cute

oh man i made a bad public situation :(
I was in a crowded café and asked an old guy using two tables (one for his bag, one for himself) if maybe I could sit at the table his bag was on. He was all "You're really making things hard for me, there are other seats around. I mean geez, what's wrong with sitting over there?" – and he indicated a seat that was at a table with a baby - "can't you sit on that one?" I said, "uh, okay, if you really need two tables i'll go elsewhere" and walked off. As I was walking off, he said "no, no, come back, I guess I can manage." Two minutes later a seat opened up at the primo directly across from him and I took it now he is scowling at me and looking really miserable with life and I have an irrational desire to buy him a coffee or something and say peace, happy holidays. B/c he is obviously having a shitty day/life.

he is ... tuning a violin now. without playing it? without listening to it. i don't even understand. he just has a violin out and he is tightening and loosening the pegs, and rubbing a lint-free cloth around the body. it is a very, very nice violin. i am glad i sat here now: he is v. entertaining.

I hate old people who have a serious case of old. And i dont care if that makes me seem mean. Especially the old bats at the supermarket who PUSH IN FRONT OF PEOPLE in the checkout queue!! "I ONLY HAVE A FEW THINGS" well lady if you'd asked nicely I might have let you by but now you can go jump, you senile old cow.

Admittedly, me too. And I sometimes suspect thats why some old people are assholes, cos theyve been waiting all their life to get away with it.

OTM, I can't wait 'til I'm 85 so I can actually pull off complaining about a $5 copay increase by telling some stranger about every bad thing that has ever happened in my life. That was how I dealt with this very situation when I worked at a call center where mostly olds called. 'Someday, I will get to be this anciently entitled.'
