Wrong. I need that much soy sauce.

Also: a gallon of sweet chili sauce.

what is that horrible smell

Also: multiple bottles of Srirachia.

And tubs of pre-peeled garlic (which I freeze).

God bless the Asian market where I buy those bulk items, and of course God bless pre-peeled garlic.

you must make the most interesting ice creams

You keep multiple bottles of Sriracha in the fridge?

I thought that was for beer.

OTM

Although Jeff has been lobbying for a second smaller beer fridge for years.

Jeff OTM, the beer fridge will change your life

You keep multiple bottles of Sriracha in the fridge?

Yes, of course.

wtf

sriracha doesn’t need to be kept in the fridge fyi

I would be nice to put vegetables in the crisper drawers, I suppose.

I’m still trying to deal with this. Jesse, why do you even have multiple bottles of Sriracha? How many bottles are we talking about?

In the bathroom at my current workplace, there is a dispenser of some sort of fragrance. This stuff deserves to be outlawed under treaties against chemical warfare.

William, having know Jesse as long and as well as I have, I can say that multiple bottles of refrigerated Siracha is probably the least strange of his consumption/food storage/storage of nonfood items in places where there is usually only food habits.

I keep a bottle of sriracha in my toilet tank

I had a friend of college whose feet smelled so bad he often got unsuspecting people to ask what that horrible smell was BEFORE he even took his shoes off

your friend should stop wrapping his feet in your other friends brown sheets

lol

The fatal flaw of these:

I keep multiple bottles of Srirachia b/c I like Srirachia and I don’t like running out of it.

I do my Asian foods shopping at an Asian supermarket that is walking distance from my previous apartment, but miles from my current one. Soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, curry paste, straw mushrooms, and Srirachia are ridiculously cheap there, and they are things I use a lot of, so I stock up.

Srirachia, like soy sauce, doesn’t need to be refrigerated if used in a reasonable period, but like we learned ITT re soy sauce, it can eventually go bad. (I was at a friend’s house where she pulled from the pantry some Srirachia that was rust-colored and very watery. She didn’t realize that it wasn’t supposed to look like that b/c it had gradually turned that way over the years she had it. It might not have been toxic, but it was definitely *off*.)

It’ll go dark after a long time at any temperature. I gave my parents a bottle several years ago and it was dark as barbecue sauce before the old coots trusted it enough to dig it out of the back of the fridge to try it. Surprise! They liked it.

Interesting. Do you think it’s just due to oxidation, like when a cut apple turns brown?

I’m sure that’s it. I’d buy them a new bottle, but they’d fuss at me for wasting money.

Crazy coworkers are forever bringing in soups & casseroles to kiss-ass the managers...crockpots are on the other side of my cubicle.

Today = broccoli cauliflower soup, I hate both of these vegetables so much

HELP ME I AM IN HELL

if one of my employees brought me a crock pot full of soup, I would make them eat some of it in front of me to make sure it wasn’t poisoned

it’s pretty much every day...some are good but most of the time it’s like, “Um you know that we have homes & food of our own, right?”

The worst was the day of “seafood stew”...stunk the whole area out, I felt nauseous all day

what if yr employee had already consumed the antidote xp

well then, fairplay to that employee and I hope they enjoy the stress and ulcers that go with my position

if one of my employees brought me a crock pot full of soup, I would make them eat some of it in front of me to make sure it wasn’t poisoned

haha! i totally do this when i bring food to students. i always eat it in front of them and make a joke about it not being poisoned.

also broccoli soup should be forbidden in office atmosphere — waaaay too reeky

I eat broccoli every week and have never known it to be reeky

if one of my employees brought me a crock pot full of soup, I would make them eat some of it in front of me to make sure it wasn’t poisoned

nevar forget Gus Fring and Don Eladio

all those cruciferous vegetables start to give off sulfurous odors after they’ve cooked x amt of time — I try to never prepare enough broccoli or cabbage to have leftovers.

exactly

overcooked broccolis are extremely powerfully reeky

freshly lightly cooked broccolis are tasty (not as tasty as they are raw though imo)

Nope, sorry, they still smell bad and taste bad when lightly cooked.

Steaming brocolli should be mandatory by law.

Cabbage leftovers are not too bad if they’re placed in the fridge asap (aftter they’ve cooled down a bit).

broccoli is poison & should be outlawed, cooked or raw. Nation of VGrrl frowns on it.

wait wait wait a poster whose display name includes ‘Vegemite’ is trying to argue that broccoli is stinky? ?_?

dealwithit.gif

my sister used to cook broccoli daily and it stank to shit. never want to smell that putrid barf again.

many xposts

broccoli isnt so much stinky as evil wrong & must be stopped

My husband loves broccoli *sobs*

60 seconds of steam makes broccoli sweet and precious

people who steam broccoli, otoh, are disgusting savages

*snaps suspenders proudly*

people who eat broccoli = disgusting savages

sorry ilxors, but it’s true

people who eat broccoli = healthy

...smell terrible, and have stuff between their teeth

:D

(joeks, I love youse all)

you know what else is terrible, is when yr teeth fall out due to scurvy

steamed broccoli also helps block cancer

cancer can’t even handle the smell.

the farting drives it away

steamed broccoli could give hour long orgasms and glorious shiny stools and cure whatever but it would still taste like the worst kind of ass and I refuse to eat it. hmph

many xps—that was me with the gone over Siracha! Haha we do not use enough condiments it seems.

I would consider eating the worst kind of ass for an hour-long orgasm. Well, I would have considered it 20 years ago when my heart was strong enough to survive an hour-long orgasm.

broccoli is fucking delicious

^^^ real talk

save this talk for vegetables that deserve it, like okra

okra is the most vile vegetable

Your opinion is wrong.

xp vile indeed—it’s so watery and mushy inside, and so tasteless

I would consider eating the worst kind of ass for an hour-long orgasm.

#463 on the list of ‘Things Not To Say In A Swinger’s Bar’

Okra isn’t as good as broccoli, but it’s good. And you can cook it as long as you want and nobody’s going to say “what is that horrible smell”

many xps—that was me with the gone over Siracha! Haha we do not use enough condiments it seems.

No, it wasn’t! It was Katie.

I love: broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, visits to Yellowstone Nat’l Park, and most of all: RUTABAGAS. FUCK YES.

!!! I did the same thing! I thought you were witness to my shame, but it must have been Jeff.

You know what I like? Parsnips. That’s a good root vegetable.

parsnips are prtty gr8

Gonna also rep for broccoli, when its stinky and mushy, yr doing it rong basically. Lightly boiled/steamed, the sauteed in garlic and chilli, Italian-style. Aw yeah

^^^ dead to me, fyi

I do not are for broccoli 95% of the time but I will say that roasted broccoli is really good. Also, I like the stems much better than I like the bushy tops.

*care for

I like the stems too. I wonder if candying broccoli stems would produce horrors or delights. (If Tep can make candied olives, I can at least ponder candied broccoli.)

What is that horrible smell

(haha)

lol, yeah, I think that one may need to stay on the drawing board

you know, i currently have no srirachia in the house b/c what was left in the last bottle i had was ruined in the toasted sandwich incident. it was sitting on the counter a safe enough distance from the skillet, but the extended, extreme radiating heat caused the bottle to buckle, making me think of BPAs and stuff, so I threw it away.

I don’t know what that horrible smell was, but it kind of smelled like wet fart covered with cheap cologne and filled the hallways and elevator in my apartment complex when I went out this morning.

BLOOD AND BONE FERTILIZER UUURRGHRHR.

I mean, it smells like what it basically is—death.

Oh mate, is that horrible smell you?

^^^^ a harsh things to say to someone imo. The implication is not so much that they caused the bad smell, but more that they ARE the bad smell, as if they embody whatever smelly smell that’s currently assaulting you.

“If you were a bad smell, which bad smell would you be?”

oh god the skunk/burnt/dogshit/mildew smell is back, and i’m in the middle of eating my lunch

perhaps it is your lunch?

They screw up your order at the sandwich shop again?

damn

dad jokes, guys, dad jokes ~rolls eyes~

“I ordered the skunk, dogshit, and mildew special medium rare, not burnt to a crisp!”

Sat next to someone in a meeting today who was...not fresh.

Although tbh I am wearing a quite dirty cardigan yet again instead of having it cleaned on schedule, so the first few times the smell wafted my way, I wondered if it was me...but no.

i was reminded by that dumbass rick perry video that another way of saying that someone smells rank is to say that s/he smells “strong” — it’s all in the delivery, but when you say it in a certain way you know that the person reeks and doesn’t just smell strongly of shampoo or w/e

so I washed my cutting board three or four days ago and laid down, wet, on the countertop and forgot about it

when I washed it again today, a horrible smell like decomposing ham was unleashed when I released it from the countertop (it was still wet)

not really sure where it came from—I haven’t cooked meat in like a month!

if I’m honest with myself I’ll say it smelled like halfway poop—food that’s halfway to becoming poop

wow yuk

that’s super gross

congrats!

Throw that fucker out, dude, thats salmonella central you got there.

My stinky odessey: y’all recall I had a very sick cat for quite a long time (RIP yampy). She had been peeing all over the living room rug over and over and by the time we realised it was too late to save the carpet beneath. I got it cleaned and then laid down some plastic rug protectors under the rug but she kept on peeing til her end days, and now, six months later, i’ve peeled up the rug and plastic and OH GOD THE STENCH :(

I am so not getting any bond back :/ I’ve febreezed the shit out of the carpet but i doubt its gonna do much.

lol I sprayed it with comet and washed it

Impt questions: is comet bleach, and also is the borad wood or plastic? If wood *chuck it*. If plastic thats ok. Bleach and boiling water’ll fix it (tho it may still pong)
