It would be something different but not bad. Clafouti is made like that, lots of egg not much flour. It’s lovely.

But if you know the recipe how would you miss by that much?

You wouldn’t put twice the salt and half the main ingredient in something you were cooking without expecting it to turn out very differently, right?

For left handed or right handed insertion, obviously.

L for the days you are losing so much blood it’s worrying. R for regular amount.

Corn. Cows. Beans, squash, berries.

We have great food here, honestly, and great wine and also bourbon is American. Great cheeses - Humboldt Fog is my favorite fancy cheese and it’s American. It’s just a big and diverse place. Italian - American food is its own thing and amazing. Cajun & Creole food are American cuisines.

I don’t think there is one food that can represent the whole country because it’s sprawling and diverse in every way.

Pay off all debt except the house. Pay the taxes on the 50k.

It’s very mixed where I am, no matter what axis you spin it on. Say what you will about Florida but on our block there’s a Muslim family, a hardcore right wing old couple, five ‘interracial’ families (as they used to be called), an old old lady house, a house full of hipsters, three sets of transplants from up north.

At work mostly seems to be at least anti-trump, my boss is an Elon Musk fanboy though.

I think it’s not good to wall yourself off. Unless you are in physical danger from your opposition (wall away in that case) it’s much better to set a good example and explain your ideas when asked or inspired to.

Yeah I think the right amount is either zero or a lot. There’s nothing I want a little bit of garlic in.

I don’t always measure for baking - for bread and pastry I do weigh everything (ETA not because there is an ideal - there is still a range of amounts that will work - but because I want to know what the hydration % is) but for cakes I do them like cornbread, it’s more proportions - I know that for 3 eggs I need a certain amount of flour, I know how much baking powder and salt per cup of flour, and how much fat, milk or buttermilk or yogurt or ricotta, whatever - know it will work if I get it in the ballpark.

For cooking yep I am a yeehaw no recipe anarchist. Or more accurately, I read recipes for inspiration then don’t look at them while cooking, but I am old and have made so many mistakes over the years I know what I’m doing. It feels like intuition but is experience.

Which is the after?

Florida cities are pretty liberal too. Except maybe Jacksonville but that’s nearly In Georgia. And Naples but that’s all expat northerners, and there is nobody more racist than the northerners that move down here.

Yes thank you.

My mind works more like this - North is always north, I can’t give directions using right and left and have broken every dance teacher I had, all ended up saying "toward the mirror, toward the window, toward the door, etc because I can’t find right or left fast enough to dance, it moves every time I turn around, I want directions to be fixed.

I know there is at least one with no concept of right or left, front or back, only the fixed directions of the world like north and south.
